You live in a deeply oppressive society. Free yourself from this cultural tyranny!

Something something protestant ethic, or some similar drivel.

Echoing that the statement "too much fun" is horseshit.

I live in the south and let me tell you it's an all too real phenomenon of people getting upset with you if you look like you're enjoying yourself too much.

If this makes me a boring old man, them I'm ok with that.
