Rarely as a kid, but I pushed for adult discussions when I got older because otherwise I would never talk to them and it was clear they wanted to talk to me.

They only wanted to talk about inconsequential things, which is boring so no thanks.

So whenever I talked to my mom or dad after like 25 or something, I resolved to only talk about things I was actually interested in, and to cut short in consequential conversations and steer back to interesting topics, things I normally didn’t talk to my parents about (drugs, relationships, philosophy), and eventually one topic or another got their attention (my mom told me about smoking pot in high school), and I continue trying to be as honest as I could with them because I don’t want a relationship with someone comprised entirely of small talk, but I don’t want to ignore my parents either.

I definitely think there’s a correlation between how you’re brought up and your relationship with your parents now, my parents implicitly taught me not to bring up consequential life topics to them as a child, and I had to recognize and actively fight against that terrible lesson as an adult in order to have any sort of mature, human relationship with either of them.

Holy crow, that freaked me out. That’s really impressive. Pretty uncanny valley, but I can definitely see the appeal.

TIL, thanks

sewing is mine also. I don’t think I’ve talked to a single person in the 15 years I’ve been sewing that hasn’t reacted with shock to some degree or another upon finding out.

i like repairing clothes and making backpacks.

no, you’re making that up.

my sources are real, and have been from the top, and for some reason verified, documented sources infuriate you.

doesn’t matter to me.

My entire post is backed up with verified sources.

with established historical fact.

can’t say the same for your imaginings.

your pretense of denial is not a shocker. give it a few hours.

the sources support everything I’ve been saying from the top.

remember how you pretended the documented, verified US government sources weren’t real and then admitted that the sources were real after 3.5 hours yesterday?

I can wait another few hours for you to remember.

All my sources have supported the same facts from the top to bottom.

your incorrect theories don’t matter here, The facts are known and provided by the US government. testified, documented fact.

don’t need luck. the US government publicly admitted to repeated airborne dispersion of dangerous chemicals on non-consenting US citizens.

you keep ranting and playing pretend, I’ll repeat the same facts I first posted, just as true 30 comments later.

good deal.

The US government admitted to using biological weapons on non-consenting US citizens to test the efficacy of those weapons, and no amount of your bitterness at having to learn something new can change that evidence.

two of you appear not to want to believe the evidence.

that’s an acceptable minority of unreasonable naysayers, there’s always some small troll minority who refuse to accept evidence right away.

and the other guy has already admitted the truth of the evidence after a few hours.

so, no worries.

The US government admitted to using biological weapons on non-consenting US citizens to test the efficacy of those weapons, and you’re helping spread the facts brought to light by the church committee hearing.

“I have no issues with you sticking to the facts.”

wouldn’t matter if you continued to fight against the facts anyway.

good of you to recognize that.

back to your nitpicking?

how irrelevant to the facts.

You do seem to have shrunk back into yourself.

it’s good you’re feeling shame; you should be at this point.

“I guess Trump does…”

invoking your hero? he can’t help you here, especially since like you he can’t read.

“adding things to your sources…”

You’re confused, the facts are the facts and your sour lemons don’t matter one whit.

the church committee documented a biological weapons testing program on US citizens by the US government.

and the facts don’t care jack about your wrong track.

wallow in your ignorance.

oh, but keep proving me right, by all means.

yeah I get it, you like to mix truth with lies and project your confusion onto others.

still don’t care, your juvenike tricks aren’t going to work here.

I’m going to stick with the facts, you can prance around in your make-believe land.

kind of easy to call it a misdirection when you’re taking my words out of the provided context and pretending they mean something they don’t.

pretty easy to call it a misdirection when you’re avoiding the thrust of the post to try to nitpick irrelevant details.

keep swinging.

it doesn’t matter what kind of misdirection you try.

you either misunderstood the source, which seems very likely, or you didn’t read the actual source, which seems even more likely.

you should read the church committee report, it’s a fascinating several hundreds of pages.

it sure does if you keep pouting and asking me to distort the facts.

the facts started at the top, they’re staying the same down here.

nothing has changed, you can read the post and the sources at the top and there’s nothing you can do about their verified accuracy and the live biological agents that the US government dispersed on non-consenting US citizens.

I doubt anyone is mistaking you for smart.

read the sources I provided, they’ll explain the difference for you.

or…maybe try a dictionary.

to start.
