> how to human


That's not a quote from me? I think you're just proving my point.


You're right, it's my quote--where I gave an inline description about what was condescending about it. Since you asked, I repeated it.


But I never said that? I was asking what part of my description was condescending, not what part of your description was condescending.


> I never said that

I know. I said it. Why am I having to repeat this?

> what part of your description was condescending

What? I'm not saying my description was condescending. It is a description of your reply. It pinpoints what was condescending about that reply. You are "leaping at the opportunity" to explain "how to human". This is condescending. It would be like if I launched into an explanation about why it's a good idea to shower and maintain good hygiene, as if you needed to be told that body odor can be unpleasant for other people and might make them not want to be around you.
