Went to Costco, 12/19/2021. A dozen customers without masks. They were wearing mask, but around their necks, not faces. I have come to expect this level of stupidity from the masses. But what irked me was there were no fewer than 4 employees like this (noses uncovered). One was a checker, one was _serving food_. There is no excuse for this. They are risking their customer’s lives and the lives of fellow employees. ---

> [@glee](#): > > He opposes Government measures (to encourage vaccination) because he doesn’t want his kids ‘to wake up in some sort of utopia’ Fucking utopias, man. Nothing will make you soft faster than living in a perfect society were every need is met and everyone is happy. Give me a good dystopia any day. Then at least we’ll be ready when we’re attacked by time-traveling Morlocks. ---

> [@Tamerlane](#): > > Fucking utopias, man. Nothing will make you soft faster than living in a perfect society were every need is met and everyone is happy. I’ve been seeing more and more “Easy times makes soft men” memes popping up. Not only is it a logical fallacy, it’s sexist as hell. It’s never presented as “soft people;” it’s always positioning menfolk as being the last bastions of a functioning society. I suspect that it’s not a coincidence. ---

I saw the video, and this had nothing to do with what you are saying. The ignorant man in the video thought “utopia” was a scary word. It was obvious he had no idea what it means. ---

> [@Jackmannii](#): > > I have no idea what the hell is wrong with the Times of India for posting that photo caption. I think it’s probably an editorial screwup. Someone got a quote from a spokesperson for the demo, and it got put in as though that’s the staff writer’s description. ETA: maybe not. Has the Times Of India been taken over by antivaxers? I found this too, note the word “bravely”: > **[Mumbai: Anti-vaxxers who gave in are now scrambling to ‘undo’ their jab |...](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mumbai/anti-vaxxers-who-gave-in-are-now-scrambling-to-undo-their-jab/articleshow/88231259.cms)** > > At 44, Vishal Hiwale, bravely states that he neither believes in Covid-19 nor the anti-Covid vaccines. Even as two waves of the coronavirus swept thro The tone of that article is quite confusing, it oscillates between apparent sympathy for the antivaxxers, then in places almost mocking them, and some objective reporting of the facts. It’s as though it were generated by a mediocre A.I. that can’t decide what it’s supposed to be doing. ---
