There WERE mandates. This is something someone is currently doing, not something someone did several years ago. Literally nobody is telling them to do shit. The angry chucklefucks are upset someone else is doing something while demanding nothing from them. If people are still upset about masks, it’s not because of obedience.
Nobody’s demanding they wear a mask, and nobody’s infringing on their rights by wearing a mask. All that is being shown is another person not wanting to spread the disease. There is no demand to comply, other than their own conscience speaking in a quiet, quiet voice.
“They’re wearing a mask to stop the spread of disease, and I feel a need to react to this person’s wearing of a mask. Should I be wearing a mask to stop the spread of disease? I don’t want to be mildly uncomfortable, though. No, they’re the person in the wrong for wearing a mask. I should be angry with them.”
No self-awareness needed.
Masks are a highly-visible sign of compassion. It’s a sign that you don’t want others to suffer due to your own actions, especially if you’re suffering already. So when a person who has no compassion (but doesn’t want to admit they have no compassion) sees a mask, they feel the need to defend themselves and attack the mask.
Now I want the rule 34 version of the story of John Henry. Like, the next pokemon trailer comes out, and one NSFW artist has to put out porn of the new professor before the AI can generate it.
Can we also note that, to paraphrase, he tried to deny their adulthood before stating his sexual desire for them?
Comparing the mod lists of three communities you were banned from, it was either little cow, or you were banned by two different people.
You’ve been here for only 18 days, and you have two pages of mod logs about you. You have had a LOT of your posts removed for rules violations, and your only bans lasted only a few days at most. I don’t think this is a power-trip. I think you just keep breaking the rules.
In the case of an actual power-tripping mod, maybe message a different mod, or the instance admin. If the admin’s power-tripping too, just use a different instance.
Jack Horner did that in Puss in Boots 2: “Excalibur! I couldn’t get this rock off of it, but it’s still pretty cool, right?”
If there’s nothing about wikipedia you find objectionable, why are you objecting to it?
It’s suspicious because you denied an explanation nobody had yet asked for. If you ask me to lend you a shovel, that’s fine, but saying “don’t ask me why” makes me think you killed someone.
We kinda need to ask you why, though. If we’re gonna figure out a website you’d prefer to wikipedia, then we need to know what it is in wikipedia you object to. Plus, it’s more than a little suspicious to dodge questions of why before anyone asks.
If someone spends money to use a search engine, they will find a way to force that search engine into any conversation they can. It’s like how if you spend thousands on a bottle of wine, you’ll show that bottle off whenever you have guests over.
The time taken for “a” typing monkey? We have infinite monkeys! Why are we putting the entire burden on just one of them? One of them takes Hamlet, another takes King Lear, two of them collaborate to write Twelfth Night…
To quote the theme song of a science show on BBC radio:
If infinite monkeys type every day
They may accidentally write ‘Hamlet’ the play
But they’ll probably shit on it and throw it away
In the Infinite Monkey Cage
I’m sure if Putin asked nicely enough…
You know those people who have no creative skills or drive, but want to be thought of as a creative?
You know those people who have this really neat idea for an app, but they don’t plan on making it themself because they’re “just an ideas guy”?
You know those people who will offer to pay in exposure? I mean, do you really need to be paid just to draw some pictures anyway?
You know those guys who send you a picture they got from google images and claim this to be a girl they know?
That’s the vast majority of the AI audience. I could probably sum that up with the word “parasite”, but I wanted to be thorough.
Nah, this is meant to be a negative consequence. Cutting Heroes down to one season would be a whole dang wish on its own.
Granted. The show was now cancelled after season 2, so it ends on a massive cliffhanger that goes unresolved forever.
Please actually read someone’s comment before summarising it. You’ll do a better job if you do that.
Bush has done a terrible deed that Trump did not have the opportunity to do. Trump has done multiple terrible deeds that Bush DID have the opportunity to do.
Saying Trump is better than Bush is like saying I’m a better friend to you than that burly sailor. Sure, I didn’t sleep with your mother, but we know damn well that I would have if I had the chance.
Yes, Trump hasn’t killed a million people. Trump was not the president in the days after 9/11, where the majority of americans supported a war on Iraq. Trump did not have the same opportunity to kill a million people that Bush did.
However, we can see Trump’s opinions on Palestine. We can see Trump’s opinions on Ukraine. We can see just as much malicious support of genocide as Bush had, if not more. The only difference is the opportunity to act on it.
So I won’t use the Iraq war as a marker of morality. That’s not a fair comparison.
I will instead judge them based on a situation that both of them had, where only one of them took it. Bush had the opportunity to cheat on his wife and embezzle campaign funds to hide it. Bush had the opportunity to hide government secrets in his private residence. Bush did not do these things.
Please note that being better than Trump is such a fucking low bar, it’s astonishing you think that means I’m saying Bush isn’t a piece of shit. Less repugnant than Trump is still fucking repugnant.
How do you make a tissue dance? You put a little boogie in it.
