@agoradefense @Mesooohahny Luckily, I don't have a single location near me. I've never even heard of Shake Shack until now.

@Venom_artist @Binkle @freedompatriot That having been said: Self reliance is the best defense against tyranny. They can’t starve you into compliance if you grow your own food. Even better if you establish community networks. Make friends with your neighbors, manage a garden, learn new skills.

@Mesooohahny That New York mayor has forever ruined my appetite for fries.

@beardalaxy @icedquinn Even then, I think you are better off using GameMaker or Construct or better yet write your own engine, so you can suffer like me.

Wasting time 

There are so many things in media that I'd like to consume, but I keep spending my free time on browsing the internet, reading articles and board threads.

It is so very hard to stop and when I manage to get through it, I often wonder where my time went. Maybe it will be somehow useful, but I know that I'd be a lot happier just playing a game or watching an anime, which I do rarely in comparison.

@verita84 Every attempt at one ends with internal political drama though.

@LukeAlmighty @houseoftolstoy Modern "science" is just whatever government institution says is fact. Real science is supposed to be a free market of ideas, so to speak. While there is one objective truth, scientists are supposed to compete on who is right. This is the way it's been done for thousands of years, but now it's whatever suits government interests.

@houseoftolstoy
Except people who say trust the science do not mean trust the scientist

They mean trust the news article written by a politically charged activist who maybe red a research paper that was released only because a politically charged company paid for a one-sided research by a scientist, who knew he won't get paid again, if he finds the opposite result...

So yeah.... I don't trust the science.

There is no such thing as "trusting the science." Rather, it is not a what but a who we place our trust in. Anyone who says "trust the science" actually means "trust the scientists," whether they know it or not.

And scientists are people like anyone else. Capable of biases, corruption, incompetence, and being incorrect. But the science worshipers do not understand this, they see "the science" as infallible.

both things can be true:

the 2020 election was stolen

and

Trump is a big fat orange retard who betrayed the people who voted for him

@Jdogg247 What do you expect from a country where it is illegal to ride a bike without a helmet?

We need to stop worrying about cases and only focus on hospitalizations. I’m willing to bet this kid isn’t really showing any symptoms. The pandemic has ended for all intents and purposes if we stop using outdated metrics like case counts. We protected the old and vulnerable the best we could with the mystery shot time to move on ,and the way to do that is by focusing on metrics that matter like hospitalization rates and death rates…

@Jdogg247 It wasn't an insurrection, it was a Boomer LARP that was pretty damn tame compared to the rioting done by Burn, Loot, Murder.
