This happened a while ago. A guy started a war half way across the globe and caused major problems for himself and most of the worlds population. He tried to pretend he won that war, but he didn’t. Starting a war for no reason, or worse, to deflect from some embarrassing crimes he committed, is the dumbest thing I have ever heard.
I had a community college psychology professor who worked in psychiatric research outside of teaching ask the class, “What is the shape of consciousness? What do you think it is?” He put a clever look on his face and his eyes scanned every perplexed student in the room to see if anyone could produce the simple, obvious answer to the question, “What is the shape of consciousness …”
Finally he broke the suspense and enlightened us all. The shape of consciousness, according to a man who holds a license to practice medicine, is an oval. It’s an oval because you have two eyes and therefore your field of vision is elliptical.
This guy is either a Gene Ray or a Jaden Smith follower.
some people still believe in the moon landing is faked, subsequently any of the news that reported on spaceflight. i know some asian people that believe this sitll.

Whatever Donny tweeted most recently.
Just now…
“I hear what you’re saying, but have you considered losing your convictions and compromising your principles?”
— average politician
In a leftist bookstore, talking with the proprietor who has an extensive collection of left-wing labor/union literature, and randomly he starts talking about how Lincoln was the worst president etc. and just launches into lost cause mythology of the Confederacy. Hardest conversational 180 I’ve ever experienced
Politicans think about their voters.
A coworker got drunk at an office party, telling me "Then I can’t drive, so when I ask Caroline from marketing to drive me home, she can’t say no. wink, wink
When that predictably failed, he drove home drunk.That’s some Dennis Reynolds type shit
dennis would slash her tires first. something JESSE watters did hes the IRL dennis reynolds, hes the fox talking head that slashed a female co-workers car tires in order so that the woman would have the only option to ride with the creep home.
Because of the implications
“I dont know. You’re the engineer, engineer it” told to me by my boss when I presented the budget for the testing was not adequate for what we wanted and I presented 3 alternatives that were within the buget with their pros and cons asking how we should proceed. The boss in question was not an engineer but a HR manager with an MBA
And thus shouldn’t have been making command decisions in an engineering department. Did you inform whatever regulatory board?
It was a private company. I shared it with her boss and documented the witness but nothing came of it
Some old lady was over fir dinner and she asked me why i only eat certain things. I told her that i don’t eat meat. It took some time for her to compute and fired back: but you can eat fish. I said, no, because they are animals too. You could see the gears spinning again before she said that banger: i don’t think that’s true, because they don’t even bleed.
Whatever I said yesterday.
“If democrats want to make the vaccine free because it’s ‘life saving’, why come they don’t want to make cancer treatment free too???”
This is genuinely incomprehensible.
I may have embellished a bit for my own amusement
One of my jobs I was working next to an older man who didn’t believe in climate change because “they told us dinosaurs had scales and now they’re saying they have feathers!” He also once told me to fix an electrical component by “spraying WD40 on it” as if the electrons just needed some lubrication before they’d start moving again.
Both of those incidents helped me to realize who not to go to for help with that job and shortly afterwards he was let go after having an entire week with no work completed.
Sooooo WD stands for Water Displacer. It isn’t a lubricant, it’s more of a cleaning agent. It was originally developed to keep Atlas rockets from rusting. WD-40 might fix an electrical component by floating off any water-based electrolyte that might be shorting something out.
Fair enough, that being said the problem in question was with a solenoid where the coil has broken insulation allowing a short to ground. He was instructing me to shoot a bunch of WD-40 into the solenoid housing with the core and spring where there were no electronics.
Okay yeah that’s a little dumb. I could maybe see using WD-40 to free up a solenoid that was mechanically stuck but broken insulation says to me replace the part.
Yeah that’s exactly the reason I was so baffled by his instructions. I just stared at him and said “but this isn’t a mechanical issue, it’s an electrical issue” “oh well that’s what I do most of the time and usually it works”
Seeing first hand how he couldn’t diagnose a basic issue like that and how he just trusted some catch all solution to fix his problems (for that particular part) really connected the dots to why exactly he seemingly didn’t trust scientists or the scientific process at all.
Reminds me of the advice you see in classic Macintosh circles; they’ll tell you to stick the motherboard in the dishwasher to wash off leaky capacitor sauce.
My father told me I shouldn’t use regular table salt because “they” were mixing powdered glass in so that it would work its way through your system and embed itself in your heart muscles.
He had called me after I got high though, so I gave him the best kid glove treatment I’ve ever managed.
Told him that was very interesting. Explained that he could easily prove and expose the conspiracy by pouring salt into a bucket of distilled water. The salt would dissolve, but the glass would sink to the bottom. He could then filter the glass out, then boil the water off to recover the salt safely. He hasn’t brought it up since.
My dad is a sweet guy and good at handyman stuff, but dear lord, almost nothing higher level. I truly think it’s the lead exposure.
