I hear ya, but I gotta say, America ain’t nothing compared to Japan in that regards. They have actual standardized stock phrases for all types of interactions, at work and at home.

I’m a sovereign citizen of the galaxy and I’m not subject to the laws or authority of the universe. “Physics”, as you sheep call it, is an unlawful system set up by a fake Milky Way government to assign us all corporate crab shell identities and remove our right to travel freely in the Z-plane
