    I’m fairly certain that yes, the schools can stop everyone.

    Also, bold move on his part assuming children are just itching to do what old crusty congressmen tell them to do.

    Or, just as good, the "party of family values" telling kids to ignore their parents on health and safety.

Things like that make me feel slightly better because, as loud and angry as they are, those people are still very much in the minority here.

    That does give me hope for the world.

    Since we can't call out Trolls and Bad Faith posters and the Ignore function doesn't actually ignore it. Add
    "mmo-champion.com##li.postbitignored"
    to your ublock or adblock filter to actually ignore ignored posters. Now just need a way to ignore responses to them as well.

    Most of the country, at least the parts where people actually live, isn't as cold as the outside world believes.

    About how cold would you say? If it is below 50f most of the year, would be too cold for me. Got nerve damage from the base of the spine down and it doesn't seem to like cold weather too much.

    None of the cities I've lived in have been below 50f(10c) most of the year. I mean, I've lived in places where it gets damn cold in the winter (can get to -40...which is about the same whether you are talking C or F)...but that's just in the winter. There's still 3 whole other seasons :P

    As for the nerve damage...I can relate to that. When it gets really cold my back doesn't care for it much either. But for me "really cold" is probably different that for you. We got to get into double-digit negative numbers for it to start bugging me.

    Yeah, I live in North Carolina. When it hits 45f or so with any humidity, it starts feeling like someone is putting cigarettes out on my legs which can get harder to listen to me. If the humidity isn't too bad, then I can handle the lower temps a decent amount better.

    My mom keeps wanting me to visit her in Minnesota sometime, trying to but told her it has to be in the summer.

    Yeah, the humidity will get you.

    I live in the lower mainland of BC...and the temperature rarely drops below 50F here...but I'm also practicially a stone's throw away from the Pacific Ocean...so the humidity can make it feel a lot colder than it actually is. But I've also lived in the North of BC...and that's where the temperature can drop down to -40....but the air is a lot dryer. Between the two I'll take the shorter but more humid winters. Sure, it rains a lot here...but you don't have to shovel rain. :P

    Yeah, I remember when I used to visit my mom before I got hurt. I remember -20 with a windchill of -60. Only place I have ever watched Antifreeze freeze and the humidity was so low you got nose bleeds.

    No thanks, would love to visit Canada sometime in the future, maybe after this COVID is over, but will have to be in the summer. Would really like to visit an area where it doesn't feel like I am surrounded by dumbasses.

    My favorite part of this quote

    Chris, I have stood for always letting science, data and evidence be what we guide ourselves by, and I think people who feel differently, who have conspiracy theories, who deny reality that’s looking them straight in the eye, those are people that don’t particularly care for me.

    That’s understandable because what I do, and I try very hard, is to be guided by the truth. And sometimes the truth becomes inconvenient for some people, and so they react against me. That is what it is, and there’s not that much I can do about that, Chris.
    It's not that it was Dr. Fauci. It's that he said it on FOX News. Yes, FOX News invited Fauci for an interview, yes, on that interview Dr. Fauci said the reason he was a polarizing figures was because some people just don't want the truth as part of their lives.

    Remember: you are not allowed to just invent a fictitious reason something is bad, then claim the issue is divided and blame someone other than yourself. If you choose to disregard the public objective science and invent something false instead, then the issue isn't the problem. You are.

    Today in "Fuck Florida":

    A Florida school says students who get vaxxed must stay home for 30 days due to unfounded claim that they'll infect others

    A private school in Miami, Florida, is requiring students who get vaccinated to quarantine at home for 30 days after each dose.

    "Because of the potential impact on other students and our school community, vaccinated students will need to stay at home for 30 days post-vaccination for each dose and booster they receive and may return to school after 30 days as long as the student is healthy and symptom-free," a letter sent out to parents of students at the Centner Academy says, according to local news outlet WSVN.

    The letter also urges parents to "hold off" on getting their children vaccinated until the summer "when there will be time for the potential transmission or shedding onto others to decrease."
    Florida, home of the largest, steamiest piles of bullshit.

    The upside being that students would probably jump on the opportunity to miss 30 days of school, lol.

    Wow.

    I have no idea where this even came from. There are no two consecutive words in that statement that make sense.

    You shouldn't be surprised because this is the same school that threatened to all but fire their teachers and staff if they got the Covid vaccination. Their reason, because they believe the vaccine sterilizes women. So it should surprise anyone that the people running this overpriced daycare for children under 18, because I refuse to call it a school with fucking idiots like this running it, have lower cognitive function then children in your average American high school special education program.

    http://https://www.science.org/conte...id-19-vaccines

    P.S. I feel bad for the kids that are forced to go to that school and live with the parents that force them to go to that school because they are obviously being indoctrinated with fucking lunacy.

    Read: "The WASP motherfuckers busybodies that staff our school board can't handle the cognitive distress of knowing they got conned by an idiot and are instead taking it out on their students and staff, because denial isn't just a river in Egypt."

    Again, this is yet another entry in the lists of why private education should be banned.
