Yesterday, I witnessed a guy exit a toilet stall and head straight out the door without washing his hands. These people exist out there.

There are lots of lucky people out there, but no one lives forever.

Isn’t this lingo kind of dated now?

If you feel that something violates the rules of this community, report it.

I am not asking you to wear a mask when you’re outside taking a jog, but wearing a mask in high-risk situations (crowded or poor ventilation) such as schools, public transit, and concerts can significantly reduce your risk of infection, and you should consider doing it.

Not getting sick protects your friends and family from getting sick. It is a social responsibility that other societies practice but our own society has forsaken since 2022.

I do not think there is a psychological cost to fearing COVID, because the fear is rational and justified (especially for in immunocompromised people). Fear is an emotion that keeps you away from danger. One way to keep yourself away from danger is to wear a mask and to avoid high risk situations whenever possible.

Personally, I will not stop wearing a mask until COVID is eradicated in my area. The long-term risks of COVID infection are simply too high.

For context, Chinese cops are unarmed. This is fine because people in China don’t have guns.

As a tangent, I got reminded of someone saying that the presence of 50 000 guns in China proves that gun control always fails, completely ignoring the fact that China has a population of 1 400 000 000. That is a rate of 0.000036 guns per person. In comparison, the USA has more guns than people.

if you can still die while wearing a seatbelt what’s the point

If you want privatized gains, you must accept privatized losses. No risk, no reward.

Frontovers, not backing over. The hoods are so tall that they straight up run over their own kids in their own driveways, killing them, driving forwards.

Liberals don’t actually have beliefs. To them, belief is about signaling group affiliation, not actual intellectual belief.

When a liberal says that they believe in freedom and democracy, they don’t mean that they think that freedom and democracy are the best ways to organize a society, they are merely saying that they belong to WEIRD (western, educated, industrialized, rich, and democratic) society.

Of course it’s incomprehensible for a group of people who are profoundly nihilistic that someone would actually be willing to die for what they think is right.

I’m reminded of the tale of the liberal who says big words about climate change but cannot not be arsed to give up their gas-guzzling SUV. To them, “I believe that climate change is real” is merely a statement of group affiliation (i.e. “I’m with the cool kids”), not a factual statement that implies the need for urgent action.

i hope you get scalped like those american settlers on the frontier during “peacetime”

Hitler lost WW2.

It could be AI generated

Why? Isn’t it good that Mozilla is focusing on Firefox instead of a host of random shit?

Maybe we should operate more like c/vegan where everything from omnivore apologia to overt antiveganism (analogous to the above anti-precaution/anti-max/anti-vax-apologia) is forbidden, and posting/commenting as much gets you a ban?

I agree with this. We should have at least one place where COVID can be discussed without people coming in to scold people for not kissing strangers on New Year’s Eve.

just use american spellings lol

for a more serious answer: have you switched to the new dictionary? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-use-firefox-spell-checker#w_switching-dictionaries

Like a loaf of bread?

I’m just mad that my city built a new protected bike lane along a busy road, but the air smells so bad because of car exhaust lol
