12. Just accept it and move on.
11. Everyone knows this is true.
10. Sometimes is often.
9. Maybe they’ll consider this constructive feedback?
8. There’s no reason it can’t be both!
7. Some people are just like this. You have to know who you’re dealing with.
6. Way harsh, Tai.
5. File that away for future reference.
4. You never know for sure how deep it goes.
3. Seems like a fair trade.
2. Just another few sentences…
