All Covid-19 measures are permanent, don't be a boiling frog!

Exactly, you hit the nail on the head there 👍

That's going to confuse them altogether lol

They'll need to do an arts degree and possibly philosophy too to understand what you presented...

They'll only tell you that you're dodging the questions again and say that's why you're not being taken seriously along with more pointless waffling.

They'll also plead with you to answer it the way they want you to, which is a very narcissistic trait. They call it crazy making, but they're the crazy ones.

Keep asking them difficult question and they'll keep coming back with the same response...

But Timber I'm not a conspiracy theorist.

I've no theory that there's a conspiracy, but I can see how people can see a scenario and could suggest that there's an alterior motive going on. We're not all NPC's

That's all conspiracy, I had a look at a telegram group and if I was to believe it I'd be building a hideout somewhere and preparing myself for living off the grid and end up looking like a wild man.

There's a lot of people who are wired differently and I think I mentioned before that people can be prone to pareidolia. It's not personal it's just they see things differently.

They can function well in society and come from all backgrounds, but there's that glitch that happened or chemical imbalance that they are unaware of. I know professor's who believe in all kinds of mad stuff, but they keep that out of the lecture theatre.

I know you don't like me bringing up the fact that I know this person and that person but it's just an example and it's how I process things through observing people.

Sure I know a nurse who believes that there's spirits all over her house and the dogs can see them. But she's a grea nurse and neighbour.

You don't believe in the conspirators, you're not worried about them either.

I suppose I'm empathic towards people who thinks differently and I'm not saying that don't like them or think they're crazy. I just try to figure out where the conspiracy comes from, why they concluded said conspiracy is true and try to talk about it rather than ridicule them or their mindset.

Sorry for the rant, and I'm aware I go off on tangents

Well they do turn into a free for all, it's probably easier to discuss something without using the words crazy, delusional and anything that judge's the poster rather than the post.

That's why I went off the rails in the discussion. I am dissapointed with my rants etc but I am willing to discuss anything without getting overwhelmed or triggered lol is that the word triggered 🤣

It's easy to give a straight answer when there's an easy question asked, that's true.

I don't think people are crying when they're called out, I just think they're annoyed by the way they are being called out.

There's different ways to call people out, sometimes an old school "for f sake will you snap out of it and cop yourself on" will work for some and for others it's like a red rag to a bull.

I myself find it hard discussing social justice with leftists and social justice warriors, because they're emotional and shout you down.

Or if I'm discussing something with a far right extremist or old school skinhead they'll get very hateful and the neanderthal and knuckle dragging comes out.

That's been dealt with by the moderator's. So you can take your accusations up with the moderator's and they'll see fit as to where the discussion stands.

Who's the us you're referring to ?

I think the charter say's something about not dropping links to make points.

Your call mate.
