There's an incredible Diane Cluck song Battlefield Nurse that's very similar to the first part of this quote:

That's hilarious. Where did you hear that part of the story?

I think that's how human brains be. We're already notoriously bad at correctly accounting for low-risk events (eg the lottery). Plus being constantly aware of the full myriad of threats we face would probably be debilitating.

If you haven't had or seen a kind of accident your brain probably sees no compelling reason to account for it. My partner was lax about flu shots until she started working at a funeral home and saw how many people of all ages die of the flu. Now it's a threat she has the awareness to accurately account for.

All republicans are asking media companies to do is to promote their hate speech and censor and name anyone who disagrees with them. Just normal, sensible media policy that any fascist regime would implement.

I had two friends who were in a choir and they would rickroll people live at parties - sneak up behind people and start singing the entire song.

There's also no real indication that it was a drug boat or that any of the people we killed were working for a cartel. Best case scenario is we murdered some fishermen who get pressured into working for a local cartel every now and again. More likely, we just murdered some fishermen.

'Nazi mouths off at event' is always a distraction.

What's this? The homophobic incel neo-nazi who streamed his gay porn and then claimed it was mossad is denying something?

Ah, yep, fair enough. That is definitely more understandable as a preliminary theory that Patel should not have been mouthing off about yet.

Yeah I feel you. I'm fascinated with the early Indo-European past but so are heaps of fascists.

I'm not a gun person but my understanding is that no one who's looked at bullets could mistake a manufacturer's imprint. Where it is and what it looks like preclude it being anything else. It would be like confusing a barcode for a brandname.

Fascists of all stripes have a weakness for Norse mythology.
