Yeah, I wasn't saying it was the worst thing I've heard. Simply that it was typical of the unnecessary and deliberate ways in which some people in the states have decided to comport themselves. EQ and empathy aren't thought of in this modern context until some tragic or calamitous event befalls the victim. Then it's 'woe is me', I've conveniently forgotten all the shitty shit I've done deserving a karmic backlash, and time to start a GoFundMe...because money makes everything better. /s

But, yeah, by way of comparisons, your guy is a much better example of the current spate of American non-exceptionalism. Good thing Polio struck when it did, because our current bumper crop of selfish Americans wouldn't have met muster.

Also. My Binary is arriving today. Will post pics later. Legion, Sandman, Tigra and Hera on their way. Yay!

PS: I always love the sense of community in Japan where you don’t do certain things in order of protect those around you. I am triple vaccinated and still use masks and gel to protect my clients at risk. If I can be vaccinated 5 times to go to an exotic location, I certainly will be vaccinated to protect the elderly and vulnerable around me.

The concept of self-sacrifice is largely lost over here and has been replaced by an aggressively sanctimonious sense of self-absorption and self-preoccupation. What can I get? What's in it for me? Purely transactional. The fish stinks from the head down and as we hurtle toward a kleptocratic oligarchy the moral rot demonstrated at the top will continue find purchase within the rank and file at a faster and faster clip.

Looking forward to seeing those Binary pics!
