Just a comment on the term “gaslighting” When and why did everyone start using this?
Finally looked it up and basically it’s lying and manipulating to make people question what they otherwise know to be reality.
I’d rather just say lying, manipulating or BSing.
I feel the same way about “jab” vs. “shot” or “injection”.
Just a few people on this site I’ve been using since ‘99 have made this site become a shell of itself. Dr. G (for gaslight”? and a few other ‘experts’; - well I wish the site could have a split section for more hardcore covid skeptics versus covid believers like with Q stuff. I just ignore certain threads but to me they have significantly altered this place as the desire to appease or take middle ground or not to offend has changed the tenor and a lack of people willing to post comments so as to not get in a futile debate. These are pathetic times. I call it the age of the dumbass as we struggle to morph from the home of the free and the brave to the home of safe spaces and tattle tales.
