I came here because I was tired of seeing this garbage on reddit all the time. How long are you going to let yourself be scared?

[-] BROMETHIUS@startrek.website 62 points 1 year ago

lol what a stupid fucking take.

The government could announce a volcano evacuation and you stupid fucks would be like “how long are you babies gonna be scared?” as you walk into the burning hot lava.

Fucking ridiculous.

Sounding tough on the internet is very easy, so liberals love to do that.

EDIT: I was talking about the person the above poster was responding to.

Wow, I sound tough? Thanks lol. No one’s ever said that to me.

Ah damn! lol my bad, I’m a bit dim.

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago

The internet tends to be the graveyard of context and intent; it's happened to me too. yea

I stopped washing my vegetables years ago. How long you babies gonna be scared of salmonella and pesticides.

So who do you think is behind this? Big mask?

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago

I know actual boomers that really do think there's a vague and undefined conspiracy that wanted to deny them access to the ever-flowing chocolate fountain at the Golden Corral.

That thing was a horrifying disease vector well before covid.

Would you kindly walk into an intensive care unit at a hospital and repeat your flaming hot take to the nursing staff and maybe some intubated people there?

[-] eatmyass@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago

Very telling that you refer to being intelligent and knowledgeable about global crises as “being scared.”

How long are you gonna keep your head in the sand?

At least typhoid Mary didn't know she was carrying typhoid

[-] silent_water@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago

millions dead, millions more permanently disabled, and you can't even comprehend the notion that it was all preventable. advocating for further deaths+disabilities and justifying it as fear is beyond stupid - it's bloodthirsty membership in a death cult.

I'm not sure. Perhaps until we devise an effective preventative vaccine or, at least, a working strategy to prevent long Covid?

What do you suggest instead?

How absolutely moronic. Hey, malaria has been around since Ancient times. How long are you going to let yourself be scared of that? Go to the nearest swamp and see if you can attract some mosquitoes, bro.

How dramatic. I don't think people are generally still scared of this. It's been part of our lives for a few years now.
Normal people see this and go "Hmm, I'll keep some N95s around in case there's a notable uptick in people gettin' sick this flu season." Meanwhile, some people, such as yourself, seem to have a negative knee-jerk reaction to anything in the news related to COVID, and then proceed to get shit upon by the community when you bitch about it; their knee-jerk reaction is to immediately assume you're a right-winger and call you out on it (they've done it to a couple other people in here). While I don't think that's a fair assumption off the cuff, I can see how they'd jump to that.
