    My conservative father brought up something akin to climate change, so I raised one eyebrow and hit him with my best Jon Stewart “do go on…”, then he immediately switched gears to how it’s climate cycles and blah blah blah, I just laughed and changed the subject so he couldn’t bog me down into a political argument on my birthday.

      I’m not going to watch a video for information - but to essentially agree with you, good person, I assume the general summary went from

      • “climate change isn’t real”
      • to “ok sure climate change is real but it’s not caused by humans”
      • and then next is “ok fine it was us but it’s too late to prevent it anyway”
      • followed by fiery death

        Or…

        They’ll discover immortality and be like, “come on guys, we only have one planet.”

        Any minute now, they’ll be saying it’s the Apocalypse and a welcome fulfillment of Biblical prophecy (see also: Israel).
