I certainly do!

fun fact this quote (originally Steven Crowder) is how I tagged the personality traits traditionally associated with the aries star sign (and for those that do deeply identify with Astrology I would like to point out that I am personally an Aries, at least sidereally, and my sidereal chart is much more true to me personally). Also to attribute this quite honestly hilarious quote to crowder I think it’s also important to reproduce it with the typos intact. They give substance to the quote in much the same way as Spiders Georg who is an outlier adn should not have been counted.

Not sure if this is what they’re talking about, but vampires are frequently depicted as having to stop and count large numbers of small things. So if you’re being chased by one you can throw out salt or grains of rice or seeds or whatever and they will have to stop and count it before they continue pursuing you. Or you can attack while they’re preoccupied too I guess. That’s where you get the count from Sesame Street.

there have been several cases over the years of people plowing their car into the ER waiting room when the heat attack / stroke finally gets too severe.

no visitors also means there’s no one to provide medical history or advocate for you if you become too sick to speak for yourself. So you do need at least one person who can be trusted to also uphold the same level of secrecy for your benefit. MUTUAL AID, PEOPLE. The community needs to resist.

Now that said all of this is gonna go fits up once they gut EMTALA and it becomes legal to hold off on CPR until they can rifle through your wallet for an insurance card.

been thinking a lot about this lately. especially Plato’s allegory of the cave. pretty sure when you go around that corner it’s just another cave but with it’s own little fire in it. there’s no actual way out. they’re all just more caves. that’s all you get.
