re: #233 Fat Bastard Vegetarian

You’re a better (wo)man than I am. I have a very short “Shut the fuck up” fuse… I am waaay more polite on the interweaves.

I’m a guy. :D

Well, here’s the thing, it’s harmless, because they’re people I otherwise have lots in common with. If someone believes in a conspiracy theory, and they’re already a friend of mine, there’s no point in me arguing it with them, I’ll just make them angry and defensive and possibly harm my friendship, which isn’t based on that anyhow.

When you’re an artist, and you hang out with other artists, you become immune to the wild things artists believe. If all my friends had to share my politics and skepticism, i would have no friends, hahaha :D
