Ugh my wife's step-sisters husband is a pharmacist. His body is riddled with tumors but he swears the ivermectin and supplements are what's fighting the cancer. Not the chemo. Nope. That's promoting the cancer.

Self solving problems are the best problems.

Agreed. I'm not to fond of him (or my wife's step-sister, for that matter)...obviously I don't want him to die, or be in pain...but I feel real bad for his kids (my step-niblings). They're already at a tough age (middle school), their dad is dying, and they've all drunk the Kool aid. The whole side of the family has, save for maybe one or two of my half-BILs.

Last week, the mom (who runs an upscale clothing store) was saying she only wants to hire old white ladies and won't hire kids anymore. The daughter pipes up saying "yeah kids these days are lazy, they don't want to work", parroting the parents talking points. But literally 30 seconds later, the mom is saying that it's the slow season and she's spending most of her day watching Netflix. The self-awareness is just completely missing.
