How long until Trump crawls back on his statements, saying it was just a joke or whatever?

the thing is, even if covid-19 is among these people and people start dying because of this gathering. no one will learn anything from this.

Yeah, that's the problem. 95+% of those people, even if they do get sick, will be fine. Maybe at worst they'll experience a (bad) flu that they can rationalise like it's no big deal, and they simply won't care about the people there that actually die. "They could've died in a car accident too, you know. Actually that's far more likely." :smug:

Meanwhile they literally won't even think about how they're actually spreading it, even if (or especially when) they don't have any (bad) symptoms.

Like, the other day I was doing my grocery shopping and the person I was with (part of my household, we took care to keep 2m distance) made a joke, I laughed, and some saliva went into my windpipe as it sometimes does when you're unlucky. I had to cough a couple of times, and it was drat uncomfortable for the rest of the shopping trip.

My first thoughts were:
1) poo poo, everyone is going to think I've got a bad cough. Better talk (kinda loud and obvious) about how some saliva went the wrong way so people don't worry that I might infect them because I'm the kind of rear end in a top hat that goes shopping when they're ill.
2) poo poo, I could be asymptomatic and be spreading this poo poo even though I don't want to, better get out of here fast as I can.

I took a bottle of coke of from a shelf, opened it and drank some to supress the cough, told the cashier why I did it, and (I hope) everything is fine.

I guarantee you none of those people would never even entertain those thoughts, or anything close to it.

It's a cultural difference.

Look, this thread has, like, 77 days to live. Let’s not end it by relitigating the primaries. Let’s take this time to remember the bad times and see which Trump voters manage to squeeze in under the deadline.

On a related note has anyone seen Mike Pence?

lol like I'm just gonna ignore Trump completely after the last four years. He's gonna start Trump TV, be sad and angry on twitter, and just generally give us lols for a couple more years until he actually dies.

At least they'll be actual lols then, not tainted by the knowledge that it has any actual consequences anymore.

e: thought this was the lol thread

Jesus. This is haunting.

I'm watching the show today thanks to that post and just finished that episode. That doesn't convince them and 2 more groups of people get airlocked before the mob realises the truth. lol

Please tell me that the woman whom keeps unlocking the door takes a trip outside, too.

No. One of the people changes their mind at the last moment though, but it's too late. Her hand is shattered on the way out which finally makes everyone realize it's not some clever sfx. :v:

The show really is great. Just a bunch of lovely people being lovely against each other, with everything getting increasingly stupid and lovely as a consequence of their own actions. Literally nobody qualified is in charge because everything is automated so the captain and crew are all dumb actors putting on a show. The actual captain dies in the first episode and the only other qualified people are a bunch of engineers below decks who don't really give a poo poo about all the rich people.

Seriously, it's a great show with great characters that you just love to hate. It was great catharsis from the reality where awful people don't get what's coming to them.
