I was talking to a coworker this evening.
She said she just got an email from her sister out west.
She gets them all the time.
They start with how much danger they are in, and if they only voted the safe choice, they could stop worrying.
They always throw urban legends that are easily disprovable via snopes.
She asked me how to deal with it. I told her to drop it, ignore it, there was nothing to be done and she'd only break her sister and destroy any relationship she had with her.
The ONLY time you engage in a religious discussion is if you are willing to rip out the fabric of the reality of the person you are talking to. It can shatter them. Don't do it.
Of COURSE I knew it hit that.
Except I ain't going anywhere, I'm not KMS, and I'm not pissed (or even pissy).
It's part of the process.
Also, if I know shit, how can it be personal?
It can't be. It has to be generic.
If you take it personally, then it must mean I've struck a nerve.
Pretty cool how that works out.
