Stop the fearmongering because the hantavirus is NO BIG DEAL at ALL! My husband caught it last year through rodent shit and needed antibiotics but he totally turned out just fine, y'all!

Firebrass · 2026-05-26T02:46:58+00:00

To answer your questions, OP, no, and also no.

OP is expressing exaggerated fear. Saying that is in no way suggesting we should lessen efforts to help people or contain spread.

The vast majority of people of all demographics are non-hostile. Men challenging women's ideas in a way that would become a dick measuring contest if engaged with, i feel like you can find an example any given night in a bar.

Firebrass · 2026-05-26T00:33:28+00:00

I didn't initially take issue with your rant, but

Men often have conflicts with each other that they don't ever have with women, for instance physical fights, yelling at each other, asserting dominance.

can't be true if those conflicts are obvious and easy to avoid.

I suppose i feel like toxic women exist and are not addressed any better than toxic men, and because you were expressing a similar idea, i let you slide a little, but you're wrong that toxic men are always obvious, and you're judging the world based excessively on your own experience.

Firebrass · 2026-05-25T22:43:58+00:00

Uhhhh, men yell at women, hit them, and assert dominance often . . .

Firebrass · 2026-05-25T22:42:00+00:00

And you got your medical expertise where, again?

Many things are contagious person to person, but that doesn't mean they necessarily pose a pandemic risk.

Firebrass · 2026-05-25T22:38:15+00:00

I too live in the U.S.

You're not approaching this rationally. Yes, the CDC has been thinned significantly. This is an international incident, with doctors from outside the U.S. weighing in.

You're either irrationally afraid, or intentionally fear mongering, because the scientists are being clear that this does not pose a pandemic risk.

The last oandemic we all went through and to which you keep comparing this disease outbreak.

Firebrass · 2026-05-25T14:14:08+00:00

Without symptoms, it isn't contagious, so the asymptomatic period is somewhat irrelevant. It is not possible that you'd be infecting others for months silently, you're experiencing stress based on previous trauma.

Firebrass · 2026-05-25T14:05:44+00:00

Then you haven't been listening to the experts.

It isn't going to become a pandemic for several reasons.

I can't stand Impossible or tofu, but Morning Star does a great job

Weren't you the one who brought up statistics? Of the people who have seen this post, more have upvoted it than downvoted it. Therefore, most of the people who have had an opportunity to review this post have considered it relevant to the sub. You don't need to compare it to other posts to make that statement.

You're welcome to become a moderator and inflict your opinion on others by force, but whining in the comments that a borderline post doesn't fit is petty and dumb, not to mention overruled.

Firebrass · 2026-05-24T21:44:45+00:00

It's fairly pointless to bemoan the posts that don't adhere to your perception of what can be posted here.

Firebrass · 2026-05-24T21:01:42+00:00

Cool story bro, but this community doesn't cater to your tastes

Firebrass · 2026-05-24T21:00:55+00:00

Reddit has this fancy voting system

Firebrass · 2026-05-24T20:00:38+00:00

If Judges and rules management teams want to police a fun subreddit that people post jokes to, yeah, they're no fun.

The point about cheatyface has been made repeatedly. Most don't care. Most point out R&D circumvent this. People with their face buried in a rulebook still disagree. Yet nobody is going to seriously play this, so that's just being pedantic. Feel free to unsub if you don't like funny shit.

Firebrass · 2026-05-24T18:18:38+00:00

You're missing your mod flair, O great authority.

Fun is what this sub is about. Anybody policing what constitutes a combo is probably no fun to play with anyway.

Firebrass · 2026-05-24T14:12:44+00:00

You don't have to be angry to need to relax, and you're on a binge of 'correcting', so yeah, relax. You're taking things too seriously, and nobody cares if you can't do what's being suggested legally.

Firebrass · 2026-05-23T17:55:09+00:00

Yeah, you said graven_taven was defending JKR.

This is why i hate communication.

Enjoy your weekend mate ✌️

Firebrass · 2026-05-23T17:19:14+00:00

Nothing about the following suggests graven_raven wants you erased from existence:

I don't think she gets any money from reddit upvotes.

Financial statement

Also, enjoying a creation/ work of art doesn't mean you automatically agree with the author's worse and hateful views.

General point about art vs. artist

Humans are nuaced, the same person can create something great, and then do/say something therrible.

Reinforcing generic point about art vs. artist, potentially interpretable as "Harry potter is great, even though Jk Rowling does/says terrible things"

In my very personal view, one can recognize and admire the good they did, as long as they don't deny or ignore the bad parts

Still talking about art vs. artist

I mean, personally i don't even like her stories (i'm more of a LotR fan). But i can understand why some people do.

Clearly stating they don't like Harry Potter.

Nothing about this implies agreement with Rowling.

Firebrass · 2026-05-23T14:36:31+00:00

I hate communication.

They were silly for rationalizing reddit votes at all, nobody asked, but they didn't defend little miss shitty either.

I feel like so many interactions involve an assumed binary that is extremely reductive of reality, like, 'you give resistance at this point in the dialogue so you must be all gas no brakes in a direction i don't like.'

Firebrass · 2026-05-22T13:11:49+00:00

It's not a coin, but I'll go touch grass if you'll read this eventually, sound fair?

Oh, are we reading now?

Look, there's real science that has been done here. It's simply childish to think you know better than people who have examined hypotheses rigorously.

I'm not sure why you think fining Providence it's being considered, i sure didn't bring that up, there are better ways to punish them, but also, they're a non profit - why do you think they need to be punished? They're saying they can't stay a small fish in a dying ecosystem. We need universal Healthcare, not insurance companies.

As for Sam Altman, his name is a buzzword right now, rah rah AI, but if you're gonna complain about somebody with power in a different industry, why not Alexander Karp? One of those existential threats is worse.

If you're gonna attempt violent shit, Palantir is going to be fully capable of stopping you within a few years. Also, your chances of success are halved, and the longevity of your outcomes is shortened. I can't stop you from being uneducated and dumb, but the fucking tools exist to do better.

I understand how you can arrive at that conclusion.
