RE: TRUST CDC.GOV

in Deep Dives5 years ago

Thank you for doing all this great work.

Former friends now insult me freely, and encourage their friends to jump right in too, if I say something as innocuous as "I can't breathe with a medical mask on". It's madness, truly.

I state my mind wherever I am, stopping short of ruining a show or getting into a brawl (both have happened), and am finding a great many people who agree with me. WE are finding each other. That's encouraging. Be daring loud mouths people! It's scary, but you find your allies that way.

We will win. It's happening. I am so happy you are among us.

Sort:  

Right, and show them the George Carlin clips. Everybody loves George Carlin.

Humour is an underrated ally.

As is Love.

I do that too. Post Carlin pretty regularly. So many are entrenched in their false beliefs, even Carlin can't get through. But I am comforted by the fact that I got out, and know that one by one the rest of us will get out too.

Wow, big downvote from @blocktrades.

I'd certainly like to know what I've done "wrong".

Literally the reason that I don't bother here much any more.

Let me know when you find something better, I've been considering https://www.lesswrong.com/

-The Phoenix Project- (Asha Logos) is making good headway it seems.
You may even contribute if you choose.

I mean, it sounds like they should be leveraging Hive. And when they say "positive vibes only" and "member's only" sounds like a de-facto priesthood. Ranking "quality" is going to lead inevitably to DOGMA.

You should engage them in their groups.
Btw, I agree, and it led me to, not contribute.
However I don't think that I should judge so suddenly, based on a quick little introj (especially since he has so much excellent work).....but I wouldn't have the time right now regardless, with all the other things I am involved in already and those in queue...

Well, they certainly seem to be well-intentioned and are promoting some valuable ideas.

Yes, but not for a while.
It goes a little down the rabbit hole if I remember, but not that far ;)
I may watch this again though thanks!

Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

Yeah, it's insane how riled up people are and how they completely IGNORE the real #1 and #2 killers.

Just tell your "friends" to TRUST CDC.GOV and look at the TOTAL DEATHS PER WEEK.

They are curiously incapable of seeing the significance of that data. And when I post CDC info, someone invariably says "So now you trust the CDC?" But I do, I promise I do. Here's a pretty common comment I make on fake book:

The death rate from all causes is below normal rates for this time of year. We are now safer than usual. Open everything now, no restrictions, no muzzles.

Astoundingly concise and IMPORTANT summary.

Make sure you link to the data.

Thank you for the encouragement.

I refuse to wear masks to enter stores. People bring me food. It's embarrassing, but I turned in some cans today and the attendant came outside to get them and brought me the money outside too. While I was waiting outside, a guy pulled up and went to go into the store. Halfway across the parking lot, he suddenly stopped and turned around to get a mask out of his car.

I remarked "Don't forget your yellow star."

He grumbled agreement. Most folks only wear the mask because they don't want to feel embarrassed. When folks like us stand outside they are encouraged to withstand the peer pressure that embarrasses them.

Encouraging folks to be free is what to do, and I appreciate that you do it.

Thanks!

It's happening. It might not be pretty, but it will be. Thank you for being among us.

The more we talk, the better it gets.

You're a true hero.
