Here's a somewhat amusing thought, Anons

From a Behavioral Science perspective, we are about to have ringside seats at probably the

greatest inadvertent experiment in how experiential learning is sometimes NOT the most ideal

method in which one may acquire knowledge.

I suspect the ones slapped across the face with a dead mackerel would probably wish after-the-fact

that they were able to learn the easy way about all the shit that's about to go down.

Amusement is where you find it. Keep that in mind when the urge strikes you to shake

the fuck out of someone for being an idiot.

It doesn't excuse their stupidity necessarily. But at least it gives you something to privately be grateful you don't have.
