    It really is quite easy to ignore them. I’ve been able to do a stellar job at it, but I also find that it’s really easy since I’ve never met a single person in my entire damned life who likes it to the point where I feel the need to take some kind of action. Yes, sometimes a friend explains that they like pumpkin spice and that is not a crime. It’s good because then if I ever get them something I’ll know what they like.

    Yes, you said people can like things. You also made it pretty clear that if you ever hear them excited about the thing they like you’ll label them as annoying and then the rest of your nonsense comment kicks in.

    Oh, and the bacon thing was a deliberate ad/propoganda campaign by the pork industry and it’s likely that 90% of what you saw as fervor was really just an advertisement. The rest is because, and I know this might seem crazy, bacon is pretty good and people like it.

      Nope. That only happened in your mind.

      the bacon thing was a deliberate ad/propoganda campaign

      I’m aware. I’m also aware that that’s also how the manufactured psl craziness started. As a Starbucks ad campaign that went viral and then, with the help of everyone from your neighbor to the local news anchor to live nationwide tv became the Kardashians of coffee.

      bacon is pretty good and people like it

      Finally you’re speaking sense.
