The ruling has not been put in writing. North Carolina Republicans plan to appeal the decision to a higher court.

Hah, the claim they somehow “fixed” an inherently racist law is so typically Republican.

Because their freedom trumps our freedom. Always. And if we ask them to respect our freedom to not be breathed upon by what is at that point a biological weapon traveling inside them, they will lose their fucking minds and violently protest our stomping on their rights.

Yep! I’ve got a pharmacist friend, and he is getting so, so fucking tired of people coming in maskless asking for COVID tests. “Hi, I think I might have a supremely contagious deadly disease, may I loudly breathe on you and your customers whilst I confirm my suspicion?” It’s amazing how selfish stupidity makes you,…

Prayer is fine and dandy until it replaces logic and reason. Use a mask and pray it work. Get the vaccine and pray you don’t break through with Covid. Sending thoughts and prayers to mass shooting victims while you prevent any common sense gun regulations is one of the biggest dick moves of all though. It’s truely a…

That’s just the way it is.  Prayer is the ultimate false positive. 

I especially love the conservative haters of science (masks/Vaccines) that get sick, show up at a hospital so science can cure them.

Ignoring basic logic eh? Just like the vaccines, masks are not 100% effective. Allowing kids to walk around without masks is more dangerous than having them all masked. It’s better then nothing. 

Pretty much. The whole reason societies have laws is because most people *WON’T* do the right thing reliably. They have to be coerced into it, often by force, and punished harshly when they don’t...and if they get away with it, it just encourages them, others like them, to do it more often.

The argument against Libertarianism in a nutshell. All you have to do is wait for a Black Friday sale or an Easter egg hunt to see that grown adults will reduce anything to fist fights. The last year and a half has shown us how selfish, stupid, petty and violent a large swath of our society is.

Trump won Florida by over 250K votes. DeSantis only won by 30K votes. If DeSantis were running that election against the same opponent this year, he would almost certainly lose as his popularity has tanked due to his Coronavirus policies. His actions (and inaction) would only appeal to the most rabid, “everyone can die…

So. Banning mask mandates in schools are there for the kids. But if you violate the law we will cut funding for your schools...that are there for the kids.

“But there’s no data for that, it’s just how people feel.”

Conservative politicians know this will end up in their state’s supreme court (eventually US supreme court) where they will lose, but the amount of media attention they get “owning the libs” in the process will be priceless. By the time the next election rolls around they’ll be taking all the credit for something they…

The only thing about Wiffle House is that they’re open at two in the morning.

None of us are 21yo professional athletes. It would be funny to imagine how many of us could have beaten her if given her training schedule and resources through college, but that’s a big hypothetical.

I think a large part none of her team spoke up is that they knew it would look transparent to only complain about a rule after it caused them a problem.

“If you’ve never been to a Waffle House, just imagine a gas station bathroom that sells waffles.”

This goes to show the media will hype anything out of proportion. I just hope she rebounds in some type of way though. 

And you always believe the white one.
