And yet, in over a century of NFL football, not one player has died in a game as a result of playing football (Chuck Hughes famously had an undiagnosed heart issue). Sounded like a security guard with the "put his life on the line" nonsense. "You ought to be more appreciative! This mall is a dangerous place! I can't tell you how many times I've been on patrol on my segway wh-" "Yeah whatever buddy can you just show me where the lost and found is?"

It's Time to Mandate Vaccines
LeviF replied to The Frankish Reich's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
This is really the salient point re: mandates. The vaccine was initially shown to reduce infection/transmission. This is no longer the case, even for booster shots. To be fair the FDA said they didn't know how long the vaccine would be effective. That's fine, it showed to maybe be effective for a few months. But if it no longer can, or we don't know whether it can, reduce infection/transmission, why mandate it? It's not perfect, but the vaccine has shown to improve outcomes for a lot of folks in this, the most obese country in the world. Lots of people who otherwise would have landed in the hospital or morgue simply ended up with a bad cold like non-fatasses with COVID. If you're a fatass, get the shot to prevent a hospital stay. That should be the line. Everything else, at this point, is a lie, and the bases for any and all mandates regarding the vaccine, including in health care workers, are unfounded. -
Btw, if you use the words "equity" and "equality" in any context other than describing the pillars of an incredible political and ideological failure, you're doomed to repeat said failure and dooming us to watch it all over again. You're incapable of introspection or serious thought about your belief systems and your intellectual peers created ruins out of a great republic and shitholes out of beautiful cities.

I listened to a twitter space on reparations that was entirely POC speakers and man, it's incredible what they base their arguments on. Not on history, not even a legitimate engagement with reality. For example, they were calling for a minority business loan program. Had no idea that several exist. Another was saying they should get funneled government contracts. Anyone who works with the government is well aware of the various programs that prioritize and even guarantee MWBE participation.

I'll toss in Temecula. If you're a gambler the resort/casino there is fantastic. If not stay at the resort anyway and head out to wine country, golf, or detour to San Diego for a couple nights. Maybe the resort will have a fight you can catch while you're there.

Choosing MLK over Malcom X was a mistake.

Two things. First, since COVID the amount of business travel has cratered. Fewer business passengers means fewer folks that fly often and know what to expect/how to act. Fewer business passengers also means that demand is lower, sending prices lower for people who were formerly priced out of flying as a convenience (flying from Tampa to Atlanta is a convenience, it's maybe a 7 hour drive). Second, modernity generally has not done well in situations that used to be reserved for people with better manners. You can see this in the way people dress. The unspoken dress code for flying, at the absolute worst, used to be business casual. Now people fly in pajamas. Extrapolate this attitude to every facet of their lives/personalities.

This ain't rocket science. Mom or dad or both pimped her out and ***** went a little too far.

But can we discuss the news here? [Mod Edit: No, the point of the request was to have all the news easily scannable. If you click on the posting time, you will get a link you can copy and take over to the discussion thread. It was requested and it seems a reasonable ask, since last Pats week thread got totally infested with discussion of Patriots Teams Past. Might not work.] [User Edit: Hey! Who edited my post???]
