I just think of Karen Chicken from Rocko's Modern Life, who gets a job at the Chokey Chicken, and later in the episode you see a ready meal with her nametag on a conveyor belt.

Laura Loomer, a conservative Jewish woman, did not find the reception she was looking for when she got kicked off Twitter and moved to Gab.

Another self-described "conservative woman" also had a problem with her movement's underlying culture.

You do have to fully re-vaccinate again after that, but I don't know if that means you are 100% as susceptible as an unvaccinated person if you don't.

Having had it done a little over a year ago - you do, and you are. Your immune system goes to literal zero. Any childhood diseases I had and couldn't get again? Gone. You have the immune system of an infant - literally. Sucks because a common cold puts me DOWN for like 2 weeks because I got nothing to fight it off at all.

As we've been doing my vaccinations again, I joke with my doctor about hoping I don't catch the autism - which she thinks is hilarious.

But now - I want to see what the anti-vaxxer response to that scenario is. I'm sure they will handwave it away with "it's different for kids vs adults" but I am curious to ask one: "my immune system was wiped completely out and reset to the same as a newborn. Should I be worried about getting autism as I am being revaccinated?"

I should note - I am curious - but not curious enough to willingly enter into a discussion with an anti-vaxxer. Perhaps I will never know.

Are there any real people left on twitter besides OPs?


I swear at least once a day someone runs up into my face and starts copy pasting bullshit. Then I check their tweet history and it's like

"As a nurse and mother of 4 bla bla bla"

then a few months down

"as a holocaust historian bla bla bla"

"as a trans person I have never had a problem with bathroom bills and we really need to stop these trans activists from invading LGB spaces"

With locations changing as often as professions.

And all they do is repost the same stuff in a super aggressive manner. Like homing beacons for real people. Their posts often instantly liked by other "people" who do the exact same thing.


I swear if you laid this out on a map they're specifically trying to make people feel isolated whenever they comment on any vaguely political topic.

They'll justify it's different for kids probably by saying something like "science shows the brain finishes development in the mid 20s" if the discussion happens in person you would then hear what sounds like a 7 chord being played in a tank of jello emitting from their skull.

I actually know someone who is very antivax, amongst a whole host of other crazy. It's impossible to try to argue about anything because it just gets shut down with 'I know better'.

Oddly enough, she would only really mention the crazy stuff when there were no scientists about. I have a good few PhD friends who were far more equipped to argue than me but she didn't give them much chance...

I have a few older friends like that who are all obsessed with cellphones causing cancer and weird rear end diets like no carbs etc.


I tell them that if they have any concerns about it just go to the health center and you can ask a doctor about diet or cancer. They respond with "doctors don't know everything" and I answer that no they do not but they know more than anyone else and that's the most we can ask for.

It usually ends there but I'm pretty sure there are whole strings of rebuttals they're not voicing.

Just do this - whenever you are both in the company of the PHDs, just tell them her stupidest beliefs and let them have at her like a pack of rabid wolves. Either she has to admit she's an idiot, or she has to lie about her beliefs and compromise herself.

I remember Tomi Lahren getting some backlash when she made some pro-choice comments.

One of my absolute favorite Things is the obsession that conservatives/right-wingers/chuds/etc. have with complaining about the left and "cancel culture"...while conveniently forgetting that they've participated in plenty of "cancel culture" themselves. Dixie Chicks are a main example, but I also doubt Republicans were (publicly) happy with Janet Jackson's titty at the Superbowl. Not to mention Target's same-sex wedding ads, all the folks demanding Kathy Griffin's blood after that Trump photo, and so on and so on for hours.
