Reply to worlds best post censored by moderators becomes worlds greatest controversy. its title? "heh... by facts and logic... you must vote for joe biden" by twovests
its kind of weird thinking that actually this is the normal playbook for the democrats. the obama election, which preceded basically the defining presidency for my political identity, was actually an outlier because people were actually excited to vote for him lol. it'll be 99% hitlers until the usa ends

i dont want to be overly cold about a story where a man commits suicide but i want to emphasise that at the end of the day, this guy who crafted his identity about being a emotionally stoic defender of his family completely succumbed to his emotions and left his daughters without a father and his wife without a husband in what sounds like a time of financial stress. he never used his guns to protect his family or community. it was all just an affectation in order to distance himself from the "pink" people he resented so much

i feel like Pushmo might be an older sister type game for some reason, but i don't think my older sister would enjoy it. she likes crash bash for the playstation one, specifically the air hockey game, and that's about it.

Reply to 'FYI Pickleball DRAMA': Local Governments Overwhelmed By Tennis-Pickleball Turf Wars, Documents Show | 404 Media by anethum
this article was surprisingly enthralling. pickleball people seem like tech bros demanding that cities immediately change their existing park infrastructure to suit their whims while tennis and other sport people seem like nimbys who are afraid of change and are unwilling to share. unfortunately i am a fence sitter on the pickleball issue

Reply to comment by flabberghaster in I believe, if you do not wear a mask in indoor public spaces, you should face jail time by flabberghaster
i didn't know that the two meters thing is based on the droplets model. in any case i understand where youre coming from but public health does not come about by scolding individual people into changing their behaviour. fundamentally the advice from all the world governments and health agencies is that masking indoors is now largely unnecessary. to say that people are "completely selfish" for following that advice is absurd. the average person is not in the position to research the epidemiology of mask wearing and the mechanics of viral particle spread in order to make decisions on whether or not to wear a mask. and even in an ideal society it is untenable to mandate 100% masking indoors for 100% of the population. i think its more effective to focus on systemic changes and regulations that encourage health, like mandating effective ventilation for buildings and providing a robust health system that can prevent illness in the first place.
moreover i think its deeply concerning to think that "everyone in society is completely selfish and unwilling to take small steps to protect others". i think thats literal doomer shit. theres no way thats a healthy way to view the world. its incredibly ungenerous and cynical. if that's the case then why try and improve things at all? it makes me wonder if this is really about public health at all or if this is an easy shortcut for you to crudely write people off as uncaring. are you immunocompromised? do you know immunocompromised people? do immunocompromised people uniformly believe that people who dont mask up are completely selfish and unwilling to protect other people? its easier to cope with a bleak world if youre confident that everybody in it is irredeemable. if there is value in people then it means you have to change things, and that's harder than retreating into doomer shit.
also "the only thing you can do is source control" is obviously untrue. if that were the true there would be no point in wearing a mask when everybody else is going unmasked

i am usually a mask person at school and on public transport but i have decided to not wear a mask at my summer grocery job because its so hot that the inside of my mask literally becomes wet with sweat and breath and the store is quiet enough that people mostly stay beyond 2 m away from me. take me away boys
