I truly don't understand how you can be 33 and not know that jello shots typically contain alcohol, especially because they were probably expensive!

This may come as a surprise, but stupid does not discriminate by how old someone is.

You're right, I am often surprised by how some people have made it to 50-60 years old without a caretaker.

The really scary part is their vote counts as much as yours does.

Some of these people live in a surprisingly tiny bubble their entire lives. It's shocking if you ever meet and talk to one.
