Saw the pic and put a “d” in place of the “h”. A WTH? moment for sure.

Have you ever played, coached or reffed organized basketball? I’ve done all three and size does matter when it comes to calls. Actually, the bigger players get the raw deal usually because the smaller skinny players get to hack in the big person with impunity and get touch calls when they fall down at the slightest contact from the bigger player. But refs are human and they can create bias either way.

Not when the W in WNBA also stands for “Woke”.

Lulz, the most natural press coverage the WNBA will get this year is about what would get a call to HR in the private sector with a shaking the finger meeting and a mandatory one hour sensitivity training video. Congratulations WNBA, 15 minutes and back to irrelevance.

Is this the new “unwashed masses”?

But a huge chunk involve Xanax. And you even said it’s a bad in combo bc it is. There is absolutely no denying OD and deaths are up. You can nitpick about Xanax all you want. In actual therapeutics it’s known as a shitty drug with little upside versus its benefits. It’s used in cocktail drug combisuse bc it’s a punchy, quick acting BZD, especially with opioids and when that opioid is laced with fentanyl or a derivative then you are playing Russian roulette with your life.

How do you know?

See! Even lesbians support the Eyes!

Ah yes. Our upper level high that parks over central Texas. This is how I would personify it.

This. Make the repercussions so painful that you don’t consider something this massive for a split second. This attack on infrastructure, our electric grid and attacks on hospitals actually lead to consequences that include people dying because of delays in care.

You’re asking for large city governments to use logic. Yada, yada monkeys flying out of butts, something, something.....

I thought that was Coors Light??

Vaccines to Cancer to Kids to Tucker being an idiot to LTCs to non physician assisted suicide. The last two pages of this thread akin to...

Pigeon Forge is the Walmart Disneyland of the south. There are so many better places to go in NE TN. A little homework will go a long way to enjoy a truly beautiful part of TN.

There's certainly virtue signalling but I really think the general public is confused at this point. Not enough to fall for the "don't have to wear a mask outside if everyone is vaccinated" bs confused but some rational guidance would be helpful.

When you talk about wholesale restrictions on travel and the economy and freedom to gather, where do you draw the line? Foremost, I 100% agree that those who can take the vaccine have a responsibility to the rest of their community to take it. But, at 0.1% who couldn't get the vaccine eventually, how many would actually get sick with serious sequelae or death? Certainly a lot less than 0.1%. When we start to get a small fraction of the population at risk then we start talking about what else we do in this country that eventually kills our fellow humans indirectly or even directly. Early on, Covid got its own special relative risk bubble and it should have due to the high risk to a population that was naive to it and didn't have acquired immunity but we have lost sight of relative and acceptable risks. We did it with AIDS in the late 80's and 90's. Funding, public awareness and public health shifts away from big ticket items, like gun safety, travel risks, smoking around kids. If we truly care so much about risks to the general public., we should limit all cars to 75 mph, immediately ban smoking and alcohol. Ignorant public opinion should not drive the public health pendulum. And neither should politicians who don't know jack squat about health care. My points have a strawman taste to them, but it's been a very long time since someone in political or public health leadership has made rationale decisions based on reasonably hard data. We are working off worst case scenarios with 6 month old immunity data. See Oregon's recent shut down. How many schools are still virtual? Why are fully vaccinated people still wearing mask literally everywhere?

Baby Shark on repeat ought to do it.

My forehead ain't lumpy and my boobs aren't that big. But I would probably look better in a superhero leotard.

This thread so needs to be moved to the CR. The poo flinging and rep bombing (pos and neg) has begun. Move it back if it gets anything close to apolitical.

This is what happens when you let bureaucrats run public healthcare.

Correct and especially as a kid. Doctors offices have become giant titty babies about all of this. Especially since, hopefully, most of their staff is immunized. I barely test kids for Covid anymore unless I am highly suspicious and/or they’ve been exposed. My daughter had to go through the same thing in Austin trying to get a strep test. It was ridiculous. I should’ve just had her come home.

Tons of variables but natural herd immunity due to early give no f&$@s likely plays a big role. We’re still not seeing significant reinefections from those who were positive in the first couple of waves last year.

We could only hope she’s trolling and not that stupid but she’s doing it at the expense of public health and common sense.
