I was at a hardware store yesterday and got to see a literal manchild complaining loudly to no one in particular about how masks were stupid, businesses respecting the lockdown were cowards, etc while not respecting any kind of distance/line markers. It was weird to see a 40 year old man doing the playbook of a middle school bully.

I'm an American living in Tokyo, and this is how about half the people over here wore their masks before the 'roni even came around town. I've heard people crediting the low number of cases in Japan to Japanese people with their superior cleanliness and "mask culture", but it's all a bunch of bullshit. Tons of people don't wear the mask correctly, I constantly see people touching their faces to adjust the masks, and I've seen plenty of old men cover their mouth for a giant sneeze or coughing fit and then immediately touch the handrail on the train.

It's pretty surreal reading this thread and other English-language media about how everything is locked down, because it was all business as normal in Japan until two or so weeks ago, despite Japan having some of the earliest confirmed cases outside of China. Even after a state of emergency was declared, there's been no legal measures to prevent people from going outside or to work; it's just the government asking very nicely if people could pretty please stay home, and predictably few people are listening. Before the Olympics were postponed, I'm almost certain the Japanese government was intentionally withholding testing in a last-ditch effort to save the Olympics, and even now I'm sure the numbers Japan is putting out are bullshit. This is probably contributing to the overall lack of response or sense of danger that people seem to have over here, and a lot people are probably going to die of "pneumonia" because of it.

One of the Falwells runs Samaritan's Purse. They put up at tent hospital in Central Park a few weeks back. I assume so they could take the faithful money off the hands of covid victims to guide them into their kingdom in heaven, and drum up publicity for donations from their loyal band of idiot followers.

"Come on down to Samaritan's Purse tent hospital, where we'll pray the sickness away and treat you with our complimentary holy water, only $14.95 per bottle!"

The woman that lived in my apartment last was a contributor. I still get mail for her from Samaritan's Purse. She also didn't change her address on her registration, so I get her Denver tollway tickets with good sounding warnings on the envelope like, "vehicle registration blocked until this bill is paid." Clearly she can't pay those bills, Samaritan's Purse needs their tithe!

That's better than the letters from attorneys offices and court summons that I keep getting in my mail intended for the previous tenant.

I saw very few people without masks at my Kroger in Houston (this was a few days before the mask order took effect), but the dude with the Trump-Pence shirt clearly had a chip on his shoulder about it.

Per WaPo


quote:

The White House is blocking Anthony S. Fauci from testifying before a House subcommittee investigating the coronavirus outbreak and response, arguing that it would be “counterproductive” for him to appear next week while in the midst of participating in the government’s response to the pandemic.

The White House issued a statement about Fauci’s testimony shortly after The Washington Post published a story Friday afternoon quoting a spokesman for the House Appropriations Committee, who said the White House was refusing to allow Fauci to appear at a subcommittee hearing next week.

An officer I know that’s a POS is posting all over SM (I’ve don’t have any connection but a friend does and sends me screenshots because she always passed me off) about the quarantine being illegal and fascist. She is telling people to be prepared to defend their freedoms. She broke into a public park, which are closed under governors order to let her 1 year old play. A few other officers have forwarded the post to her command and the local PD, but nothing has happened yet.

She also used to tell soldiers they were going to hell for being non believers and got knocked up by some random dude who isn’t her husband while she was deployed.

quote:

The power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them... To tell deliberate lies while genuinely believing in them, to forget any fact that has become inconvenient, and then, when it becomes necessary again, to draw it back from oblivion for just as long as it is needed, to deny the existence of objective reality and all the while to take account of the reality which one denies—all this is indispensably necessary. Even in using the word doublethink it is necessary to exercise doublethink. For by using the word one admits that one is tampering with reality; by a fresh act of doublethink one erases this knowledge; and so on indefinitely, with the lie always one leap ahead of the truth.
