[The sun doesn't so much as rise as flick on with the sudden, glaring brightness of noon. Whatever time keeping device you have on you says its about 8:14am when this happens.

The power's back, but the time on your timekeeping device never really make sense with the position of the sun as it moves across the sky.]

Not the specific kind I'm referring to, I think.

Even acknowledging the existence of redpillers brings a small curse on your household.

You're the one who referred to them by name, so I'd have to think the larger curse is on you.

[gasp] You did this to me.

It was mostly unintentional!

When I get back to my room to find "wake up, sheeple", written in blood on the wall, I'll remember this moment.

Aren't you being a little over-dramatic, dear?

It will probably be something about ethics in video game journalism.

Is that better? I know what that's code for.

Of course! That way you can at least be sure that the haunting is from a legitimate anti-gynocentric spirit, and not just the ghost of a Facebook post created by your estranged second-cousin about chemtrails.

If you know my estranged family you'd know they're the same damn thing.

Extraordinarily spooky?

[a pause, then in an almost sincere tone,]

I'm sorry, dear.

Thanks. ...It's okay. Most of them are probably not redditors because that would involve knowing how to use parts of the internet that aren't Facebook.

Facebook's ability to trap certain kinds of people from ever leaving its unfathomable blue folds is both slightly unnerving, and arguably benevolent.

Just round 'em all up on bad relative island.

A place where they'll only be able to ask each other what the wi-fi password is? That's almost sisyphean.

Exactly. The baby boomer echo chamber.

Isn't that the name of new Jimmy Buffett tour?

[bursts out laughing] Shit.

[a brief moment of genuine happiness that he landed a joke that no one can ever know about]

Ah, that was a little mean. I'm sure many people that age have rich and varied tastes in music.

You are not, nor should you be.

Oh no, you found me out. I hope you can keep a secret.

I love secrets.

With your profession, I'd assume so— though now I can't recall if Anglicans actually have confession. But there's like to be more to it than just that instance.

I'm not cleared for it yet, but we do it. It's just not mandatory for anyone to confess, but it's a service we offer. [avoiding the other part? Or just not recognizing it?]

[hmmm]

That's more laid back than the Catholic model, which could be appealing to some.
