PT6A posted:I'd also like to bring up another aspect of the discussion that's really pissing me off: "they never taught us this in school." People tend to choose to be ignorant about subjects that make them uncomfortable, like most people are not going to willingly seek out uncomfortable topics. There are countless things in our everyday lives we choose to be ignorant about for our own "sanity." Examples range from things we ingest that are bad for us, to basically all the unethical and inhumane poo poo that goes into making our meat, and probably just every consumer good we buy.

Feel like all y'all mixed dosers can appreciate this. https://twitter.com/averycutedog/status/1415463389640355848?s=20 I think I'm just about 4 weeks out from my first dose; kind of hoping the pharmacy contacts me for the follow up soon so I don't have to spend the effort on my part figuring stuff out.

Alctel posted:It's not even comparable But my parents dog apparently got an unlucky bird or squirrel or two that made the mistake of being in the backyard. It's definitely not on the same level, but there's absolutely some dogs predisposed to murder, they just rarely get the opportunity. Honestly I think the smarter approach to outdoor cats is focusing on the safety of the cat. You want your cat indoors because it means a healthier, longer lived cat. People don't care about birds and poo poo.

BGrifter posted:I’ve not used the scooters but I wholeheartedly support the project just so I get to read letters to the editor from angry old people about them. Iunno, I'm with the angry old people, if only because this is some stupid silicon valley startup BS where the business model is to make it everyone else's problem. At least, if they're anything like the ones I've heard about from some California based podcasts, the scooters have stupid anti-theft/tamper alarms that complain and/or speak at you if you try to move them and poo poo, as well as low battery alarms or some poo poo? One way another, they like they can be quite annoying even beyond someone zipping past you on one. There's definitely potential here - I'd love to see better ways to get around cities that aren't reliant on cars, and more flexible or direct then public transit, but I think I'd rather like, an organized public approach that isn't just capitialistic chaos.

I shouldn't have to have a driver's license to drive, it infringes upon my freedoms. If you want to stay safe, you can always just protect yourself by being more cautious or staying off the road. We can't live in fear of crashes forever, so it should be okay for people to take no precautions if they don't want to.

Arivia posted:I hope the liberals loving get destroyed over this. A naked power grab election in the middle of the pandemic? No one loving wants this and it’s literally going to kill people. Get hosed JT. Middle of the pandemic? Like yeah it's not over, but voting safely shouldn't be any harder or riskier then going to the grocery store for the last year and a half. Like, we've been in open'er up mode for over a month now. If we're all expected to do our civic duty of keeping the economy moving, an election doesn't seem like that big of a deal. At this point it'll only kill anyone dumb enough to be anti vaxx but also very politically motivated. Like, we have some kind of mail in/remote voting right? Like if someone really doesn't want to go out in pubic, they have options, right? Granted, JT should kind of go get hosed for lying about voting reform. I just don't know what I want more: Cons to get hosed into irrelevancy, or the Liberals to eat some humble pie for loving around.

pokeyman posted:He wants either vaccination or constant annoying testing. Call it anti-vax if you like but there's a bit more to it. I guess credit where credit is due, but it definitely seems like pandering to anti-vaxx. Like at first it seems like a reasonable compromise, annoy people into vaccinating, but it feels like a game of chicken. Do you actually want people taking you up on that? "Regular rapid testing to keep workplaces safe" seems like a lot to manage. While it focuses on the issue for federal employees, what do you do for everyone else? If you also expect small businesses to try to implement some kind of "rapid test required" just lol. Whereas a mandatory vaxx for public services and travel might actually have a knock-on effect for private business.

Saw a headline/topic on twitter "Ford government announces new Sept. 30 federal holiday will not be a stat holiday in Ontario" Sounded incredibly dumb at first - sure, just throw away some potential good will and easy political points from the working class. Then, I looked up why that was being made a federal holiday. Ontario will not make National Day for Truth and Reconciliation a provincial holiday Oh. Of course, Ford's gotta appeal to the racists.

Arivia posted:It’s not supposed to be a holiday tbf. It’s supposed to be a day off work for national reflection and learning. I’m not betting there will be a lot of that from the people who do get it off. Sort of makes me think of the crap people go on about how Nov 11th shouldn't be a stat holiday because it would ruin the meaning of it. Nevermind the banks, government employees, other provinces that already have it off. Won't be surprised if they try to pull the same dishonest reasoning for not giving people the 30th off.

RBC posted:If the ICUs in alberta are full of unvaccinated covid patients to the point where everyone else who needs icu care can't get it, yeah doctors are going to have to make those decisions. This was my take away. Hearing that people are getting turned away from the ER / getting stuck waiting in the states because poo poo's full up with presumably unvaccinated people, is really kind of infuriating. I don't want anyone to have to make choices between who lives or dies, or for anyone who has a low chance of survival not to get it. But the idea that me, a family member or friend, all could be at risk of not getting critical care because the hospital has a single bed taken up by someone who could have vaccinated, fills me with loving rage. The fact that people are not getting non-critical care they still need because idiots can't be bothered to suck it up and vaccinate pisses me off. I'm just so tired of it all. I have so little sympathy for anti-vaxxers. They don't want to trust doctors until it means they're taking up a bed someone else could need.

Arivia posted:There’s a huge gulf between “the unvaccinated” and anti-vaxxers. Not everyone in all of these ICU beds is ride or die on ivermectin. Collectively as a society we have done an absolutely horrible job of providing good health information throughout the pandemic, and yes, we have plenty of lovely people preying upon the misinformed. Someone being unvaccinated doesn’t mean they don’t deserve to live. Medical professionals are trying to do outreach to unvaccinated people and are wading through tons of fear, uncertainty and doubt to do it. I feel like unvaccinated people are being presented with increasingly obvious choices: Get vaccinated, or start being increasingly excluded from society. People have increasingly less good reason to be vaccine-hesitant, for good and for "bad" reasons. You aren't one bit wrong that not every unvaccinated person is not die-hard anti-vaxx, but the numbers are starting to get close to that point. You aren't wrong that those people still deserve medical care. But it's hard not to be out of patience when every day is a new story about stuff like min wage workers being harassed for upholding vaccine passports. I am plenty mad at facebook and rebel, I've said in other places many times that I don't even fully see the anti-vaxxers as the problem, but a tragedy of their own. But at some point it's hard not to be mad at the people who are part of the problem. Like, it's a lot easier to expect someone to just get over themselves and get the vaccine, then it is for Rebel Media, Fox News and Facebook to all cease to exist, and for medical disinformation to stop altogether. I don't mean to be heartless, I just do not want to hear about more people being hurt as a side effect of the unvaccinated. I don't think anyone should be denied medical care, but when we start looking at triage, it's hard not to feel spiteful towards anti-vaxxers (and the unvaccinated by unfortunate proxy) Like imagine triage deciding a non-covid patient should be denied care because their chances of survival are lower then someone with covid, who could have never got covid if they just got vaccinated? I don't know, maybe that's an unfair scenario, but it's hard not to feel like it's the exact sort of thing we're going to run into.

Evis posted:We could also change business hours twice a year. Work from 9-5 one half of the year and 8-4 the other half. That wouldn't really solve the problems changing the clocks creates. Everyone changing their sleep schedules is the biggest problem of the clock change. Clearly we should abolish work, then there'd be no reason to adjust sleep schedules. It'd have the added benefit of reducing workplace deaths too.

Poodlebear posted:Cops shouldn’t be held accountable to laws in the same way citizens are because they are asked to do things citizens don’t do. Correct. They should be held to a far higher standard given the power and authority they wield. Cops all too often get the benefit of the doubt - in legal situations a cops' word is usually taken at face value. I'll give some credit, yes, cops are fallible humans, and that's something that needs to be considered in all regards, but a lot of people feel like the more pressing matter is dealing with the fact that legal system treats that fallibility in a way that only protects cops, as opposed to recognizing that damage that fallibility can cause. Like, we want to relate to that fallibility? Sometimes I do slopping programming work cause I want to call the work done and clock out. There's ample history of cops doing sloppy work because they just want to collect their paycheque. Maybe cops should be afforded reasonable leeway in some places, but they sure as gently caress deserve all the scrutiny and oversight that should go with it. And yet, police unions exist to protect cops from basically any repercussions. In order to get thrown under the bus by a police union, it sure seems like you need to be wildly out of line. That or you try to hold other cops accountable. Oxyclean fucked around with this message at 20:39 on Dec 19, 2021 |

Jordan7hm posted:Hoping for the death of people in general is really hosed up. I dont want anyone to die, but given the choice between a petulant anti-vaxxer and anyone else, the choice is pretty easy tbh. Like, it really doesn't sit well with me that people might die as a result of anti-vaxxers taking up hospital beds they would not have, had they vaccinated. That's also ignoring the ripple effect the system being overloaded has for people with non-critical stuff. Like how many people might end up not seeing a doc and having something caught early?

Mellow Seas posted:Setting aside Mr. Simpson's analysis of that particular policy, the speed limit is actually a great example of risk-benefit tradeoffs. Otherwise we would lower it to walking speed and eliminate all traffic deaths. I mean, we could also just design our cities better and eliminate a ton of traffic deaths, but that'd require meaningful effort as well as pissing off the car/oil lobbies.

Feel like there's plenty of times where I just faff about at the end of the day not looking to start something new.
