"It's a lot more fun"

Trolling is a staple of Internet culture, and actor Seth Rogen might have the best tactic for dealing with the idiots who just won't take a break. Taking to Twitter to explain his strategy, the 39-year-old star wrote: "A lot of people come at me and talk s*** on Twitter hoping I'll engage with them publicly and give them attention, but instead I DM them and tell them to go f*** themselves privately. "It's a lot more fun." https://twitter.com/Sethrogen/status/1463721379509903360 This comes amid Rogen's online back and forth with YouTuber Casey Neistat. Neistat tweeted: "So our cars got robbed this morning because Los Angeles is a crime riddled 3rd world s***hole of a city but tremendous appreciation and gratitude to the hardworking officers at the @LAPDWestLA who not only arrested the motherf****r but they got all of our stolen goods back." https://twitter.com/Sethrogen/status/1463591771493961730 But Rogen couldn't necessarily relate to the statement; he replied: "Dude I've lived here for over 20 years. You're nuts haha. It's lovely here. Don't leave anything valuable in it. It's called living in a big city." Neistat asked whether he could still be mad as he "Feels so violated". "You can be mad but I guess I don't personally view my car as an extension of myself and I've never really felt violated any of the 15 or so times my car was broken in to. Once a guy accidentally left a cool knife in my car so if it keeps happening you might get a little treat," Rogen replied. https://twitter.com/Sethrogen/status/1463674479272361987 Neistat confirms that he got no "little treat" but instead had the decorations for his daughters birthday party stolen. While the conversation appeared to be turning sour at first, the two ended up discussing the safety of LA. https://twitter.com/Sethrogen/status/1463678364397412353 "Also it sucks your shit was stolen but LA is not some shithole city. As far as big cities go it has a lot going for it," Rogen added.
