N-Nuh-uh! It's just the flu you big babies! I want a haircut! I want to eat at diners! I want to go to bars! The quarantine violates my rights! Coronavirus is unconstitutional! WAAAAAAAAHHHHHH

I'm still not too sure if a 0.5% death rate is worth completely wrecking an economy over, though. Particularly if it's going to be here for the foreseeable future.

Really hope he can be charged for all the deaths based on his stupid actions during this.

What about the other first world leaders? Do you feel the same about them too? Because there's quite a few FIRST world countries that have a higher death rate than the U.S.

"I think that at some point thats going to, sort of, just disappear I hope"

The spineless mayor finally came to her senses. Why couldn't she have done this sooner? Tolerating things like this promotes and encourages more bad behavior. Give them a little, they'll want more.

Oh, wow.

What is so surprising about his statement? A lot of "Hollywood" and entertainers do happen to be Jewish. It's not really a secret. I guess the question would be if there is favoritism.

Reading more, so apparently Adam and his mother are saying she has been trying to file lawsuits against her family for monetary gain for a while now?

While I hope that my sister gets the help she needs to find peace, this needs to end. For many years, she has relentlessly and falsely attacked me and other members of my family to anyone who will listen."
"By spreading numerous untrue stories about us in pursuit of a financial bonanza, she has tortured our entire family and estranged herself from all of us," he continued. "I will fight this groundless and offensive lawsuit and work to put this to rest once and for all."
His mother Karen Savage also issued a statement via Brettler, saying, "It makes me very sad to say this, but my daughter suffers from severe mental health challenges, and it's devastating that she's putting Adam and our entire family through this. Adam is a good man, and I support him completely."

It would be nearly impossible to prove he did that to her, especially since this quote seems like the family is against her also.

If she has indeed filed multiple frivolous lawsuits in order to try to gain money, it certainly doesn't seem like this is a lawsuit that would work out in her favor

I can sit outside in the shade wearing shorts and a short sleeved shirt until the cows come home. Even better if there was a breeze or a fan.

They should enforce a rule like that for everybody. However, that doesnt change the accuracy of what I said about you.

You said I'm not in it for the genuine concern or understanding. What is there to understand, exactly? Am I supposed to understand why their hate speech rule is the way it is and doesn't apply to everyone?

I'm terribly sorry for a split second I assumed an American based site was referring to the majority in the U.S. And even gave an example of why they probably are (RE: Do you really think Reddit will allow hate speech against Asians but not white people?)

I thought the same thing, but TC isnt in this for genuine concern or understanding so instead its just pure victim complex.

Though others mentioned it's a global site, and white people aren't technically the majority in the world, I somehow doubt they would allow hate speech against Asians but not white people.

Either way, seems like a bad policy. If you're going to have a hate speech rule... why not enforce it across the board?

"Rule 1: Remember the human. Reddit is a place for creating community and belonging, not for attacking marginalized or vulnerable groups of people. Everyone has a right to use Reddit free of harassment, bullying, and threats of violence. Communities and people that incite violence or that promote hate based on identity or vulnerability will be banned.

Marginalized or vulnerable groups include, but are not limited to, groups based on their actual and perceived race, color, religion, national origin, ethnicity, immigration status, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, pregnancy, or disability. These include victims of a major violent event and their families.
While the rule on hate protects such groups, it does not protect all groups or all forms of identity. For example, the rule does not protect groups of people who are in the majority or who promote such attacks of hate."

I would say the biggest thing that directly affected my life would be the tax cuts. I'm saving easily over $1,000 each year.

There's a lot of other things I like that he's done that I think help others and is good for our country overall, but I guess I can't technically say XYZ policy literally impacted and improved my life because of Trump.

I refuse to believe that a user named after a Texan city cannot eat 32 nuggets.

Now that I'm looking through the bag it's probably close to 50 nuggets because theres more than 4 in each bag. This is ridiculous

---

"Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory." - Dr Seuss

I ordered 8 nuggets and got 32. I even told the guy in the window I didnt order all this. He just said "oh they're just packed in multiple bags" so I drove off.

Why would they do this? Did they just want to get rid of them? I didnt see a homeless person on the way home or I would have given them away. Now I have to toss all this extra food and that makes me sad

Do you have examples of POC exhibiting Karen behavior and not being called one? And no, a public freak out doesnt instantly mean Karen. Its the ones who throw a fit and destroy a store because they were asked to wear a mask and trivial things like that.

Sure, here's one. Would you constitute this as destroying a store? I sure would.

You bolded a quote from someone. Good job. Do you have examples of POC exhibiting Karen behavior and not being called one? And no, a public freak out doesnt instantly mean Karen. Its the ones who throw a fit and destroy a store because they were asked to wear a mask and trivial things like that. Its just coincidence that the people who do that most tend of overlap categories.

You can read the whole Wikipedia page about it. The whole thing indicates it's a pejorative for a white woman. If you Google "What is a Karen?" there's also plenty of articles that all reference it being a word exclusively for white women.

So I think you're wrong saying it's a term used for everyone. It's not.

And of course there's examples of people of all races behaving entitled/badly in a store. If you think only white woman do it, you're kidding yourself.

But I see it used for other races. I also see it used for males. It just so happens to mostly be white women that exhibit speak to your manager behavior.

Do you have any examples? Particularly a mainstream example of a Karen from another race? I haven't seen any other examples. Wikipedia also suggests it is used towards one race.

"There has been some debate as to whether "Karen" is a slur.[11] While the term is used exclusively in a pejorative manner towards a person of a specific race and gender, some have argued that "Karen" lacks the historical context to be considered a slur, and that calling it one trivializes actual discrimination.[12] Others argue that the targets of the term have immense privilege, and that "an epithet that lacks the power to discriminate is just an insult."[11] Hadley Freeman argued that use of the meme has become less about describing behavior than controlling it and "telling women to shut up".[13] Jennifer Weiner, writing in the New York Times during the 2020 coronavirus pandemic, said the meme had succeeded in silencing her, saying she had had to balance her desire to complain about a nearby man coughing into the open air, hawking and spitting on the sidewalk, with her fear of being called a Karen.[14]"

It's not. Is Debbie Downer a slur?

Debbie Downer is applied to people of all races, though. If people are only using Karen to highlight a white woman who is entitled/upset then I think that could be considered a bit racist.

I never thought people would get offended at a joke aimed towards insufferable entitled people, but the dorks on CE found a way lol.

The term seems to be used to only describe people of a particular race, so I'd say that would make the term problematic.

Or are you demanding to let them in? To hell with other people's opinions, etc.

Roadster makes a valid point. We need to be more open minded and LET THEM IN. Anyone should have the right to post on CE. We should also stop labeling specific boards by names because thats extremely problematic

I'm thankful for Trump, but I sometimes think other leaders could be better and really get this unrest under control

I'm not too familiar with the nursing industry. What's the different between a Nurse and a NP? Any pay differences? Is one "higher" than the other?

Nursing pays quite a bit from what I know, though, so if it is something you want to do I would say absolutely go for it.
