Good to know that I am not the only one who thought like this.

I'm getting old enough to have a song for half the stuff people say.

At the time of Bubbles's weaponized monologue, I said that it was so devastating to Pintsize that he would never be the same. Since then, we've enjoyed the continuing tension of Pintsize going through successive performative layers. One moment we think we was genuinely affected, the next we're all "Oh snap, he's Andy Kaufman!" At this point, though, I believe it's safe to say that my original assertion was correct. Even if he were to land on "Ha ha, I'm just an asshole." again, the very fact that he's spent this much time dwelling on the subject reveals something about his underlying state of mind. I think Bubbles has wrought a permanent change in him. What do you think?
Mordhaus:
I have to say this arc seems to be a celebration of an ornithological miracle, bringing forth a mass awareness of a certain avian variety.

The main this is that he's a known uncontrollably, possibly pathological liar. He's lied so often, so commonly and about everything that even if he is telling the truth 100% nobody at this point will believe him, and he's probably going to undercut his sincerity with another lie or outrageous act. See, the pigeon. He's the bot who cried wolf. He reminds me of Deacon from Fallout 4. Someone who lies so much and tells you he's does so that you can never trust him if he says he's telling the truth for once. His lies are so frequent that nobody can believe he's ever truthful. Even if this is something that's tearing him up inside (and it wasn't just the pigeon) and tried to be serious about it, nobody can believe him at this point. Doubly so when he caps off his 'serious talk moment' with a joke.
