Why is your friend coming out as a trans woman the first example you give of a friend going off the deep end and becoming hyper obsessed with politics?
Nah man ive seen coworkers who spent this whole time in the office and caught covid multiple times become imbeciles no matter how good they were at the job. I've been home this whole time and I'm working with so many idiots.
@wintermute_oregon @const_void "I have friends who won’t leave their homes."
That's me. When I have to wear PPE in order to safely leave my home -- because everyone is huffing immunodysregulating, organ damaging plague at each other year-round -- it tends to make me not want to
I lost a lot of people to this too. They saw me as the enemy because I'm hardcore apolitical at this point as I want nothing to do with what the obsessors are obsessing about.
I notice your name says Oregon - are you in Oregon too? I'm in Portland and political discussions here are a headache that lead to shunning. People treat politics like its their religion.
