A threat, a burden, and an insult walk into a bar
Context: "A lack of basic reading comprehension. Folks picked up 3 prickly words, skipped the rest, ignored the context within the thread's interactions, & drew poor conclusions. The most important three words in that tweet were "Do you think..." not "pills, medicine, or exercise.""
"Do you think..."
"You" is a threat: "You said 'You', but you really mean me!"
"Do" is burden. Action verb. All actions are burdens.
"Think" is an insult, a question of intelligence.
