I literally thought Spirit airlines too. Sometimes there's partnerships where a segment might be operated by a smaller regional company so thought that was the case at first glance.
Had a couple of rabbits as pets and almost never had this problem. I was always tooling around in the produce shelf looking for a treat for them. Made me more aware of produce that was expiring.
Caveat: If you do have a rabbit or are thinking of getting one, stay informed on what they can eat and how much. Learned from their vet that too much calcium-rich produce was not good for their urinary tract. Fruit and carrots were bad for their teeth and should be given sparingly.
I think there's a certain power dynamic that comes with looking and acting older. If you look the same age or younger than your kids, that power dynamic is most likely going to slowly shift. It'd be like if you're in your 40s working for a guy who looks like he's in his 20s. While possible, I imagine it'd be a challenging arrangement. Not to mention how your kids would feel about your decision as a parent to take an age reversal pill.
Childhood indoctrination is a big part of it. I have been told by my 8-year old niece that she'd like to save me from drowning in a lake of fire. She was genuinely scared for me. It's literal child abuse followed by Stockholm syndrome.
I also hate the use of this lazy plot device. Up to my later teenage years I did hold this misconception and I'd say a lot of children nowadays probably do as well.
I think the problem for me now as an adult is that the misconception is subconscious. Tv/film typically treats all wounds as black and white - you either die from them or its a full recovery at some point. They don't address the many different awful and lingering residual effects that can happen. I'm so conditioned by this Hollywood effect that when I hear news of an event involving an accident or act of violence my mind downplays anything where no one dies. Six people get into an accident on the highway resulting in serious injury? Oh well no one died, so they're "fine."
Yeah I'd say that's got to be triggering to hear. How do you respond to "advice" like that normally? Assuming it's from someone who actually knows your brother.
Bionics. In the show, The Expanse there's a scene where a guy who had his arm cut off in a space accident is trying to get his company to not cheap out and to pay for a bionic arm replacement instead of regrowing him a new arm. The bionic arm being greatly more superior than a normal arm.
Lately, robotics and prostheses are becoming so advanced I can see this as happening to where people will eventually want artificial designer parts over their own.
This is so fucked up but yeah I can see them settling for research on a drug or treatment that just keeps you from reaching Stage 4 to where you become a lifelong consumer of said medical company.
Omg yes this absolutely. I eat to nourish myself and survive and am punished randomly by self-inflicted mouth wound that lasts for days/weeks => evolutionary failure at its finest.
Insult to injury when the food is actually something healthy like a salad instead of fries.
Death ambivalence? I feel like I've seen that term floated somewhere.
