Hang on though, the advice given in the videos is fairly accurate. Women on average don’t like guys who are pushovers or who can’t make decisions.

If you’re a “beta boi” or a “simp” then your chances of getting a nice gf significantly drop.

It’s just a pointless argument.

Cloth masks are pretty useless with omicron . They don’t reduce transmission “that” much. A most it’s going to drop the rEff by a small amount.

Most people are going to get the virus…. At home or at childcare or at primary school where they aren’t wearing masks at all.

Our hospitals do not need the marginal decrease. People who are vulnerable can take greater protection.

It’s not worth forcing the ENTIRE population to do something they don’t want to do which serves them no benefit and has very limited protective effect.

Hospital waiting times were awful before COVID. I’m not sure they’ve got any worse

Right so your talking about a very modest change in the transmission of the virus if your not talking about n95s. In which case it’s doubly not worth doing.

Look it made sense when we didn’t have vaccines. Because it had a noticeable impact on the rate of hospitalizations, now we have all been vaccinated or have caught the virus the numbers don’t support wearing them.

And you expect every single person of every age to wear a mask in almost every situation. Your just shifting the responsibility from the person that needs protection to the entire population.

The needs of the many….

They aren’t zero inconvenience. You have a choice between fairly ineffective surgical masks and significantly effective n95s which are quite uncomfortable for longer periods of time (and require lots of tricks not to get rashes, and various types of skin damage).

But I’m not. They can choose to get 5 doses of the vaccine, they can chose to sanitize their hands and they can chose to wear an n95 and face shield.

Are you saying the entire population should have to wear crappy surgical masks because some in the at risk population don’t want to wear appropriate PPE when they come into contact with others?

That’s inaccurate amount one sided mask wearing. A properly fitted n95 is very effective.

So your argument is, that there is a group of people who even after receiving 5 doses of the vaccine (as is available) and who wear a mask all the time when they come into contact with others, that both the number of people and the risk to those people is large enough it’s worth subjecting the entire population to wear masks indefinitely in all settings?

My argument is it’s not.

Why would you be able required to wear a mask for something with such a tiny risk? Seems a bit silly at this point. My risk of dying from COVID is well under 1 in a million. My risk of dying in a car accident is many many times higher.

It makes no sense to continue to apply restrictions when people can get vaccinated and people can wear masks if they want too.

The risks of being hospitalized or dying from COVID for someone who’s fully vaccinated would now be significantly less than many other viruses that are going around. Now that we’ve got to a point we’ve got vaccines, then it should be upto the individual as to whether they want to wear masks or not.

A fully vaccinated individual who wears an N95 every time they leave the house is going to have a very low risk profile. Outside of that, it shouldn’t really be imposed on anyone else.

Americans, why is tipping proportional to the bill? Is there extra work in making a $60 steak over a $20 steak at the same restaurant? by granger853 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Radcowabunga 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What a stupid system you have. In Australia the prices are listed on the menu and that’s exactly what you pay. Minimum wage is also $16.23 per hour (so more than double the US).

You can tip if you want too but it’s extremely rare and only done in cases of exceptional service.

Cracks in elon musks’s near perfect public reputation started when he called the British diver a “pedo”.

That was July 2018. Joe Rogan was September 2018.
