“Did two years working in a grocery collective coop, my hatred of grocery workers is limited only by my imagination. If I could concoct a hybrid of plague and leprosy to visit upon them, I would, and rub my hands in glee.”
And you said grocery workers shouldn’t get* any* masks, as opposed to prioritizing N95 masks for medical workers- which is already done. So- you snark was unnecessary and rude.
LOL. You’re still pretending you didn’t fuck up by confusing N95 masks with cloth masks. You know perfectly well that you did fuck that up, because you tried to cover your mistake by calling cloth masks “facial shields,” a clumsy bit of verbal misdirection that got lost in the reaction to your kidding-on-the-square rant about grocery workers. (Never mind that facial shields are a completely different thing.)
But, hey, feel free to tell us again that WE should put YOU on ignore, because you don’t want to be confronted with the reality that you’re a gigantic asshole who can’t admit error and can’t apologize. You’re far from the only Doper with those impairments, but you’re certainly one of the most pompous and self-important.
As Eugene V. Debs is my witness, it never occurred to me that anyone would read that passage and take it as literal truth. Wish I didn’t know now what I didn’t know then.
So, not down below Josef Mengele, then? Well, that’s a step up. Always try to look on the blight side of life.
Yep, there were a couple weeks where I and a couple of my coworkers were making masks for people - you know, in our abundant spare time :rolleyes:
I’m still making them - some of my coworkers have had bad skin reactions to the masks being provided by the store, or the elastic that holds them on, or find fabric ones more comfortable/tolerable. Dropped off 5 of them in one of the offices this morning before I started my shift.
Thinking of making a couple of custom ones for myself that I can fit very well to my face, triple-thick quilting fabric/flannel layers, Doctor Who theme on the outer fabric (I’m known for getting a LOT into a bag… almost as if it’s bigger on the inside… 
…)
Fuck you and the tiny balls you rolled in on. You are not interested in discussion, you are interested in scoring points and being an asshole.
Now I feel bad for insulting assholes, which actually do perform a pretty important function for a body, namely expelling shit, which is vital to health and life. Damn, now I have to find something else to call elucidator. Something that adequately expresses something vile and useless.
Any suggestions?
Here we go away - the sadistic bully is using the “ha-ha just kidding just having a joke” excuse for his shittiness.
You wished suffering and death on people. You’re expelled waste product of pond scum. You’re so disgusting even cockroaches find you awful and don’t want to associate with you. After you pass from this mortal coil your remains are likely to remain in a peculiar state of preservation because maggots won’t want to be caught dead in your corpse and fungi and bacteria will not want to dine on such foulness.
I didn’t believe you then, and I don’t believe you now.
Says the poster who has previously admitted to exaggerating in their posts.
One of the reasons we’re not convinced that your vile statements were sarcasm is that the one thing you could do to redeem yourself in the eyes of others (even if not in my own view) you simply can not bring yourself to do. Two words. Just two words. And you can’t bring yourself to say them even though you’ve been urged multiple times to use them.
Therefore, you meant it, every word, and it reveals you to all as putrescent, festering evil. You are necrotizing fasciitis on the collective ass of humanity.
Don’t even try to present yourself as a wronged innocent, trying to wiggle back into the conversation. Your [del]mask[/del] “face shield” slipped, revealing how disgustingly horrible you are.
Lying about what you said does not help you in any way. Here is what you said:
You didn’t say anything about prioritizing healthcare workers. You specifically said that, as long as not every single hospital worker had protection, grocery stores should not get them.
Broomstick called you out on this, yet at no point have you apologized. You act like Trump, whining that your feelings got hurt being more important than apologizing.
So, as long as you refuse to apologize and continue attacking everyone, we know that you’re just here to shit on people. As long as you continue to act like garbage, you will be treated like garbage.
I did what I’ve done before, flat out telling you what you need to do, trying to defend you as best I could, but you refuse to do what you need to do.
This will be the last time I try to help, because you literally dragged this up when the conversation had finally moved on, to make it about you again. I used to like you, but not when you act like this.
Be a good person. Fucking apologize and stop pretending like you’re the victim. Stop trying to change what you said. Care about someone other than yourself and apologize.
Those who do not apologize intended to offend.
I never understand why dopers demand apologies for getting their feelings hurt. What good is a forced apology? For what exactly? and at this point after the plague of curses directed at him, don’t hold yer breath.
I am surrounded by sternly righteous people. I will ask the question. Keeping in mind that when this nasty celebration of group-hate began, protective equipment supplies were even more scarce than they are now. Much more!
So, Broomstick, Big T, anybody, step up to the plate. Tough enough to hate and condemn, tough enough to make hard decisions? You got, say, ten thousand items of personal protection equipment. Say, cloth face masks, make it simpler. Both nurses and grocery workers are woefully ill supplied, and the choice is yours.
Who gets them? Not a question of who deserves, we all deserve. Question is who is more necessary. This is about saving lives, yes? The link referenced above has ten thousand hospital workers sick from coronavirus. They can’t save any lives until they completely and totally recover. Grocery workers are also woefully ill-equipped. Same applies to them, obviously, if they get sick, they cannot dispense groceries.
So, tell me what you would do, you frightfully righteous people. Who gets the supplies? And why.
And if you can’t face up to such a wretched decision, you can simply revert to vomiting your hatred on the guy who tells you the truth you won’t face.
It’s a moral decision, isn’t it? OK. what’s yours? There’s isn’t enough, you got some, who gets it?
Are the crickets ready?
Finally, effective today, all employees of the grocery store where my daughter works has mandated all employees mask up. Issued everyone a whopping TWO masks each. Fabric. They were given masks last week with a suggestion to wear them, and about half did. Now they have no choice.
It has caused issues, of course. None of the men in the meat department want to wear them. They already wear coats, hairnets, beard nets and beanies. Guess a mask is just too much.
I had to hit two grocery stores this weekend - an Asian / global superstore and a large local grocer. Both places were packed. In both places I could count on one hand those wearing any form of PPE. Both had groups of families just wandering around, like it was Sunday in the park. The social distancing mandate was not being followed in the slightest. I left 6’ in front of me at the check out and had to tell two separate people to get to the back of the line after they just wheeled their carts directly in front of me. One lady became irate with me. Bummer. Move it.
What kinda fuckin’ question is this? Anybody can make cloth masks!
Every time I think people are going over the top on elucidator, he chimes in to say something more stupid and asshole-ish.
There is no shortage of cloth masks. There never has been and never will be. What an idiotic hypothetical.
You can, of course, prove that? In your eager haste, you neglected that part.
And keep in mind, folks, this is likely to happen again. We got very clever people working to find a treatment and/or a vaccine. They probably will, odds are good. Then what?
They are not going to produce three hundred million doses in one day. Someone will have to decide who gets first dibs. Who? On what basis? Or do we fall back on our default position, who has the most money?
You. All three million, up your ass.
I am neither eager nor hasty. And I can’t imagine you actually require proof that there is no shortage of cloth masks. Accusations of trolling are thrown around too often here, but it doesn’t mean they’re never true.
