I don’t see anyone shaming anyone for going to work. I see people shaming other people for going on vacations, going shopping maskless, and going to clubs/bars. None of which anyone HAS to do. I know this because I’ve managed to not do it in almost a year!! Because being responsible is not limited to people with…

Yeah, I think there's a difference between like "This person went to the gym (distanced and with a mask on) and I don't think it's safe!" vs "This person flew across the country to attend a huge in-person wedding with no safety measures". I don't think judging people for having different safety protocols is…

This is not a great take.

EXACTLY. Rich and homegirl are being willfully obtuse with this shit.

Wtf is in the hipster gentrification ass coffee up in Jezebel? First Rich’s affluent ass article, now this???

My own edit- “The pandemic fucking sucks; ***hundreds of*** thousands of people have and are dying and everyone would all like it to be over as soon as possible”

“People who are extra careful can get sick, just as those who are (or appear to be) careless might.”

Taking the advice of WSB 99/100 is a terrible idea, but you can get a feel for things by reading what they’re talking about. And in this, at least so far, a ton of people have made a ton of money. I do worry about the folks selling everything they have to get in at $350 and stuff, but if the squeeze continues, as it…

We’re gonna need some smaller boats.

A huge part of the reason why...

The key thing to keep in mind is that, regardless of the wackiness of what’s going on on the /r/WSB board, the strategy here is ironclad-solid: Short-sellers got overexposed, over-bet on a struggling company to go bust faster than they naturally would, got surprised by good news, and are being pantsed as they’re…

This is literally what’s happening to a handful of stocks. The logic being that institutional short sellers will HAVE to cover exorbitant prices when their shorts expire, contractually obligated. All with the collective power of public info sharing. Everything is above board no matter how pissed the billionaires are.

I’m also struggling to see the moral quandary here. The more people vaccinated = fewer overall deaths. If the vaccines are about to expire anyway, they will be wasted.

This person:

Yeah, that’s how I’m seeing it. If the choice is somebody, anybody, getting the vaccine by chance or it’s garbage...use that shit. The more people getting vaccinated, the better. Obviously, assholes using money\connections for preferential treatment should be put in stocks in the public square and pelted with animal…

Happenstance is different than active planning. Your friend of a friend’s friend didn’t plan on getting the shot, they just happened to be there at the right time and if they didn’t get the shot it probably would have gone to waste. Better somebody get it rather than it being trashed. There’s no moral question there.…

How long should we wait? How many weeks/months do we watch writers on this site peddle populist grievance before it gets to be too much?

Historically I've never really though rts games worked well with a controller and they can run on a potato. Really no reason not to get them on pc.

So it looks like The Root has decided that the role it wants to play in political discussions going forward is Black Eeyore.

OK. So keep talking about 30 year old legislation, if it makes you somehow perversely happy.  The rest of us adults will be over here, moving on.
