  • Look -- if I don't win this thing after all this talk, I’m in trouble. Will you please go vote?

    I came here, whatever the hell time it is, who the hell knows? I'm giving you the full bore. You wouldn’t let me leave in half an hour. I could have run up here, done it, started screaming, "Make America Great Again!" five or six times, and then left to the cheers of the crowd -- I would have been home sleeping right now. I hope to hell that you're gonna get your asses out and vote!









  • the aerosols are technically droplets of liquid yes, but they are physically distinct from what we usually call "droplets" in the sense of the spittle that comes out of your mouth and doesn't stay in the air for long.

    covid is in both. distancing helps with avoiding the larger droplets, handwashing helps with potentially picking up virus from those droplets on surfaces you touch, but neither of those help with the aerosols which is why respirators are of critical importance in avoiding the spread of covid.

    so yes you can be technically correct by saying that the aerosols are also droplets but it's still important to draw the distinction between the two and mitigate the risks from both.


  • I wear masks everywhere I share air with people and request anyone that enters my home does the same. there's social pressure everywhere to not wear them, but I'd rather deal with social pressure than risk getting covid. it's a threat to any part of your body that uses blood and thus worth tremendous effort to avoid where practicable.



  • why would I play a game that was marketed in a way that makes me not like it at all? I don't need to be "informed" by being exposed to gameplay. it's not naive to reject something based on how it was sold to me lmao. it's not my fault that the marketing people are casting the game in such a bad light
