One day you're a black woman saying that you don't trust an injection forced in you by a bunch of old white guys, then the same day, the same moment in fact, you're a white supremacist.

If the businesses enforce the vaccine mandate, it would actually make SENSE to go after them this time. It never made sense for BLM to attack businesses, even black-owned businesses, in the past.

And this is only the COVID vaccine passport that would be required to enter bars and shit.

The COVID vaccine passport to travel (enter the country), which is what most people think of when they hear "passport," is still active.

This is exactly the problem. There is so much tyranny going on, that it's impossible to address it all. They jump forward ten steps, then concede back one and we think it's a victory. Over and over again.

Next they'll enact this same thing, except it will also include grocery stores and hospitals or whatever. It'll be met with outrage, so they'll pull the grocery store and hospital line from it, enact it, and we'll all claim it's a victory, even though they'll have enacted the exact thing that is currently being scrapped.

Then after that they'll enact something that applies to grocery stores, hospitals, and just stepping outside. They'll pull the stepping outside part and we'll claim victory, while they pass the grocery stores and hospitals part.

That was bizarre. He approached her the same way you'd approach an animal you are trying to catch.

These people simultaneously say that conservatives work against their own interest and that conservatives are selfish.

Thank about that.

Likewise we should deny smokers, willfully obese people, and drug users ICU beds when they can't breathe, have a heart attack, or overdose respectively.

Possibly, but they surely recognize the effects I've described and know that this type of thing, as crazy as it seems, is "safe."

It's not hard to see that companies of all sorts recognize that pushing leftist crap in their marketing or policy is "safe" because conservative have life too good to actually commit to a boycott, whereas doing the same with conservative principles is often a death sentence.

This sounds like nothing more than a marketing scheme and reverse psychology.

They know that nobody who is put off by these demands would have ever bought a game called "Thirsty Sword Lesbians" in the first place; but these demands 1) get people making posts like this, which are ultimately free advertising and 2) ironically make some people buy the game in protest because they were told they weren't allowed

Yes. That was my point.

It's the exact same, but saying "per 1 million people" seems to make the number seem less than it actually is. Probably because it tricks people's brains into thinking about 1-2 people per 1 million people, which their brain subconsciously recognize as a small number.

It's intentionally deceptive.

And you also have the people who see things like this, recognize the oddity, and then give the post or article the benefit of the doubt. There are people who will read an article that words things intentionally weirdly to be deceptive, recognize the oddity, and then think "oh, that must just be a typo, they clearly mean the thing that most people would think this means, and not what it literally says." It's crazy.

And it happens all of the time.

1-2% per 1 million people

Such a bizarre way of trying to minimize how big 1-2% actually is by redundantly throwing that large number in there.

Calling someone who is skeptical of something "anti-science" is probably the single most "anti-science" thing you can do.

I mean, is that one of the porn ones? Twitch is pretty big on not allowing porn.

Still, Twitter has shown they ban for actions off the platform all of the time and we all know they could find a bullshit excuse of something he's posted on their platform if they really wanted to. For how "extreme" he is compared to a lot of others who have been banned, it's wild he hasn't yet.

It was/is legal to mandate flu vaccines and some employers did so, including some federal government jobs. However, they offered religious and medical exemptions.

HIPAA doesn't apply here. Well, it does, but not in a way that would prevent them from requiring them. HIPAA would prevent them from phoning up your doctor for verification, but does not prevent them from asking you to provide proof (or even giving them permission to phone your doctor.) HIPAA also prevents the employers from disclosing that information to others. That is, they can require you tell them your vaccination status, but they cannot pass that information along to your coworkers without your consent.

In the past at those federal government jobs I was talking about (I won't go into detail to protect my identity), the flu vaccine mandate was completely unenforced... they didn't even ask me to fill out the form as a contractor. However, this past year they decided to start enforcing it.

The form states very explicitly that the employer may not let known your vaccination status. That is, if you have an exemption, they can't let that be known to your coworkers without your consent.

What is interesting, though, is that this form (which is very professionally done, not just some crappy form some dumb manager made up), was updated this year. This year it states that if you have any exemption from the flu vaccine (medical or religious), you would be required to wear a mask. Clearly, this change was done haphazardly as there's no way to enforce that without letting known your vaccination status.

Not to mention that it makes no sense. The argument for wearing a mask with COVID is that you can supposedly have it and not have symptoms. The same really isn't true with the flu. There is not scientific justification for this... or really requiring the flu vaccine at all. So long as people aren't showing up to work sick, they're not putting others at risk by not having a flu vaccine.

The only justification I can think of is them wanting to maximize your time at work by minimizing your sick time by preventing you from getting sick. Which is fine, I guess, but the mask thing makes no sense.
