What Scares You The Most?

Going senile.

Well, since almost anything one does in life carries with it a chance of injury, harm, or death… I really do not think much about it.

But bats…. I HATE BATS!

A rebirth after death. Chances are that I will be born in a poor country and suffer a dreadful life in poverty and hopelessness. :person_facepalming:

My hope is my soul can leave this miserable planet earth and go explore the vast cosmos. No rebirth back to earth.

You win the thread.

Some lunatic disinformation filled nut job doing something truly horrible to important people, throwing our nation into more chaos than it has already been suffering from over the past 4 years.

Rosie O’Donnell and Roseanne Barr telling me with a hungry look in their eyes that they “want” me.

Yeah, and on the other side of my car in the carwash: Rebel Wilson and Lizzo.
But they can’t touch me because I’m driving a VW Polo, and not a schoolbus.

If you can’t be with the one you love, love the one you’re with. But there are limits.

Guess that also depends if they’re carrying bags of flour or sharp knives.

Or worse, both.

I’ve been watching what is happening in Georgia, where I’m legally registered as an overseas voter, with increasing horror.

Election workers in Fulton County shredding registration forms
Offering food or water to people waiting in line to vote is now a criminal offence.
New absentee ballot timelines make it very difficult for overseas voters.
State legislature has control of the state election board.

As for flying… The being in an airplane does not scare me at all. Airports on the other hand are terrifying. We got both covid on our recent trip to the US. Good chance we picked it up in an airport.

Landing at LAX. Can you spot the plane on parallel approach?

Mmmmnope… where is it?

When she was younger Rebel Wilson played on an Aussie TV series called Fat pizza, great show the producer is Maltese so its got a good mix of Australians. Shes a very different person now days.

Dumb people.

People that get a dopamine hit from forcing (or trying to force) others to do something, at no objective benefit to themselves.

They’re generally capable of perceiving any fictitious self, or group, benefit imaginable and THEN they’re capable of advocating absolutely anything.

The overt tyrants and greedy people aren’t as scary - there’s at least some rationality to their behavior.

There are other fears, but I won’t ever tell, because I’ve read “1984” and I have no interest in playing Winston in this iteration.

You don't want a rat cage (filled with rats) attached around your head?

That’s a Rebel Wilson? I was so blissfully unaware before… :expressionless:

“Nooooo! Not the bees! Not the bees!!”

Nice try government/terrorist agency. You won’t find out my weaknesses so easily!
