Haha yeah guys I totally have a story like this too… Don’t you just hate when girls flirt with you and you don’t realise it… I mean it happens to me all the time… Soo many girls are interested in me… Sobs
2-3 enemies are eliminated with actual stealth before declaring a defiant “fuck this” and the grenades start flying.
I really think you’re being inconsiderate. Advertisers lose $0.02 per non-performing word. Don’t you ever consider the shareholders???
People who believe in these types of theories usually want to feel part of a club or may just be gullible. Pulling up charts and figures likely will not help as they often dismiss it or change the theory. Listening to them and asking them why they feel that way and where they got the information can cause them to critically think about it and start to form the cracks in the theory. If you think you’re getting somewhere, maybe ask why vaccines and not another, more accessible form of medicine.
In this case, it sounds like the family doctor may be the source. Clarify exactly what this doctor said and what they would prescribe instead of a vaccine. It may be something homeopathic or a scam, or something else indicating the doctor is spreading a vaccine lie for their own gain.
If you’re getting nowhere, consider if this family member has a history of mental illness. Some disorders make people prone to skepticism and a general mistrust of the world, or cause magical thinking. Schizophrenia, bipolar (manic episodes), and OCD can sometimes be hard to spot.
Unfortunately, it could also be something ego-centered, and being “in” on a theory forms a core part of their identity, separating them from the “sheep”. They could be unempathetic to the idea of their actions spreading disease, or annoyed at the idea they have to take action to protect themselves. Based on the number of emotional responses in this thread and the general advice to block them or call them names, this is, sadly, a very likely cause. In this case, the best thing you can do is protect yourself by getting the vaccine that they won’t and limit physical contact. It’s a very sad reality that this line of selfish thinking has become extremely prevalent since COVID. I also had a vaccine skeptic family member who only gave it up once they caught COVID. They were lucky; take a look at r/DarwinAward to see the damage vaccine denialism causes.
Stay safe OP. I hope there is light for your family member.
2·9 months agoSaved, thanks for sharing. I just learned how geologists date rocks 😎
2·9 months agoNow that’s a job of the future - commandeering a Boeing AH-64E Apache to pulverise several thousand tonnes of fish trapped in a trawling net. Isn’t nature beautiful?
6·9 months agoWe had the best phone calls, it’s true. They were really great. So great. Everybody is saying it - I’m not saying it, everybody here is saying it. But I said it when I made the call, I said, “What a great call”, it really was. We had a horrible administration that couldn’t make any deals, just horrible, they were the worst. The Biden crime family couldn’t make the deals I make, you wouldn’t believe, it’s true. This guy knows it, right?
Imagine getting a job at SpaceX thinking you’re gonna build a moon base and you get put on ‘Elon distraction’ 😭
7·9 months agoPlease do, California. I want to visit again and I’m not looking to get sent to El Salvador on arrival lol
It’s not as good as it used to be, but I still find it comfortable to watch. I like the black hole and space stuff, like what terraforming a planet would look like, but yeah they definitely have some fluff videos. Unfortunately clickbait titles like THE WORLD MAY DIE is just YouTube 101, seems baked into every channel now. Very hard to find a channel that feels organic.
I’m letting the rage boil until I can no longer fight the urges to commit heinous atrocities 😎
Relatable. I’ve accepted I may never fall in love again.
It turns out, WE were the real deep state all along!
Oh man, this is utterly hilarious. Narrowly funnier than the guy who vibe coded and the AI said “I completely disregarded your safeguards, pushed broken code to production, and destroyed valuable data. This is the worst case scenario.”
