OT: Bullshitting at the Barbershop part III

[dash]

Sometimes I wonder if people just make these posts for the attention because clearly they can't be this dumb, right?

To paraphrase George Carlin "think about how dumb the average person is, now consider half of them are dumber than that"

A good percentage of those people vote as well

You have people in their mid 30s who have only gotten info from Fox News and watching Podcasts online their entire lives. An entire generation.

They can be this dumb. In fact, you have no idea how much dumber they can, and will, be.

Usually you dont see such well trained warriors fighting over things like that.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

My sister in law is one of those redecorate the house for every single "holiday" types and dives fully into every tik tok trend for how to celebrate the influencer-y way. Every fucking day from Thanksgiving til Christmas it's all Elf on a Shelf. And the same post on facebook, Instagram, etc. So tiring. I have muted her numerous times, and she actually notices when she doesn't get likes from everyone. My Brother in Law (wife's brother) tried to bring it up on the golf course one day. He said that she will ask him why some people in "his" family don't like her posts. I told him that if he is hoping I will use this info to like more of her posts, he doesn't know me very well. He dropped it.

So yesterday was "Happy no snakes in Ireland" day. Now, I always get annoyed because on Mom's side my heritage is 100% Irish and English, and on Dad's side it's 50%, and my Mom's Mom was one of those "It's a solemn day for reflection and prayer" kinds of Irish ladies, so all of my life that was the way we marked it. So the baubles and bangles annoy me. But it's just one day, and I get to be snarky which is a good release. The last week, it's been constant "Leprechaun" traps and random pranks they are playing on their kids. Last night, their corned beef and cabbage dinner was interrupted when their special little snowflake asked Alexa if anyone had ever caught a Leprechaun, to which Alexa replied "there is no evidence any Leprechauns have ever been caught". So then the kid asked if anyone has caught the Tooth Fairy to which Alexa replied "The tooth fairy is not real".

So she is now on a warpath demanding everyone boycott Amazon and is planning to, I guess, speak to the manager at Amazon because Alexa dared speak a fact. My wife is somewhat annoyed at how amused by all this I am.

THAT ^^^ is a great rant

"It's a solemn day for reflection and prayer"

I've actually never heard that. All the actual Irish people I know still view it as a happy party day. No green beer, special attire, or jewelry - just a regular night at the pub. Except all day. And morning.

Lol might say something about the Irish people I know.

Yeah, most people do view it more as a party day or carnival like atmosphere. But my grandmother would always say how her grandmother would talk about how they marked it when she was a kid in Ireland.

That would have been the mid 1870s. so...




Probably woulda changed a lot if they had Leprechaun dolls and talking boxes spilling secrets on Santa Claus.
