I know the feeling, my son offered to be in a controlled group for the new vaccine a year ago, not sure which one. When I tried to talk to my daughter about Bill Gates she got angry saying I am a conspiracy theorist and Bill Gates only wants to help the children of the world!! This from two 30+year olds who in the past have prided themselves on researching things. I should have known when my son got offended when he used Snopes as a fact checker and I laughed when he said it too me. I tried to tell him to look up who runs Snopes he was not interested, just appalled at my 'lack of knowledge'. Btw he is a computer specialist who spends 85% of his life in programming and coding, what a shame, if only he were on the right side, could do so much good!
I told a friend who cited Snopes, after laughing in his face, that it is run by a sex offender in his basement with his cats since he needed a job but cannot come within two thousand feet of a school or any establishment where children are present, He looked at me in total shock. He weakly protested that is not true. I said you think that since your curated news feed on your phone doesn't permit you to find it out, so try looking it up without using Goolag. After consulting the web for an hour, to "prove" me wrong, he quietly dropped the subject and never quoted Snopes to me again, lulz.
Yeah, tbf hes thought that all his life haha - our problem for being such positive parents, 'you can achieve what you want in life' kinda parenting! Was told by one of my daughters when she went to uni that I had not prepared her for the harsh reality of life. I am sure every uni student thinks that when they have to stand on their own two feet eventually.
