Oh to be a young man, arguing on the internet about being literal in everything you come across, fighting against any and all rules because you've never had to really overcome any real obstacle set before you, an entire society based around your wants and needs. Constantly acting embarrassingly, while people around you cover their faces, roll their eyes, and sigh as you, very correctly, lecture them on the literal meaning of words while you find someone less socially able than you to punch down at. To feel that smug superiority in pointing out that your awful, awful actions towards your fellow community members is, in fact, legal, and that you're allowed to do it, and to say anything against you is unfair. Throwing strawman arguments and delectably smarmy 'nuh uh's' at your peers, the true 17-20 something experience.
