Oh no, you have me scared.
If seat belts work, why do we need airbags ? If airbags work why do we need the seat belts ? And if both work, why on earth do we need brakes ? Because it turns out, none are 100% effective, but they add up and compliment each other nicely.
The reason it's ok to enforce the use of masks is BECAUSE THE DECISION NOT TO WEAR ONE ENDANGERS OTHERS AND NOT ONLY YOU. So it's no longer your decision alone to make.
It's the same reason smoking in restaurants is banned. BECAUSE IT AFFECTS OTHERS.
Jesus you say we don't address your point, but the point was made 23 messages ago and you ignore it : Your personal liberties stop when they cause harm to others.
And of course you're now defending anti-vaxxers.

Yes because it works the same way :
You smoking in a restaurant next to me causes harm to me, therefore, it's banned.
You refusing to vaccinate your kids because facebook told you it's bad puts others in harms way, therefore your kid is banned from public schools (unless a doctor, with an actual medical license, who went to med school says your kid has a medical reason not to be vaccinated. Which btw is the reason why others who CAN do it NEED to do it, because it protects those who can't).
It's really not hard : are you placing your personal convenience over other's safety to prove a point ? If the answer is yes, you're not a "martyr fighting against oppression", that's what people in HK are doing, you're a c*nt.
Ain't it the right who has a ginormous moron who likes to say 'facts don't care about your feelings' ? Well facts say wearing a mask protects others and helps slow down the spread. Your feelings on the matter don't matter.

TL,DR: shut the fuck up and wear your mask. It protects others. If it was about protecting yourself nobody would give two shits because if you want to put yourself in harms way just to prove a point, by all means, be my guest. Your personal liberties stop when they start putting others in harms way.

Also, the business owner who decides to open up without a mask puts HIS WORKER S at risk, not himself. So he's gonna make that call for business reasons, disregarding human reasons. And then the employees don't have a choice, because they lose the possibility to claim unemployment since their businees has re-opened even tho it has re-opened in a way that puts them in harms way.
So no, it's not half as simple as "let the morons harm themselves in their own bubble and pick up the survivors in 6 months", their "choice" to ignore facts and science for their convenience affects others directly, which is why it goes beyond their personal freedom.
The other side is manifesting against police brutality and racism, so it's not exactly the same.

Also, it's because you're looking at defenestration as if i'ts this smarty-pants word. But really :
'fenêtre means 'window' in french.
The '^' accent is literally a placeholder for words where old french used to have an S that got silenced / removed.
So 'fenestre' means 'window'
The prefix 'de' means 'to remove' / 'to cancel' / to undo' (to 'demonetize' something --> to remove funding).
So 'defenestrate' is literally to 'un-window' something / someone.
So this 'fancy english word' is literally old english, explained.

Also, highly advise against shrooms / psychedelics if you're depressed.
They are the fucking best if you're in a good state of mind, and confident, but they really multiply your state of mind, so taking some when you're depressed feels like a great way to have a bad trip.
This is also why peer pressuring people who don't really want to take some is a terrible idea (aside from the fact that it's just a straight up shitty thing to do), if they are feeling apprehensive, and are kinda afraid, it increases the chances they have a bad trip.
Drugs (especially psychedelics) are fun, and sharing them with people is a blast, but doing so in a safe and respecting environment is a must. 'No.' is a full sentence in general, but it's particularly true when it comes to sex, drugs, and probably rock and roll.

Wasn't the whole argument for airpods that it allows them to make the phone thinner (which for some reason is a maketting argument for some people) ? This case defeats that purpose.
Also I feel like it would make the phone less "comfortable" to hold (it now has a bump in the back etc...). Idk, I don't like it, but then again I don't like airpods in the first place.
Also, if a thief pickpockets your phone, or steals it from your purse, or snatches it in the street etc... he's not gonna linger around and steal your airpods too.

So... I'll ignore the necro on a 2 year old post and add that to the anecdote :
I tried this pick up line on tinder a while ago when this resurfaced on reddit. Turns out, if you want to use copy pastas to pick up girls you should probably do that before they re-become so famous, because she was not impressed.

Eh, she could be mature enough to do both had she received a decent education, but, you know, abstinence only education.
@cakelover , the thing is, it doesn't matter who is giving her a child (her own actions, the state, or immaculate conception), if you forbid abortion because she isn't mature enough make that choice, you're literally saying "this person is not mature enough to make the choice to end her pregnancy, therefore she isn't allowed to end her pregnancy, so SHE WILL HAVE A CHILD.". Because she's already pregnant. It's no longer a choice wether she gets pregnant or not.
Unless you're trying to punish women for having sex (which yall claim you're not, so i'm gonna assume you're not), the argument against abortion is usually the right of the 'kid' to live. Is it really good for kids to be raised by parents who are so immature that they can't make choices regarding their own life ?

The problem is the game is A M A Z I N G.
But the community is shit, and more importantly, the matchmaking and balance is fucked up. So you end up playing a game that has insane potential to be amazing, but the outcome of each match is determined by who gets the worse player (which is basically a coinflip) in a match were 3/4 or the characters are annoying af to play against (but they are very fun to PLAY AS).
So you keep playing, because you are chasing those 10% games where the matchmaking struck gold and both teams have players of equal skill, and the game is SO SO GOOD. But 90% of the matches are a coinflip where, no matter how well you perform, you can't really influence the outcome.
So you want to stop playing. But you can't find another game that provides that same feeling when you get a tight match, and you make a smart af play and change the outcome and it feels so good and godamnit let me just play another one !
Yeah that game is addictive af.

Parks and Recreations reference. If you haven't watched it, it's an amazing comedy, on of the best tv series ever in my book. Also, it makes watching "guardians of the galaxy" even funnier, because I can't help but see Chris Pratt as his character in Parks and Recs, and that creates a funny gap in expectations.
One thing : if you do decide to watch it, you'll probably have to power through the first season (only 6 episodes). I hated them, but the show gets SO GOOD once the characters are all set up, definitely worth it.

No way scat, I'm sure NOTHING sounds less racist than a POS voluntarily using degrading slurs to describe all and any citizens of a different country, then acting dumb about being racist, then maintaining the slurs he uses are "not racists, they just describe facts about them", and finally ends his argument with "nothing against the brown ones in particular". /sarcasm.
@famous, it's true that the CCP needs to be reigned in. It's also true that hating all chinese people because of it is pretty fucking dumb. They don't get to chose their leaders you know ? They also don't get to protest you know (see tiananmen square).
Hate the CCP all you want, it would probably be the first time I would agree with you on something, don't hate on every person who didn't chose them, didn't chose to be born there. Don't let hate guide you, use your brain for a change, it'll get you places.
