Yup. I managed someone in IT that was great at their job until one day a conspiracy theory led them down a path that ended up involving the national media, FBI, threats against me & others, media training and a court case I followed very closelyYeah, being a "data professional" doesn't guarantee that you aren't a conspiracy-snorting crazy person, even if you manage to get through daily life.
I am a data analyst and work with others, including one who is "normal" in any way you can define....until one day he started in about covid vaccines and depopulation and Bill Gates and 5G. I was gobsmacked. It was the type of shit my relative would say off his meds (and sadly he has severe schizophrenia). I thought it was a joke but he managed to convince me that yes, he seriously believes garbage like that.
I met other people who were convinced that hospitals were empty during covid, that doctors were taking government money in some kind of scam. Tell that to my brother and others I know who were working overtime in area ICUs risking their lives, you simpleminded ignorant fucks.
I like this one because of "crab people"Paranoia cant be the worst trait for working in data security
I know that guy. Boy is EVERYONE there in for a big surprise. He's a charter member of the People At Random Are Needing Instant Offing. He's a serial killer.
Everything, it seems, wants to be a crab.I like this one because of "crab people"
I think the only thing that disproves "lizard" people (or any other type of alien presence quietly living amongst us) is that if one them eventually dies why aren't anomalous bodies with strange anatomies found in hospitals or by morticians? Surely one of them has to have been found somewhere in the world by now.
Im a science fiction fan and watch all versions of Star Trek. In one episode two humans are caught by a pre-warp civilization. They were there to retrieve lost technology. Since they did not want to contaminate the culture with proof of alien existence they confessed to being spies. Eventually they are discovered to have organs in the wrong place and iron based blood, which to that civ would be poisenous. They then claimed to be artifically created military prototype soldiers and were therefore sentenced to execution before being rescued.
It was a good episode:
That degree of idiot self-certainty is scary....and they get really pissed off at me when I have a little fun at their expense.
It's a Saul thing, I mean a Paul thing.That degree of idiot self-certainty is scary.
Puts me in mind of that old Caucasian Spiritual:
Oh, blinding light!
Oh! Light that blinds
I cannot see
Look out for me.
