Pinus Porcus posted:In my experience, more of the legit "I can't wear a mask" isn't even from like respiratory reasons, it's more severe PTSD, autism, claustrophobia (or something closely related?) or other neuro or pysch reasons. Also, folks I know with those issues have been trying out face shields, making trips during business lulls so they can get out faster, making efforts in work environments to isolate more so they get more maskless time, etc. 100% successful? Maybe not, but they at least looked into alternatives and have given mask life a go before saying they can't. I'm autistic and work with people with ASD/PTSD/Comorbid Disorders who have to wear masks. I also spent time recently working in a hospital wearing masks on 12+ hour shifts. The people claiming they can't wear masks are 99% full of poo poo. Masks can be really uncomfortable and there are conditions that make it hard to tolerate, but that's all it is, and it's not erasure or denigration to say so. The vast majority of people claiming medical exemption just don't want to. And that's fine too! Really, it is. Just y'know... accept the consequences of not being able to practice safe pandemic procedure. Eat the layoff and/or the social alienation like an adult. Own the choice. Don't hide behind some nebulous bullshit.

Ruzihm posted:An old facebook friend of mine just unironically posted a "blm is a marxist movement because it calls for ~equality of outcome~" video Yeah, I'd like to know where this was ever expressed by Marx too. If you really wanted to, you could let them sputter then quote "when our time comes, we will make no excuses for the terror" and ask them if that was also an equality of outcome.

Don't hide behind some nebulous bullshit. I mean, I agree, 99% of people saying it are full of poo poo. And I'm happy you and folks your working with are good with the masks, but I am always hesitant to blanket statement re:neuro or psych stuff, and I do apologise if it seemed I did. People who I know struggled have those issues. Maybe they aren't related, but it seemed like they were from explanations given to me, which is all I can base it on. Again I apologise. They all still meet my state's mandates though, just in different ways, or asked for changes from their employer (ie wFH or isolated work space to limit mask requirements). As someone said, it's about accomodations, not out and out dismissal of a public health mandate. Hell, even I've had conditions where myself or a member of my team have had to step away to take a mask off for a few minutes, so I do think some folks may struggle under certain conditions. But accomodations is not the same as a dismissal of the mandate. Anyone who just filled out some card because they don't want to be inconvenienced can gently caress off. They are like the people with fake service animals.

Ruzihm posted:Here's how it turned out - Apparently BLM protesting peacefully isn't real BLM also I should read Sowell Yeah don't even bother engaging if you're going to just let them choose the field like that. "equality of outcome" was never a Marxist ideal and accepting that as a premise just leads to the disingenuous bullshit you saw there. Same goes for any kind of Crowder-esque "HEY HEY COME DEBATE ME I PROMISE ITS GOOD FAITH" type poo poo. And loving Sowell. Dude has such a specious understanding of philosophy and political science that he even gets loving federalist libertarians framing his analysis as a self-inserted caricature of Marx as an American Democratic party position. It's Dinesh D'Souza level facile argument. edit: just say "equality of outcome is a liberal thing" and let them churn over that for a bit. Clarifying anything is only going to feed them grist for the mill, so just say nothing and then accuse them of being a liberal (they are) for wanting equality of outcome and having nothing to prove.

Absurd Alhazred posted:Look at these desperate attempts by a GOP group in NC to explain to their equally stupid constituents that somehow absentee ballots are different from mail-in voting and no, they should actually do that our state like all the other states is having a big surge in the roni to. not quite as big as texas or florida but our govenor is mealy mouthed moron who let literally everything but hair / nail salons be considered essential during the mandatory closure. Then tried to pretend that the gop didnt make a bill to silence victims killed by police and was just like they didnt know, i didnt know until the protesters pointed it out no one knew and now i wont sign it. gently caress him voting him out the next chance i get. cant wait for these old fucks to gather together and get the roni. i feel terrible for the people who were purged from the rolls and have to reregister and got denied absentee though. i hope they wear a mask to vote.

All the other states are not having a big surge in coronavirus, she says in Massachusetts. There are things that work, but most states won’t try them. They’re not easy (our unemployment is crazy high) but they work. We also have no-excuse vote by mail, and they just sent out postcards where you can request your ballots.

They’re locked in an evolutionary arms race with bacteria that are trying to fill the same niches. Sometimes our biology is similar enough to make us collateral damage. Sometimes it isn’t and presto! It’s promising antibiotic candidate. P.S. I loving wish big pharma saw money in antibiotics. The last time a new family of antibiotics was introduced for gram-negative bacteria, JFK skull was intact.

The local Fox affiliate posted a story about McDonald's requiring masks, and police, potentially, being called to remove customers who refuse to wear one. This is an amazing response (name not hidden since it's a public article on a public page.) It's just so stupid.
