> [@Roderick\_Femm](#): > > Those tropes are so old and worn out, it’s even more insulting that they expect anyone to still fall for them. There’s no school like old school - they presumably still work or they wouldn’t be using them. Particularly in the world of social media where the incremental cost of sending a message to someone is basically $0.0000001, you’re going to find someone who hasn’t seen it before who also has a poor BS detector. ---

As to the Wichita truck vs soccer incident, we now have a neutral thread on topic: > [@Wichita, KS 10/17/26: Woman drives vehicle through soccer complex, at least 2 dead](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/wichita-ks-10-17-26-woman-drives-vehicle-through-soccer-complex-at-least-2-dead/1033931): > > The woman was 34 years old and had 2 kids in the car, and I’m personally thinking she had some kind of medical episode, most likely a seizure.

This could also go in the Stupid MFs thread, but I think it fits better here. [Florida man rolls his car at 4 am, then tries to evade cops by running into a swamp](https://www.newsnationnow.com/crime/lakeland-dui-suspect-drops-toddler/). Nothing unusual there, you say? Well, he was also carrying his 2 year and 10 month old children, one under each arm. He dropped the older one and decided to leave him in the swamp while holding on to the younger one, although he repeatedly fell down while attempting to run. The reporter politely notes that, once taken into custody, the man “allegedly showed signs of impairment”. The children were treated at a hospital and released; Dad was taken to jail and seems unlikely to be released for some time. ---

You notice how, despite being in this racket for at least 9 years, Mackenzie himself somehow never starved? I can at least have a little respect for the cult leaders who drank their own kool-aid.
