Last one only got 26 so I think I'm safe.
I can't stop him, but I'm making it clear that I'd rather it not happen. The whole act is pretty gross + could cause serious injury.
You make it clear that you'd enjoy watching this thing take place. Why do you want it to happen?
Morbid curiosity. Like watching a toddler stick a fork in a light socket.
If I know a heroin junky is going to take a hot shot I'm not gonna stand in the way. Same with this. At first I thought it was a joke. At this point the morbid curiosity has taken hold.
The heroin junkie asked for 27 public endorsements, after which he'd take a hot shot. You're actively supporting his project - not quite the same as 'not standing in the way'.
Seems I'm deficient in morbid curiosity - I tend to default to wanting others not to hurt themselves.
He wants to do it. Why shouldn't we accommodate him?
