Glass Houses

About 750,000 registered voters in SK gives you a good idea of how many adults there are in our province.
We have about 700 recorded drunk driving incidents per 100,000 people.
That's just the people who get caught in a year.

5,250 people, give or take, and probably well over double that in real life.

You or someone you've ridden with might have done it yourself once or twice.

I've got a friend that shares everything on social media. And it's all linked together. Whatever gets posted on instagram automatically gets uploaded to Facebook and Twitter and vice versa. Meals, romantic updates, where they are, who they're with and what's going on 24/7.
It's like we're camping together.

Then there's the Facebook Amazon. She's the one that hunts down her prey and then traps the poor bastard in a social media cage.
After deciding on a target, she sights him in and shoots him. Not a kill shot...just a tag. She tags him so other Facebook amazons can see. She'll continue to tag her prey with tranquilizers, subduing it with posts containing pictures of flowers, that she can show him later and ask why don't you send me flowers at work anymore, captioned "best bf evaarrr" and wistful “Pining away for Jordan…I just love you so much I can’t stand it!” posts.

When the quarry eventually gets worn down from getting hit by these posts, similar to Stockholm syndrome he breaks down and likes the posts and wham. He's liked enough posts to build a cage. And he feels safe in it. He went in on his own.

It's capture bonding.
Its a psychological phenomenon in which hostages express empathy and sympathy and have positive feelings toward their captors, sometimes to the point of defending and identifying with the captors.

Then she closes the door. Locking it up tight with the ultimate master lock. You can't get this one at Ukrainian Tire. It's the "IN A RELATIONSHIP" lock.
Then, and we've all seen it happen, the poor dumb animal realizes that it's being fed through a slot in the door and one day when she dresses him up and is walking him at an art gallery opening he makes a break for the door.
Then the Facebook Amazon sharpens the posts into spears and impales the head of her victim upon them...moving on to new prey.
