Covfefe-19 The 12th Part: The Only Thing Worse Than This New Board Is TrumpVirus2020

You put that rule in place and people will get shot. I mean ****wits are getting arrested because they can't get a ****ing Whopper. (btw that guy was at the Insurrection)

People are already dying. All over the place. The war is on.

Yeah but it is one thing to die cause you aren't vaccinated...it is another to die cause one of the ****wit unvaxxed opens fire when their 17 year old host asks for their vaxx card.

So? My sympathy ended a while ago. They PLAN on shooting to protect their freedumbs. Game on. But, I guess it’s just a matter of who gets shot. People trying to live by the rules or spreadnecks breaking them.

It's about Climate Change but only incidentally -- it's really about the failure of the people who occupy institutional positions of trust. That's why it's "don't look up." Don't look at the people occupying those slots because they have been trained to be functionaries of a system that has no inputs from reality. It's a meta-meta-metaverse of people trying to be too clever by half, always spinning, always looking for the edge, and always playing inside baseball, while the real world churns on and crushes human beings under the sheer weight of facts.

Our leadership became detached from reality sometime during its bureaucratization, and now it is only fit to make plans in the ether. And "everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth."

So, exactly like what The Wire was about.

I should see that someday.

The sucky thing is that the economy would largely back to full normal if we all got vaccinated as opposed to what it is now.

I guess the "consolation" is we couldn't have done it alone, though. Different countries tried different methods but they all keep getting ****ed as the new variants roll out. For a while I thought that if we had just all stayed inside for 30 days at the beginning -- literally don't let anybody out of their house -- then we would have had it all over with in the single initial spike and then literally nothing after. But it would have had to have been global.

I guess the best we could have done was lock our own population inside and ground every flight and every ship. If enough of the main players (US, China, India, Western Europe, Brazil, Indonesia) had done that, in lockstep, then maybe?

But obviously that was never gonna happen in a world where at least half the population in every nation is intellectually and emotionally simian. Gonna need another thousand years or so of, ahem, filtering.

You and me both.

[rufus]

You should. It's the best series to ever be on tv.

[Kepler]

Gonna have to go a long way to beat out West World S1, Legion S1, The Good Place, Mr. Robot, and The Prisoner.

Saw Westworld season 1. Meh. Arty, pretentious looking up your own arsehole, too clever by half. Yes, I liked it, a lot, but it was too in love with its own cleverness. And it's a fairytale. The only other one I've seen is Mr. Robot, and same opinion.

The Wire is here, rooted in the real world. It's life. Not my life, or yours, but it's someone's real living, breathing experience. The only show I've ever watched where I've felt physically sick after viewing a particular episode. ****ing Kennard.

Opinions vary.

[ScoobyDoo]

Talking about West World is bringing my bile to the surface over Season Three. Which could have been fabulous. Instead they ruined it much like they ruined GOT. Both of which first seasons cannot be topped IMO.

I thought you'd be taller.

Gee, I've never heard that before.
