The parallels between this dumpster fire and grammar school are getting closer and closer together. Think of the dweeb who was never picked for sports games suddenly getting a chance to run things. Bill Gates anyone? Ha!
Time for one of my favorite quotes, that I Tweeted a few days back...
"[Force] is contrary to the nature of the intellect... If he who employs coercion against me could mold me to his purposes by argument, no doubt, he would. He pretends to punish me because his argument is strong; but he really punishes me because he is weak." ~ William Godwin
This is brilliant! My brother-in-law is punishing me and my husband for not getting vaxxed by not seeing us. He wants an argument, but we just said we’re fine with not seeing you or the rest of the family. Enjoy your lives! Boy, did that piss him off! He wanted us to argue, fight, and allow him to be the dweeb with power that he’s become…but we didn’t take the bait.
I am part of a local community organization that beginning this month moved to a location where the landlord requires masking (even though no local regulation so requires.) I told my group no thanks, please contact me if that requirement is dropped but until then, consider my membership inactive.
I don't know if anyone else similarly will boycott the group, but at least initially, my ego hopes I'll be missed. In any case, sometimes refusing to participate sends a message, too. I'll miss the people in the group, but I'll let the sheep enjoy themselves without me.
My sister also! We had a big party for my mom turning 95. She assumes I am not vaccinated (I actually got the j&j back in April) but she never asked, so I am having fun just letting her think I am not. Daughter (30s) is NOT- and I am supporting that fully. She doesn't need to be. Sister would NOT come near us at the party, wore her mask and when we got within a few feet of her, her eyes would get really big and she would bak up. SO much theater. Yes, she wanted us to engage, but she was too chicken shit to start the conversation. I am ok not talking to her. She has not liked me since middle school. As an adult I have tried to be a good sister by doing "sisterly" things for and with her. Never reciprocated. This virus crap brought out the real her. It's fun to watch them slowly be wrong about everything she thinks she is/was "right" about.
Her fear was palpable. She will need counselling as do many others. They are the ones who connected case = death. All created by the press, first to dump a President, they for clicks.
Isn’t it amazing what this virus has brought to light about our government, friends and family? At first I found it depressing and attacked. Now I’m so thankful for the light to have been shone on family who truly don’t care and have distinctly different values; people in our government who hate the U.S. and are only in the game of life for money and power; and friends who I consider to be brilliant that are completely driven by fear. I truly pity those that live in fear and reject their family members. We can’t stop loving our family, and lose our commitment to be there for them if a need arises, but nobody ever said we had to like them or spend time with them. Toxic family/people should be avoided at all costs!
Okay, I have to share one story. Prolly a decade or so back, I was in a record store, browsing the "cut-out" bin. (That's where the CDs that no one wanted are sold for ultra cheap, in case that is unclear.) There was a stack of CDs with Gates on the front cover. The title was something like, "The Shape of the Future" or some such. There were a TON of them, regularly-priced at $25+, being sold for maybe $2, IIRC. They were not hot sellers, apparently! Fast forward, and this guy is now chatting with Pfauci about vaccine policy and helping advise (my own recently-deposed) Emperor Cuomo on policy for re-opening NY. Delusions of grandeur coming to full flower, at our expense.
I love the throwback "dweeb". So very 80's. High five lady. Who knew it was going to be so easy to get out of family obligation? I guess you got the good brother. I did too.
amateur?

Silence speaks volumes when used correctly!

Glad to hear it, just have to put your foot down and say no! I have no doubt you will reconvene at some point, just not today....hang in there!

yes!
Tell him to prove to you that this is the same type of vaccine that we've been using for centuries since 1796...otherwise, it's a fake vaccine.
OH yeah!!!!!!!

As the guy who brought us Windows 95, Gates must think the vax works pretty well. Just reboot when it crashes.
