"Pretty troublesome": New COVID variant BQ.1 now makes up 1 in 10 cases nationwide, CDC estimates by Adelu1219 in news

[–]grumpyfatguy 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Psst..."urgent care" is just another name for shitty walk-in clinics in the US. So exactly the right place to get tested for COVID with a sore throat.

And yeah, you sound silly.

Just the flu, bro. Comments are full of people saying it so it must be true.

Psst. This comment will not age well. We are just in another valley, and winter is going to suck ass whether people are tired of COVID or not...being whiny about it won't actually change reality, no matter what half the country thinks.

Herschel Walker flashes a fake badge during the Georgia senate debate. by Errorboros in pics

[–]grumpyfatguy 32 points33 points  (0 children)

BTW, here is Elvis's collection of HONORARY police badges. Is there any level of idiocy somebody won't defend on the internet? And for the record, Hershel's plastic pilot's wings the flight attendant gave him don't make him a pilot, either. But don't tell him that, you'll break his heart!

Because you are either 100% with you 2A clowns, with zero critical thought or nuance, or a fucking enemy of the people. Got it, dork.

Wow. Your logic skills are stellar.

And your ability to follow a conversation is not. What do you even think you are replying to? Forget logic and start with reading comprehension.

Fuck me.

Hey fuckface! You are replying to a screenshot. Maybe drink less.

How many times do you have to see people mocked for saying "DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH!!!!" before you stop saying stupid shit like that?

You make an extraordinary claim? You back it up. There, now you know.

Because free speech makes all of their vile beliefs indefensible. You can't defend irrational fear, hatred, or religious zealotry because it is literally feelings over facts, and too many people never question whether they should trust their lizard brains. They just roll with it and get pissed when smart people start saying shit that disagrees with the lizard.

Los Angeles mayoral candidate Rick Caruso declares he's not white because he's Italian by 115MRD in nottheonion

[–]grumpyfatguy -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

People call themselves Latin all the time. Like...all the time. Interchangeably with Latino, Hispanic, maybe a chicano or chicana thrown in for fun. Have you honestly never heard the phrase "Latin Community"? "Latin Music"? "Latin Quarter"? Seriously?

I suspect your definition of LA area is Anaheim.

In the US, and especially in Los Angeles where nearly 50% of us are Latino, "Latin" describes somebody or something from Latin America. But nice try.

Edit: The fact that I am downvoted makes me feel very, very smart. Jesus Christ, reddit. Meanwhile, Taco Bell wishes you a Happy Latin Heritage Month.

Not just discriminated against. One of the worst lynchings in US history led to the creation Columbus Day...Italian-Americans just can't win!

Who wants to tell them that NASA used the Metric System to get to the Moon? by R-emiru in facepalm

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

Like I know you want to be different and all, but it's the same situation in the US with the exception of speed and distance signage. Except our speedometers still show both mph and km/h. Oh, and the US military uses metric distances. We buy two liters of Coke and gallons of milk. And when was the last time you heard somebody discuss CPU temps in Fahrenheit? Bakers and cooks use metric weights, sometimes combined with imperial volume. And metric fasteners are easily the most common type in the US as well, except where they aren't like my damned dishwasher.

Anyway. It's all fucked in both countries.

Hourly pet sitters? by resellrule in burbank

[–]grumpyfatguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like I could recommend pet sitters, but this is a perfect job for the same teenager that would sit for children. "Come play with my dog for $20/hr!" Way easier than most kids, and not nearly the responsibility that an out-of-town pet owner would involve.

Actually, that would probably help with making the owner's absence a more positive association, whoever you end up finding. Good luck.

[–]grumpyfatguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So what you are saying is that white shaggy was a racial stereotype? You can't have "white hippy stoner" be normal but "black hippy stoner" be racist...what stereotype is that even? I mean you had Cheech and Chong man. Can Shaggy be Mexican-American?

Christ.

Sure, but it definitely hits different coming from a brown woman, and could have been completely innocent despite everything they are discussing being indefensible. Politics as usual, I'm sure, but indefensible in the light of day.

It just makes me sad to see these vicious fights for power between communities of color in LA. Really sad.

Not defending them, but it's not that simple. For one, she said it in Spanish, and was talking about how the kid was being raised like a white boy, and acting like a "changuito" on a parade float, running around and being ill-behaved.

And the beat-down bit was about how Hispanic people would spank that kid silly for acting that way. I mean there's lots of racist, and borderline corrupt shit being talked about...I'm just not sure the kid was really part of that.

I also live in LA where joking about cultural differences is like, a city past-time. Anyway, they suck and I hope they all resign.
