So obviously this aint happening due to the conservative christian part but can you imagine how awesome it would be to have a giant for a gf?? Same height as master fucking chief

Did a dem seriously just try to introduce federal regulation trying to regulate BB guns as firearms? I didnt think they could get dumber on firearm laws but omfg lol this would at least retroactively makes sense to Minnesota Dems declaring .17 hmrs were bb guns last year

My "Justinian institutes drastic measures to support Constantinople's adequately swelling population only for 75% of the population to die from the plague within 2 years" is finally being in a financially good position when housing prices are at an all time high with interest somehow at 6 fucking %

An actual case in point to not wasting the opening seconds of your Spotify as by introducing yourself: An ad break starts. Im already reaching for the f5 key. But in the two seconds it takes me to do so, I hear the words "Wendy's just released an emo album" and fuck, that grabbed my attention

I wish we had better fit testing resources! In MN it is for whatever fucking inexplicable reason literally illegal to do fit testing on anyone who is not in the medical field. Makes it difficult here to create actual immunocompromised safe spaces

Literally the poor owners tried so hard, even going as far as bringing in TWO trained mediators. There is no pleasing these people, the only option is to show them the door.

The lesbian bar thing is just an object lesson of how you have to at some point say “you are a crazy person, fuck off and go away”, like you can’t let yourself be ruled by the whims of people like that. Tell them to go to another bar.

Do you guys remember when they fucked up Master Chief collection so hard it literally did not work for over 2 years? All they had to do was take other peoples' already completed work and make a fucking menu interface and provide working servers. They could not manage even that

Very much looking forward to someone necroing this thread 4 months from now to complain that Im spreading harmful ideas (without realizing the irony in necroing a thread of ideas they consider dangerous)

Despite the fact that the best available data shows zero, zip, nada difference between paxlovid and placebo for preventing long term effects from infection. But ofc people got mad at me for saying I regretted taking the v expensive paxlovid that had side effects worse than c*vid symptoms lol

Offbrand Ken From B*rbie @sdrockcab.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

I respect spots that still do mask requirements for accessibility but the "n95 and up" is like, not very helpful when the most common n95 is the loop eared kn85, which again, if people looked at data, they'd know is nearly worthless. Lastly, I always see people recommending paxlovid

110

Offbrand Ken From B*rbie @sdrockcab.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Sure it's dangerous yet, disabling is much more likely and frequency of lc is still in the air. But death? It's clear these people don't actually look at data anymore. Also had a science writer claim masking was a silver bullet despite the fact that one way masking is shown to be fairly ineffective

Offbrand Ken From B*rbie @sdrockcab.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Probably the thing that makes me most roll my eyes at the current state of the c*vid conscious movement, it used to try to be data based &is now 100% emotion based Probably the funniest reply got last month was one saying I was going to die. Any idea how low chance of death is in endemic conditions?

Has the govt ever considered uhmmmmmm not being the most evil entity possible by not deporting people to countries with active civil wars

Offbrand Ken From B*rbie @sdrockcab.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

I *do* wish there were still more COVID accessible dedicated spaces, especially as 1 way masking isn't really all that effective, but, like... A bar? Where you have to take your mask off to drink? Besides what you mention with the problem of funding an irregular customer base is a real problem

Fuck me, not just the cc community, this story is why the entire general LEFT fails to achieve anything. We are sometimes so up to our necks in dogmatic bullshit that consequentialism is just tossed out the window in favor of who can weaponize the most buzzwords

Offbrand Ken From B*rbie @sdrockcab.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

And, as I can attest from last month, the majority of the community continues to be EXACTLY like this despite the fact that the strategy of "Being an absolutely collosal fucking dick to absolutely everyone" has proved to be a losing strategy
