what is motivating people to post every bill mitchell tweet in every thread

like seriously I get occasionally mocking dumb people but the degree to which some people feel compelled to flood threads with chud misinformation has got to reflect some mental disorder

it’s inevitably one person with a dumb person twitter obsession and a couple ignorant lurkers who don’t know better than to not quote them

like that one person in the uk thread with the frances weetman fetish

To be fair there is a certain fascinating madness to Mitchell. Like...his sheer unwillingness to see Covid as anything worse than the sniffles is stunning. Watching him shift from "THIS IS NOTHING" to full on "THE DEAD WOULD WISH FOR THE LIVING TO MOVE ON" is amazing.

It's like watching a guy push at a PLEASE PULL door for like 15 minutes straight.

Instead of another $1200 stimulus payment every few months, we're all going to get $100/month forever because they think we're dumb

Considering Nancy's only previous political accomplishment was gouging the living gently caress out of the poor and working class so that her donors never have to pay taxes, the new Pelosi "let them eat cake" policy will be a massive step up for that loving ghoul.

Everything about America indicates this will happen, but nothing about America indicates that the courts would side with the patrons over the restaurants

Also America doesn't have the case reporting or testing infrastructure to trace the outbreak in terms of time or location of infection once things really get going. Even if you could prove someone has the roni, you can't prove that's the person from whom you caught it :v:

I imagine some restaurants don’t feel secure that they won’t get sued but know if they stay closed they’ll go out of business anyway so might as well take the chance and collect as much money as they can before it crashes.

tbh i've always thought the "maybe wear a mask all the time on the subways and stuff" culture in china/japan was smart, cool, etc

I’ve always worn a mask during cold/flu season because my therapists office is in a medical center with babies and immunocompromised people in it too and I have this feeling that just because I never seem to get sick doesn’t mean I’m not some sort of asymptomatic carrier and I don’t want to give anyone flu or something. And in a medical center during flu season I still always get looks and comments for wearing a mask. It makes people really uncomfortable, maybe because people associate it with sickness and in American culture ignoring sickness is like a whole thing idk. People are reckless and get offended if you try to do things that benefit them. Kinda weird.

Let them open everything up who cares. No one is going to go to a loving restaurant anymore. The old world is dead. It's just the brain dead chuds that will go out like once or twice, catch it, and die. I just hope they don't take out too many innocent people with them.

i don't understand the question, but i would like to. what's up here?

basically the problem you pose has two scenarios:12 months of quarantine during which people are dying the whole time and we are seeing radical economic shifts which will probably not be for the better since our elected leaders are a moronic death cult, OR 2 months of people dying very quickly

after 12 months in scenario 1, we are just crossing the finish line and the stress of quarantine and people dying are finally over and now its time to start picking up the pieces

after 12 months in scenario 2, a similar number of people died in an expedited timeframe and weve spent the last ten months mourning the dead and rebuilding

basically they are both bad, so there is something to be said for getting it over with

though i would like to add that waiting for a miracle might save lives in scenario 1 and thats our strategy for climate change :shrug:

In scenario 2, the health system collapses over the course of about eight weeks due to excessive peak demands and 5-10x as many people die as a result.

i'm not proposing two scenarios. we were in 1 scenario. now we're in another.

there was no scenario in which we "get it over with". that's pure death cult thinking. we've known this since march.

the gender differences aren’t surprising but (my understanding was) those gender differences tend to be baked in at puberty, not something a retroactive estrogen pump would fix, so having “let’s dump some estrogen in and see what happens” sounds funky and/or desperate to me
