You could start by telling off any idiot that wears a mask. Especially if they are doing it to virtue signal.
You don't need to be rude. A simple 'sorry I don't speak to people who wear masks' to the Karen who loudly announces she is putting on her mask to pump gas or whatever does wonders.
I've quit tipping any delivery drivers that show up with masks, or who do dumbass shit like drop my food in the snow for 'contactless delivery'. I've tripled my tips for those with a smile on their faces who hand me my food in a civilized manner.
As for vaccines, I wouldn't worry to much. It'll be at least a year before there are enough vacced people for it to be an issue. And there are enough regular normal non-RNA vaccines in the pipeline that you'll be able to choose something as harmless as the flu vaccine.
I am far more worried about the world turning into a non-gendered masked version of the middle-east than I am about vaccines.
I am oil and gas. I am fire-fighting trained. H2S trained. Emergency underwater re-breather trained. And a few other things.
We do daily safety meetings. Pre-task safety meetings. We have hazard-cards so people can anonymously rat out our co-workers. We do online training. We do annually internationally certified courses. Fit tests. Tailgate safety meetings before every task. Rescue drills.
I still have to discipline people to shave their beards. The guard shacks even have safety razors and make people shave before they enter location.
We still have situations where somebody succumbs to H2S and two more people drop dead trying to save them because they are too fucking stupid to mask up properly. These are highly trained people. Professionals with engineering degrees, journeyman tradespeople....
People are fucking dumb. The idea that masking up a 3-year-old before you send her to preschool......
Considering that every single study for the past 150 years has said the exact same thing: Certain masks work to various levels of effectiveness when used for very specific tasks, when properly fitted, for short durations of time, and when used by people who are properly trained how to use them.
They all cherry-pick out the line in the conclusion that says something along the lines of "masking up the entire population at large would be fucking retarded because most people are fucking stupid and it would have no fucking effect on the spread of disease".
You are not alone.
I'm going to a hottub party at my neighbour's for NYE. We have barely even spoken before. I don't even like my neighbour. I despise hottubs. I would normally be in bed by 10pm on NY.
It is literally the last thing I would normally do. Normally I might have a quiet beer & burger at a pub by myself and watch the last 10 minutes of a hockey game.
Fuck'em. I hope we end up in a drunken champagne orgy on the Xmas floor.
If anybody else wants to call, I would suggest taking the opposite approach.
Quote the cop. And ask why she used the word fuck so much. And if she was trained to use the word fuck during the process of arrest.
You should be able to legitimately get about 5 fucks in just quoting the cop before you get hung-up on.
I'd go with somebody like Alexander Mackenzie. Yah, maybe he is technically a Scott, but he explored the entirety of Canada in the 1790s.
All 3 oceans. The Peace River. The Mackenzie to the Arctic ocean. The Fraser into Bella Coola.
He did it all in a fucking Canoe. Can any of you fags tell me you have seen as much of Canada as him even in a Air Canada Dash-8?
I called the commission complaint line. I assume I just got the secretary, so it is kinda like berating a minumum wage worker. But who cares.
I said something along the lines of their behaviour was a fucking disgrace. She had the fucking gall to tell me to watch my language. The whole call lasted about 8 seconds before we both hung-up.
Not all of us. I fight however I can.
The problem is, even if you win, you still lose. Order from Amazon instead of wearing the mask - you lose. Pick-up from Walmart instead of wearing the mask - you lose. Walk into Walmart without a mask and get into verbal/physical alterations - you lose. Take a piss on the corner of the Gas Station instead of walking inside to the toilet - that is about as close as you can get to winning.
Personally, I am in a privileged position where I can hide out at my log cabin at the lake - but I still lose because that is what they want me to do.
It is a combination of malice, incompetence & now it has become a religion.
Everybody is using it to their own advantage, whatever that might be. Politicians are using it to get elected. Teacher unions are using it to reduce class sizes. Amazon & Walmart are using it to destroy small business. Big pharma is about to make billions. Obviously CNN & Twitter and the like have found the next best thing since Trump to drive up advertising bucks.
Ignoring any conspiracy theories (and some of them are undoubtedly true), the whole fucking world has just gone insane again.
Listening to the UN continually dial back their lockdown recommendations, it is clear that not even they wanted it to go this far. They wanted the entire world wearing masks to show political solidarity for globalism, global warming, etc etc. Not the total fucking collapse of the world economy.
I think everybody sorta understands that.
But those of us who disagree with what is happening politically think they should be overcapacity. Doctors should be working 16-hour days. Patients should be getting triaged in the parking lot. If we are in the worst pandemic of human-kind (we're not) it should look like an episode of MASH. There should be ambulance school-buses & helicopters full of patients that show up at 3am and air-raid sirens waking the doctors out of bed.
Even Trump claiming that 'not one single person who needed a ventilator didn't get one....' That is fucking ridiculous. If you lived to 99-years-old it is your time to die. You should be left to die in the fucking schoolbus, not put on a fucking ventilator only to die two-weeks later.
Good luck with that.
It owns brands which own brands which own brands. It manufactures brands for other brands who can't make their own.
You may think you are boycotting it by buying some no-name laundry detergent, but you are probably not. And it would take days to research every specific product to make sure.
Gillette is owned by Procter & Gamble. Half the products in your home are probably P&G.
They own like 19 different brands of laundry detergent. A dozen brands of soap. Half the shampoos on the market. Diapers. Tampons. Toothpaste. They own it all. Like 50% of the aisles in your grocery store.
It is impossible to boycott, so it is kinda retarded to try.
1 Billionish people in China eat communally. They put all the dishes on a rotating platter at the center of the table. They take one chopstick mouthful at a time from the center of the table.
I know there is some political hate for China. But they ain't dying en-mass because they eat a steamed fish with chopsticks out of the same dish at the dinner table.
I hate this kinda bullshit $16 dollar orange juice headline. It wasn't even him. It was him and his entire staff.
That is just what it costs. I have had lots of years where I broke $250k in expense cheques. That is working for one of the cheapest fucking companies on the planet where everybody flies economy.
Literally nothing in this shot makes any sense.
She's wearing gloves. But also some sort of gigantic iWatch that could never be properly sterilized without damaging it. She is wearing it on the wrong hand.
She is supposedly giving a injection through a band-aid, which of course would never be done. She is either wasting a syringe or has pulled one out of its packaging, which is now less sterile that will be used on the next patient. The room is cluttered to the fucking max with balloons and advertising shit that obviously can't get sterilized.
And there are at least three fucking people in close proximity, deliberately extending the duration of the procedure for the purposes of a propaganda selfie. Is the nurse a hunchback? Why is she standing as far away from her patient as possible, while doing all of the above?
It is so fucking stupid.
Drunks don't bar-hop. Regular adults out for a meal don't bar-hop. College students who are in a new city play bar-hopping games to get to know the city, and then even they shortly settle down into their preferred haunts.
The only thing closing down bars accomplishes is driving everybody behind private doors.
And you are missing serious concepts regarding sublimation and what happens when you put frozen CO2 into a sealed container. You are ignoring that almost all of the energy is required for the phase change.
You sound like a 1st year engineering student? Anyway, I ain't going down your rabbit hole. I was just making an off-the-cuff remark about Turkeys because it's Christmas.
It was a seasonal Christmas reference, not a PHd dissertation.
But, just try it. If you take a standard motel ice-bucket, fill it up with ice from the ice machine, and put it in your motel-room fridge it will stay frozen for days. I say that as a drunk who has done it often
It takes very little to keep something frozen that is already frozen.
Sorry, but you are being nuts.
If you take a turkey out of the freezer at -7C it takes days to thaw out in the fridge at 7C.
If you take vaccine at -100C and pack it with dry ice at -80C it takes days for it to thaw out.
And you have to remember, the goal is for it to thaw out. They obviously can't inject you with the Devil's sperm if it is solid like a rock.
Would love to if you can organize 10-20 of us to split the costs of a private jet. I refuse to mask up to fly commercial.
