There is no “vacuum of information” just now being filled. We’ve known since late spring or early summer of last year exactly what everyone needs to do to be responsible. If you’re going to be completely disingenuous in your arguments, then you deserve the “stay home asshole” response.

The lack of a perfect option doesn’t absolve you from trying your best. There’s a whole spectrum of ways to behave, so let’s all try to do better. That’s what living in a community is all about.

The pandemic is NOT the same as climate change. That’s an utter fallacy. One person’s choices have essentially zero effect on climate change (unless that person is CEO of Chevron) because the problem is systemic and individual contributions won’t affect the outcome in a measurable way.

That’s the exact opposite of what I’m suggesting. Lacking official leadership on an issue of public health, you as a member of a community have some options: 1) think critically about the issue, research the best behavior you can engage in, and encourage others in your community to help out or 2) throw up your hands…

“that forcing a virus to be an individual responsibility instead of a community one”

When a parent is legally, financially, and verbally abusing your partner, you don’t need to speak up publicly? Just keep it to yourself? That’s fucking twisted as hell. That’s exactly how abusers retain power and continue their abuse.

Yup. Even 50% of doctors graduated in the bottom half of their class.

I’ve never even heard of this practice. Sounds utterly insane - I’d tell them to eat shit.

Ugh. Watch the documentary before spouting off a bunch of nonsense. Her dad wouldn’t be within 50 miles of her career if the court hadn’t appointed him conservator. He’s a manipulative piece of shit, and she has consistently told the court she’s frightened of him.

But... he IS a huge dick. When did telling the truth that literally everyone agrees with become “cringe”?

I’ve been treating the whole games industry this way for years now. I’ve only bought a couple games at full retail price in the past decade - everything else I wait until it’s deeply on sale, usually $20 or less. And I wait at least until the first official price-drop to buy a new console.

No. It can be filibustered, so it’ll never happen.

Why would Dominion ever offer to settle a slam-dunk case out of court that affects their reputation and ability to sell their product at all to anyone? The fact that you think their name being “out of the news” matters at all shows you don’t understand what’s happening here. They MUST disprove these claims…

That’s just one of the many paradoxes that comes with being involved in a fundamentally self-loathing subculture.

Self-identifying as a “memelord” is already so cringe as to annihilate your credibility on the issue.

Counterpoint: yes it is. It’s an absolute hell-hole.

“How is it fair”

So you’re suggesting no one should ever do anything good unless they do everything perfectly? That’s fucking stupid. Have a better take - this one is boring as hell.

-eyeroll emoji- Grow up.

I remember the Zune days pretty vividly, and the consensus was decidedly NOT that it was a “cool sounding name.”
