But I would not oppose the invention of a telepathic keyboard.

I think we not only CAN but SHOULD have close friends of the opposite sex without there being an expectation of it leading to marriage. I don’t like at all when people go on about how that’s not allowed and a bad thing.

Ramps should be the standard. Automatic doors should be the standard. Elevators in multi-story buildings should be the standard. ASL interpreters at events should be the standard. Braille menus at restaurants should be the standard. Accessibility should be the standard. You cannot meaningfully support Disabled people without supporting accessibility.

Character describing a situation in a way that’s both complete and correct, but emphasises entirely the wrong thing  

Character offering a very unlikely explanation for something with no indication that they’re aware how unbelievable it is  

Character remarking on an unfortunate happening in a way that vastly understates its import  

Character willingly participating in a fun activity while maintaining an impenetrable poker face
