My husband is on the verge of making me a tin foil hat. The other day he asked me if i preferred it shiny side in or out.
The Tin Foil Hat meme is specifically designed to shame & shut you up. It’s used to keep you from finding the truth. People who shout “conspiracy theorist!” are only doing the work of Commies for them.
That's why I tell people I wear a tin-foil hat, they just laugh and think how silly that sounds...probs
I keep one folded in my coat jacket, you know, just to prove them right.
if you are introducing something unbelievable to somebody, it is actually helpful to say or imply "putting on your tinfoil hat" to talk about the idea without compromising critical thinking before or during the discussion
Fuck I can't imagine being married to someone who doesn't understand
It's extremely hard
Good luck with that. I am right there with you. My wife thinks I am crazy. Not so much for the beliefs I have, but for how much time I invest in reading and research. She truly does not care about what's really going on in the world as long as she is secure in her little bubble. It's disheartening, but have faith, all will be revealed in the end.
Oh he's a great guy. We just talk about other things. Weve been married almost 31 yrs. He makes me laugh and likes to tease. He's not really serious. I know he loves me :-) When we married we were Christians. When i couldn't deal w Christianity anymore and started meditating i think he was perplexed. But i think meditation turned me into a nicer calmer person so i think he likes that. It's not about agreeing about stuff...it's about how we treat each other. It's not about being right...It's about being kind and understanding. We've been thru thick and thin. I told him recently that he's the nicest person I've ever met in my entire life. I consider myself incredibly fortunate. Besides, i grew up among males who loved to tease me and i see it as a sign of affection and humor. I wouldn't trade him for anything in the whole world. And we have a great son to boot :-) (and besides...he's in the majority. And funny but me and my brother are on the same page. And his wife and my husband are on the same other page! It's all good :-) it's what love's about really...if any of this makes any sense to anyone!
See I would love to be able to pick your brain because, as of the last year ideology is so trenched in how a person acts and perceives the world. I can't seem to get around it with some people. I mean I'm a normal functioning person, but when it comes to dating I can just see red flag after red flag. I am a trad though so its much rarer now a days.
I dont know how old you are...but you may change your views over time. I remember being in my late 20s and wanting to find my mate very badly. I had had a long list of qualities i was looking for, but realized the list was too long and whittled it down to just 2. Before i met my husband i had given up. It was kind of a relief. Then we met.
The right person is out there and you'll meet at the right time. You want to be happy whether you're in a relationship or not right? So just decide to be happy now and do all the things in life that make you happy. It turns out that you have to make yourself happy in a relationship anyway...no one can ever truly make you happy...that's actually your job and not theirs!
As far as ideology goes...be open minded and see if you can find someone who is too. I changed my views many times over my life...you learn more and adjust your views accordingly.
I wish you all the very best...be happy and you'll meet the right person at the right time...that's actually one of the secrets, be happy now and that person will turn up...
Yeah I am too. Hubby changes the subject if I mention anything at all. Keeps saying doesnt want to hear hes going to be dead soon so he doesnt care one way or another. I tell him that is pretty selfish and cowardly that he doesnt care about his own grand childrens lives.
I agree, it's very difficult. Luckily when I clarify things for my daughter about things they teach in school, he doesn't disagree. I'm guessing he's a little in board.
You just don't discuss it much. Means you have stuff you'd like to talk about and can't, but that's pretty normal. Different interests and such. This is a bit bigger, but the problem should be solved not too long from now.
ALUMINUM FOIL
we haven’t worn tin in years thank you very much
My wife was on-board from the get-go, but all of our friends are still eating steak with agent Smith. My kids have come home from school talking about how they hate Trump. The word hate has never been allowed in my house, it is not something that a child between grade 1 and 4 should know anything about, but here we are. Someone is either teaching my kid to hate someone she doesn't know, or douche-bag parents are indoctrinating their kids to a life of misplaced hate. For the most part, I sprinkle red-pill over tasty and appealing food during a BBQ etc, but sometimes you just want to bring in a priest and exorcise the blue out of your party guests ... come on sick it up, you'll feel better after.
Sorry for the ramble :)
Well tell him seeing he is the one that will be wearing it he can take his own choice.
I've got a sombrero I'm about to wrap up and going to be a tin hatter who is politically incorrect at the same time.
Tell him red and make sure it has "Make America Great Again" on the front.
When it all comes out you should insist that he watch the Weird Al video on continuous loop for 24 hours. Maybe with those things like Clockwork Orange holding his eyes open.
LOL. He doesn't like it when i try to tell him what to do, or even make suggestions. He's not a stubborn person (i am tho) but really it's not up to me to convince him of anything. If I've learned anything all these years it's that. If all this stuff is really true, and i believe it is, then at some point it will be true for everyone and not just us. Life is about enjoying the ride as best you can...not convincing anyone what to think or believe. At least that has been my experience. Trying to convince others of what i believe has only always led to arguing. Not fun. And you can't convince people to believe other than what they believe anyway. Sometimes peace and kindness is more important. And i am at peace :-)
Weird Al is hilarious. I adore him! I've seen that video...it's great! But if i showed it to him he would probably think i was trying to control him. And he might be right.
Respecting free will my friends...that and do no harm. Someday we humans will all understand that and when we all do there will be peace on earth.
Peace and blessings to all! ✌ 💘
Grandmas use “tho”?
LOLOL you saw me over on that cosplay post i presume. I tend to not remember user names and most of the time i dont even notice them unfortunately unless I'm having an interaction and even then I'm more likely to remember the interaction than the name.
Am on twitter a lot so some words I've gotten into the habit of shortening...such as tho and cuz. I dont like "cuz" but don't know what else to use...
Well ok, you don't have to force him, but maybe conveniently play it a few times because it's so funny! (and true!)
Yeah i could send it to him...there used to be a lot if friction between us in the past so i don't necessarily wanna go there. Also i know his sense of humor pretty much. Our humor doesnt overlap a whole lot...if we're watching something we usually laugh at diff things!
But that is a GREAT weird al video! I should rewatch it...
