Covid

[Walks_At_Night]

The biggest problem with being around this group since the start of covid is that I know who and what you are talking about. No sane person should understand a statement such as that without some additional input.

Ha!  I guess that's true.

Stand firm thread!  Don't be seduced by the mask free promise.  Check these graphs out.

Oh you poor suspicious creatures stifling in your hated masks all summer, I feel so bad!  While we virtuous vaxxed frolic about with the breeze on our faces without a care in the world.  Masklessness will be the new virtue-signaling and your sweaty feedbags might as well be a Trump hat!

You seem to assume that us unvaxxed are going to dutifully and voluntarily strap on our yellow star and masks every morning rather than just tell the people around us that we are fully vaccinated. You are a funny man (even if you are a tiny bit deluded.)

I think it important that the vaxxed be able to ditch them as well. And the unwashed, dangerous, dirty, and likely infected unvaxxed should be forced to wear a mask with a giant yellow star sewn to their clothing to identify them as being worthy of being assaulted righteous physical reprimands.

That is silly; we virtuous vaxxed have nothing to fear from them, if they want to coof hither and yon let them wallow in their own filth!

According to Dubbs Rabbi and Imam, that graph could just as easily be titled :Impact of covid vaccinations on morality."

Oh no that is already been addressed, home printing is the new act of resistance, furtive underground dealings in cardstock (beware, it is heavy and printed on both sides and you have to get them to line up right!) and valid facility codes and batch numbers...

If you do the right thing you don’t have to live a lie

I cant stop CONSOOOOOMING Chinese power tools tho. I should just cut out the middle man and go to Harbor Freight but their batteries suck.







WARNING! Do not buy Milwaukee Packout line it's all made in Israel

You are correct on your analysis. I already avoided the stores like the plague (or Covid.) But now even when I have to go into one, I don't browse at all. There is nothing that they offer to entice me to spend time there.

As for tools, I just purchased a few Proto hand tools and a set of Eklind hex keys. Made in the US.

Of course!  Nobody forced me to get this one.  I just hope they come up with some better amenities for the observation period in the waiting room after, where they keep an eye on you to make sure you don't keel over and croak.  Didn't even get a nice cold V8 like they used to give out at the hospital!

Of course, I hope you’re right and it used to be the case...but it doesn’t seem to be going in that direction anymore: Public shaming or even punishments (loss of employment, dwelling, travel, etc.) for the unvaxxed; rewards (those things plus money, sports tickets, etc.) for the vaxxed. Coercion is the opposite of freedom.

Screw home printing. I already had this discussion today. I am not (so far) in a Nazi state. I have no intention of presenting my papers on demand. Yup, stores or stadiums can keep me out. But see the post above. I no longer have any longing to waste my life in such places. As for the police asking to see if I am worthy of being mask free- I would laugh.*

*Understanding that while the US has just opened, most provinces have been placing more restrictions on through these dangerous summer months. I think they are saying they might lift them just in time for flu season.

Don't be silly MT. coercion is the best way to convince people to do the right thing. It helps a group to know that they are superior and dehumanize those who do not agree. Historically, that is a very important step.

*I think what bothers me is that you can see exactly what is coming and how it will play out from months away. It will not be the government who will mandate it. They will share the vaccination info with tech companies who will make vaccine passports. Stores, airlines, employers and pubs will demand that you show your passport. The government need not mandate a single thing- just provide the data and wait for private companies (who they just bailed out to the tune of trillions) to do what is "right" for society.

their science is worthless...

Don't forget the free beer and weed!

[Asuka Langley]

I don't think stores are going to get in fights with CONSOOOOOMERS over their medical records. They just want their money in exchange for cheaply made Chinese merchandise.

[Master Trollda]

No thanks. I’ve already seen Logan’s Run and I know how it ends.

So what do we think? About 3-4 weeks before total carnage?
