It’s precisely that they should be treated the same that I don’t believe they make a good example as someone you wouldn’t want to be associating with.
You shouldn’t care that mates of yours hang with ex-cons, so there is no conflict to be had there.
I wasn’t remarking on the incidence rate of fascists, merely commenting on their views.
Ex-cons might not be the best group to use in your example…
If I had a friend who kept the company of fascists, I’d probably drop them real quick - notably as the current iteration of fascists are intent on ensuring people like me are dead or ground under their boot.
On the flip side, just because I had a disagreement with someone doesn’t mean other friends can’t be friends with that someone - it takes a lot to be called “an enemy” of myself.
Litelok X1 or X3, hiplok d1000 are the specific models that are angle grinder resistant.
It’s called speed tape, and genuinely is a thing used in the industry.
Too bad it ships so poorly. I’m looking at getting some kits to grow at home, but… :/
MG is owned by a Chinese company too, right?
Quite a few here in Australia.
Botox isn’t filler, and fillers aren’t botulinum toxin. The individual likely indulges in both, however.
Came here to recommend the gl.inet range. Folks love em on cruise ships for the same purpose as what you want.
I’m tempted to bring one with me to a hotel so I can bring a wifi enabled camera to watch my gear too, and not have to set it up with the wifi. If you need to authorise it with a web portal, often what you do is you connect with your phone (turn off random MAC), authorise on the phone, then connect to the gl.inet and have it spoof your phone’s Mac.
They can also support VPN too.
Acknowledging the truth means accepting that we’re fucked, that even if we weren’t individually responsible (maybe) we are still going to have to deal with the ramifications… And that’s scary. It’s far more comforting for there to be a secret cabal controlling everything and that really life is gonna be ok and you don’t have to change anything at all.
At least here in Australia parents were using the kids at the playground to socialise (standing right up in each other’s space, holding empty coffee cups to justify no mask), and so there were multiple vectors of infection. That and multigenerational households are more common in some parts of the world, so if the kid brings it home, whole family gets sick, hospital system overloads.
It wasn’t specifically kids suffer so oldies don’t die, but the continuation is that if the oldies are healthy, if anyone needs the hospital, there’ll be staff to look after them.
TL;DR people are taking the piss and making the jobs of HCWs harder… Not like that’s anything new 🙄
Given how out and proud the sentiments are expressed, the friend can’t say they didn’t know… I wouldn’t waste much time trying to have them see reason. You don’t accidentally join a dinner party where everyone else is a white supremacist, or an anti-vaxxer, or where everything they don’t like is woke and thus should be eliminated.
Either way I said probably… Which would likely follow as certainly after an attempt to see if maybe they have been wilfully ignorant (still not a good look).
