  1. Keep poor women in their place. Stop them from getting educated, because they're home taking care of their babies, with little to no help for education, health care, day care, food. And if a few of these women die, their fault because they're evil sinner welfare queens.
  2. And it should.
  3. Eh, I would put it more on extremism is a hinderance to rationality, with many prominent white churches promoting white, Christian extremism. Which isn't all that different from Muslim extremism other than being coopted by one of the major political parties. But there are plenty of religious folks who can be rational, but they aren't cult members.
  4. Prominent Republicans were all vaxxed and boosted. They just don't talk about it, because they have to death cult.
  5. Going to?
  6. Or shoot up a pizza parlor. Or send pipe bombs to politicians. Or shoot up a synagogue. Or shoot up brown people at a Walmart. Or shoot up journalists.
  7. Made this for Easter brunch. https://www.pardonyourfrench.com/sweet-pea-ham-quiche/
  8. Some combo of I'm exhausted and I give up, TFG broke us we're done, and I'm mad as hell. Really just depressed, because it's become obvious we're done regardless of what anyone does, and we're just a nation of zombies who only give a fuck about me me me, guns, monster trucks, and destroying the planet.

  10. Quintuple post. Only one that's still editable.
  11. How would that even work though. Would bags not go through it? I would think it would be set off by everyone just by keys and phones.

  17. Seriously? Most people not in the cult don't question the seriousness of the disease. But about a third of the country thinks it's a liberal conspiracy hoax. Also, regardless of the public health aspects, I hope this doesn't further fuck with flight schedules when the FAs keep having to call in sick with BA.2.
  18. I would say getting patted down most times I fly are a much bigger deal/more invasive than a fucking mask. And a hell of a lot more people have died from Covid than underwear bombs. Yet the antimaskers are apparently fine with being felt up by TSA agents on a regular basis. We do a shit ton of stuff as a precautionary measure. I don't have strong feelings on whether we should keep wearing masks on planes. But my patience for the morons doing a victory lap over not having to wear a few thin pieces of paper over their faces for a few hours is limited, to say the least.
  19. That’s insulting to children
  20. Yeah, I don't disagree. I think the point is more to make them feel comfortable traveling and help the tourism industry. But we spend millions (billions?) on TSA, body scanners, air marshals, and other security theater to make people feel safe. I'm flummoxed that wearing a mask, which is just a mild inconvenience, and actually does some amount of good, at least more good than the fucking body scanners, taking off our shoes, or not being able to take water through the TSA line, is the bridge too far that gets federal court intervention. It's bizarro world.
  21. Oh, I'm all out of shits to give about the greater good. I'll probably wear a N95 on my flight over, and go maskless home.
  22. At least for me, the concern isn't so much getting really sick/dying from Covid. I've been vaccinated and boosted. But I have a big trip planned next month, and really don't want to get stuck thousands of miles from home with the latest variant, and have my vacation ruined after catching BA-2 or whatever the next thing is on the flight over.
  23. I have mixed feelings about the whole thing, so it might be a stretch to say I support requiring masks on planes. But, I think the reason for it is that for the people who want masks there's little alternative. It's not like a restaurant or a store that you just can't go to or choose another store to shop at. You're stuck on the plane. A mask mandate will also encourage people who are uneasy of flying to get on planes. I don't really care for myself, but my stepmother who is immunosuppressed and elderly is flying to my niece's graduation next month. Not feeling great about her breathing canned air with a bunch of others. And I know of more than one person who's gotten on a plane with Covid. Honestly, I just don't understand the opposition to it. It's not a big deal. Hell, i wore a mask on a 12 hour overseas flight with a connection---so with all the airport time well over 15 hours, and it was mildly inconvenient at most. And after years of catching colds every time I flew, that hasn't happened at all post-pandemic.
