But how do those details change anything about the core of the story? That's what I mean by the story beats being the same. Warbuck meeting her on the street vs. the secretary selecting her doesn't change the meat of the plot or the emotional truth of the story.

How is the storyline different? All the beats are there.

Masturbation isn't something that just *happens*. If you know you like to masturbate at night, and you know your sister likes to sleep with you, your choices are to forgo masturbating that night or tell your sister no. If you allow your sister to sleep beside you and masturbate, that is a planned activity. She knew…

Her sister asked to share the bed, but the 17 year old allowed it. Moreover, she was in a habit of making the sister beg and then always giving in, which ensured the sister would keep coming back. If she had no and stuck to it, the sister would have soon stopped asking.

Context matters. You're saying over and over again that you haven't read the book; you're only going off one detail of what other people had said...gee...why is everyone arguing with me? It's frankly tiresome and annoying and you need to either read the book and make an informed judgement or be quiet.

Warning for really sad story ahead...

I don't know...I'm more impressed with Cowboy Hat. If only everyone responded to douchebags with a hearty "You're not doing that shit, motherfucker."

So much this...and this particular song may well be the most annoying of the lot.

And if that had been your argument from the start, I actually wouldn't have taken issue. But your actual argument has been that the dog would bite, which isn't a concern because it is easy to quarantine and even interact with animals without risking that. That there's no way to dispose of waste without risk, which…

And yet we still routinely work with monkeys, and our own CDC decided *not* to euthanize a potentially infected dog.

But again, rabies is not the only zoonotic disease that veterinary workers face, and some of them *are* transmitted through waste or even airborne. Researchers who work with apes and monkeys have to deal with many diseases with a high transmission rate, some of which can be fatal. We do have the technology to deal…

The rabies vaccine is not effective once symptoms have been shown, and has a long, asymptomatic period that further complicates the issue. The animals we were working with were both un-vaccinated and symptomatic...there are places were such an animal would be immediately euthanized. Only one of them ever tested…

Except the little research about Ebola in dogs that exists at the moment came from observation and testing in the field, not lab animals.

The game also had the same storyline...and this point honestly I'm a touch bored with it. Yeah, yeah, eating people alive...yawn.

Except that walking around in her hometown with ebola is also incredibly dangerous for the country. Any person she came into contact with and infected could then board a plane themselves. They could be from out of town visiting and drive home three towns over and infect people along the entire path...with absolute…

If her mindset should have been better safe than sorry, than she should have quarantined herself for 21 days. That's the ONLY way to be 'safe' where ebola is concerned outside of going about her normal life while wearing a hazmat suit.

Putting blame in an individual person who has basically been screwed over by the CDC and her employer is a good way to come off as an ass, but that's not neither here nor there.

Obviously it's better to have the *infection* limited to one area, but by that standard it would also be a lot better to have the infection limited to her house, too. My point is you don't half-ass quarantine for something like ebola. If she was told she didn't need to quarantine herself, then criticizing her for…

But really, what's the difference between 'not locking herself up for 21 days' and flying? Either way, you're exposing all manner of people. Heck, at least the people who were on the flight can be alerted and tracked...the people she passed on the street not so much. If you don't expect her to have voluntarily…

I kind of felt like maybe the place used to be bigger and had a lot more people. Then the bad guys came and killed a bunch, and *some* of the survivors went crazy...but probably not all. Like maybe the ones who decided munching people was a good idea killed anyone who disagreed, even though they'd known them for…
