It's somewhat specific to someone with my type of background; namely growing up in a family of young-Earth creationist, fundamentalist Christians, and learning that things like science and evolution are lies from Satan.

At some point curiosity got the better of me and I realized I didn't even know what evolution even is, so I read up a bit about it. Then a bit more. You know, this actually kind of makes sense. Eventually the rabbit hole led to the existence of God. I remember watching a bunch of debates and expecting the most learned representatives of our Christian tradition to make some really great arguments. And... they... never... did.

Well that's ... descriptive.

I mean, I wouldn't call riding a motorcycle "safe".

I'm not even arguing against them, it just feels like calling it "safe" makes it easy to dismiss all the safety precautions you should take and safety gear you should use whenever you do ride one.

Hmm, I have a taste that I associate with pain, but I don't think it's seafood. I don't eat a lot of seafood though, doesn't suit well with me.

Imagining scenario's in an attempt to prepare for them.

Successfully! I remember reading about research into how folks survive scenarios, and having thought about it ahead of time was one of the big ones.
