Well I guess that explains it lol

These ADHD memes hitting a little too hard

I am your father… you piece of shit

Complaining about the rules is, ironically, against the rules. I found that out the hard way.

Great ideas. Too bad our politicians don’t listen to us.

You mean introduce some level of automation? Because I already manually name the files according to keywords

This isn’t exactly an answer, but ReNamer is a free tool that allows you to name batches of files. It’s a pretty versatile tool that lets you do multiple things to the filename of different media types.

This is why I name literally everything I save according to words I would use to search it.

Now they tell me!

Okay, what about when there is a lack of consensus? When you have scientists who, for example, argue that the virus came from the Wuhan lab whereas the narrative being told is that that’s crazy. This is the problem I have with people in this thread assuming that everyone who isn’t immediately on board is dumb, delusional, conspiratorial, etc. We’re not talking about flat Earth theory here; it’s not that simple.

Holy shit, a reasonable comment that doesn’t just assume the other half of the country are idiots.

People don’t know what to believe and are skeptical for good reason (some historical, some present). Time and time again we’ve seen our institutions fails us. We see blatant corruption that the elites don’t even bother to hide (e.g. corporate capture). And we see freedoms eroded in times of crisis (e.g. Patriot Act). I’m not saying we should be conspiratorial about doctors or science. But reasonable people on both sides of the aisle see what’s happening to our institutions and this has knock on effects.

99% of medicine is throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks.

Social distancing was an easy way to make it less likely to spread

I’m just going to keep copy and pasting in this thread: This was not communicated to the public in the beginning. Recommendations were stated definitively (i.e., without the qualification that we don’t really know what to do yet) and then latter revised. This erodes public trust.

Masks are more effective in protecting others if you are sick, rather than protecting yourself if others are sick.

This was 100% not the messaging that was told to the public in the beginning.

If you’re going to lock the country down then you need to support small businesses too. Imagine spending long nights building a business only to see it disappear under COVID restrictions. And then you learn that the restrictions weren’t necessary.
