Bad News Thread

Holy cow fellas, I so scared. Ok ok, I will obey!!! This robot dude reminds me of EOTL, yikes!!! Stay safe everyone :)

 
You are asking for everyone else to ignore whether your choice is harming others. Then you go on to blame them for being selfish, and pat yourself on the back for your supposed “personal responsibility”.

You’ve got the whole notion of personal responsibility backwards. It is meant to be about each of us taking ownership of the consequances of our actions. It doesn’t mean I get to do whatever the hell I want, and then blame others for having the nerve to get in my way.
Communist word salad.
 
If he didn't mischaracterize others' comments he would have nothing to debate.

I'm sitting here at a HS basketball game. Half the spectators are masked. For the life of me I don't understand how the school should be held liable for someone contracting Covid. Everyone is here on their own free will. They've assumed the risk.

I'm also sitting here wondering how these varsity basketball players don't look any taller than the U14 LAFC players my son played a couple weeks ago.
State cup game yesterday near San Diego. About 1/2 masked too.
 
Wow, half? I was at an ECNL game in NorCal yesterday. IIRC, about 1 in 5 or fewer had masks on. We have another game today. I'll pay more attention.
It seemed that the ratio was similar at our game. It makes sense though given the demo of club soccer parents, most are vaccinated. So if you follow the science you're not wearing a mask. In my circle I'm only aware of one adult that hasn't gotten a vaccine and she is breast feeding. We're on the fence about my pre-puberty son getting vaccinated.

"follow the demo" falls apart in small numbers.

Why assume that, if you follow the science you are unmasked? No part of the science says masks cause damage.

I am fully aware that my mask today does about 1/20 as much good as it did before. I can even tell you that my neighborhood is a low risk neighborhood in a low risk county of a low risk state.

However, as long as 1/4 of adults near me are unvaccinated, I kind of like the politeness mask expectation. So I wear mine, because it costs me nothing and might help.
 
Interestingly more of the players were masked than the adults walking to the field. Wonder if because adults still worried kids not vaccinated.
I would like to ask as I am genuinely curious. Unfortunately, some may take that as judging so I keep my mouth shut. I know @crush knows I don't judge, but not everyone knows me like that ;)

The polite authoritarian? If only Lenin knew.
 
Yeah. We want you to have the mask on so you don't get frostbite in the gulag.

You sure you don't want to cut to the chase and start calling people Nazi when they disagree with you? Leninism is kind of obscure.
No, it was hyperbole. It's been boring on the board with things going so well now - that's a good thing - and I knew you wouldn't take it the wrong way, comrade.
 
Las Vegas strip club offers vaccine clinic

Patrons who show proof of vaccination at the club will reportedly be treated to a one-year Platinum membership, dances from a vaccinated stripper, complimentary bottle of alcohol and tickets to "Sexxy After Dark" with a limousine pickup.

Hey @Dominic, free Platinum membership with proof of Vax? Come on man :)
 
Aka virtue signaling.

Outside, vaccinated, 6+ feet apart...zero risk. Has nothing to do with politeness. Hey honey, I'm going to wear two condoms, ya know, because I'm Mr. Polite.
We have a 65% vax rate and minimal progress. With a 65% vax rate and a 30% infection rate, daily new infections ought to be near zero. Instead, cases are slowly inching down. Something is going wrong.

That something is impatient fools who relax their behavior so quickly they undo 2/3 of the benefit we get from the vaccine. Then the anti-vax fools copy them and the virus spreads.

Look at you. You go to a HS basketball game which looks like a dress rehearsal for the Placer super spreader event from last summer. Did you learn nothing?

You know, I believe virtue signaling is often used for people being "disingenuous". I'm not going to put that on @dad4. I think he honestly believes his viewpoint. I respect that.
