Le sigh.
@VeroniqueB99 I assume this is someone who is exclusively referred to by their proper name at all times?
@AlexanderVI 🀣 πŸ‘ good question...
@VeroniqueB99 "idk i bet your parents are siblings too"
@renardboy 🀣 πŸ‘

@renardboy @VeroniqueB99 third generation of siblings, most likely.

I mean, using an antiparasitic against viruses....

@renardboy My money says the reply will be

"No they're from Texas"

@VeroniqueB99

@VeroniqueB99 Americans are quite possibly the dumbest monkeys
@noplasticshower ...unfortunately, these days....
@VeroniqueB99 These people definitely have some adjectives.

@VeroniqueB99
@VeroniqueB99 Of course I have pronouns. Shall I address you as "it?"
@c_merriweather 🀣🀣🀣
@c_merriweather @VeroniqueB99 Want them to acknowledge pronouns are important...refer to god as 'her'.
@c_merriweather @VeroniqueB99 it is also a pronoun. Pronouns don't matter huh? So it's fine if I routinely misgender you?

@Huntn00 this is .... it makes me choke it pisses me off so much...🀬

@VeroniqueB99 People without pronouns,

who even are they?

@mrcopilot 🀣🀣🀣

@VeroniqueB99 @mrcopilot

Next time someone says something ignorant like that in your presence, mention that I and you and we are all pronouns. Everyone says "I". Everyone uses pronouns.

@CppGuy @mrcopilot ...yep... that's the best answer. Except, they don't know that. They will accuse you of lying or some other cocamimi theory regarding grammar...πŸ™„

@VeroniqueB99 @CppGuy @mrcopilot There was a thing doing the rounds of the Internet a few years ago saying something like "there are no pronouns in the US Constitution".

well, I suppose it depends on whether the preamble is considered part of the Constitution itself, but if it is, then its very. first. word. is. a pronoun. "WE the people..."

@Daveosaurus @CppGuy @mrcopilot 🀣 🀣 🀣 🀣 jfc these people!!
@VeroniqueB99 @CppGuy @mrcopilot
So... What do you think a pronoun is? I think this is a "communism" thing. Ask most people making wild statements what they mean by it and you get some floundering.
@econads @CppGuy @mrcopilot πŸ‘πŸ€£A LOT of floundering.

@VeroniqueB99

"thought process" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there.

@VeroniqueB99

I wish their enormous stupidity would only affect them, preferably by deleting themselves out of the gene-pool (darwin award). Unfortunately they insist on taking the good ones down with them, be it through drunk driving, unsecured weapons or as is now "en vogue" via biological warefare from these unvaccinated walking virus vectors while using propaganda/misinformation.

@VeroniqueB99 There are indeed some viral infections where antibiotics are being used. However, they're not used against the virus itself but against secondary infections, which are bacterial. Influenca-related infections (including Covid), for instance, may quite often lead to pneumonia; a physician would then, of course, administer an antibiotic - against the bacteria causing the pneumonia, not against the Virus.

But I think that this is not taught in homeschool. πŸ™„

@VeroniqueB99

We're not gonna make it are we?

@tabernac don't see how...πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

@VeroniqueB99

Probably for the best πŸ˜•

@tabernac πŸ‘ fair ...
@VeroniqueB99 @mekki You cannot debate with stupid
@SuperSpaceFan @mekki you can't do much with stupid apparently other than elect a criminal.

@VeroniqueB99

Natural selection works on us all. The disadvantage of being a medical myth loving nincompoop is probably measurable.

@dpfyhrie then let's. If anything it'll make us feel better...
@VeroniqueB99 please tell me the next part of the conversation was something along the lines of "my pronouns are Dr., M.D."
@Daveosaurus πŸ€£πŸ€£πŸ€£πŸ‘
@VeroniqueB99 #AltTxt I was teaching my friend's daughter that antibiotics don't work on viruses. Someone next to us said ivermectin works. I politely informed them that it doesn't and they proceeded to tell me it works on cancer. I proceeded to tell them that I am a doctor with degrees in cellular physiology and public health and that ivermectin does not do this. Their response? "I bet you have pronouns, too." This is the though process we are dealing with.
@rothko πŸ™ tysm
@VeroniqueB99 wanted to share this but realised it has no #AltText
@carbsrule_en How bout you send it to me and be part of the solution rather than whine about the problem? Also it's there now.
@VeroniqueB99 heard someone like that say β€œyou sound vaccinated” πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

@luke

I heard that too... same book, same chapter.

@VeroniqueB99 you can’t argue with an idiot who knows they are right.

@VeroniqueB99 This specific example seems to me an example of one of several broad problems in many modern, highly developed societies in which a lot of people are generally comfortable. Specifically, childish immaturity in legal adults. It's not only cringe-worthy, but actually dangerous. There is a reason we don't let children vote: They often don't have good judgement. Adults who function forensically like children are dangerous voters.
@wesdym πŸ‘
I blame those voters 100% for putting us here.πŸ’―

@VeroniqueB99 As do I. In any democracy, the 'deimos' (people) are ultimately responsible for everything. 'Government' is easy to blame, but in a democracy, 'government' is US. Their failings are ours, and only we can fix them. Same with 'media': They're just running a business; we don't HAVE to pay them, but we do, so we're to blame for that, too: They suck because WE suck.

If we want better government, media, and society, we need to be BETTER PEOPLE.
