    Yeah, there are a lot of movies and shows where people talk like human beings. Hell, as a writer, nobody in my novels holds the idiot ball nor fails to talk like a normal person, just because that would be convenient for the plot to move along.

      i hate the idiot ball. thx for avoiding it.

      however, the person we were replying to seems to have edited their comment in a way nothing makes sense any more. maybe the idiot ball is real. idk 😅
