    I understand metaphors just fine.

    “Lightning never strikes the same place twice” is a metaphor that people think is true too, doesn’t mean we can’t use it.

      But you’re the one saying we can’t use it…?

              So then we’re back to the original reply that you don’t understand metaphors. No one thinks it’s literally fucking true. That’s how metaphors work.
