My FIL just knew that the covid shots were going to kill my wife and I. The goalposts kept moving after we survived each alleged length of time without dying. Last one was “You’ll die in 30 years because of the covid vaccine”.

Wtf? I ride a motorcycle. And I’m in my 40’s. I spend time in small aircraft sometimes. I’m 100% positive I’ll die in the next 30 years from something.

Edit: My rambling inebriated comment reminded me that I’ve somehow managed to avoid covid completely. I’ve either never had it, or it was such a mild case that I didn’t even notice. Thanks vaccines, I get to die in 30 years instead of a few years ago.

Along with taking the time to put a box of bullets in the fridge

That’s because they were threatening anyone who made fun of ck being shot.

It’s so wild how much I kept myself from meeting/talking to women and staying inside because I “knew” they wouldn’t like me.

I worked up the nerve to ask a beautiful woman what she was doing after work, and this stunning 32 year old blonde actually blushed, she got nervous, and she invited me to her house where we hooked up. This gave me the confidence to ask another woman for her email address months later, and I’ve been happily married to that one for 14 years.

I remember when I first applied for a job in a fabrication/machine shop. One of the questions in the interview was “Do you know how to read a tape measure‽” followed by “demonstrate that you can use a tape measure” along with some other fun ones like “what is the difference between these two pieces of material” (one was aluminum, the other stainless) and other such things. I remember being surprised/disappointed that there were grown people who couldn’t read a tape measure.

I’ve worked in machine shops and drafting offices for years now, and I’m no longer surprised by people who can’t use basic measuring tools. Still disappointed though.
