There's a big rise in, well, everyone asking everyone to do stuff.
People keep asking me to stand inside little circles, put things on my face, walk in specific directions, etc.
The more you acquiesce to silly stuff, the more it happens.

- throwaway_2009 5y agoI'm equating standing on little circles and walking in proscribed ways with docility, yes. They are not safety measures, they're some bizarre form of religious ritual / cargo cult like behaviour. Motorcycle riders don't wear little pin badges for good luck, tape toilet rolls to their knees, or simply look at and polish the bike, they wear real protective gear, practice evasive maneuvers, look for escape routes, etc. It's not at all "safe" to run around like a headless chicken panicking for years on end; it's a mental disorder. Intelligent people owe it to themselves and others to protect them from maladaptive thinking and help them to develop mechanisms for operating normally in society.
