alternative lifestyle

This is not the future I expected, back in the 20th century. Yes, I thought I might have an alternative lifestyle that my mother would disapprove of. But I didn't expect she'd disapprove of my getting vaccinated against contagious diseases. Or getting part of my electricity from wind and solar.

She doesn't understand about being bisexual and polyamorous, but she is ok with "these wonderful people are very important to me, and I am living with them now." I don't expect her to object to my rainbow-striped airgami because of the rainbow stripes. She just thinks it's dangerous to wear any mask and I should stop.

If you get vaccinated you'll have free 5G wireless wherever you go!

(In other words: Much sympathy! Having a parent repudiate science has to be hard.)

Oof.

I also have a multicoloured airgami.

And I am glad you are living with those wonderful people.

Oh, dear, how very difficult -- and unexpected, I can see that.

I think you are having a similar experience to many. I'm pretty sure I expected society at large to believe one set of conspiracy theories, but it turns out they decided to play "yes, and" instead.
