100% of people who drink water die.

Vaccines BAD! so I believe anything bad I hear about vaccines!

They’ve… changed. Another friend of ours have noticed it as well and has been distancing himself.

I don’t keep in constantly contact with them these days, but I’ll play games with them at times but I share zero information with them. Seems like I am opening myself up for a lecture.

Sometimes they’ll ask me what I had for dinner and I just reply with ‘Noooooooooope!’.

It feels like a trap when they ask me that, so I refuse to answer. Not great having to be on constant alert around friends.

I play a lot more with our mutual friend now, he is quite chill.

Yes, and it gets a bit much at times.

I think that sometimes it comes from good intentions, as in they think they are helping by suggesting a healthy way to live to me, but it is 100% unsolicited and comes across as condescending. This pair are the kind of vegans that give them a bad name and doing more damage than good. If I had questions and wanted advice, I’d ask. I don’t want to be talked down to.

I have nothing against vegans and veganism, it’s their choice, but they should also respect my choices and not try and guilt me into their way of life. They have told me before that I cannot like animals if I am not vegan.

They’ve sent me pages and pages of ‘information’ to me when I mentioned I was heading to bed early because I was tired. Oh! An opportunity for them to lecture me! And a lot of what they send me is never information that has been studied, peer reviewed and widely accepted. It’s always some some random YouTuber or blogger that echos their ideas and ideals.

So I have been getting bombarded with anti-vax topics from them as well as veganism.

They do also push organic on me, which I do somewhat agree is better for you, but also not everyone can afford to buy only organic food and products. Also, some modified crops are required to survive certain environments and without them I am sure many additional people would have starved by now without these crops.

I did some work at a major car manufacturer years ago and one of the staff told me after she saw how they made one of the cars she would NEVER drive that band again.

She worked in the IT department and she said they just glue the panels onto the inside of the doors.

Well… yes. This was in the 80’s and 90’s and it was a cheap little car and my car at the time was made the same way.

A metal door and the very thin panel on the inside was clipped and glued into place. The panel is literally nothing other than cosmetic trim and noise dampening. If it came off, nothing would happen.

It’s not like the wheels or outer panels were being glued on so her fears were not really founded on anything in my opinion. Just because she worked there doesn’t mean she has insight knowledge that made her an expert on whether someone should drive their cars or not.

This friend of mine used to work on site at Big Pharma.

He must know things.

Hell, I used to do work for them and other Big Pharma… they might have gotten to me and I never knew it.

Ah, I should explain. But correct, I shouldn’t really include that.

I mentioned the veganism bit because they try and lecture me on my eating habits in addition to lecturing me on vaccinations.

They’d often bring up diet while we game and then when Covid hit their comments flipped over to anti-vax.

I’ve got some vegan/anti-vax friends and they told me at the start of Covid that the vaccine has a 100% kill rate (based on the very early testing when it was apparently given to very ill people, on their deathbeds). Zero evidence that the vaccines were the cause.

Don’t take the vaccine! It will kill you.

4 or so years later and we are still waiting for literally billions of people to just drop dead, all those people that took the vaccine.

Any day now…

But really, if it killed 100% of people that quickly I’m sure we’d have seen it by now.

Nah, he gives me that creepy feeling.

He has that creep factor.

Not me, but I used to work a role at a company that provided IT services and hardware/support.

We had a team that sat right behind me, basically they supported customer accounts, and they got a new team leader/manager.

She came in on a Friday I believe and the rest of the team were out, Thursday night is party night so most people worked from home Friday.

The next week comes in, IT puts all her equipment on her desk, she isn’t there. The next day or so comes around and she isn’t there but her team is and someone else strolls over to chat. He mentions he heard they got a new lady boss, where is she?

I say she was in last week, I saw her.

“Is she a looker?”

… this bloody place. Asks nothing about her other than her looks.

Later that week IT comes along and collects her equipment, she had left in under a week. I have no idea what happened but that was the quickest I have seen someone leave and on average we had a very short staff turnover time.
