Oh, sure, the entire population isn't infected. There's just not a single county in the entire state that's realistically lacking an outbreak. It's better like being a mildly symptomatic carrier is better than being on a vent, I guess.

Checked florida's dashboard for the first time in a few days. We're now at 62 out of 67 counties with confirmed cases. Commonalities between the five without: Fairly shitty testing. Not that testing doesn't continue to be shitty pretty much everywhere, they've just been "lucky" to have managed to fail to test one of their actually positive folks.

You can comfortably say the entire fucking state is infected with the crow plague now

I guess another, what, two, three weeks for the first round of deaths to peak? Then we might get something of a respite for a little while...

Are you sure they haven't been? I remember back in the day my dad actively encouraged that sort of thing. One time I managed to peg a red bird with a BB gun from like a basketball court's length away and drop it into a lake

I'm just saying, if you stab someone and muthafucka starts bleeding bees, the right reaction is to just go, "Nope, I'm out" and book it in whatever direction gets yo' ass away from that shit.

This heromaker's legacy thing has been going places for a while now. Apparently the next step has become "dispose of unwanted supervillian clones by making their flesh turn into swarms of spiders and/or bees". You're not killing them if you just turn them into thousands and thousands of spiders, right? Right?

The few vids I've watched of it make it seem pretty okay, yeah. Maybe scope youtube for some, see if it's gameplay the interests you.

Would I be adding anything of value to this post if I wrote another paragraph describing the terribleness of their actions?  Of course not.  I want to know why that teacher simply stared back at me the whole time.  The conflict of values between the bully and I is settled.  There's nothing to say.  But boy would I ever have some words with that teacher if I ever saw him again.

And so in conversation you spend most of your time talking about the bystanders and faculty? Do you not get how that can come across as doing the exact same thing as those folks? If third parties come in and see folks doing little but throwing shade at people other than the bullies, they're going to start thinking the people talking like that don't actually have much of a problem with the bullies, or that somehow what the bystanders are doing is as bad as the fucker shanking you in the gut.

We've seen, repeatedly, what happens when we give less air to the worse misdeeds than we do to the lesser. People start fucking equivocating or ignoring them. Of bloody course adding that extra paragraph, and goddamn hammering that it's extra shit, adds value. It puts your weight of words and efforts where goddamn hopefully your desires are.

Winning the fight against shitty Democrats is step 1 to having the ability to fight even shittier Republicans.

It's just a fight we've friggin' lost this cycle, y'know? Bernie got goddamn crushed by a more moderate presenting candidate, again. Down ballot's largely been doing pretty badly, too, from what I understand. When in shit creek, either don't try to undermine the closest thing you have to a sandbar, or at bloody least save a balance of your efforts for dumping what you're digging out on the deeper parts, is most of what I'm saying. Otherwise you're probably just fucked with not even limited recourse, and folks start thinking the sandbar is somehow worse than actively drowning in shit.

Has anyone other than the US actually done that yet? Only news I've seen on that was the states doing it, so far.

It's better than the lack, at least.

I guess it'd be less... whatever... if folks going off on biden or whoever isn't actually in the US GOP corner would just... I'unno, dedicate a paragraph or two throwing shit at the ones who are whenever they do. Balance out the discourse so junk doesn't look like it could be interchangeably coming out a russian troll account spamming near exclusively anti-dem crap or some shit, y'know? Throw a pound of shite at biden, take a moment to throw a pound at trump, one of the GOP governors currently screwing over their population* or something, too.

Or in other words, don't go the goddamn email route again, where 90% of the airspace is taken up dumping on folks significantly less bad than the alternative. Go for a more even balance if you really can't just keep the filth hose aimed at the more vile targets for a while.

* P.S. Fuck you, desantis, and fuck scott, too, for the lingering shite extra screwing over florida right now.
