I don’t hate anything. That word seems to mean something different to most people than it does to me. I’m careful with my language, and hate describes such an extreme emotion that I’ve yet to encounter anything I’d genuinely feel that way toward - except maybe cancer.

There are, however, things people say that I do dislike. Not just the loose use of the word hate, but also trendy phrases and slogans like “fuck around and find out.” What bothers me about those is that if you’ve already seen two people use the same phrase, it’s already old and no longer clever or funny - it’s just recycled noise at that point.
