    They were legit.

    I think it came down to population density and basic hygiene.

    Dying in the streets is a function of your medical system. We are fat, but we are rich; our fatties die indoors.

    Florida will feed patients to the gators before they admit they're handling COVID wrong. And they've got a lot of gators.

    Texas is having the issue currently where people with treatable medical conditions are dying because they cannot get a hospital bed because they're all taken up by anti-vaxx patients who lost that bet.

    Yesterday a good friend of mine lost a close friend to that exact issue.

    Meanwhile, one of our administrators, who didn't get the shot and was hospitalized with delta, called me and I asked how she was doing. She said she was doing great but asked if I had issues with shitting myself all the time. I joked that it's a side effect of livestock dewormer, which.... she is taking. And didn't make that connection.

    I've gotten to the point where I'm actively rooting for the anti-vaxxers to get what's coming to them.

    Just today I discovered a subreddit called Herman Cain Award. The schadenfreude is strong.

    So far it's the only bright spot in this pandemic.

    Was there an anti masking organized event nationwide? We had a bunch of yahoos outside the Walmart yesterday and I read about similar demonstrations in other states.

    I'm thinking about stirring the pot with my anti-vax brother-in-law.

    The wife's grandfather sold his house. He invited my wife and her mother, only those two, down to get keepsakes and stuff they wanted. Wife's brother trying to race down there before anyone else and probably load his truck up with the most valuable stuff.

    BIL hasn't spoken to the old man in at least 7 years. The grampa keeps calling me and saying he doesn't know why he's coming down, uninvited, because he ain't getting shit.

    I think I'm going to wait until they get about halfway there and tell the old man to call the brother and say he needs to get the shot before he gets there. I know he'll do it, he believes everyone should get the shot.

    These people just directly threaten people and walk away like they’re bulletproof. One of these retards are going to threaten the wrong person to their face, and they’re going to be found beaten and bound to a flagpole the next morning with their lopped-off balls in their mouth.

    What a bunch of utterly uninformed fucking crybabies.

    I was supposed to pick back up on classes for a masters degree this semester, but I decided to wait. My classes would have been online, of course. But I think the kid's school year is going to be chaotic and full of shutdowns and quarantines. And I can't handle the extra workload from those classes while he is home, at all.

    Masks are mandatory here for schools, I will do whatever I can to back up any teacher against any parents that try to make an issue out of it.

    If it's your wife's brother, proceed cautiously. If it's your sister's husband, fire a full broadside.

    Yeah, it's the wife's brother. But, fuck him, he's an ungrateful little shit that takes from everyone around him, and he's trying to go down their and bully an 80+ year old man out of gold inlaid tea sets and valuable clocks or anything he can pawn.

    I wish I could be a fly on the wall.

    Here because COVID related, but this is a serious matter:

    And surprise! School board members now thinking of quitting from the intimidation, to be replaced by who?

    He’ll bring “twenty strong men”? He must have used lines like this all the time before getting his ass kicked in the past.

    I highly doubt any retarded fat fuck that he brings is strong enough to stop a bullet fired from a gun, so maybe these people should stop openly boasting threats. Their intended victims eventually won’t stand for it.
