Sounds like psychological projection to me.Quote:

Read up a few .... you were bragging about your altruism. I never professed to be altruistic.Quote:

But if you were altruistic the world would hear about it - is your projection, not that you are altruistic.Quote:

I have contemplated getting a home Covid test kit just in case. With flu and cold season coming up, I'd hate to raise alarm over a more common infection, but would like to contact a doctor or medical expert if it's Covid. Even if the symptoms are not serious, it seems like it would be a good thing to know as soon as possible for any special precautions or treatments?Quote:

Isn't it interesting that to some heroes are always first responders or people in the military, or those who survived cancer or some other serious illness? What a narrow vision. It makes watching the local news a little annoying. Why isn't the civil rights activist or the anti-war protestor or the teacher who's not terminally ill or the woman standing out in public today in Kabul with a sign demanding her rights a hero?
And just because I don't want to donate to your pet charity doesn't mean squat. I am altruistic in other ways.
Here you go again surmising.Quote:
