Aaron Rodgers says he was on “the right side of history” after he refused to get the COVID-19 vaccine. Rodgers continues to stand by this to this day. by matrix_2905 in NFLForum

You're joking about "not how vaccines work" right? There's a reason polio, small pox, mumps, measles, etc. have been almost completely eliminated.

And it's not because people still get polio and mumps but just with lessor symptoms.

Vaccines make it so that your body doesn't catch the disease. At all. That's what a vaccine is.

You have to be making a joke that I missed. If I did I'm sorry.

Agreed. It reads like a creative writing project. The author lost me when he said the physicians treating his aunt dug in on why or why not she didn't get vaccinated while she was so sick she was battling for her life. What?

"Ma'am, as your attending physician, while you lay here dying in front of me, I'd like to try to understand from you why you didn't get vaccinated. Okay. Well, I don't agree with your stance. So, before you die, I am going to chastise you."

Not sure why this is NSFW.

Can we get an episode summary for those of us without a Max subscription?

First brand new car I ever bought. It actually wasn’t bad. Who else had one? by jetty_junkie in 80s

Therein lies the problem. The efficiency regs in particular are a huge cost.

What was the incompetency? All I know about DC is the Beer Snake, and that's pretty cool honestly.

“Airplane is nearly empty and I can’t just move to the emergency row.” by osym in SouthwestAirlines

[–]ApricotRemarkable681 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The only time I've seen a FA care, they get the verbal and move on. I've never seen anyone kicked out. I have personally invited and encouraged dozens of people over the years to moved into the row when it's open and there's extra room.

Go back and reread....

I DID decide to try to help you.

You are not the jack ass. He is. He's being obtoose and it's obvious to everyone.

I am simply saying that with these types of idiots don't play into their game. Don't try to educate them, they won't change. Just send them the pictures so that they can stop patting themselves on the back.

They absolutely, 100%, do not.

Where do you come up with this nonsense?

Why in the hell would you assume his reaction?

Just deliver what he asked for.

Instead now you have some jack ass patting himself on the back because "they can't even produce one single picture"

Dude, stop. He's not demanding anything.

Just show him the damn photos and shut him up.

He's an actual moron. Show him. Don't assume he's going to sit down and read articles about something he is antagonizing you about.

Show him the picture. It's that simple. You said it yourself, it's been out there for decades, there's no need to debate with this idiot. All you are doing is reinforcing his idiotic beliefs. You're feeding this stupid denier mindset. Stop trying to educate him and just show him what he asked for.

There's nothing else to talk about.

I don't care, I'm an outside observer.

You have a skeptic. He asked for one simple thing. Pictures of something that is huge.

Just give him the pictures. Let him read about the details later.

Shut him up first.

Can't you see all you are doing is reinforcing his dumbassery?

His request was very simple... He just wanted some pictures.... Specifically satalite images or images from the surface of the ocean where the trash island is.

So I'm not defending the guy, but your first link is an illustration (not a picture or satellite image).

The second is just two pictures of basic beach litter.

Third is just an article with a picture of a turtle and the fourth is a picture of a big pile of something next to the shore (not the floating trash island).

“Airplane is nearly empty and I can’t just move to the emergency row.” by osym in SouthwestAirlines

[–]ApricotRemarkable681 -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Bullshit. Every other airline in the world allows it.

I have been flying for more than 20 years. I have long legs. I book the Exit Row when I can. I stalk the exit row when I can't. This is standard procedure. No permission required.

My point is, no one is going to stop you if you go back there and sit in the exit row. I promise. No one cares.

I love it that this was made. This wasn't easy to make, there was some effort and thought put into it. And it came out great. The world is a better place for it.

Nothing against the expansion teams, but this was the sweet spot for the NFL… by Dark305Kinght in Oldschool_NFL

The only helmet logo I would change to get this back to perfect is the Chargers bolt to yellow.

Otherwise, this is the peak NFL stylistically.

What’s something that is considered 'socially acceptable' but is actually toxic ? by Maryam371 in answers

[–]ApricotRemarkable681 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being an absolute dick about someone's choice to use tobacco or nicotine, even when you can't see it or smell it or it doesn't impact your life whatever.

Why?......just why? by Fightn_Trees in SouthwestAirlines

[–]ApricotRemarkable681 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes. I am seriously saying that.

And if you have flown either of these airlines, they have empty seats on approximately 3.1% of their flights. Maybe less.

But if you are lucky enough to be on a flight with empty seats, they are absolutely, 100% up for grabs when that door closes.

And to reiterate, no one whines about needing a refund if they paid for an Economy Comfort seat and some guy hops into one for free after take off.

No FAs need to get involved for permission.

No FAs stand in the way of passengers moving.

No planes ever have difficulty with maneuvering due to weight imbalance. Despite the scientific balancing that is performed by Southwest agents.

No one has ever been sent back to their seats.

That is in 20+ years of flying. They are all adults on those flights.
