It's a lack of education. We know.

More like a willing refusal to be educated.

Yeah, I get it. Only vaxxed people have the right to be a walking biohazzard. So nobody would have a problem with them infecting the immunosuppressed since there's a less likely chance of it happening. Instead of banning unvaccinated kids, wouldn't it make more sense to ban the kids that actually have the freaking measles? Then when it subsides they can return to school. And I don't get the seatbelt analogy. The argument is how measles affects others, not yourself. How do your wearing a seatbelt benefit someone that doesn't?

I suppose that's a tiny pinhole in the analogy. Human projectile, I suppose.

Guess I need a better analogy, but my argument stands. Making people less likely to have measles in the first place reduces the chance of it spreading.

Yeah but what if they don't even have the measles? BTW, approximately 20-30% of people that caught the measles in the current outbreak were already vaxxed. Want to ban them too since they can theoretically still spread the disease?

The mistake here is binary thinking - vaccines are not 100% effective (but it doesn't mean they're useless). They greatly reduce the risk of contracting these illnesses. The more people vaccinated, the more the risk goes down.

It's like saying people still die in cars while wearing seatbelts.

Good. In this case, public safety outweighs "freedom", in much the same way as mandatory seatbelts. You don't have the "right" to be a walking biohazard to the rest of society, especially the immunosuppressed.

I can tell this is the same backwards argument of equating a heartbeat with life, and not brain activity. Thanks for romanticizing a muscle, old guys.

I'm left-handed. I wear my watch on my right so it doesn't get in the way.

Problem is, I'm cross-dominant and pretty much anything that isn't writing or using utensils is for my right hand.

Occasionally but I haven't worn or bought any in a while. I usually tend to smell good just from being a clean person and using decent soap

I don't naturally smell of amber and sandalwood, and I like to. Works for me.

Your coworker is a man. Let him be a man and go to HR himself. He's not some little girl that needs protecting. Sounds like YOU'RE the one misgendering him too.

Depends on the season, but it's never expensive. Generally something like Cool Water in the summertime (and very light), and B&BW Dark Amber once it starts getting cooler.

Bad news, they discontinued Dark Amber. Good news, they brought it back very briefly for a sale and the girlfriend hoarded it so I always have a supply. Apparently a fan.

I have it in my library but haven't played it. I know people use "walking simulator" as a pejorative, but I'm in the mood for some mildly interactive fiction today.

Good. Representation is a good thing. They're good enough writers that I'm fairly confident they'll write a complex character that has more to him than trans-ness.

Ikr? Punk has to be my all time favorite pro wrestler and boy do I hope he returns to WWE in-ring in some kind of meaningful capacity.

I hope so. He's one of my top five greats on the mic, and he has skills to back it up. They might not have translated well to UFC, but oh well. He knows the business and isn't afraid to speak his mind, and I'd still be happy if he was just a commentator from here on.

I have to admit, I marked the fuck out when I heard that static burst. When he hesitated at the ramp, I was totally expecting him to check to see if it was clobberin' time.

I generally like "walking simulators" for the same reasons I like visual novels and adventure games (let's just call it all "interactive fiction").

Sometimes I want to play something that has just some interactivity, but is mostly as part of telling a story. I want to play a movie that involves me in the story and offers choices that can steer the plot. Sometimes I don't want to challenge my reflexes or puzzle brain, but I don't want something completely passive.

I can't pass judgement on Death Stranding as I haven't played it yet, but I'm just confused by the pejorative.

You know some fat chicks I've dated were REALLY cool but others have this "queen bee" personality and I REALLY don't get where it comes from. Probably a coping mechanism.

Get bullied and rejected for long enough and I guess the pendulum's liable to swing to one extreme or another.
