All the air and germs getting blown out the ends of the instruments. I sure wouldn't want to be in that band.

Their instruments have bell covers to prevent spread.

Its a slit that can close back up actually. Otherwise every time they play theyd have to fully take their masks off and put them back on again once the song is over.

It makes sense. When theyre not playing they need to be masked. Im a band director, so Ive seen these masks before. Theyre not as dumb as yall think at all.

Because theyre scared of actual change. The GOP ego refuses to acknowledge anything that isnt in their direct viewpoints.

They know that moderate Democrats are tame af, and have to vilify the left any way possible.

I mean, were all going to get covid right?

A fair amount will, yes. Is it risky to fly to Hawaii? Yes. Reckless? No. When I get back I will get tested multiple times before I go back to work or am around people.

Theres always a risk during a pandemic. Lol @ people who think its reckless, honestly.

I want to go to Hawaii but I hear it's a pain in the ass to get in right now

The testing requirements are insane. Have to provide a negative covid test from a Hawaii state approved tester. But you cant take the test more than 72 hours before your flight leaves.

Problem is testing is a mess in the US, and most tests are taking way longer than 3 days now. Issue is, if you get to Hawaii before you get your results, you have to quarantine for 14 days first, even if you get the negative result back like 24 hours after you get to Hawaii. Its insane.

Oh and I got randomly chosen to do a rapid test once I landed here in Hawaii, which took another 30 minutes.

Theyre being VERY protective of their island, and rightfully so IMO.

what island are you on?

I've only been to Hawaii 3 times. each time was a different island

when I was 10 I went to Oahu
when I was like 20 I think, I went to the Big Island (I liked this one best)
and when I was around 30, I went to Kauai

that was almost 10 years ago. don't know when or if I will go back again. but if I could, I'd return to the Big Island. I am not sure exactly why but I enjoyed it the most. maybe cause it's so quiet there.

Im on the Big Island! Incredible scenery here. And Mauna Kea is breathtaking. Gonna hike it tomorrow or Wednesday I believe.

Nah, as they force you to get tested multiple times to even get into the state. Instead of going to my familys and risk getting my parents sick, who are both at high risk.

Hiking and backpacking on a nearly empty island was definitely the right choice.

youd think it would be worth it just for contact tracing if they really want to keep schools open though, instead of having to quarantine everyone for 2 weeks

Most admin in school districts DONT want to keep schools open though. Most schools are being forced open from the state.

They really make you get tested on your own? I work in a nursing home and Ive been tested like 20 times for free

The teaching profession has never taken care of their teachers. The US education system was already in shambles before the pandemic, but COVID has put the final nails in the coffin.

My wife is also a teacher. They're basically having a normal school year, except they have to wear masks and use hand sanitizer.

And constantly have to wipe down literally everything in between every class period. And have large groups of kids missing from having to quarantine after being exposed to various cases. And teaching online kids AND in person kids simultaneously.

And constantly fearing that youre going to contract the virus from some kid who doesnt wanna wear a mask, or simply getting it from being stuck in the hallway during a passing period when there are hundreds of kids jammed shoulder to shoulder trying to get to their next class.

But ya otherwise totally a normal year...

So weird, think theyd test you guys at least three times a week... first test smh

my school district doesnt even offer covid tests. I did mine at a CVS and they told me not to expect results for at LEAST 5 days now, as demand for testing has exploded in the last week.

so basically covid tests are useless now unless you wanna pay 75-250 for a rapid test. Awesome,..

That fucked up you still doing in person classes. Thought everyone in US was doing it online.

lol about half the in my area of the US have discontinued online learning and forced kids to in person classes. My states education agency just passed something thatll allow schools to kick kids off online learning if theyre failing even a single class.

its all backwards and beyond fucked up.

That wasnt pleasant. That nose swab is no fun, ugh.

I dont have any symptoms, but am a teacher and had a student test positive, and 14 of my other students had to quarantine because of it.

Really hope its negative. Would suck that my quarantine would be while Im already off for thanksgiving break hah

Who gave you the right to judge?

Also you still haven't answered. Yes, I have your opinion. I seek to know why you have that opinion. You really seem to be stalled on this "stripping away humanity" aspect and haven't elaborated.

If you can't answer any further than that, if the answer is "I don't know", then that's fine.

You're biased and judging for reasons you can't explain and we just have to live with that.

Everyone judges. Thats how life and world works. Literally everyone is biased. Different perspectives create different viewpoints. Im expressing mine, but it seems youre offended by it as youre so incredibly combative.

Makes me curious if you were honest about the question I asked you regarded paying for sex, honestly.

I do if I have some and I give them cash, why? It's not like I believe them, but if they use that money for their own destruction then so be it

I don't feel good about it, but shit I can definitely give you a dollar if you ask me

Why not help them out by going to a nearby restaurant and getting them food instead? Having had multiple friends either die or have their lives ruined from addiction, I can tell you that giving the homeless money directly is one of the worst ways you can enable them to continue their self destructive habits.

Using homelessness as an insult shows how much you really care about the homeless. Pretty cool shit, dude. Btw poverty and homelessness isn't a result of an individual's bad decisions but rather a systematic issue.

Also nothing wrong with people trying to get that bag in this fucking shit ass economy. All the power to them as long as they aren't actively hurting anybody.

Its like you didnt even fully read through my original post. You must be struggling in the reading comprehension category, it seems.

Some won't get it without paying. Or some don't want to bother with the effort to get it without paying for it. But I guess the idea is that you find those kinds of people sad and pathetic. I guess I'm just not sure why it's seen as sad and pathetic.

I'm curious, do you feel similar about casual sex also?

Seducing and attracting a mate are the 2 of the most primal/animalistic instincts we have as humans. Youre stripping away your humanity by paying for sex.

I dont see casual sex as the same thing at all. Its adding a monetary value to sex thats what distorts and muddies the waters entirely.

Casual sex is great between two consenting adults. Im a big fan lol

Against my better judgment, I've scoured this topic and you've never clarified why paying for sex is sad and pathetic. You just state it like we're supposed to assume it's true.

I never stated I was right or wrong. I was stating an opinion. Congrats on wasting your time to try prove something that was literally just an opinion this entire time.

Just finished it, and holy shit. Really damn good movie telling a story I was embarrassingly clueless about.

Weird how incredibly relevant it is to whats happening this year with protests/cops. I guess it was all filmed last year and was slated for a theatrical release earlier this year until COVID happened. But it was just put on Netflix.

Dude it took us 70 posts to wrest from you that this topic stems from the fact that you're against sex work in general. You don't get to say that you've been clear.

The closest you came to explaining yourself is:

Why does the idea of money exchanging over "something instinctual" repel you?

You can just say "I don't know" and we can leave it there if you want.

Have already stated multiple times why. Its sad and pathetic to spend money on sex. Its literally that simple, but you must be one of the guys dropping $1,000/month on Only Fans girls.

You're spending a lot more time on what you're not saying than what you are.

I mean I don't deny that sex isn't just for enjoyment, but it is certainly for enjoyment.
