Texas has been far too lax. No one wears masks here, unless they're in a hospital. There was a guy at a comic book store here who hit a man with a mask when offered one for absolutely free. It's no wonder Houston is dealing with so many cases. Ineptitude from residents all the way up to the government.

I don’t get what’s so bad about wearing a mask unless you have asthma, it’s better to just wear it it instead of being a big sissy and acting like it’s such an injustice to put a piece of fabric/paper on your face
you ain’t that pretty lol nobody gotta see your chin bruh

Your responsible for the masks
See, this is something I have a bit of a problem with. If it is a requirement, then how does people with limited monetary means pay for something they absolutely must have.

Where I currently work we are required to wear a mask within the office, but our company provides the mask they require us to wear so no problem. I believe this is the right way to do it - whoever requires the mask are the ones who should be providing it.

Japan never had to shut down or quarantine. Everyone just sort of wore a mask and numbers just went... down.

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
