The invisible man is upset because his hot bar crush doesn't know he exists (how could she, the dude's invisible)

Hunters enjoy the sport of hunting. It would take the fun away if the animal killed itself. The deer is running a lose-lose gambit by killing itself

Kid loves smashing windows or sumn

I missed it the first time too, but that isn't what he's saying. She probably doesn't even know I don't exist. It's got a double-negative. If you cancel them out, you get: "She probably ~~doesn't even~~ know(s) I ~~don't~~ exist."

you cannot just cancel out negations like that

he does not exist and she doesn't know it

This reminds me of Shrek when Pinocchio gets around lying by saying "I don't know where he's not," but if you think about it for one second you'll see that knowing where someone is also means you know where they aren't at. So it's still a lie.

maybe they're in a quantum superposition, you can never be sure

Then you don't know where he is!

no, if you know one of the places where he is you can just observe him and he will be there and then you know exactly where he is and is not

But you can't just magically remotely view somewhere you can't see.

I interpret it as her being unaware of his nonexsistence.
