Yeah, some old bag told me to put my dick away and get out of her kitchen one time.

Yeah, it doesn't take much to engage some people in conversation.

No, but my uncle likes to routinely try to convert me to Christianity, hate on Muslims, and believe him when he tells me that scientists across the world conspired to make up global warming and evolution just to spite God.

He would get along great with my dad

Does your dad also rountinely go through white supremacist Youtube videos and then try to tell you how Muslims were in league with Hitler and how slavery was a good thing for black people?

He literally told me I should read about history. I have a university degree in history and he is a plumber.

Sometimes. They get talkative and think their way of life is amazing. Mine isn't necessarily wrong but they don't understand it.

No but he believes the Muslim religion is a product of Satan and is a tool used by him to attack Christianity. He also used to tell me Obama fit the description of the Antichrist and he believed it was him.

Haha, yeah, my uncle said the exact same stuff. He's super racist, too. Like in addition to saying that black people were better off in slavery, he also argued that residential schools were made up and that the First Nations people should be thankful. Luckily I wasn't around for the later, considering I've literally interviewed residential school survivors and seen the artifacts, and the pure inhumanity of it would turn your stomach.

Yeah, thats pretty bad. My dad isnt racist like that, just really religious. Sucks you have to put up with hearing that in your own family.

Yeah, likewise.

Honestly, I'm fine with the religion thing. The first thing I always say is, "I'm glad it fulfills you, but it's just not for me because I don't agree with all the ideas" as politely as possible. He usually keeps it up telling me how it's not faith, but fact (which undermines his argument, if anything, but whatever). The racism and made up history thing is harder to ignore, though.

Stuff like that's why I keep my earphones in at all times when I'm out and about. Talk all you want - I'm not gonna respond though.

Some people think the only prerequisite to starting a conversation with you is for you to have an ear that's open. I won't hesitate to disprove that.

I know the feeling. I will literally wear headphones with no music playing while riding around in transit, just because I don't want to strike up small talk with random strangers. I get that some people enjoy that, but it's just not for me.
