    Yeah, but… I wouldn’t describe a roller coaster as “painful.”

    Like, I understand the connection you’re making, but I really have to stretch my words to get there.

    I just, I think you’ve found a frame to better understand the world through, and you’re applying it to everything, even when it might not really make sense to. You’re using the concept of “pain” as if it were a fundamental atom of the universe.

    It would sort of be like describing an orange as “painful” because the flavor of an orange includes acids.

    To be clear im not saying “all jokes therefore are fine […]

    I’m not accusing you of anything, don’t worry.

      Citrus stings yes. Peppers burn. You can enjoy it but yeah I’d say that’s painful. People like bitters, it’s still bitter.
