Xenology is an unnatural mixture of science fiction and formal logic. At its core is a flawed assumption...

that an alien race would be psychologically human.

Also it makes me curious about these, I have some on the way: https://n95maskco.com/collections/n95-masks/products/respokare-niosh-n95-respirator-mask-4-pack

They claim that their outer layer traps and absorbs droplets and destabilizes them with an acidic coating

Last year, Chuck E. Cheese came under fire for rumors that it was selling leftover pizza, largely because many of the pies being sold were misshapen. A CEC rep categorically denied the allegations.

Will you stop going crazy in there?

This feels conspiracy theory as gently caress to type out, but it really seems like states started ramping up testing capacity like crazy because they realized it was a great way to goose their numbers. All you have to do to show a declining positive test rate (for a while) is ramp up testing faster the rate of infection, and ideally make testing more widely available so your sample includes more people without symptoms.

what's the fun in going to a theme park at this point, honestly?

Lines for rides are miles long because everyone has to stand six feet apart, riding half-empty rollercoasters with masks on, jugs of hand sanitizer everywhere, it's gonna be all hosed up and eerie. Why bother? Just to spite everyone telling you that you shouldn't? the "gently caress you, I can do what I want and you can't stop me" thrill?

Oh I'd like to, but they are taking all the grandchildren, including 2 of mine. And these kids see each other on a other daily basis. And I can't stop my in laws from going. Pregnant wife also wants to go to get out of the house.

I'm very much outvoted here and even if I told my family they couldn't go we'd already be compromised by these in laws, and the other grandchildren.
