   If you wanted to spend just one minute talking to every person on the planet, it would take you more than 200 lifetimes to do so*.

   So don’t waste even a minute on some cynical troll or sea lion.

   Block and move on.

   Life’s too short and there are countless people out there more worthy of your time.

     Woah, I never thought of it like this. This really further reinforces the validity of my mission of "cutting these bitch-ass fools out of my life forever." Thanks, Aral!

     @aral "...cynical troll or sea lion. ..."

     I did not recognize the term "sea lion" used in this context,

     So five seconds worth of Duck-Duck-Go-ing earned me clarity :

     https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/sealioning-internet-trolling

     And also

     https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sealioning

     I have experienced the wrong end of "Sea Lioning",

     No doubt many people have at some point or other,

     Yet never until your post here,

     Did I know it had a name.

     Mark this as one of those "TIL" or "Today I Learned" reply/posts.

     Thank you Aral for including the term.

     @HiMYSYeD I only learned it rather recently and boy, did a lot of things suddenly make sense :)
