    Mmmmm the invisible laws of attraction have been making headlines i see. If a person knows another is -however- wrong…why keep reacting? Are you them? If you have time to complain you have time to move the hell up and on on yes?

      Just wait for a few generations of brain implants down the line. Then you will believe what you are programmed to believe. Opposition will be literally unthinkable.

      I used to have a lot of less visible piercings, but I had a persistent intrusive thought about being rushed to an MRI while unconscious that I couldn’t get past. Implanting magnets in your body is insane.

        A woman’s son was given an order for an MRI because of some heart problems. He was very nervous about it, but he didn’t want to tell his mom why.

        His parents were divorced. Turns out, when he was staying with his father years ago and came home with a black eye, it wasn’t caused the way he described. He and his friends were playing with a BB gun, and he got shot in the eye, and the BB was still in there under the skin. His father made him promise not to tell his mother.

        They put a magnet up to it, and it was attracted to the magnet. They had to get it removed so they could get the MRI.

        The chef’s kiss to the story:

        As a child, his mother had lost an eye after being shot with a BB gun.

              I’m guessing A Christmas Story (1983).

              A central theme is the main character Ralphie really wants a Red Ryder Carbine Action 200-shot Range Model air rifle for Christmas, but all the adults he expresses this to insist he’ll shoot his eye out.

                Of course, you’re correct. Now I feel like an idiot.

                To be fair, I don’t allow myself to watch Christmas movies or listen to Christmas music except between Thanksgiving and Christmas, so my mind wasn’t there yet.

                  Only way to fight back in the War on Christmas, which like the Palestine and Israel is mostly just an excuse for the alleged victim (Israel) to attack and take territory from their neighbors.

                  Here Christmas has invaded so far that there are occasional sightings before the equinox.
