Citing a man who was behind PizzaGate is not a good way to build a credible concern troll

arent they they ones that negotiate with the union and review how police are being trained? If they are letting shitty training and crappy union contracts occur then they are failing to do their jobs. quit giving them any out whatsoever. they suck
I really like how you've managed to completely disengage the police from any sort of organizational accountability.
Cops killing too many people? The city shouldn't have written the contract to let them get away with killing so many people.
That's some abuser-level thinking, man.

The level of bad-faith posting in response to a simple graph is remarkable. Sorry the numbers don't support your narrative.
Yall are ignoring the MONTHS of sustained viral infection in the US compared to other first world nations. Fuck off with this "but muh protests" whataboutism. The US has not controlled or mitigated the spread of COVID. The protests certainly aren't helping, but to claim that our current state is directly and completely attributable to the protests is just fallacious.

Are you even allowed to tell other employees that a specific employee is sick with anything? In a small office, it can be easy to figure it out, but I don't think anyone should say that Nancy the receptionist has COVID-19. There are govt rules about privacy regarding health that I would be cautious to violate.Â
That's a public safety issue though. If the employer knowingly allowed an infected worker to continue working and took no preventative/mitigating efforts, I'd think their customers and other employees would have a justifiable complaint against them. If coughing in someone's face is assault, then isn't talking in their face assault too? It's the same health risk and exposure

you left out the protests when you listed to essentials
The uptick we saw last week was primarily the Memorial Day weekend bump. This week when it hockey sticks up even harder, THAT's the bulk of the impact from protests.
But yeah, I'd consider protesting against unchecked police brutality, murders, and racism to be far more essential than overpaying for miller/coors/bud lite and shitty well cocktails.

After the last IOS update I realized that find my iPhone is now completely useless. My daughter misplaced her phone in the house like she often does. I pulled out my iPhone and opened find my iPhone so I could sign into her Apple ID and make it sound off. That’s when I realized that it no longer has an option to sign out of my Apple ID. So essentially you can only use find my iPhone to find your iPhone if you have your iPhone.
You can use the icloud website to log in to your apple ID and find your iPhone/play a sound through there

I’m against facial recognition technology being utilized by the surveillance state, but I do enjoy this kind of calling out of hypocrisy.Â
ÂIt’s kind of reminiscent of LeBron etc calling out racial injustice here (rightfully) but shushing any support of HK protests because it makes him big money.Â
Comrade GRUhorn with the whataboutism. Classic move

Nobody here is going to fuck with the Alamo. It won’t be allowed.
ÂHave you been there? IIRC the focus is almost entirely on the siege and battle itself. They do mention one slave is released to spread the word of the defeat.Â
As someone who grew up in SA going every year on school field trips, the Alamo sucks. They've turned it into a big ass gift shop and there's just not what I would like to see to honor the last stand of brave Texans.Â
I don't think anybody is going to fuck with the Alamo, because, cmon. But it's already been pretty fucked with, if you ask me

A taser is a weapon. In fact, there have been over a 1000 deaths from tasers in this country. Reuters tracks it since the early 2000s. Currently sitting at 1,081.
https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/usa-taser-database/
And the standard is not "imminent danger of deadly force". Lethal force can be used if the individual has a reasonable belief it is necessary to prevent serious bodily injury.
If someone starts swinging a baseball bat at your knee, you are in no imminent danger of death. You can still shoot their ass to stop them from doing it.
Wow, we should let cops know that tasers are deadly weapons and not compliance devices then. Who knew they've been using deadly force for no reason for so long???

Wtf? I mean LTC/nursing homes are probably cleanest of the clean when it comes to viruses. They probably do anything and everything to keep the flu, colds etc out of the building. Could LTC patients immune systems that haven’t fought a virus or anything be the reason why they’re taking such a toll from this?
One of those it’s not good to be “too clean” type deals?What fucking nursing homes have you been to? They claim that they follow infectious contagion procedures but it's usually the nurses just reusing gowns and masks between patients, GRhorn style.Â
LTC and NH patients are getting hit so hard by covid because they're generally immunocompromised, frail, and subject to the care that's provided to them.Â
My dad's NH has been in infectious lockdown procedure for months due to a flu scare a month before COVID, but my dad has been moved between rooms several times due to a room mate or adjacent resident having symptoms or a cold

They referred to it as "a Death Star" and then got dunked on repeatedly because of what tends to happen to Death Stars lol

and it's true. the social distancing is a joke and masks are a fucking joke, because a shit-ton of folks are not doing it.
It's a control mechanism. You of all people should hate it, for consistency's sake; but you can't...because politics.
Don't let your kids go to tech, folks. They'll get slorch'd.Â
Wearing a mask is a damper against the spread of COVID. In epidemiology it's impossible and unreasonable to expect 100% compliance and participation in mitigating behaviors, but individual efforts DO make an impact to reduce the overall transmission of the virus. Check out this vid I posted a couple months ago to explain it with a good visualization.Â
I hope you change your mind on wearing a mask. It costs you next to nothing and could potentially save a stranger's life, or protect your family.Â
Do you also think that seatbelts are just a "control mechanism"?

When did I say you shouldn't wear a mask?
Â
You motherfuckers can't even read. But those high IQ's are fucking cranking...
You've repeatedly said that if we all aren't wearing a mask, then none of us should and that it's pointless without 100% compliance.Â

You troll life.  Carry on good soldier...
Imagine waking up at 430AM just to troll a thread about an ongoing pandemic on a football board. All just to push the position that we shouldn't wear masks.Â
That's some galaxy-brain shit

Interesting. On my trips to the grocery store here in Austin anecdotally it's the olds that aren't wearing masks, not the youths. Talked to more than one cashier about it
This has been my experience as well. I've really only been going to grocery stores and picking up food curbside, but in my (anecdotal) experiences in the Spring Branch area of Houston, it's been mainly olds not wearing their masks. Granted it's mainly olds that are out and about so there's some sampling bias in my anecdote, so fair point to @Hate that all ages are capable of making selfish choices

This. And the rules on restaurants patrons and staff should be clear as day and have some science behind them.
If the guy standing over the griddle has a bandana over his mouth but not his nose, what are we doing? If the unmasked patrons come in and breath all over each other huddled at the hostess stand before moving to their distanced tables outdoors, what are we doing?
Crazy that we’re in June and opening up and don’t have best practices figured out.Â
1+ to this, the number of boomers with their noses poking over masks and taking them off to talk at you is too damn high. Folks just don't give a fuck about doing the right thing, just appearing to do it

And if you don't agree you should probably make it decent. EMAW was just neg bombed for stating an opinion. That seemed unnecessary, and not a great way to keep people in.
And what opinion is that? That he's persecuted for his vaguely-defined beliefs and that the people he's talking at are residents of a shit hole? Complete with a misattributed quote that's being used condescendingly?
Really sounds like he's just trying to have a dialogue, huh?

Especially when people at home have seen several days of gatherings on Tv that were widely encouraged. Political impetus of the protests put aside, the message of the necessity of the restrictions is now tainted, perhaps irreparably.Â
Yeah, it would be terrible if someone with the national stage were to publicly act in defiance of social distancing, really wouldn't be helpful to convincing people it would be the best thing to do

A blind squirrel can still find a nut. Until something comes out saying this didn't happen, I'll just put in the maybe that happened camp.
You'll notice I did not call it fake, or false, or untrue, despite you putting those words in my mouth. Just letting you know that you're not likely to get anything but information that reinforces your biases going to that source.Â

It's not an ad hominem attack, I'm saying that he has a demonstrated history of fabricating evidence to push an agenda and storyline. Which resulted in a stochastic terrorist act.Â
So before you rip your pearls off your neck while clutching them too hard, you should probably try to get at least a second independent source to his reportingÂ
