I can see the logic of talking to the people who believe they will live forever, once you start wondering "what if people could actually live forever?"

>The car was making a turn. Something felt off—the steering wheel jerked one way, then the other, and the car decelerated in a way I didn’t expect. I turned the wheel to take over.…

The only case of public urination -> sex offender which people can point to is Juan Matamoros. He claims this, but the actual case is too old to verify it, and we should not take h…
