Hah! And I was reading their name as JustALoser.
Son, I say, that’s ‘bout like puttin’ lipstick on a pig. That kid’s about as sharp as a pound of wet liver.

When I wear face panties I support that with a maxi-pad, worn visibly on the outside of the mask. Conserverthals ask why I do it like that, and I say: Because Obama.
Or, he could just be trolling everybody.
Kinda shitty of God to punish the whole world - starting with China, the Evil Man’s worst enemy - just because America fucked up.
I’m a man’s man, I wear face boxer briefs.
Well the straight dope is certainly free spirited and one of the best places to get the “information that is really what’s going on from people in ‘The know’”. But as far as being open minded? Not at all, or at least not if your definition of open minded is willingly entertain without challenge any idea or opinion that anyone might have.
We are here to fight ignorance, it’s our mission statement, and that means if someone makes a statement that is controversial they will be required to back it up with facts. And if someone makes a statement that is widely publicized as being very very wrong it will be slapped down hard. If you think they were wrong to slap you down you can try to back up what you say with facts and cites, who knows you might even convince some of us. But be warned the Dope’s disputants are the best in the biz and play hard ball, so your cites have to be good and your arguments strong. If you think someone else said something that you think is wrong, you are welcome to ask them to back it up, and if you are willing to listen to them and keep an open mind (but not so open that your brain falls out) you might learn something.
So if you want a place to learn and challenge your beliefs with some of the brightest people “in the know”(plus a few dipshits) then you’ve come to the right place. If you want a place where you can spout your misinformation consequence free this ain’t the place for you.

One should not be so open minded that one’s brain falls out.
I’m confused. He said he lurked here for years but not that recently. And there weren’t pansies here. When was this board a religious, tin-foil-hat-wearing board?
Hey, you’re the little pansy who’s scared of messenger RNA and is throwing a little baby fit because your thread got put in the pit where it belongs.
Go back far enough and you can include Welsh.
I’m even manlier; I go commando.
Lets make it nice and simple for him. He should just ho to the nearest cemetery and look at huge number of pre vaccine era children’s headstones. Before the advent of these lifesaving scientific vaccines hundreds of thousands of kids died young. The number of deaths from childhood illness dropped drastically when these lifesaving shots became available. How quickly some folks forget never ceases to blow my mind.
Yeah, but at least those children died like men! Not like a bunch of pansies, using medical science 'n shit.
I never understood this phrase-aren’t your mind and your brain the same thing?
Alternatively: one’s mind should not be so open that one loses it.
That’s no proof! They were killed be the time travelling shape shifting lizard people! I read about it in a bathroom on west 5th street, so you know it has to be true!
One thing this pandemic has taught me is that the mentally ill were more numerous than I thought. When it was just someone working in a warehouse who thought that chemtrails were spraying mind control chemicals, he was pretty harmless and his co-workers just let him blather on and then went back to work.
But in a pandemic, when crazy warehouse guy refuses to follow simple public health orders, he brings disease to work and sickens others. He causes harm. Then he’s not just a harmless nutter - he’s actively causing sickness and death.
There are many more of them than I thought.
