Melissa: my friend and i were talking today about how hard it is to say something sincere without sounding patronizing, because we're all cynical assholes. i told her about how any time you say something really sweet and sincere to me, you couch it by saying "Anyway, whatever, shut up, that's stupid."
Dustin: Sincerity should never ever be delivered without telling someone they're dumb
