And people who feel like they have it.

here is the scary part, you can't know if you have it. Some people are asymptomatic.
UltraSUPRA
Most people are asymptomatic.
x65943
so that's the kicker. You can't know if you could infect and kill someone else. So since you can't know definitively if you are infectious - it becomes necessary to have everyone wear a mask. A simple, lightweight, cheap and easy way to help save lives.
UltraSUPRA
How many times do I have to say this? If most people don't know if they have it, it doesn't matter.
x65943
but the lives that are lost - do those matter? Or are those just a decimal point to you. If we can save human life- don't we have the obligation to try?
UltraSUPRA
Obesity kills millions each year. Should we outlaw junk food?
x65943
you didn't answer my question. Do the lives that are lost matter?
UltraSUPRA
Yes, but freedom matters more than anything. (Except God, but I doubt you believe in Him.)
x65943
freedom matters more than anything? But you already agreed freedom does not include getting people sick (knowingly) - and if you can't know if you are sick or not - then isn't the best thing to do wear a mask just to be safe. Isn't the small inconvenience worth a life

As someone with a relative on the verge of death from COVID,I can say firsthand that it’s not worth risking your life for this

“But I doubt you believe in him” oh my gosh it’s petty childish snark meets 92 year old bible thumper levels of condescending. Who are you to question anyone’s faith. Gosh dang.
UltraSUPRA
Our Founding Fathers risked everything to establish this country.
x65943
yeah they risked a lot, even they didn't agree you should be able to hurt people. And guess what they didn't believe in unlimited freedom because they owned slaves. Times change man - and we need to protect each other.

I think the issue here @UltraSUPRA is that you’re not really explaining where you’re coming from. You make these declarative statements like “Freedom matters above all else” but don’t explain why you feel that way. Why freedom is more important than saving lives, or why assault isn’t covered under the “freedom is most important” declaration,
relauby
or why some things are considered intrinsic freedoms but other similar things aren’t. You state your values as if they’re self-evident fact, but they obviously aren’t, because nobody knows what the hell you’re talking about, which is why you get bombarded with fifty questions after every post
UltraSUPRA
I'll put this as simply as possible.
It's not your responsibility to protect strangers.
It's not your responsibility to protect strangers.
Julie_Pilgrim
So it’s fine if I let my friend run over people because “it’s not my responsibility to protect strangers”
x65943
not even from yourself? You sound like Cain bro "Where is your brother Cain?" "what am I my brother's keeper?"
UltraSUPRA
I shouldn't have been saying assault. The correct word is violence.

@SylverReZ, I dislike the kind of drm where you have to play single player games online all the time bc of some verification bs+1

@SylverReZ, I also heard one of the Prince of Persia games was so unfinished that it required the "24/7 online" drm so a puzzle could be done and the game could be finished. And that when the Ubisoft servers were closed the (cracked) game was impossible to finish or something like that

@
SylverReZ:
@Xdqwerty, That's extra scummy. Ubisoft nowadays ship out incomplete games like Skull and Bones which was being worked on for nearly a decade now.+1 -

I like that games can be fixed after the fact, hate that it's being abused via beta tests... And DLC... I was a 7800 owner back in the day and loved Impossible Mission, turns out I couldn't beat it because it was actually impossible lol

I never knew about it at the time but a fixed version was available but you had to mail in your broken copy lol
