Fear and Loathing, a Rat Flu Odyssey

[old goat]

Actually, it is.....The term 'Karen' is to call out people generally acting like raging assholes in public (see video I posted), and not to subjugate an entire race of people. I will henceforth condition the term 'Karen' with the following: Karen (raging asshole) flips out cause it took too long to get her Red Lobster....

Except people are using it to put down people of both genders who call other people out who are being assholes or are endangering people. If it were only used to describe people abusing store clerks and the like it would be different, but it's not. But comparing it to the N word is way overreaching. Like using the other N word--Nazi--to describe anyone other than real Nazis and white supremacists.

NAPA? And good on you for the work you do.

I for one would rather not suffer the burden of Deebs quotes.

And now, for the rest of the story: some hard-hitting journalism on why there were long lines:

Remember those cabinets in science classrooms in K-12 that you put your safety goggles in and they'd magically be disinfected for the next user? Why have we not seen anything like this for medical PPE? Maybe it exists but I haven't heard anything about it. I'm envisioning a device that you open, put the mask on some sort of rotary rack, close it, when turned on the mask is exposed to UV while rotating.

Yep, it's being done.

Yeah, because waiting for Red Lobster is such a great deal anyways. I don't think I've been to a RL for over 25 years. The last time I was at one, none too impressed.

A rock is just a rock until you pick it up and throw it then it becomes a weapon.




Heard someone say the other day that the Covid vaccine will make you sterile (a Government plan)

an AR 15 will be a weapon wether you thro it or not

and don't drink the bleach no matter what trump sez

Srsly. It's the fucking Olive Garden of the seafood restaurant world.

No quote but DB is back to, its just the flu, no actually less than the flu.

"DB" is ambiguous. There debased, dbdude, and deeebs.

The flu kills everyone, it doesn't check if you have an MD by your name and doctors are notoriously bad at getting flu shots. https://www.modernhealthcare.com/art...hs-last-season

1 google and it was the 2nd bullet ... how could you miss it unless you were stupid or trying ?

there was also that dr Li the chinese doctor who was the 1st MD in wuhan to leak info on COVID and get in poo from the CPC,

Its been killing people who should'nt be getting killed becuz Covid is way more deadly than influenza

[bennymac]

At least Captain Whataboutism waited a week in between his “it’s just the flu” bullshit this time. Nice to have a break from such simple thinking short lived that it was.

the bottom right one was added so far left kooks could get an invitation to the Covid party.

[Bunion 2020]

I work with developmentally disabled adults, most with dual diagnoses (congenital cognitive impairment accompanied by mental illness). Our group home deals with individuals with behavioral difficulties. Fortunately we haven't had any infections among staff and residents (or I'd be posting about deaths, most of our folks are high risk), however gloves are becoming an issue, we need them like a carpenter needs nails.

Can't obtain or can't afford adequate supplies? Either way I have part of a box of Harbor Freight Nitrile gloves size large I will put in the mail to you. PM me.

Also be a good opportunity for the Maggots helping Maggots to help out.

Notice there is no circle for “preppers carrying assault rifles and anti-tank weapons into government offices demanding they be allowed to get a hair cut and a tattoo after 5 weeks of non essential business closures”

Are there impending economic devastation issues ... fuck yeah !

gona have to raise them taxes

[MontuckyFried]

You're right the N word typically covers an entire race whereas "Karen" is an insinuation against women which makes it an especially negative insult when you call a man a "Karen" thereby equating his behavior with that of a hysterical woman and we are right back where we started before the Me Too movement. Women are not equal they are objects and to be called one is to be insulted.

I'm going to leave this here. You all can think about it or not. I've had my say and I will not be dissuaded from my feelings on the matter.

Someone here posted this elsewhere, but the point still remains. We are NOT talking about all women.



THIS is a Karen. Is THIS all women? I think not!



Get your Karen background knowledge straight before assuming such slanderous intentions. Haha. FWIW, my wife thinks the Karen meme is effing hilarious and uses it appropriately herself. She is not a Karen.

[Lone Star]

*cut.....

[mcski]

Back in the day they would say "lighten up Francis" and Francises everywhere had to bear that burden.

Ya, but that time he stole the cow? And his friend tried to make it with the cow?

[Deebased]

And the world is flat and 9/11 was a hoax and planes spray chemtrails. Got it.

Don't forget all the models are right.

[Tips^Up]

I take it your dentist didn't require you to sign something accepting risk of infection before they'd see you, is that correct?

Didn't sign anything. If you go back a billion pages in this thread, I had covid-19 symptoms for about 3 weeks. Felt like a bad flu for about a week, then just a persistent cough, now feeling great for the past 2 weeks. But they didn't ask me about that either. I would have obviously not gone there or anywhere if I still had symptoms (my whole fam quarantined for 3 weeks until we all were healthy).

[Deebased]

Holy fuck deebased is dumb

Who wants facts when I'm supposed to sit at home being skeered

We all know you’re really standing and skeered.

So this is kind of hilarious considering the age demographic of the ones complaining the most about the young not doing enough to protect them:
First there was this: https://www.cdc.gov/flu/pandemic-res...-pandemic.html

And then they held Woodstock...


And now those same former hippies are telling us we ALL have to hole up indefinitely. Pot, meet kettle.

[The AD]

I love that we finally found words that piss off basic entitled white people. Cracker just never worked very well. Fat bubba was always a favorite. Jethro as well. Leave it to the ladies to finally break that glass ceiling.

Ofay? Honky?

Great article

Fear, fear, fear. Almost a statistic.

~300 white male doctors die annually from the flu/pneumonia . https://www.ajpmonline.org/article/S...201-4/fulltext

So yes the flu does usually kill doctors.
