Does it annoy you twice as much because you make the news?

[apricitous]

I don't think multipliers are helpful in this case.

Suffice to say... a lot.

[absbylightning]

You could always transition into police work?

[apricitous]

That's a bad idea.

[absbylightning]

Politics? I’m sure Ollie could help you out.

[apricitous]

Even worse.

No, I'm going to stick with the press. It's just a little trying.

[absbylightning]

But I mean, it's the Planet. You guys do that hard hitting news stuff.

[apricitous]

Which is why I'm so frustrated by this.

You can be as hard hitting as you want, but if someone can pretend it's all made up, it doesn't make the difference it should.

[absbylightning]

Kind of like people who don't want to believe in science?

[apricitous]

Exactly.

[absbylightning]

Yeah, it's frustrating.

[ Yes, this girl lacks a heartbeat. ]

Whatever happened to calling it propaganda?

[apricitous]

[ That's all right. No judgement. ]

I think the word's too big for him, but that's an unkind assessment.

[scarlet_devil]

True. And I thought Charles IX was bad.

[ She should know, she lived during his reign. ]

[apricitous]

What was that like, if you don't mind me asking.

[ Journalist. The general inclination is curiosity, more than anything. ]
