Good fucking grief! These two anti-vaxxers are now discussing how climate change is fake and that the phasing out of gas will reduce quality of life.

Fucking fuck fuck this shit

Edit: i already feel so "job ready" listening to these two knuckleheads. 🙄

Edit: these men love hearing themselves talk, fucking UGH UGH UGH 🤮🤮🤮

Edit: one of them just told the trainer her qualifications don't matter... her PhD doesnt matter... i cant even. This is actually wack af

Unfortunately, every workplace has a set of these people. You have to figure out which ones they are and then set face to ‘mild strained smile’ when you see them and avoid conversations that are not work related.

Almost makes you wonder if they're Cennalink plants to somehow force people off jobseeker/whatever just to not have to deal with or be associated with such loons

[–] StudChud@aussie.zone 8 points 1 year ago

I wonder! They're just so... cliché lol. One of them I would say attends those 'protests' in the city haha

Honestly, there is nothing you can say to convince climate deniers.

We're at the find out stage.

I'm just sitting on mute with my camera off, playing BG3. Have completed the 'activities' already lol. I ain't saying shit to them haha

FYI if this is meeting on teams, you can mute other participants.

Do what you will with this knowledge.

Maybe they're trying to nutball their way out of training too.

[–] melbaboutown@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That doesn’t work. If they’re insane they don’t have to do it - but if they don’t want to they’re sane, and have to do it.

At least the class sounds boring.

Maybe a long life does have to be filled with many unpleasant conditions if it’s to seem long.

At least we've determined the transgender downvoter is also the antivaxxer downvoter probably. I'm so vaxxed trans gay and live right next to a 5g tower. I removed my aliminium foil from the cupboard. I also don't like rabbit holes or doing any of my own research.
