No, you’re sincere. We need more of that.

Yeah, it needs more JPEG.

This is correct. I was just trying to be ironic. Sorry if I baited anyone.

Thanks for being kind to me and assuming the best. As it is, I was doing an ironic shtick in the same vein.

Hmm? I’m not familiar with that term. He just left me this bat with his friends’ signatures on it, and a few religious symbols. It’s pretty stained, but it’s got a lot of sentimental value. He didn’t say much except that he used it to teach Nazis a lesson by beating them…at the game of baseball. Always that pause near the end as grandma gave him a sharp look. She must have not wanted me to hear about his baseball stories.

“Hey, babe! New Hitler Youth merch just dropped!”

“They’re labeling themselves?”

“Yeah! They got race-supremecy friends and everything!”

“Let me grab my grampa’s bat. He beat so many Nazis with this…at the game of baseball of course.”

“Of course.”

Maybe. Further study is definitely needed.

Yeah, as long as it’s bloodborn.

I think vampirism being a bloodborn pathogen is the consensus.

“Do my job for me?”

“No.”

I think you’d have to at least have an open wound and come into contact with fresh blood since it’s a bloodborn pathogen.

Yeah, I think that’s how reservoirs work, but I’m not a public health expert.

It’s important to have a scarier, if less dangerous, boogie man when one endeavors to do terrible things to otherwise rational people.

Because we didn’t know what was going on. Reagan paved the way for Trump, and it goes back even further. This has been several decades in the making. Sorry if I’m preaching to the choir here. Thanks for entertaining my rant.

They wouldn’t directly. They’d have to be bitten by something else that acquires vampirism from them and transfers it to another host, like malaria.

Fair enough. I still feel like vampire bats might be a threat. Also, we don’t know what reservoirs harbor vampirism. Perhaps sparrows are carriers.

I would watch that.

This is headcannon now.
