I went out to dinner the other night with a family friend, and he spent the entire dinner talking about some right wing conspiracies. I feel like my brain is rotting oml. Does anyone else have to sit through conversations like this?

    Somewhat frequently and this same relative I’m pretty sure is reluctant to tell me because he can tell I am quietly disapproving without even saying much.

    I’d also assume that he later comes to the conclusion some of these ideas or even smaller conspiracies are total bullshit or a waste of time. So I don’t really have to do much or even buy into the conversation to disprove anything…

    Unrelated? I’m all in for citizens reporting of their POV in events (that isn’t journalism though). And what I’m noticing is Elon Musk trying to appeal to that audience in twitter. What it seems like they’re doing is endlessly shilling dumb bullshit stories though.
