I’m still not sure what the fuss is about. A vaccine that the FDA seems to have the same formulation as the EUA vaccine has been approved. Tom’s text wall just seems like he is trying to cope with the reality that vaccines aren’t killing people.

He'll just keep.pushing the date back, like Trump's reinstatement.

So next month we'll all die by Christmas.
After that sometime in 2022.
Eventually he'll push it back to 2100 and proclaim victory.

If government has the authority to do this, then they will also have authority to pull you off life support.

I mean... Your insurance company and the hospital already have this power.  And you're afraid of the guys who need your support every 2-4 years?  As opposed to the guys you can't live without? (And can't change because they're all the same)

Basically a bunch of baby healthcare staff quit instead of get a shot.
I hope they get no Unemployment and they starve! 

Fucking whiny bitches.

Those hospitals are far better off without them. Unvaccinated they would not be healers but killers.

Except now maternity services are suspended and other staff are stretched thin.

"We want you to live so much that we will make sure you cannot work in order to put a roof over your head or food in your stomach if you do not comply." - Joe Biden

I don't think thats a thing he said.

Yeah, he pretty much did say exactly that.

He also stated, "We are going to protect the vaccinated against the unvaccinated."

LMMFAO.

They can give me the shot of my choice when it comes time.

Then you should probably quote what he literally said, not what he "pretty much" said.  Paraphrasing is not your strong suit.

I know what he literally stated.

Yet continue to not quote him properly.  Much like Trump and his "huge evidence" of election fraud, I suspect you are lying and don't actually know what he said.  But please, prove me wrong.

I don't need to quote exactly what he stated.

The essence of what he stated is this. You comply with these directives or you do not work.

I'm asking you to, as to lend credibility to your statement.  Why is this so hard for you?  What are you trying to avoid?  Because if you're right, you have nothing to worry about.  But if you're lying, well... You have everything to hide.

I know the logical conclusion of not being able to work if your not vaccinated.

Same as if you get sick: you don't work.  Or you lie and say you're hung over.  Pretty simple.

Ergo, I am right and you, as usual, are wrong.

The world will be a much better place when you and people of your ilk are gone.

Considering I didn't say you were wrong, just bad at paraphrasing, I'm curious what I am wrong about.

Most everything in your life.

Good to know that you're stalking me and have spent unknown hours reading about my life.

Also... Why would me and my ilk be gone?  We're the followers.  The sheep.  We're the ones the powers want to keep.  You, however, are a problem for the New World Order.

Unless your ilk are the ones who are poisoning the vaccines to kill everyone else.

Yes, you would love for everyone to believe you are a sheep.

Don't you already think that?  Or are you the sheep?
I'm confused.

I have a friend who has to reinstall his linux distro every year.
Because it sucks balls.

That just sounds like user error. Most web servers and IoT devices run on Linux. I reinstall Windows from time to time, but that's because I have random shit all over the place that I don't want to manually clean up. That's not the fault of the OS.

He uses Seus and my understanding is that he needs to reinstall to do major updates.

You mean OpenSuse? He's doing something wrong.

Suse is mostly focused on the enterprise server market. It's pretty stable and easy to upgrade. OpenSuse is more community supported than the enterprise version, and it is still easy to upgrade and pretty stable from what I've seen although I haven't used it nearly as much as some other distros.

If you really mean Seus, I'm entirely unfamiliar with what that might be.

Yeah, that.  OpenSuse.

Also driver support is shit.  Like half the time when we chat via google hangouts, he had to restart it because his camera came up with bad colors.

I'm with Tom on this one.

A fight on 9/11 is irrelevant.  9/11 isn't some holy day.  Its just a day of rememberance, a day that loses meaning the further and further away from the events we go.

Just like how Pearl Harbour Day is just another day for 99% of Americans.

Hey Tom..
What's the official word on why Trump not attending the memorial service and instead commenting on a fight is actually good for America and the fight against Terror?

Not sure why you think that he has to attend one certain function on the event but not another. He went to New York and spoke to the police and fire departments:

Didn't know he did his own thing.
Kinda makes sense.  None of the other former presidents probably wanted him there.

Thanks Tom.

« on: September 11, 2021, 12:42:01 PM »

I hate MS Windows! When is this fucked up planet going to get its shit together and move to a Linux platform!

OK... I feel better now.

Every iteration of Windows pisses me off more and more. People who won't show their source code want my email address just to boot up their OS. They make it harder every year to run a Windows machine without a Microsoft account.             F00k dat.

I rip Cortana out of the registry, delete and kill it but it still sends spam to my inbox. I don't need malware emailing me to 'Have a great Thursday!'

Oh! and BTW, that 'free' Windows 10 upgrade is shit! It's a 32 bit version of Windows 10. WTF! What idiot thinks we need or want a 32 bit version of any Windows anymore! And this punk-ass version is still packed with garbageware constipating my system.

In every new version, they take out features I use and add crap I will never use.

Many of the new Linux distros have polished GUIs that will allow even the most tech-illiterate primate to find porn and order crap on Amazon. I would have switched every computer in my life to Linux except that most of the world only speaks 'Windows'. There are so many hardware peripherals I use that won't interact with Linux that I'm stuck with Windows. Microsoft has me by the balls and I hate them for it.

I have a friend who has to reinstall his linux distro every year.
Because it sucks balls.
I don't use my email to log into windows.  I use a local account.
Cortana is off and I don't get cortana emails into my gmail.
I got the 64 bit free upgrade.  Not sure why you didn't.


Linux is a collection of 200 people who decided to make an OS by themselves and hope it works together.  Its an ungodly mess of cobbled together shit that barely works with one distro version and may work with others, unless the person maintaining it decides to change it for no reason.

There is no QA.  No standardization.  You have as many repositories as distros.

Most Linux distros are crap because they're made by people who don't work together.

ok, so the four anti-vaxxers in our west coast facility all got sick at the same time and crippled their warehouse. It's not a large operation and they have been struggling for the last two weeks to keep the business going while half their shipping crew is out.

Two are still too sick to work, one should be back tomorrow and one is in ICU. His wife and child are in the same hospital on a different floor. The absolute saddest part is that he was in the hospital bed posting anti vax propaganda from his phone right up until he was moved to ICU. Meanwhile, all the right wing media mouth holes that convinced him not to wear a mask, not to get the vaccine are all vaccinated. Their families are all vaccinated. Even King of All Dumbasses, Trump is vaccinated.

In America, many employers offer health insurance as part of compensation. Anyone without health insurance who faces a major medical incident could be in debt the rest of their life. Even with health insurance, you could spend years paying off medical expenses that aren't covered by your policy. When we hire someone who smokes cigarettes, the cost to insure them is much higher. As the cost of insurance is going up, the company has to decide whether to reduce benefits with cheaper policies or make employees pay part of the premium. This guy is consuming thousands of dollars of medical resources a day which is going to impact our already crushing insurance costs. If you think the vaccine is some financial scam, you need to look at how the insurance companies and health care industry have been collaborating to plunder the American economy for decades.

Of course, just like the guy in ICU. The anti vax crowd is going to call me a liar. They will say this family was hospitalized in a motorcycle wreck or they have been hired as 'crisis actors'.

Some people are too god damn stubborn.  They will scream the Titanic is unsinkable, even as they go under.

Why is this hard for you to understand, AllAround?

Here try this: you can save only one of your two children.  Who are 5 year old twins.
Does making a choice mean you valued one over the other?  Fuck no!  Means you had to choose.  Period.  Done.  End of fucking definition.  Whatever metric brought you to the choice is irrelevant.  They are both of equal value to you, but uou still chose one over the other.

And in the case of animals or humans, well, if you gotta pick one, you pick based on whatever pre-engrained preferences are in your head.  Especially in a high stress situation.  And in the case of humans vs non-humans, humans vs other humans, or humans vs self... Its all about preference and emotional attachment.  And you are always more emotionally attached to your own species, children, and self than a dog.

Species bias.
We all do it.  Most animals probably do it too.  Value is not really the best word because two objects of equal value but you can only have one... Doesn't mean you get both anyway or choose neither.
