| Topic | What really pisses me off about Republicans and Covid right now..: |
| Shadow Don 07/23/21 1:01:46 PM #13 | I look at the data every day. The data pretty clearly indicates that this is the worst epidemic/pandemic in over a century and if not for vaccines we could very easily reach 10s of millions dead around the world. Individual mortality isn't the only thing that makes an infectious disease dangerous, often times transmissibility is more important. Theres a reason why covid has killed 100x people than the last few major ebola outbreaks despite the fact that ebola is like 1000x deadlier than covid in terms of case-mortality ratios. --- "The soul in the darkness sins, but the real sinner is he who caused the darkness." - Victor Hugo |

The chances of a person dying form COVID who doesn't have multiple factors such as overweight, a smoker, obese, or old is less than 1%. These people don't care about COVID or getting a vaccine because they arent afraid. they don't care that they could spread it to people who are vulnerable, because they are selfish and evil 1) just under 1% mortality is a devastating number for an infectious disease that has the potential to infect a billion or more people. 2) it doesn't just kill.

Perfect example why freedom is a bit overrated and why some freedoms should not be allowed to exist for the collective well being of mankind. I genuinely don't know why shit like this is even protected by free speech. It should be considered a threat of violence.

| Shadow Don 07/03/21 5:58:21 PM #16 | Zikten posted... I dont know why people hate Alien 3. In terms of horror it's closer to the original movie than Aliens. The only bad thing about Alien 3 is how it deals with the fate of the other survivors of Aliens You pretty much nailed the reason why. Normally I can set aside my biases and be objective as possible but they butchered what was a perfect ending to one of the most iconic sci-fi movies of all time.

I still dont get how a trumper literally said if trump isnt reinstated as president by mid august, there will be civil war, is not arrested. Never-mind that one. Check out what Steve Bannon said in the days following the election when it started becoming apparent that Trump was going to lose to Biden. As you know he was a former advisor to Trump and currently has a massively popular conservative podcast. Well... he literally called for the execution of Dr. Fauci and FBI director Wray. Not some vague threat of civil war or saying "we need to fight!". He specifically called for the murder of Fauci and the FBI director and right now he is one of the most popular conservative podcast hosts in America. Shezarr posted... Like tankies have literally no presence in American politics. Fascists and white supremacists have a strong one. Pretty much.

It's not that trump had a few gaffes throughout his presidency, it's that throughout his presidency just about everything that came out of his mouth was lies or utter nonsense.

When I was job hunting full time I would have a generic resume that I would apply with to like 20-30 jobs a day. Then I would try to have 3-5 jobs that I would send a more tailored resume + cover letter to.

Because its not the 1950s anymore and serious career worthy jobs tend to have hundreds, sometimes thousands, of applicants.

| Topic | The job hunting process has become laughably ridiculous |
| Shadow Don 06/24/21 10:29:56 AM #56 | Finding my first job after college was like the most soul crushing experience I've ever had in my life. Started having anxiety levels so bad that I couldn't fall asleep. I eventually got a job after like 1000+ applications. It was pretty low pay but they basically spent the first few months training me in data science and I have since moved up to a much better position. It wasn't a job I found on any recruiting site, I straight up emailed some random researcher/professor and told him I was interested in his work and sent him my resume. Edit: Also, I recommend everyone just completely ignore the "1-3 years experience" part on most job applications. Experience doesn't matter for entry level stuff and if you have some of the relevant coursework you will at the very least get interviews. --- "The soul in the darkness sins, but the real sinner is he who caused the darkness." - Victor Hugo |

Think of how many lives we could save that way. Unlike cancer and heart disease, Covid isn't a broad category of diseases that are an unavailable consequence of humanity up until the moment we discovery immortality. Heart disease also kills more per Americans per year than WW2. I guess WW2 wasn't a big deal then? Both WW2 and Covid were/are acute threats that require an organized and dramatic response. Also, we actually do respond to acute causes of heart disease and cancer.

Nah, for something to unify the country, it would have to be something that is so disastrous that the attempt to politicize it would be seen through by the masses. It would be something so devastating that even corrupt politicians would perhaps think of the good of humanity rather than their own self interests. At 600k+ deaths I want you to list me more destructive events in American history. Theres like 2 I think? Covid was neither of those things. Statistically, Covid is a beefed up flu.

These are just basic historical and economic facts. CRT is an academic field typically studied as like... an upper/graduate level poli-sci course or in fucking law school.

First off, the idea that Christians wouldn't be shrieking to the heavens if this were to happen is hysterically dumb. We are talking about the same group of people who collectively had a mental breakdown over the publisher of Dr. Seuss making a business decision. Secondly, if we took this to its final conclusion where anyone could discriminate against anyone for religious reasons or whatever, it wouldn't be that Christians and LGBT+ people suffer equally or are equally prosperous, and the free market wouldn't fix anything. The society that we would be living in is the one we had pre civil rights. Basically LGBT+ are shunned and terrorized out of existence and evangelical Christians rule over our society.

They also mention that there's a wonderful cake shop literally across the street. Yup. That's pretty much exactly the point. There are some problems the free market can fix but this simply is not one of them. What conservatives are really pushing for is the "freedom" to basically shun groups they don't like out of existence. Too many people responded to this situation back in 2012 like "who cares it's just a cake shop, go to another one!", but the problem is a SC decision could potentially have much farther reaching consequences. If the SC gets stacked with 9 conservative justices and another case like this makes it up there it is entirely possible we end up with it being legal to totally refuse any kind of service to LGBT+ people for "religious freedom." Basically LGBT+ would all have to go back into the closet if they want to survive. That's what conservatives want but they package it as "freedom from government regulation."

You are missing the point entirely or you are a conservative lunatic/troll. Of course if you are buying a tiered wedding cake you should look into the place to make sure they actually make good cakes. The other dipshit poster wasn't suggesting that. He was saying the transgender person should have checked to see that the cake shop in question wouldn't discriminate against them. That is not something people normally have to do everyday. You are saying that it is reasonable to check reviews of a business in regards to their product quality and then concluding that it is also totally reasonable for LGBT+ people to have to check businesses to make sure they won't be discriminated against. --- "The soul in the darkness sins, but the real sinner is he who caused the darkness." - Victor Hugo |
