Other person: You should watch this movie, I think you'd enjoy it.
My thoughts: ("Should" is a myth, the universe does not revolve around us organisms, we humans are just egomaniacs, even if the Judeo-Christian God existed He could not logically make Himself "should" say "Let there be light!" or make the light "should" exist at any point in time)
My words: Okay, I'll check it out, thanks for the suggestion!

Also, I did say "you might change your mind". 😁
