What he wants to know is whether all we zombies exist, or whether we are all figments of his deluded imagination. Well that’s where he fell short, then. One cannot properly grapple with the void without first entertaining the possibility that oneself might actually _be_ the void, and that it is only that which lies beyond that can be properly said to exist. Put another way, Descartes was unwarranted in his famous conclusion. ---

Hmm - new watch list candidate: **edwin\_klockars**. 2020 signup, 1 hr read time, 15 topics viewed. And this: _6 topics created, 3 posts created_. Currently asking _Can DNA prove my relation to deceased grandparent?_ over in GQ. He was also the one behind the weird (now closed) thread about _I have a crazy true personal story about a billion dollar business…what is the best medium to tell it?_ in IMHO; which - ah - drew a certain amount of skepticism. j ---

Catfish guy thinks Derek Chauvin was tugging one off while killing George Floyd, and he wants you to know about it - so much, that he posted about it four times. He got one taker but I’ll bet was hoping for more reactions. It even has shades of the paper towel “experiment” to prove he’s right: > Watch the muscles in his forearm. Now, try to replicate that movement with your hand in your pocket. Starting at post 37 in the **Minnesota trial of Derek Chauvin** thread. ---

Apparently @hajario has decided they want to start trolling. In a thread that’s literally about how people will harass people who are doing their best to get shots, they have the audacity to post this nonsense: > [@Get off my dick about not getting a vaccine yet (not anti-VAXX)](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/get-off-my-dick-about-not-getting-a-vaccine-yet-not-anti-vaxx/939471/60): > > There is no need, at this time, for your histrionics. You don’t need to take a day off of work to drive for five hours. A single line which is shitty, but could just be a brainfart in a bit of frustration, but then, while I was writing this, they decided to up the ante: > [@Get off my dick about not getting a vaccine yet (not anti-VAXX)](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/get-off-my-dick-about-not-getting-a-vaccine-yet-not-anti-vaxx/939471/62): > > You just don’t want a vaccine that bad. The criteria for CVS will change at midnight. Try in several hours. Or just put whatever into their questions. You’ll be right with a vaccine after today. > > Try Costco. What’s wrong with them? > > Your hardon against Kaiser is probably well founded but just manage your PTSD and get it done. So not only are they doing the very thing the OP of that thread is about, saying that anyone who doesn’t do things the way they think “doesn’t really care,” but they think the poster has PTSD and are telling someone with a mental illness to just get over it. To be that brazen, to harass someone in a thread about that exact form of harassment? Pretty obvious trolling. Fuck that shit. ---

Stranger on a train is a bit of a pompous fuck and contempt-aholic. I don’t think he actually has PTSD. Hajario was probably just joking about whatever made Stranger put Kaiser on his hate list. ---

I think the PTSD part was just a dumb joke about Stranger being pissed off with Kaiser after a bad experience with them. But that post was just oddly aggressive, I didn’t get where it was coming from at all. ---

I saw nothing out of line in Stranger’s post. Had that been me, I’d probably have been less measured in tone. ---
