Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

I didn't read that as "he didn't realize those things" but as "he didn't think he'd care as much as he did". Like, it's easy to say "I could go without X" but actually doing it is different. That's a universally true experience that seems more likely than "Kevin Bacon thought average people get to skip lines and have strangers say I love you"
