When you want to know the truth, don't ask nicely. Ask like you mean it. Like this:
Are you a functioning adult human being?
Do you have a pulse and a working liver?
Are you aware of the concept of personal space and boundaries?
Because, let's be real, subtlety is overrated.
What's the point of having feelings if you can't express them loudly?
Are you secretly a robot? Asking for a friend.
Can we talk about something else now?
