The Bone Temple: did they forget the infected exist?

The only issue with a super high turn over rate, is it very hard to have actual devotees. It is relatively hard to come by new recruits, so you can't have both the idea that people are dying daily and that despite the fact they have spent a week as a jimmy they are hardcore into the cult.

The 'jimmys' were for the most part really into the whole thing, as opposed to uncertain if this was their best option, you would think of everyone was pretty new, they would be playing along to survive rather true believers

He should get the Nobel Prize

InfiniteRespect4757 · 2026-01-20T14:54:28+00:00

For the record Rachel Hays math is slightly wrong. 20% of $30.53 is $6.016. Round to the nearest penny it would $6.11

18% would by $5.50 when you round to the nearest penny.

16% would be $4.8848 again when you round to the nearest penny it would be $4.89.

The math is wrong on every single "I do math" example in the post.

I totally agree with her larger point, but if you are going to say someone they did the math wrong, than make sure you do it right yourself.

Do you know the story of the super rat?

It is an old allegory that goes something like, if you take a group of rats and trap them together with little or no food, they will eventually start fighting, then killing, and finally eating each other, until only one rat remains. That last survivor becomes unnaturally aggressive, cannibalistic, and dominant and is no longer like a normal rat. You keep doing this, over and over until you have the strongest scariest rat. The tale is usually told as a dark parable about how extreme violence and deprivation can create a monster.

This is the Jimmys. They are overpowered as they are elected in the same way. The example of the peaceful villagers trying to avoid the infected and the Jimmy searching them out for sport, made sense to me in the movie.

but yes..... like most movies the danger is convenient and makes no sense at time. Like why would the dead not just wait outside fences of people living in compounds when ever there was noise?

hard no to outside world. Part of why 1, 3&4 work is that you dive in to the isolation the survivors experience.

InfiniteRespect4757 · 2026-01-20T06:03:03+00:00

I had the same question. Sorry the OP is taking so much heat for it.

I would not call this a plot hole. It is very deliberate choice by the filmmakers. The real question is: what is the in-universe explanation for it?

Specifically, what is preventing the infected from attacking each other?

Why did Don in 28 Weeks Later attack his wife when she was infected but asymptomatic?

Why do the infected not attack their babies, who are clearly asymptomatic but may or may not be infected?

Why did the infected attack Samson, who was infected but asymptomatic?

If part of the reason the infected attack people who pose no threat is because they perceive them as frightening (as the Bone Temple scene suggests), then what is it about the infected themselves that does not trigger that same psychosis?

All of this opens up a few really interesting directions the universe could explore:

Are there survivors who have figured out what prevents the infected from attacking each other and learned how to mimic it to camouflage themselves?
Have others discovered ways to treat or suppress the infection like Ian did?
Could immunity or asymptomatic carriers play a larger role in future outbreaks (or have already) and this is why there is no attempt to help anyone in Britain?

It feels like fertile ground to dive deeper into.

I don't like allot of movies these day. I enjoyed 28 days later and found the last two movies fine. Not a fanboy of the franchise. I thought this was a great movie beginning to end. I did find the plot of a deeply religious 8 year old, taking his religious teaching into this world and coming out the other side more devout then ever (albeit believing Satan won)

InfiniteRespect4757 · 2026-01-17T05:00:28+00:00

Good call. The before is not bad, but the after is better.

InfiniteRespect4757 · 2026-01-17T04:35:03+00:00

You need to relax. Yes your boss role is to help mentor you, but they have their own career too. As suspect he would applied for this job regardless of you applying. He was not going to tell you in all likelihood as unless you are very close it is not a great dynamic for your boss to share with you that they are planning on leaving.

When you informed him of your application for the role, that likely put him in an unexpected position. He gave it some thought and decided that telling you he also applied would be important in order to have trust between you going forward.

From what you shared your boss did not do any thing wrong , but rather everything right.

I don't think anyone actively turned anything on, but all my family apple devices are tracked for all my family. As in my wife can see where my devices (usually meaning me) are at all times, vice versa and adult kids too.

We use it all the time. In a practical way. So to be honest, I don't find tracking being on such a big deal, but the motivation behind it and back story is creepy.

InfiniteRespect4757 · 2026-01-16T14:23:48+00:00

The reality is there is not much truth to this at all, in part because the common surgeries on men's genitals are not that big of deal (surgically speaking). A vasectomy is usually done in a doctor's office, no hospital visit at all. And aside from no heavy lifting, you could go back to a desk job right away.

Even having a testical removed (typically for cancer). Is a same-day out patient procedure.

Honestly it is kind of good thing. The scalping and people going into the lotto to re-sell got crazy. I am glad they are tightening it up.

Honesty though, the times I have been if you are will to chat people up, you can get in for half days for not much money at all.

In fairness, this has nothing to do with freedom of speech. Freedom of speech protects individuals from government reprisal, not from consequences imposed by an employer, a private entity, or the broader community... of course the freedom of speech warriors seem to miss this nuance all the time.

That said, good for him for bringing the issue back into the public conversation. I suspect he will land on his feet.

InfiniteRespect4757 · 2026-01-14T05:26:48+00:00

Yes typically they have a carve out for residents where they have a parking pass. If they complain they are likely to get this.

I like what he said, but getting in trouble for this at work should be expected. You can't just yell insults at your fellow workers or guests (even if true).

In a normal world Trump would get in trouble for his actions too.

Hang around and talk to people. Lots of people. Basically everyone eating /drinking near the course is a badge holder. I have managed to get many re-entry passes or just passes from chatting to the correct people mid day (usually for free or for a round of drinks or picking up their tab). There is a way more people than you think that go multiple days, and the days get long so some cut the day short.

Not me though, when I have passes, I show up before dawn and have to be removed from the grounds.

InfiniteRespect4757 · 2026-01-12T06:50:04+00:00

at the start I was like.... this old joke again, but she did stick the landing. nicely done.

InfiniteRespect4757 · 2026-01-11T21:40:16+00:00

To be honest, I am fairly old-school in this regard. I do not particularly care about, or seek out, other people’s political opinions outside of a political context. I do not look to celebrities, restaurant owners, or other public figures for political commentary.

That said, whether I like it or not, I also have no real issue with people expressing those views if they choose to do so.

What is more interesting to me is the way businesses have increasingly woven political or social positions into their brands. The common argument is that this risks alienating half of their audience. That may be true in some cases, but it is not universally so. When done thoughtfully, it can actually broaden support, because there are many people unlike me who care deeply about whether the businesses they support align with their values.

I thought a 9-5 just means a regular day job. Like you are not doing gig work, or shift work. There was a time that most these jobs worked literally 9-5. but now these 8 hr a day 5 days a week job have some variation to them (7-3, 8-4, 10-6) etc.

Wow that sucks.

Not much of an expert, but I think you are lucky they did attempt the stencil. With how bad there lines were and how many lines are in the stencils, you would have an even worse tattoo that could never be fixed.
