(tw i guess) Just had a very interesting conversation with someone who seemed otherwise smart and friendly. He genuinely believes that people are choosing to be trans for attention.... without having ever talked to a trans person himself. Also legitimately believes that the government is ruled by lizard people, and that covid just never existed(???).
Apparently for some people, when "none of the mainstream media is willing to tell you this," that makes the information more credible to them. Bizarre.
Unlikely things to hear at a baptism
I thought covid was caused by 5G towers and the vaccine contained nanobots. But apparently now it never existed. I hope I still have nanobots in my blood, I would hate to think that I had a sore arm for nothing.
Also he's right about the lizard people.
One of my coworkers believes the nanobots thing. He was talking in the lunch room really loud about how you can tell if someone had the vaccine because they give off radio signals in the same bands as Bluetooth and WiFi. So he walks over to me with his phone out and goes: You've had the vaccine, you're giving off Bluetooth radio radiation.
So I take our my bluetooth headphones and say pardon me? 🤦
