If you’re laughing, it just wasn’t made for you

A member of the Reform party - a party whose every principle, tenet, and policy is based on pure unadulterated racism - said and/or did something racist?

It’s not pirating, it’s preserving!

Trying to reframe Tennant’s comments as having anything to do with the Minister’s race or gender is exactly the kind of disingenuous strawmanning bald-faced bullshit we can ever expect from the fucking Tories.

I dunno man, being born before automobiles wouldn’t exempt you from looking both ways before you cross the street when you live in a world where cars are commonplace 🤷‍♀️

The Constitution also clearly states that anyone who breaks their oath of office to commit treason against the country shall not hold political office unless cleared by 2/3rds majority in Congress. It’s time to admit that the rules are all made up and the Constitution doesn’t matter.

Masking doesn’t render the air “devoid of pathogens”, it just reduces the amount of pathogens you’re spraying into the environment while you’re contagious, and provides some filtering of the air you’re breathing through your mouth and nose.

Our immune systems will still get “exercised” by fighting off the pathogens we do encounter, but they won’t necessarily be so easily overwhelmed since we won’t be constantly inhaling more and more virus while our lymphatic system is busy fighting off the replicating viral bodies that have already gotten in.

Huh, looked it up, TIL. Blame the disinformation campaigns 🤷‍♀️

The main point is to minimise the risk of infection of others. Masks do that by limiting the amount of virus you spray info the environment with every breath. The longer you have the mask on, the fewer virus-laden droplets get out, the lower the viral load is for everyone around you.

So to answer your question, yes, keeping the mask off the whole time would have been measurably worse than keeping it on before and after eating. No, getting a meal at an airport is not ethically wrong even if you have to take off the mask to eat and drink. Wearing the mask for as long as possible is the right thing to do because it offers the best chance of not getting other people sick; taking it off to eat balances your needs with the safety of others.

If everyone masked like this (even if it was just when they know they’re sick, instead of always), many fewer people would get sick when they go flying.

That’s not a hot take, that’s empirical fact: https://lifehacker.com/this-chart-shows-how-computer-literate-most-people-are-1789761598

Fixed, but I added a little personal flair to show I really mean business. More fucks == more business, that’s just maths.

Proton have just announced they’re moving to a nonprofit structure if that makes a difference to you; it sure does to me.

So… Is it going to be impossible to get parts or service for Fisker cars now? Obviously warranties would be worthless, but if the vehicle can be had cheap and wouldn’t be difficult to maintain without the company, maybe a good deal?

The only option now is to slap an Intel Inside® sticker on your forehead and wait to be backdoored by three-letter agencies. My condolences to you and your back door.

It’s known as “collateral damage” or more frequently “acceptable casualties”.

They already went back on it for other “price lock” customers, doesn’t that make it false advertising and can’t we do more than fucking ask?
