Sounds like she’s in denial. Does she also change the subject when losing an argument?
Anyways, I think you have better chances addressing her denialism than to argue any other political point. As long as someone won’t argue in good faith, all other arguements and debates become pointless diversions.
At this point I’ve told her that if the worst should happen with Republicans getting their way and she loses her benefits I don’t plan to help her at all. She’ll be at the mercy of her own decisions. (Something her and my dad have said to my siblings and I a lot growing up.)
I’m curious, what did she say to that?
Can I join in on that hug?
How sad. I wish him the best of luck with it and hope he pulls through.
I’m guessing we’re about a decade away from this getting miniaturized down to insect sizes.

I think Jim isn’t a good rolemodel for what OP is suggesting. Jim’s pranks often walked a line where they were funny for the audience, but still a bit too mean for real life. After all, Dwight never seemed to enjoy the pranks, and that’s really the crucial element of a practical joke.
On a related note. One of my favourite pranks happened in a game of Minecraft. Me and a friend were chatting and playing. He was fishing while I was mining, except I wasn’t mining. I was waiting for the perfect moment to use an invisibility potion and snatch his fish in mid-air. He was so confused at first, until he heard my laughter, understood what was happening and had a good laugh as well.
Thank you. It boggles my mind how people seem so oblivious to this problematic phrasing and how unnecessarily divisive it is. I wish these words could be plastered across the internet.
