We had 2 bylaw enforcement officers come into my workplace today. They gave my coworker a fine for $890 because he pulled his mask aside to yell over to someone else. Mind you they were about 15 meters or so apart, and we were in the back of the store.
I love this place. Every time I come here something makes me honestly laugh out loud.
Let's just assume for a second here that this is indeed the goal; normal healthy people getting the shot and going home to their families to transmit it to others for the sake of "herd immunity". Some article I read said that this vaccine is the only way to reach "herd immunity". This would be incredibly fucked up if true.
Wow, most of the replies on twatter are actually pretty based. The algorithm must be drunk.
Since all this bullshit started, there's been something nagging at me from the back of my mind. Since when is it mine, or anybody else's responsibility to make anyone else feel safe. What works for me might not work for you or vice versa.
Say you were walking home, and you come across a dark alley you could cross through to get home faster. Sure, it's spooky that way, and if you take the longer well-lit way you might feel safer. I'd take the alley. Not everyone will.
Like if I were to go into a store crowded with people not wearing masks, I might actually want to wear one. Why? Because I'd feel better. I'm sure as hell not going to tell everyone else what they're doing might affect me. I can also choose to turn around and walk right the fuck out. Basic civil liberties here, it's not a hard concept to grasp, but here we are.
The fact that probably half of the general population's opinion of you is riding on whether you are, or aren't wearing a piece of fabric on your face, and the speed of which said opinion went balls to the wall crazy is incredibly frightening to me. What the fuck happened?
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result
I posted that in my local subreddit weeks ago and got downvoted hard lmfao
This is pretty messed up. You'd have to be really desperate and/or crazy to bring a baby into an environment like that.
