I want to see this variation of a zombie movie.

Patient zero is a prominent politician.

His handlers continue to puppet him, because they already spent so much on his campaign.

Followers literally line up to be bitten and infected.

Imagine how hard it would be to resist wording things in the Imperative just... Accidentally.

You get frustrated, yell "Shut up!" at someone in passing, and that person is now mute unless you realize your mistake and undo it.

To confirm what you mean by "I'm a conservative", which of these commonly held "conservative" beliefs (each which implies a lack of empathy) do you not subscribe to (i.e. "I don't think like that...")

  • Black people only get harassed by police more often because they commit more crime.
  • Gay people shouldn't be allowed to marry.
  • Women should not have the choice of abortion.
  • The state is allowed to infringe upon free speech to prevent you from telling children about gay people.
  • Foreigners are ruining this county.
  • Climate change is a lie.
  • COVID was a lie.
  • Contemporary statues honoring Confederate traitors and slave owners are "honored cultural heritage".
  • All corporate media lies about Donald Trump, except that corporate media which supports him.
  • Rich people earned all that money, and we have no right to take it back, or to limit how they use it.

Might subcategorize, like "Frankensteinian irony."

That, or she should be named "Mary" instead, I guess.

Honestly, I put animal abusers in a lower circle of hell, along side child abusers.

It's about the power differential. The difference between a white adult male and a black adult female (for example) might be considerable, but its not going to be even close to the power differential between either of those adults and a child or a pet.

Confidence? Not so much. But it's less a fear of rejection, and more a fear of upsetting someone.

In short, my thought process goes like this:

  • Approaching women can make them uncomfortable.
  • I don't want to make anyone uncomfortable.
  • Therefore, I don't approach women.

I basically limit myself to online dating, but as we all know, that's a shit show unless you're in the top 10% on the scale of attractiveness. And so I've been single 10+ years.

I, for one, thought this was a reasonable take.

What else do people expect you to comment? Like...

Neat.

Or...

Thoughts and prayers for the driver and his family.

?

What discussion can a post like this garner except speculation? And to preface your speculation with an acknowledgement that the story has no real details... seems fair to me.

Currently somewhere around 10 years single.

I struggle with social cues, anxiety, etc.

It's lonely.
