    I promise I don’t enjoy being a [penis], I like you and have no problem whatsoever with you, but what the actual [uck fay]. You’re smarter than this. Read!

    What you posted has no bearing or relevance to what I said. You seem to be conflating forced with not having a choice. Just because you have a choice to not do X doesn’t mean you weren’t forced to do X if you do.

    The argument you think you’re making / need to be making explicitly is that the force was justified. A lot of reasonable would support that argument, a lot of people reasonable people would also oppose it. This is where a lot of the animosity comes from. There is a lot of ammunition out there in terms of public statements from public health officials, government, media, etc as well as facts we know now but did not at the time (including things trusted sources of information DID know) that could lead any reasonable person to have a lot of doubts.

    Forced
    Adjective

    1) compelled by force or necessity
    2) done or produced with effort, exertion, or pressure

    If only a dog would give you a heads-up BEFORE they fart. I have never heard a loud dog fart as warning.

    Almost textbook. Old school. His head was on the wrong side. I was always taught to have your head on the front side.

    I was required as a condition of employment (aka if you prefer, forced) to do/not do alot of stuff over the life of my career.

    It was my choice to comply (for whatever the reason). Just like the youngsters click "yes" so they can access that sweet, sweet app.

    We did not do a very good job of communicating why it was important to get a covid shot. It would not have mattered to some, but we still did a poor job.

    It is a free country. People can either meet the requirements of their employer/institution or find another line of work. They can also provide a medical exemption from their physician if there is a medical reason why they should not get whatever is required.

    If we are going to call that forced, then virtually all aspects of society are forced and it loses all effective meaning. I am forced to wear clothes in public.

    She is being charged with battery against a police officer and was held in jail. I guess she [uck fay]ed around and found out what happens when you express concern about the treatment of another.

    One of those things where people are not caring because it isn't their tribe, but they should wake the [uck fay] up.

    Gonna be totally honest, whether it’s my tribe or not has zero impact on how much I care. I don’t like it, a lot of cops suck, and I’m confident that guy will be held accountable.

    So is this what is happening? People are substituting political think tanks confirming their partisan biases for actual peer reviewed science? Dark Ages, here we come.

    I understand conservatism persistence despite being bogus now.

    Not really, people just don't trust scientists anymore.

    Which is often the case. Until they need something real.

    AI will eliminate the need for scientists which I believe will bring people back around.

    Idk a damn thing about science but it does seem like an absurd idea just at face value.

    It is a full circle "solution." AI is designed to tell you what you expect to hear. Science just tests hypotheses. Either AI is still going to tell you things you don't want to hear or it will tell you things you want to hear but aren't really true.

    Example: eating meat. We know it isn't sustainable and isn't particularly healthy the amount we eat. [uck fay] you AI, or tell me sweet lies AI?
