I'm confused, but I am not mad at you. And I respect you. And your beliefs and feelings.

Hope this helps.

It doesn't.

The threads will even anger the mods and potentially get me IP banned for life. It got even worse when they began cracking down on transesesses posts.

I don't want you to be banned. That is just me though, and I understand if you do. I don't want to be banned either. I also don't like tiptoeing around. Though I don't have a particular desire to go out of my way and do bannable things. Though I may impulsively post pictures of crazy rocks from time to time that make me go [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] aswell.

I like shoes.

It's hard to tell what precisely will get one banned sometimes, outside of the established rules about racism and irl stuff. I think it's mostly the evoked emotions. It still all feels very much "brain worms".

Except for all those nursing home people. They definitely died in vain. I mean yes, small positive cause it freed up beds for the next boatload of octogenarians, but as far as 'for the greater good' not so much.

But the dead truck drivers and cashiers and nurses? Those people were told get your ass to work no matter what and they did. Those guys who landed in Normandy were in the same Higgins boat and those guys were heroes and they have monuments so why not one for the 'incredible people'?

Also, we need stuff that can be pulled down by future retards and we're running out of statues.

I'm ok with the stance, that i just don't fucking care, and its not worth putting the rest of our lives on hold.

Virologists wear fucking hazmat suits with oxygen tanks when dealing with virii; like some paper mask, or bandana is going to do anything.

Pandora's box is already open. STFU and move forward with the rest of your life, already.
We've already come to terms with people like you. In fact, it doesn't even phase us when one of you morons gets your family member sick and they die on a ventilator anymore. You will have to deal with that. And if you don't give a fuck, then that makes two of us. That's the harsh reality at this point. We can only do so much.

Should I be terrified or cynical. I have a hard time parsing abliteral non-verbose, simplistic, minimalistic language.
I hope that clarifies things for you.

Yup. I still believe in dinosaurs though.


Look it's no great sin to care for the survivors and the living and mercifully lay to rest the already dead without further taxing a crumbling civilization or empowering the governments presiding over the fall.

If I go to the store I will wear my mask and wash my hands really good for 20 seconds.

People are going to die. Poor people. Old. The infirm. The mentally ill. There is no cure. It's going to get worse as we have generally wrecked most Americans immune systems. We live in pollution. We chug down poisoned food. We already don't get exercise.

No one is entitled to survive this. But the first people to get free aka subsidized vaccines will be healthcare, the rich, and those who directly feed and support them.

Meanwhile in Flint...

It's unreasonable to be mad at the barbarian who doesn't even have the means to really care. They're grandmother probably didn't make it past 60, their favorite brother, cousin, lover, bestfriend probably died overseas. They are well aware how painful and real death is.

And how death comes to all. It's said it's the greatest equalizer of them all.

Vitamin C, K, E. (They work best from food rather than pills). Sunshine. And dopamine or happiness are the weapons we have at hand. If you can't use those, you're already dead.

I have to vehemently disagree. A majority of people have not experienced real loss. Or they've never had a significant or chronic illness. They have nothing to put things into perspective. And a lot of them are poorly educated (our biggest hurdle). So they trust in their sports team to give them guidance, only to find out when it's too late that was a mistake.

Throw some vitamin A in there.


My wife tells me there is a hope for a new treatment, apparently a cheap steroid can have some surprisingly good results.

Turns out the solution was guzzling hormones all along.
