A harsh dose of reality will hit many.

Whoops, I meant their shirt read "birds aren't real".

We, meaning society, are doomed.

Whoops is right! Well, my editorial stands.
Oh and the fact the kid was wearing a "birds aren't real" only underscores the fact we are doomed.

Wait, the kid wearing the "birds aren't real" shirt was satirizing the conspiracy fanatics around us in the broader society.
That kid isn't worrying me.

Someone gets it. "Birds aren't real" was satire from inception. It’s poking fun at the chromosome challenged folks on the fringes (e.g., Flat Earthers, Q adherents, the colloidal silver types, etc.).

And they’ve helped me and millions of others, too. But for every legitimate remedy, there are dozens if not hundreds of, scams, snake oils, magical potions that don’t do squat.

The interesting part not mentioned often though is the power the mind has to heal. If you believe it's real, it is. If you doubt it, it's not real.
I've wondered if there are healing properties to happiness? Something with higher levels of the chemicals in the body having an actual effect on healing, or prevention of disease.
It seems that those who feel they got the short stick always have the bad things happen and those who just don't fret have more luck.

Be careful about poking those people. They are the ones that got the political sections shut down.

ABSOLUTELY! I was only half-joking. I know there's none of the original "chemical" in the homeopathic remedy, it all comes down to being in tune with my mind, creating pathways to healing.

There are definitely studies showing increases in endorphins during laughter. And similar reductions during depression.

I have not had a bird flying to any of my sliding glass doors or windows since I got my Covid booster shot. Obviously we're all in sync.

yeah, most of those "negative-ion" products actually have radioactive materials in them, Thorium being one of the most common. It's actually pretty scary that they can sell shit like that.

I have had all my COVID shots and just yesterday a bird shit on my car.

Guess I'm not special.

I'm writing to Bill Gates and tell him something's not working right.

Mine was on my hood. Took it to local coin-op car wash. All gone.

The coin-op has been remodeled. It's pretty cool now. Better and quicker.

And now takes my credit card. So does that mean it's not a coin-op, lol? Coins are a pita.
