Ongoing coronavirus happenings

Sadly, politics is so polarised that if Nicola announced that “Drinking concentrated sulphuric acid is bad for you, don’t do it!”, Deep orange yoon Twitter would be off ordering bottles of the stuff before the day was out.

Not that they’d need to, of course, they have access to unending volumes of vitriol as it is.

Twitter is more polarized than politics actually is.

Welcome to Earth, 2020 AD. Twitter is politics.

Yes. Actual politics, especially in the U.S., is mostly on the side of the 1%.

My point being that twitter gives the impression that there is vastly more support for certain ideas than actually exists. A discussion of how twitter amplifies fringe thought, and is a perfect medium for disinformation is outside of scope for this thread though.

The brazilian newspaper o Globo published today a list with the names of 10.627 victims of Covid.

I think it is too much for me. I am not afraid or scared. It makes me sad.

The newspaper roughly said:

10,627 killed by Covid-19

Behind the harsh coldness of this issue are life stories. And counting them on our front page is our way of paying homage

I have friends who are Sikh. I can’t even imagine what it took to make that choice.

I mean, other than human decency, a true belief in their faith, stuff like that.

I hope they contest it.

FTFY.

I’ve met a lot of guys like this, and they just don’t like being told no. They especially don’t like being told no by beta males, like a “lame security guard” in the “ghetto”. After all, this guy is supposed to have all the power, and to have this beta male wage slave security guard. Saying “please Mr Security Guard, please let me in” would also count as a loss. So the only solution is violence, threats of violence, or going after his job or family.
