That ritual is cool. It's in the expense of "what do you want?"https://twitter.com/Moshe_Hoffman/status/1142851541193252865 …

Oops. Wasn’t meant to be shitpost. Meant to just use your language as an illustrative example to make a point. (I personally have said similar things myself. Eg to last person who bought me chocolates.)
