When my wife has an edible, her sense of humor comes down to my level.

@IrisDallen anyone not previously cast out?

@IrisDallen so I'm reading that family was already out and maga may have just added to it?

So are we just not caring that islanders are playing Spaniards?

@CarmenSlamdiego rabbit holes.

Where once people needed to walk away to go to work and life would divert attention over the day, that no longer played a factor. Objectively, it goes to show either a lack of critical thinking (or believing everything read without skepticism) or that the truth needed to be dug for.

I'm thinking a little bit of both.

Great article about counciling people though. Talking through things does wonders...and less scrolling will always be beneficial.

@IrisDallen so is this a political difference in general or something about maga specifically that tipped the scales? Being a POS can be a pretty broad definition and doesn't even have to have a political motivation.

@Tarnagh to be fair, that is pre maga republican material....but well done! Have to just let it pass. Pretend that they're goading you (50/50 they are) and don't let them win.

Reward yourself with a stiff drink after.

@Tarnagh hahahaha that's a new one!

In all fairness my drilling deeper is usually over emails, like you mentioned about correcting over chat. If people I know want to spout it in public, I'm either in the minority or they're making a fool of themselves in public. They may not care, but I'm not contributing either way.

Public usually doesn't happen with family though, mostly folks at work. Family may happen on weekly visits, but that's why those last only maybe 4 hours.

@Tarnagh oh I'm bad. I drill deeper. See what lunacy I can think up that they'll agree to. For me, it just gets so ridiculous that I laugh and can't take it seriously.

Follow up: if no, was either side rude to the other specifically or was it just an "I can't talk to you right now/any more" thing?

Either way, I'm sorry it happened and I hope that even if you're okay with life without them, things find a way to recuperate. It can be a tall order, but I don't like to lose faith when it comes to a political division. And I say this as someone who has family I will likely never speak to again over an inheritance dispute.

Is anyone back to talking to maga relatives, or even friends? Anyone whose once strong relationship was strained by 2016-2021.

Just curious how time and whatever else has helped.

Ill throw #politics on this just in case. Figure people filter it to filter the noise.

I want to read that f22 pilot's next opr. That write up is going to be insane. Piloted/shot the first a2a kill for the bird is a cccp balloon over territorial waters. Result: defending America over her shores.

@Ellis564 you know, I guess I just would not expect a Grammy for it, but a more literary award.

At the same time, if I'm in that spot, I'd probably think "I can get a Grammy for doing the audio for an audio book? Hell yeah!" Something still seems funky about a memoir vs a fictional narrative (Clancy, Crighton, etc), but this probably just shows how many non fiction audio books I take in.

@Ellis564 as well, I guess I just envisioned it for something like a fictional narrative over a memoir.

@Nerdsleaze my uneducated self is simply mixed on a memoir getting it. Good for anyone that gets it though, I guess.

@Ellis564 portions of that I do not disagree with. I Grammy seems like a lot, but I suppose vo work needs a spot just like stunt people and cgi stuff (Serkis in Apes). Guess I would expect to be the Grammy version of Creative Arts Emmy.

No disrespect to Viola Davis, but a Grammy for an audio book seems like a stretch.
