When we landed here you said you needed a few days to get space worthy again and is there somethin' wrong with your bunk?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am available for consultation on the distinction. My conclusions cannot be challenged, it should be noted.
I want the side of my finger back. This is beyond pointless.

Hey Todd, how's your hair looking? I recall you were planning on trying something different.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, God. I read that story about the vegan idiots and that poor miserable little boy and now I'm sitting here shaking and trying not to cry and every single post since that one has been "Blah blah blah blah Jews for bacon blah blah please stay safe Allyson blah blah." I don't, I really don't understand. How could you do that to your baby? How could you have carried a child to term and be so utterly fucking ignorant of basic human nutrition and infant care? Wasn't there a doctor or a midwife or a grandparent or a someone involved somewhere? How could you live with yourself afterwards?
Gah, that baby. That child. So tiny and helpless and so bonded to his mother, and her not fucking doing the single fucking thing she needed to do to keep him in this world.
Just...despair. Bleah.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I don't, I really don't understand. How could you do that to your baby? How could you have carried a child to term and be so utterly fucking ignorant of basic human nutrition and infant care?
The only thing I can think of is maybe veganisim is extremely important to the two parents... maybe they think that veganism is the best solution to everything, and anyone who disagrees is part of the... military/industrial/animal-exploitation complex. I mean, maybe they were aware of basic nutrition and infant care, but rejected it as being hopelessly compromised by the evil non-vegan animal exploiting world view.
So, maybe just another example of when one's ideology becomes an all-encompassing world view that explains everything and transcends all conventional knowledge.
Just a guess....

I think it is that they were completely self centered, lazy, horrible people.
ETA that that sort of supreme fuckwittedness would likely drive away family and friends or any other witnesses to what was happening.
