00:10:39 ◼   ► I realized I truly believe that they're annoyed but the one thing that often [TS]

00:10:44 ◼   ► comes up is there's a contingent of people who don't like it when people [TS]

00:10:48 ◼   ► like us [TS]

00:10:50 ◼   ► linked to stupid articles and point out specifically how stupid that they are [TS]
