This right here is probably the funniest thing I’ve read on these forums in a long time.

While I think it's noble to have the idea that we shouldn't judge people based upon their opinions, I don't think as humans we are capable of that.

“partisan identity” to me reads like politics, as in E is saying he doesn’t judge a person or an idea based on the political slant of the source (i.e. a good idea is a good idea and a good person is a good person, and of course the contrary applies as well). Opinions are all we have to base judgement on online. We have no idea how people actually are in real life. So many people assume an alter ego online.While I think it's noble to have the idea that we shouldn't judge people based upon their opinions, I don't think as humans we are capable of that.

I voted for both Republicans and Democrats in the 2020 election. I even voted for someone I suspected I wouldn't like later because I knew his opponent well enough to know I didn't like him already.
As for posting on the web -- my longstanding policy is not to post anything I wouldn't want my mother to read.
And now for something that probably deserves its own thread -- there is still a political sign standing beside I8 east of Cajon proclaiming Darrell Issa to be a "Trump conservative". I find that ironic in the same vein as 2020 Trump supporters wearing "Make America Great Again" hats.

The most ironic thing I've seen of late is Don Jr and his ilk calling life long GOPers RINO's.
Political parties are often founded on an ideal that evolves or disappears over time. The Republican Party got started when abolitionist Whigs were fed up with that party's endless compromising on the issue of slavery, and now it welcomes and supports the most racist politicians in the country.
I think we should start with the idea that most people here (including e but perhaps excluding a handful of notable exceptions on both extremes) are good people and are genuinely interested in soccer and soccer kids or they wouldn’t be here. Where it becomes suspect though is when a person views all pro lockdown/pro leftist ideas as “good ideas” and all anti lockdown/pro rightist ideas as “bad ideas” and vice versa...9/10 that’s just tribalism at work.
It appears that in your world there are only two types of thought recognizable -- "pro lockdown/pro leftist ideas" and "anti lockdown/pro rightist ideas". I disagree with that rigid dichotomy.

All or nothing, for some it simplifies things, makes things easier. No brain no headache.
a. fair but it's just a shorthand. As I said before, Newsom and dad 4 are worlds apart more than dad 4 and I even though we are on different sides.
b. As to you yourself, see the second sentence of my post. You are classic example.
c. If you disagree with that, you are more than welcome to correct the record (3rd invite) and I'll take you at your word.
d. you are a hypocrite because this conversation began tarring me with the same brush (e.g., my position on trans athletes is more "woke" than dad4's)

1. It's pretty self-evident the 6 foot thing has been complete nonsense and is just guessing (considering standards around the world range from 3-12 feet). There's some data, but that data is very hard to apply to particular situations such as with indoor circulation. Add to that people yelling and heavy exercise breathing with closed windows and you are just asking for it.
2. Pretty shocking too some people came to class symptomatic. My guess is this is how a lot of non-resident spread takes places, and explains the differences in some nations like Germany and Japan where it's less acceptable to go out in public if you are sick.
3. Some people who caught it wore masks. Also not surprising. They aren't miracle products and in a situation like this, where the masks get wet from perspiration, the best you can hope for is reducing viral loads.
You're babbling.

The "no duh" moment is in the first paragraph -- "Indoor group fitness classes are actually a pretty effective way to transmit the coronavirus".
"You done it again, my dear old Magoo!"
Silly argument. It's disgusting and shameful that the media used the story line that someone had their head violently bashed in with a fire extinguisher and died at the point of injury as a rallying cry. It was repeated over and over again. It was a lie and they knew it - but it sounded so cool and dramatic. Sounds so much better to say he had his head bashed in rather than an allergic reaction to pepper spray/mace. Which is interesting since most law enforcement undergo pepper spray training. We'll never really know since his body was cremated. I have some beachfront property in AZ to sell you if you think the yet to be released coroner reports will be truthful. Are you defending the media?
And all of the victims who died onboard airplanes and in buildings on 911 were murdered. That was the point.
My thought when I heard "fire extinguisher" on the live broadcast was "where did they get that?". My latest conjecture is that the so-called "fire extinguisher" was actually a large canister of bear spray, several of which were observed being carried and used by the Capitol traitors that day.
A large can of bear spray isn't very large and its pretty thin aluminum and very light weight even when filled. While I guess it might be possible I would put that odds at fairly unlikely that it could kill someone.
I did manage to shoot myself in the stomach with bear spray this summer in Yellowstone. That was a very unpleasant experience, but probably just punishment for my stupidity.

I never heard that where were saying that? I never saw a news agency declare a cause of death until the report about the bear spray.
