She’s not stupid, but prone to magical thinking. Which in our current environment of mass disinfo is just as damaging as being genuinely stupid sadly.

My granddaughter is in the same camp. Fully vaccinated for everything else you’d expect, but completely bought into the repackaged HPV vaccine hysteria that got grafted onto the Covid vaccines. So she’s had it 5 times, including one that she describes as ‘that time I almost died’.
Also, she’s a teacher. At a religious school that obviously doesn’t require that particular vaccine.
What the ever loving fuck is wrong with people.
I’ve had every recommended booster, got it from my dentist in July 2023 and spent a solid week in bed with what rivaled the worst flu I’d ever had. Actual flu, not “it’s just the flu, bro” bullshit.
This was followed by a month of a wet racking cough and very congested lungs. I have no idea how much the vaccines and boosters reduced the severity of lessened any long covid, but I got my booster last year (months later) and will be doing so again very soon this year.
Why the hell would anyone want this virus?
So many amazing ideas in Arcanum. Time to finally check out the various modernization patches and mods and give it a spin.
My first CRPG was also from a pawnshop! Though it was the original Wizardry in 1982 ;)
There is no war in Ba Sing SE after all…
Are you me?!?!
I’ve been evangelizing about that game to any gamer I meet, especially old sk00l Fallout fans since… I bought it in 2001 ;)
‘A good republican body, rrrrridled with phlebitis!’
It’s it weird that I still say ‘sorrey about your penis, bro’ whenever a lifted truck or overly aggressively driven sports car zooms by?
It’s such a painful choice. I can’t take in more pets, but I can’t stand to see one suffering.
The last true stray I adopted ended up giving me a litter of kittens before I could get her fixed, then ran away. Ever since all my pets (cats) have been from shelters.
To be fair I still feed opossums regardless.
The word you’re looking for is ‘apropos’.
Asking the important questions here.
So long as both sidesing brings in outrage clicks and views, they won’t.
Pretending that the latest monstrous and insane thing out of Trump’s hate hole is somehow breaking news is the same shit they’ve been playing since… forever.
Some of their own people (reporters) may get ground under the millstone, but that’s a price they’re willing to pay. Just the price of staying on top.
Not even the difficulty. Just the relentless pop-in of enemies. Endless and boring.
Yes, then I remember how much I dislike Ashlands…
Not beananas, ya hoser!
Sorrey I missed you question about her radicalization.
It stemmed from separation anxiety due to her mother working while she was young. Which metastasized into a hatred of women in the workforce. Ironic given how much she worked with men who viewed her as nothing more than a novelty, all while she crafted much of the modern GOP ethos.
I wasn’t aware there was one about her!
Most of my information, outside of my baseline knowledge of her anti-ERA shenanigans, is from some recent Behind the Bastards episodes about her.
One of the greatest political operatives of the 20th century, in terms of how widespread her horrifying legacy is. She only cosplayed as a frumpy housewife all while trying to lock the US an eternal fictionalized version of the 1950s.
To shreds you say?
