I'm not going to moderate this shit because it's not against the rules, but there should be an aspect of self-policing now that players are going to be directly associated with the site. Use your brain.32 points

My unvaxxed father-in-law is in the hospital with COVID. My wife spoke with him today: vaccines will cause immune problems in the future, he got it from a vaxxed person, it was lab created, democrats are in on it.... It's so heartbreaking how deep the hole of misinformation is and how much suffering it's causing. Honestly, he's a victim of it and he'll never even understand it. He can't say two words without running out of breath; he's scared and keeps breaking down in tears; yet a made-up enemy is what he wastes his limited words on. He's been lied to over and over and he's been given over to his hate, and now he's suffering for it but it's all he has. It's so heartbreaking and so destructive. My wife texted a group of church friends from where we used to live. We use the group text to share life updates, people ask for prayer, keep in touch with some of our closest friends, ect. My wife asked for prayer for her very sick father. She can unburden herself from the situation and people can remind her that they love her and care for her. It should be a beautiful thing: I'm worried about my dad; ok, I love you and I'm going to petition the creator of the universe on your behalf. Even if you don't believe, it should be a beautiful expression of care and concern for a dear friend. The same couple that told us to take the horse paste when we got COVID mentioned the horse paste and then sent some link with "good medical info" from the AAPS. A little research shows that group to be a libertarian political advocacy group pretending to be a medical organization. They're anti-vax on steroids and dressed up in a lab coat. I'm all for exploring any political solution to national healthcare -- put it all on the table with regards to politics -- but how far down the rabbit hole of political degeneracy do you have to be to respond to a family crisis with that garbage? Even if your politics are the right big picture solution, how dark and twisted must your heart be to see that as an answer to "pray for my dad, I think he's dying?" "Can I tell you about the libertarian solution to healthcare? Here's some lies about medicine that'll kill you but align with my political views." It's so broken and deranged, and these were always such wonderful people before.25 points

Alright, we have facts that can be readily observed and proven or disproven. Trump did not win the election, there was no voter fraud (and never has been meaningfully), Obama was born in Hawaii, John Kerry actually did earn those medals, there were never any WMDs and Saddan Hussein didn’t have fuck to do with 9/11. And there are phenomena that can be only understand through the scientific method, but have been so thoroughly researched that they are tantamount to fact: climate change is real and caused by humans, and humans evolved from apes. There have been hundreds of think-pieces over the past five years about the need for a common understanding of facts to have a social discourse, so I won’t go into that. But one can absolutely be comfortable in the conviction that another’s belief, perception or skepticism is incorrect. I’m not going to respect a person’s decision to deny the unanimity of modern medicine while they go to the fucking Tractor Supply and fight for the last of the apple-flavored horse dewormer. But more importantly, this ignorance (and that’s what it is) is the product of decades of misinformation by the conservative movement. You had, incredibly, never heard of Emmitt Till - do you know think the CRT thread would have gone differently if you had?21 points

Big hearty, "Fuck unvaccinated people." Just got my test back—Covid positive. For those curious I'm: J/J back in April. Since last Th night I've felt like I had a bad cold. Warm but not feverish. Congested nose but no shortness of breath. No loss taste. Cough was minimal, just clearing out phlegm after taking DayQuil/mucinex. General lethargy. On the upside, actually feeling better today. Slowly feeling normal again so thank vaccine for working like it's supposed to! But still, fuck those unvaccinated idiots.20 points

And yet, for decades we have forced children to be vaccinated to attend schools and we all but eliminated some diseases. And yet we regulate the hell out of the women’s reproductive decisions as well. But suddenly, this is personal? bullshit. It is political. It is political because Bad actors exploited idiots.17 points

The mini- super spreader event (MIL's women's fellowship meeting) continues to be the gift that keeps on giving. MIL says she's "recovered" but still sounds like shit when we talk to her. BIL is hoping to be released from the ICU later this week. He's got blood clots in his lungs so his journey is far from over. And of the 10 other women who were in the fellowship meeting, all have tested positive and one died suddenly in her sleep last weekend. Autopsy confirmed it was covid. It took her out in about 10 days. Mrs GOTJ is at her breaking point as her mom is now actively blaming the disease on the "scientists." "They're trying to play God when only He can manipulate life." Apparently this means that developing vaccines is a sin, and we need to just wait until the holy ghost gets off his ass and starts miracling our genetic codes to fight this virus.17 points

Meanwhile, this was never a problem for the measles vaccine, or chickenpox vaccine, or the rubella vaccine, or the smallpox vaccine, or the polio vaccine or any number of other vaccines that parents have routinely forced into their children's bodies since vaccines were developed. As a country, we also have no concern about forcing a shit ton of vaccines into the bodies of every immigrant who applies for a green card. I think my husband had to get 10 vaccines as part of his green card application. I don't buy this bullshit excuse, because it is bullshit and we as a country have a proven track record of not caring about personal choice when it comes to vaccines going way way back to before I was born. Hell, I don't have a smallpox vaccine scar on my arm because so many people got the vaccine that smallpox was eradicated in the US. That didn't happen because of people who needed to do their own research, it happened because people listened to actual experts and did the right thing for their countrymen. I'm not in the mood to excuse the people today who have chosen that they are going to selfishly ignore the experts in the name of choice, when in reality they are just scared of fucking needles. Also, if I had a dollar for every time someone claimed a slippery slope was coming I'd be Surly .0001%.16 points

FAA should mandate vaccines for all customer facing employees of airlines. And require vaccinations for the public to fly. I'm done with the carrot. Too many fucking stupid people in this country have shown us that the carrot doesn't work for ~40% of the country. It's time for the stick. No vaccine, no flying. No vaccine, no movies. No vaccine, no gyms or restaurants.14 points

The problem is we have reached the point where the only reasonable discussion you can have with people who align with mainstream GOP beliefs and practices is one where you explain that they should stop being such a fucking idiot and that their understanding of reality is completely fucked. But you can't do that in a professional setting when there are plenty of daywalker republicans who manage to show up to work and not say shit like "Fauci orchestrated the pandemic" or "attempted overthrow of our system of government at its seat of power is no big deal". Because you might end up telling Stew to fuck his own face and then there are problems and HR, etc. So people don't talk.14 points

why stop at vaccines? HAVEN'T YOU HEARD THEY'RE CHLORINATING AND FLOURIDATING THE WATER SUPPLIES???? They're ENRICHING our FLOUR??? They're IODIZING our SALT??? MY BODY MY CHOICE RARAAHGHGBAGAGGLY It just seems wildly inconsistent to be perfectly fine with the rest of the societal "chemicals" that we all encounter for the sake of public safety, and to refuse to get a fucking vaccine - even the J&J vaccine, which isn't """gEnE tHeRaPy""". Stop making excuses for mental toddlers. Stop arguing a slippery slope in bad faith and intellectual dishonesty. If people like you had the mic back in the day, we never would have beaten polio. And BECAUSE of people like you, we still haven't been able to eradicate measles and it's even had a resurgence.14 points

I have been a massive proponent of Vaccine Passports. There should be a national one. Every state should have to submit their vaccination data into it, and it should allow the vaccine to be verifiable with a quick scan. That would take out all the fakes and impose consequences on people who are not vaccinated. If you choose not to be vaccinated, you can go to the grocery store, the drug store, and other places where you are not spending massive amounts of time (I would prefer they stay out of Department Stores and specialty stores, but I believe that would be difficult) but you have to wear a mask at all times. Refusal to wear a mask results in a 100 fine. Second time 1000, third time, your ass goes to jail. You cannot, if you choose not to be vaccinated, fly on a plane, go to a concert, a sporting event, go inside a bar, inside a restaurant (outdoors might be fine, but with as contagious as Delta is, my preference is they stay the fuck at home), the gym, or any other place that might be fun. I would also like for employers to force mandates. You want to work for this company, you get the fucking vaccine. It is time to stop coddling these people. Bring the fucking sticks.13 points

The no vaccine passports really pisses me off. If a private business wants to only allow vaccinated people in, then I support their right to do that. I would definitely support that business. The Republican Party likes to talk about personal responsibility, but personal responsibility only exists when it negatively impacts poor and/or non-whites. I support an individual’s choice to not get vaccinated. However, that choice carries consequences. They should be forced to bear the consequences of that choice - lost jobs, no ability to travel via air/public transportation, increased medical costs, etc. That’s the essence of personal responsibility. Fuck these stupid assholes who continue to support these ridiculous politicians.13 points

If you live in Austin and want to see an amazing spectacle, go to Capitol Plaza in the center of town at about 8:00 p.m. tonight. For about an hour you'll see millions of purple martins coming in to roost overnight in the trees in the parking lot. I was there last night and, although I'm not the world's best videographer, managed to take these short videos. I've never seen anything like it. There were some children in our group and they were pretty blown away, too. I am told that they will only be there for a few more days before they begin migrating south.Hopefully, y'all can view these as embedded videos but, if not, here are two links: Purple Martins 1 Purple Martins 212 points

No, they shouldn't be forced to get the vaccine. But they should not be allowed to go around endangering others at grocery stores, in mass transit, and other communal areas. And it shouldn't be such a fucking pearl clutch to propose such a thing by requiring vaccination and proof of vaccination to use those community resources and services. While you completely ignored my other point on water treatment chemicals, I'll play ball with you around "choice". These nutjobs who refuse to get vaccinated and/or wear a facemask don't have to buy groceries or use public/mass transit or have access to any community services. It's their choice to stay outside of all that. But they shouldn't be able to have their cake and eat it too, while spreading plague to the rest of us just trying to get back to fucking normal.12 points

Wtf is this bullshit? The tensions haven’t dissipated much. There’s still anger within the conference about how this all went down. Those two schools have done irreparable damage to so many long-standing and previously close relationships. “It’s difficult to be betrayed by people that you call friends,” Bowlsby said last month. “There’s a right way and a wrong way to do this, and OU and Texas did it as deceptively as they possibly could.” Bowlsby long considered Texas AD Chris Del Conte and Oklahoma AD Joe Castiglione to be two of his closest friends in the business. Their decision to bolt for the SEC without warning or explanation stung a lot of their peers within the conference. Full transparency can’t be expected given what they were planning, but leaders in the Big 12 felt they were owed a lot more than what they got: a no-show for the key July 22 meeting (citing “conflicts”) and a pointless July 25 videoconference with Bowlsby and the Big 12’s executive committee one day before Texas and Oklahoma sent their exit letter. Why in the hell would we tell anyone any earlier? So they can try to find a way to stop it or otherwise fuck it up? We've been down that road before. The conference is getting four years' notice (until we find a legal solution to do it sooner). We don't owe anyone anything more. Any one of the Irate Eight who says they would have done this differently in our position is lying. The whining about the lack of transparency is just playing to the masses who are happy to demonize UT for pretty much anything.9 points
