@infinitefinite @StefanThinks there was a fellow software engineer I used to work with, whose catchphrase was "living the dream". When someone would engage, the convo would go like that, but the engager would only be left wondering if he meant it that darkly, he didn't say it outright.
He was the most miserable person I've ever seen smile. 😬
If he'd have just said the quiet part out loud....
