Your guess about why the people didn't heed the robot's warning is a good one. But the thing is, this place is new. Really new. So I don't think the place has regulars yet, and I don't think the robot alarm has cried wolf too many times because it just hasn't had the chance. But I like that you're giving these people the benefit of the doubt. You are generous and fair, and let's be honest, too good for this world, Meg!

The less uplifting possibility is that everyone in that food court was so depressed they figured going down in a blazing inferno while eating Detroit style pizza was as good a way out as any.

Your decision to heed the robot says a lot about your outlook on life, Michael. You still have a few fucks left to give. 💜😊

There's a lot of truth in your alternative take. I've been giving fucks for 46 years, and I'm not planning to run out of fucks anytime soon.

You should start a cult of positivity. I'll join! 😎

Sold! I've always wanted to lead a cult. But we should probably recruit Amran because he's a pretty good bulwark against toxic positivity.
