Yeah, this article is hot bullshit.

A few weeks ago, a friend told me that he was thinking of flying over the Christmas holiday to visit his grandmother ... Could the maxim “stay home” apply so neatly to him?

Yeah half of my interactions go:

You want me to be empathetic to someone who lacked the empathy to stay the fuck home and not kill someone’s grandma over a stupid social gathering. Ok. Being shamed over selfish behavior is a mild punishment.

“Shaming simply doesn’t work as a means of persuasion”

Can we talk about the other shaming of people who take the pandemic seriously? I’ve had a couple of situations where women have expressed interest in dating and as soon as I tried to have an adult conversation about the pandemic and the risks of contact they made me feel like I was overreacting and being ridiculous.…

I am gonna continue to name and shame the shit out of anyone I personally know who is being reckless in these darkest of times. If not for their own health, then for the health of anyone in their orbit.

I don’t feel bad about judging people at all during this. When I see a moron walking around the store 9 months into the pandemic with his nose sticking out of the top of his mask, then he deserves to be mentally labeled in my head as a fucking idiot.

“Over dinner with a different friend not long after, I learned that someone had termed a picnic gathering I attended...”

I do not live in a fantasy world where I know I won’t contract covid by living by the somewhat arbitrary guidelines, but I’m doing my best and I just wish everyone else was too.

“reckless and irresponsible” What about shaming for wearing a mask? 

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…

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.”

All this quarantine has taught me is: Americans are huge entitled idiots who are capable of endless levels of delusion to meet their selfish ends.

Yeah, I can’t imagine knowing his wife is out having “mindblowing” sex with some other guy is doing him any favors, either. Maybe it’s just the way she explained it but she comes across really selfish and unsupportive. She seems more concerned with the other guy’s roommate than her husband.

Don’t glorify or give these shitheads attention. Some of us are trying to not die.
