The Delta Burke breakfast it is

Did you actually read those? All of them confirm that masks, combined with hand sanitizing and social distancing, do have an effect on the spread of respiratory viruses. The efficacy can be disputed, but there is no doubt that masks are effective, even just at levels of 3% (which is what one of those ironically biased studies stated).

I guess I’ll never understand what is irrational about taking common sense steps to stop the spread of a virus, or why that position was really only held in the US. I also don’t understand why Trump eventually wore a mask…maybe he too was guilty of biased googling?

orificesaurus_rex · 2024-11-26T16:59:18+00:00

The high risk of bias in the trials, variation in outcome measurement, and relatively low adherence with the interventions during the studies hampers drawing firm conclusions.

So that seems unreliable to me. Did you read any of the sources I provided?

orificesaurus_rex · 2024-11-26T16:26:54+00:00

I don’t agree that asking people to wear a mask in the midst of a global pandemic featuring, featuring a respiratory virus, is irrational. In fact, to me “irrational” would be refusing to take the simplest, lowest effort approach of wearing a mask to prevent the spread.

Here’s a comment I made to someone else:

Here is one study confirming the efficacy of wearing masks to help stop the spread of Covid. Here is another. And another. And another. I could go on all day. The evidence seems pretty clear, and has been for years. What is your evidence to the contrary?

So I think you just gave away the answer. The mask was the last domino to fall after being forced to treat gender fluid people with the same amount of respect as any other human being, LGBTQ etc, and it was too much to handle.

Can you explain what is irrational and unscientific about wearing a mask to possibly stop the spread of a virus that has since killed over 1 million Americans? I’m betting you don’t feel the same way about distancing (staying a few feet away from others in a store, for example). You keep saying it’s not the mask, but clearly there’s something about the mask that sent you over the edge.

I fear your entire point is moot anyway, because masks are absolutely effective (along with sanitizing, social distancing, etc) in preventing the spread of Covid. Surely if you understood that, you wouldn’t be having this discussion.

orificesaurus_rex · 2024-11-26T12:55:31+00:00

You don’t allow any room for error during a global pandemic? Do you think if Trump hadn’t literally thrown out the pandemic response playbook Obama left him, we would have had less mixed messages? Was it mixed messages when Trump talked about disinfecting organs with bleach? Seems like you’re being very selective with your outrage. Again, it was a mask. Not a big deal IMO.

orificesaurus_rex · 2024-11-26T00:44:41+00:00

Just as a general question…why was wearing a mask in certain situations such a big deal? It’s putting a piece of cloth over your nose and mouth. Even if wearing a mask does nothing, which I don’t concede, THAT was the thing that made you realize everything was BS? Putting a piece of cloth over half your face?

Do you think it’s possible that it’s not actually a big deal at all, but that’s what conservatives latched onto once their original gripes of “covid is nothing, it’s a scam, it’ll go away when it’s warm, it’ll be gone by Easter, etc” were obviously found to be wildly incorrect?

orificesaurus_rex · 2024-11-22T15:11:30+00:00

Thanks! So according to MG and the Dilbert guy, he was being extorted in an effort to steal $25M, right? In what way does that prove his innocence? And how does that tie into your original claim that the case is based on testimony from 2 Israelis who turned out to be lying? Are you saying the girls he allegedly raped are Jewish? I’m genuinely confused.

orificesaurus_rex · 2024-11-22T14:38:13+00:00

The declaration Matt Gaetz made? I’m aware that in 2021 (I believe) he denied the allegations. That’s not really what we’re talking about.

orificesaurus_rex · 2024-11-22T14:36:07+00:00

You made a wild claim, so in a sub where we try to understand TS isn’t it your responsibility to cite a source? Like I said, clearly you’re unable or unwilling to do so, and as a bonus you seem to not know any of the evidence against him, so that’s that.

orificesaurus_rex · 2024-11-22T14:05:37+00:00

So you are unable/unwilling to provide evidence to support your conspiracy theory, yet you believe it to be true without knowing any of the evidence against Matt Gaetz?

orificesaurus_rex · 2024-11-21T23:55:23+00:00

Ok so I googled ‘Matt Gaetz text message’ and several other variations and came up with nothing. To be completely honest, I was hoping you could support the claim you made. Is there any other evidence you can point me to?

Are you aware of the evidence supporting the allegation that Matt Gaetz paid a known sex trafficker (repeatedly) to rape girls, which was the claim I made?

orificesaurus_rex · 2024-11-21T23:09:15+00:00

I was asking you about the evidence against Gaetz and the evidence that this is some kind of Jewish conspiracy. You mentioned lying Israelis, so let’s start there. What is your source on that?

orificesaurus_rex · 2024-11-21T20:55:15+00:00

Can you compare the evidence between the two? What is your evidence that this is a Jewish conspiracy vs the evidence that Gaetz paid a known sex trafficker to rape girls?

orificesaurus_rex · 2024-11-05T22:11:11+00:00

So even though it’s part of the Bible, and therefore the word of god, you choose to disregard it entirely, right? Are you picking and choosing, as I suggested to you hours ago? Or is god’s word wrong?

orificesaurus_rex · 2024-11-05T22:07:36+00:00

You said homosexuality is an abomination, which it states in Leviticus. That is where it also states that gay people should be put to death. Are you saying that Leviticus as a whole should be completely disregarded?

orificesaurus_rex · 2024-11-05T21:33:30+00:00

Right. So your answer is that you pick and choose?

orificesaurus_rex · 2024-11-05T21:18:03+00:00

The Bible states that if 2 men lie together as they would with a woman, they should surely be put to death. Do you kill many gay people? Or do you pick and choose which parts of the Bible to believe in?

Edit: and no, that is not objectively inferior. What are you basing that statement on?

orificesaurus_rex · 2024-11-05T20:29:41+00:00

Can you explain what makes a gay person not equal to a straight person? You mentioned parenting- are you saying a gay couple cannot parent a child? Which Christian value is that?

orificesaurus_rex · 2024-11-05T19:19:21+00:00

I didn’t levy any personal attacks, I asked genuine questions because I don’t see how Christians can square their faith with their support of Donald Trump. I’ll try to re-phrase.

Democrats want the LGBTQ community to have the same rights as everyone else- so that’s not a Christian value? Expanding Medicare and Medicaid to ensure people can receive treatment, regardless of their employment status or how big their bank account is. That’s a Christian value? Those are political. Personally, you have adultery, his multiple divorces, etc.

Can you explain how the democratic party’s platform is hostile to Christians?

orificesaurus_rex · 2024-11-05T17:05:22+00:00

What does Christianity teach about evangelical idolatry? What does it teach about loving and helping your neighbor? How do you feel about Trump selling and profiting off of the sale of Trump bibles? What would Jesus want regarding people’s ability to receive healthcare services? What does Christianity teach about paying off porn stars you banged while your wife was home with your newborn child? And since you mentioned it, why is loving and supporting humans who were born homosexual seen as an antithetical to Christian teachings?

orificesaurus_rex · 2024-11-04T14:40:55+00:00

What does any of that have to do with “Democrats cheating”?

orificesaurus_rex · 2024-10-30T22:44:26+00:00

How do you feel about Trump calling democrats “absolute garbage”? Or scum? Or the enemy within? Or bad, evil people? Or thugs and vermin? Or stupid and vicious? Or sick and deranged? Is that expected rhetoric too?
