Stupidity. I watched my parents go from someone that had a suspicious eye for everything to people who trust the television.
Old age must make you dumb.
I made a family party very uncomfortable tonight and I feel like I need to write a manifesto now.
I heard a gentleman by the name of A. Hitler had some ideas you may want to check out. Wrote a whole book on his struggles.
You haven’t yet?
sadly no...
I'm sure genetics play a role here too.
I think it's just old people.
My folks bought into that Alexa shit, the things they ask it are amusing. For example, I bought a thing on eBay and had it sent there via USPS because I wasn't going to be around to collect at my house. It was due some Saturday I was there, so my father tries to ask Alexa if there was any mail. I go "How is Amazon going to know about an item bought on eBay by someone who doesn't live here and got shipped by USPS?" I don't think the absurdity got through.
That's exactly what happened to my father. They are both 75. My mom was always very trusting in the government and media, but my dad wasn't. He was vehemently against a lot of things. He had never take any flu vaccines telling me it was a scam. Now he's taking everything they tell to take. They have both aged a lot in the last two years.
