The mind is very powerful and can make you sick. I made a video nearly a year ago on the topic of Covid and the NOCEBO EFFECT (not placebo). Look into it. They are convincing masses of people they are sick, which in turn is literally making them sick.
Love when someone confronts me for not having a mask... I proceed into a polite tirade of belittling the morons and explaining how their face diapers (that they keep touching) are spreading germs everywhere. They usually shut up. The ones that really piss me off are the ones who give me looks and talk under their breath. Say something Faggot! Dare you.
Years ago I sold cars. Went to work at a dealer with a reputation for screaming at their salespeople. I told them when they hired me, you ever yell at me and I'm gone, I will not tolerate it. Worked there for 2 years (top salesman 90% of the time). One morning the owner and manager were lit and started screaming (they always avoided me until this day). I stood up, said "Goodbye" and walked out. The Manager says "Don't slam the door"... nope, closed it gently. Went to my desk and packed my shit as they stood there in disbelief I was really leaving. I walked out. A week later they were blowing up my phone begging me to come back. Never did. Never would. Jobs are everywhere. They were the ones who lost all the revenue I was generating.
Unless said parental units are of the same sex... then it's totally cool.
