Gene Simmons meets a man whose unit liberated his mother's concentration camp

Simmons could at least have removed his sunglasses... :rolleyes:
He's about as Jewish as they get--his real name is Chaim Witz. He was born on August 25, 1949, in Haifa, Israel.✡️

I hear that he has light sensitivity. I do too, and if there are overhead lights - especially fluorescent - I either need a ball cap or sunglasses.

Follows my general philosophy. Remove negative, toxic people from your life. Including family. It makes a huge difference. I used to be more tolerant of assholes and dumb fucks. Now I just figuratively cancel them.

It takes some time and discipline to do this and forget about people that add absolutely nothing positive to your world. It's hard to just stop engaging and cut them off. You have to literally forget they exist and not keep your anger toward them in your head. To not do that is a half measure. For obvious reasons it's tougher with family.

My shit list is permanent. You can't get off it. I don't put anyone on it frivolously. You can have disagreements with people and respect their point of view. But once it becomes clear they are hopelessly at odds with you, always stirring the pot, trying to piss you off, or are irreversibly stupid, those are the shit list qualifiers.

That really is the tough part. I've told the story here many times about my family and how they treated me during the covid hysteria. I will admit that there are times I dwell and stew about it.

I tend to agree. Some of my family and friends shunned me during the covid hysteria. They initiated it. I made it permanent. They don't get to return and pretend that they never did what they did. Not one of them has expressed any contrition nor admitted being wrong. Accordingly, I made it permanent.
