My old lady (mum) has become a cooker. She sent me silver bullion for my birthday emblazoned with " the currency after the reset", this has been building for years but holy fuck.
Has anyone else had this? What are you doing/who are you talking to?
I wouldn't care what the fuck is written on it. It's silver bullion mate. Does she need a middle aged daughter?
Go for it. How far will $115 of silver at market rate take you?
2 slabs of beer and some snacks.
The other place has qanoncasualties if that might be any help?
I'm so sorry. I suggest you treat this like your mother has joined a cult. learn how to speak to cult members, the book "Combatting Cult Mind Control" is very helpful.
It's probably youtube cooker stuff, as she has moved to country Tasmania ten years ago with her boyfriend (my age!)
I'll look, just in a bad place right now.
YouTube cooker stuff is like a cult!!
I wish I had advice to give, but I don’t. I do however have sympathy. Same thing happened to me during covid. We are now non contact (there were other reasons too, but this was a big one). For context I studied and work in STEM, so I was essentially the enemy and there was no way forward from that. Good luck. It’s horrid.
