Sometimes my brain...

Was browsing r/fountainpens (bad idea), and saw a post with a pretty sketch of a house with cartoon proportions. OP was asking for advice about ink clogging up her/his pen. Nothing wrong so far.

Then, in the comments, a person, in praise of the art, states, "I wish I could live in a house like that."

My brain: *twitch* No. No you don't. That house will cave in on itself from the uneven weight distribution and lack of support. That house is a fucking death trap.

Ahem.

I get that the commenter was just trying to say something nice, but gah.

It just bothers me so much to see people make these well-intentioned but ultimately generic praise without actually thinking about what those words are actually conveying. I guess it's better than outright trolling or nastiness, so...

*sigh*
