“when running revenue operations safety is our #1 priority” always means if the long wall miner is down the boss doesn’t care about safety until it’d running again

“we must reopen as safely as we can” also means safety doesn’t matter if we’re not opening up

if you use the CDC's recommendations for what to do with regards coronavirus, you'd have avoided wearing a mask until something like May 2020, you'd be sending your kids back to school as of last month because three feet of social distancing is acceptable, you'd be wearing a cloth mask because they're still telling people to avoid using N95s or their derivatives, and you'd be taking it off at random intervals if you've already been vaccinated because they think multiple overlapping guidelines between vaccinated persons / outdoors / social distancing is better public messaging than "wear your mask on at all times"

even from a perspective of "what you can do as an individual to protect yourself from coronavirus", the CDC loving sucks

I'm loving dying at the lib response of being mad at the CDC because if they had said airborne from the start we could have had outdoor masks off because covid respects the outdoors.

Ime, it's because the only people who care about leftist causes as adults are seen as immature, because they're the sorts of causes kids care about. Maturity is all about discarding your ideals/principles in the face of a culture that worships (or at minimum supports unquestioningly) entirely avoidable suffering and death, and mature adults make the hard choices such as "compromise with the Big Bad in exchange for being seen as a mature sophisticated adult."
Cops? Not all of them are bad. Disney superheroes? Such nuance and subtlety and principled maturity!

Nah dude you don't get political instincts. If you spend 10 influence points endorsing during the primary, that means you won't have those 10 points to endorse during the general

Restaurant chat, when we first traveled out of the States to places like Australia and Ireland, it was shocking how few sit-down restaurants there were. Almost everything was for takeaway, almost everything closed really early (we often traveled slightly off-season, cheaper rates for everything) and there were only a handful of options in each little town we went through. America is built on freeways, McDonalds/Hardees/Taco Bells and Exxon gas stations being a staple of roadtrips. On our foreign adventures, we found ourselves driving around for ages to find the lone open pizza place.

Often, we found ourselves in American-style sit-down places that were PACKED! In France, it was a Buffalo Grill. In Rockhampton, it was a Sizzler. The American way of eating is just not the norm and that was eye-opening to discover. In smaller towns, people looked at us funny when we asked to sit in the restaurant to eat, and we often dined alone.

sit down restaurants are plentiful in mexico and india
