Count yourself lucky that you don't have to live with 'em.
I am literally the only member of my immediate family who isn't an insane mask Nazi. And I get NO sympathy for medical exceptions. I nearly keeled over in the middle of a store because of a panic attack thanks to the damned masks obstructing my airways, and when I went to see a doctor my heart rate jumped a good 30 BPM when I had to wear a mask more than 20 minutes.
But I've had nearly a half-dozen screaming matches with my mother who insisted that I wear masks for hours on end during church services. My father informed me that I'd be excluded from family Christmas unless I wore one for hours. I tried to share a meal with my brother, but he refused to eat and just stared at me across the table with a mask on the whole time. And I'm getting lectured about how I have to train myself to wear masks for 8 hours when trying for an entire year only expanded from 90 seconds to 10 minutes without panic attacks.
My own family insists that I torture myself and destroy my own health because they're afraid of getting the coof.
You're not alone in getting it. Pressured into it in my case.
I still wish that I'd stood firm; it's not easy when you've had over a year of screaming arguments with the family members that I'm financially dependent on. (Thanks a fucking lot, lockdowns and then requiring masks that I literally can't wear without panic attacks to get a fucking job.)
I just wanted my mother to stop treating me like I was going to give her the Black Death.
Not realizing how many people are necessary for the ruling-over-the-rabble lifestyle that they want so much.
I suspect that reality is that they just can't stand that there are people out there who refuse to obey them. They're rich enough to buy almost anything they want, but they can't buy absolute power, and that gnaws at them.
Can confirm. Experience. Therapy helped break me out of the worst of it. Still traumatized. Pedos need to die gruesome deaths.
One word as to why this is: Money.
Take what victory we can and then come back ten times harder for the next one.
Never, EVER rest on our laurels.
The problem being that 'jobs' require masks where I live.
And I not only can't, but won't wear a face diaper.
Needless to say, this is a source of much frustration.
I admit that this is me showing my extreme ignorance.
Is there anything stopping us from making our own ammo?
"He never tried to declare martial law and that’s what needed to be done."
And got himself arrested in the process by a treasonous military, who already said that they were going to do just that if he tried.
Which I already pointed out.
The fact that you're throwing your whiny little tantrum about Trump instead of everyone who backstabbed him shows that you're either a shill or just incredibly easily manipulated.
"Why wouldn’t he at least try?"
He did. Not his fault that he was surrounded by traitors. Or did you not see the repeated refusals to obey the invocation of the IA?
Why aren't you angry at them?
Or are you just a shill?
"Not true."
Prove it, armchair general.
No, he really couldn't have; the military had turned against him. If he'd tried, the traitorous generals and their toadies would have arrested him or worse before word could have even gotten out to the rest of us.
Stop being a whiner and start preparing for what happens next.
Depends on the definition of forgiveness that you use.
Forgiveness in one definition means essentially to choose to not get even. To not take personal revenge on your enemy, even if you could.
That doesn't mean that we should allow sins to continue, nor does it mean that crimes shouldn't be punished. But not because of personal vengeance, but for the good of society and the good of others.
But it also means turning eternal judgement over to God and not to try to take God's judgement for ourselves.
Ooo, lookit the ikkle widdle edgelord. How cute; he thinks he's witty.
LOL.
I know, right? The interactions between the Jedi and Sith Codes have so much potential for good storytelling and compelling characters.
Instead we get this woke shit.
They could have just made a hermaphroditic species. But no, they had to be woke.
Moderna.
Side effects were chills, shakes, aches, headaches, fever. It was like having a bad flu, except without any kind of respiratory problems. It lasted 12 hours, but when I forced myself out of bed, took some generic Aleve, and had a good meal it rapidly started getting better.
I feel perfectly fine now, or at least no different than I did before.
I got jabbed so I'd be allowed to visit my grandparents again.
Pleh; wish I hadn't. It was fucking awful.
But at least the people who screamed at me all year about how scared they were that the coof would somehow travel across an entire room and into my unmasked face and then into their masked face hours later suffered even worse from the side effects than I did.
In that case, we are on the same page.
We need to be aware that the enemy will attempt to plant spies and agent provocateurs, but using that as an excuse to not meet up at all is just playing into their hands.
And I suppose you're already part of a militia en route to take out the illegitimate government in DC?
Or are you just agitating on .win in hopes that patriots with more balls than you will do your job for you?
At this rate I'm going to buy a plague doctor headpiece and walk around looking like a silent creepy-ass motherfucker looming over the masked sheep just for the lulz.
I got pressured into it. Not happy about it, but having every damn family member pounding me over the head was getting to me.
So I did my research and am crossing my fingers that what I researched is accurate.
I'm trying not to be amused that I was the one who avoided intensely irritating side effects while the family was miserable about it.
The Democrats are trying hard to get rid of Cuomo.
Funny how #Metoo is stronger in their minds than mass murder.
We're too comfortable.
The Roman Empire had a term for this: it was called bread and circuses.
Even with a cursory glance at the rise and fall of the Roman Empire, you can see the parallels.
