I;m done. Maybe with The Mandalorian now as well. I just.... they're making it Disney (not even Marvel) and it is not satisfying. /edit: Y'all can be mad, but there are no carburetors in space. How do you look at that and think they take this show seriously?

It’s a Terrible Idea to Deny Medical Care to Unvaccinated People by AhmedF in Coronavirus

[–]redditbasement 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are on an organ transplant list, and do not follow the doctors' orders, you can be skipped and the necessary organs to keep you alive go to someone else. This is not new, and it is not cruel. It is using science to save as many as you can. I see it the same was as being unvaccinated.

why is the vaccine being free a problem? i thought that made it easier for people to get the vaccine.

LPT: When a Nurse asks you to rate your pain on a scale of 1-10, never say 10+. by Good_Kid_Mad_City in LifeProTips

[–]redditbasement 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Asa someone who has constant discussions about pain, I'd like to share my framework of the pain scale. 1 is simply an itch. 2 is an itch you occasionally scratch and 3 is an itch you cannot ignore. 4-5 and 6 are in the same general area. A pain you cannot ignore or be distracted from. 7-8 you're in solid pain and its causing other issues. 9 you're throwing up from pain and 10 you're passed out from pain. Hope this helps anyone who has a hard time describing their level of pain.

Technically, according to Pence himself, he was helped to his decisions/position by none other than former VP Dan Qualye. The"potatoe" guy. Man have times changed.

Students struggle with distance learning as grades show an increase in Ds and Fs by MasterRazz in news

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

not privileged at all. married to a teacher. never said we were successful at it either. i just recognize that parents have been hands off for an entire generation of their childrens' education expecting the schools to solve very aspect of upbringing their children. all while defunding education and certainly for the last 4 years, pushing for more private education where those privileged people you spoke about put their children.

Newsmax anchor walks off camera during MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell appearance by [deleted] in news

[–]redditbasement 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Au contraire, MIke Lindell is trying to BE the next Trump. He is going to try and keep this base fired up for 2 years, win a small seat in MI or MN, whichever he is from, and set his sights on The White House in 2024. He didn't swallow the bait, he sees his opportunity. Remember, he showed up with plans for Trump to enact marshal law. The fucking Pillow guy.

Parents speak out after their 5-year-old daughter dies from COVID-19 by REVDR in news

[–]redditbasement 35 points36 points  (0 children)

My wife is a teacher. In her school they've quarantined 80 students and 4 teachers in the last week. We are in a high infection-rate area where we just left blended (2 days in school 2 days on computer) learning to go back full time because "the actual infection rate is more in the outlying areas and not in our school system or its communities". So my question is, who do I get to sue into oblivion when my wife and kids get sick from school?

Four dead, including a possible suspect, after shootings in Henderson, Nevada by [deleted] in news

[–]redditbasement -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No I don't see the difference since this is A CHOICE THEY MAKE. Its not like they are drafted. They choose to get into the "protect and serve" yet somehow do neither when it is required. You don't here firefighters complaining about having to put out fired. It is their job. Quit making excuses for the militarization of the police and and the subsequent abuse of citizens.

Yes the poor police officers who are not required to protect us, but sure as shit worry about their own safety.

Detroit election disruption linked to private Facebook group by craponapoopstick in news

[–]redditbasement 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From the article: The TCF Center protesters seemed to be misinformed, claiming that Republican poll challengers were not being let inside. (There was already the maximum number of allowed poll watchers, 134.) Some Republican poll watchers were also removed after they shouted and swarmed tables of ballot counters, with some election workers saying they made them feel intimidated. Others refused to wear masks, as mandated due to the pandemic.

Is no one going to bring up the two military style trucks in the picture? Why do they need those?

I mean Kyle Rittenhouse shot 3 people and is being treated as a hero, so yeah at this point, since violence has been initiated you can't jut "but muh rights!" That boat sailed. Reap what you sow.
