Remind me not to say "bless you" if someone sneezes near me.

The appropriate modern response is "Cover your fucking mouth!" Then walk away whilst slowly shaking your head and say "Sheeez!"

While slathering your entire body in hand sanitizer.

It tastes better than you would think.

I'm totally opposed to responding to a sneeze with 'bless you', not just because of the ridiculousness of invoking a non-existent deity, but also because sneezing shouldn't be encouraged.

Say gesundheit.

That's still encouraging, and a bit superstitious. If I'm gonna say anything, it'll be more along the lines of 'stop that fucking sneezing please'.

Sneezing is involuntary.

Exactly why it should be discouraged.

Why isn't freedom of choice regarding sneezing part of any Libertarian manifesto? We're being forced to sneeze rather than leaving the choice to sneeze up to the individual or the invisible allergy of the market.

But the only thing they specifically say that he said was "Insh'Allah". I call shenanigans.

As a separate point, is the account name an attempt at anonymizing? By any chance, do you happen to go to 4chan or the like?

1111 was created today just for this post. My guess is the other numbers accounts don't have enough karma to make a post.

Planned Outage!

You know... Maybe it's a bit weird for me to be saying this, but have you considered going outside more often? Maybe getting a bit of fresh air and exercise?
