Lawrence: "Try these other things, instead!" People: "Have done, they sucked." Lawrence: "You can tweak them to be more like what you want!" People: "You frequently can't, at least not consistently." Lawrence: "I don't get why consistency is such a big deal to you!" People: "Here's a brief rundown on why we care about that." Lawrence: "You should really be more grateful for the thing you don't like, can't make suit your preferences, and find frustratingly inconsistent!" People: "Why?" Lawrence: "I mean, it's not like someone's *forcing* you to use it!" People: "You were literally *just telling us* to try it."
