We shouldn’t fool ourselves into mistaking the world as we experience it for the world as it really is.
The two are related, but the relationship is complicated, and it’s real work to figure it out.
@Popehat We're never going to change their hearts and minds if we treat this kind of conduct as a bad thing.

I’m going to congratulate you instead of Zoot. I’d go to her directly, but I have a feeling she won’t remember her old pals who knew her back when she was cursing sparrows.

Boss, Boss, cursing sparrows! Stop, stop, I can’t breath, I’m laughing so hard.

You may be but a lowly siphonapterid, F.F., but you have taste. Hell, you’d make a better president than Incurious George. At least you admit you’re not boss.

Uh-huh, yes, and you’re above blandishments, Zoot, we all know. That page of fawning over your presidential endorsement proves it.

Boss, Boss, brilliant! You zinged her right where she licks! You’re like the Marconi of cat ripostes; the Tesla of feline rejoinders; the Edison of pussy put-downs.
