Submitted to the ST Ethics Review Board - rollo Sep 28, 08:30 17
- thanks for the input everyone. I tested pos again from walgreen's and am not going -- nm - rollo Sep 28, 10:46 1
  - In that case, I recommend not going. -- nm - con_carne Sep 28, 10:56
- Is it indoor or outdoor under a tent? -- nm - kelly Sep 28, 10:40 1
  - I know Rollo has already decided, but this was a great question one of us should have asked earlier. -- nm - David Sep 28, 11:16
- Keep in mind that many weddings are gatherings of elderly -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 28, 10:01
- A. But, frankly, I would generally jump at any reason not to go to a wedding. However, honestly, A. (NM) - Marlowe Sep 28, 09:50
- How important is your presence - to them and to you? It's gonna be "B" most likely. -- nm - Mop🧹 Sep 28, 09:34
- A -- nm - Dark Callisto 🦊 Sep 28, 09:15
- I'm with PFM. I'd definitely say A. -- nm - David Sep 28, 09:02
- B. If it’s an older wedding guest list, I’d maybe trend more to A if at all in doubt. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 28, 08:52
- I’d suggest going if feel well, but wear a mask and stay distant from others, prepared to tell the story of when testing started and symptoms status. -- nm - landbeck Sep 28, 08:39 1
  - This was my thought too but I think wearing a mask 😷 draws a lot of attention to you (instead of the wedding)…people take that personally. -- nm - Trending Sep 28, 08:44
- do what you feel comfortable, also recognizing if it ain't you there's a high likelihood it's gonna be someone else spreadin at the weddin -- nm - mr mooch Sep 28, 08:35
- B if you want to go. Otherwise A with a valid excuse. -- nm - VMan Sep 28, 08:34 2
  - This. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 28, 09:24 1
    - Or as an alternative, if the ceremony is outside, skip the reception. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 28, 09:42
- I'd say A but I'm conservative about these - I wouldn't want to run the risk of spreading esp to the wedding party -- nm - prayformojo Sep 28, 08:33

- Real World / Trishelle -- nm - Strongbad Sep 28, 09:35 1
  - To be fair, Facebook should have a status update for this. -- nm - Mop🧹 Sep 28, 09:38
- WHAT... THE... Oh, I see Krusty's got this covered already. -- nm - Mop🧹 Sep 28, 09:35
- Though if you were at one of Diddy’s parties and wanted to distract from whatever depravity you were up to, that’s a pretty good way to do it. -- nm - Roger More Sep 28, 08:36
- North/Polaris -- nm - rollo Sep 28, 08:08
- Hot! -- nm - David Sep 28, 07:45
- In Brett Farve fashion, Ellen Degeneres makes public a bunch of ailments she is suffering from…some think because of her ties with Diddy - Trending Sep 28, 07:33

I don't know who Clara Jeffery is, but this is a pretty racist thing to say? (pic) -- (link*) - Strongbad Sep 28, 04:00 [Attachment] 32
- Geared up for the war on Christmas... pagans would say that too though. -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 28, 10:06
- She’s the editor-in-chief of Mother Jones, which is probably part of the reason this is getting circulated -- (link) - Roger More Sep 28, 08:19 12
  - LOL at "dominant cultures" -- nm - Strongbad Sep 28, 09:28 7
    - I mean, Christianity is without a doubt a dominant culture in the USA. -- nm - Reagen Sep 28, 10:23 6
      - That she assumed the FA was a Christian imposing onto her as a "dominant culture" says a lot. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 28, 10:48 5
        
        Meh, some people don’t like being addressed in religious terms, especially when it’s to a large group of people. - Roger More Sep 28, 11:18
        
        While also saying very little. - znufrii Sep 28, 11:15 2
        
        The Montgomery comment. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 28, 11:25 1
        
        Ok. That’s what I figured. - znufrii Sep 28, 11:49
        
        Yup -- nm - Epiphany Sep 28, 10:53
  - (i'm also reasonably confident the last line was never actually uttered by a human being on that flight) -- nm - mr mooch Sep 28, 08:38
  - Okay, that adds a lot of missing information. - znufrii Sep 28, 08:27 1
    - Social media is where lack of context is a viking. -- nm - con_carne Sep 28, 08:29
  - Go read up on the definition of nationalism, editor-in-chief of Mother Jones. -- nm - con_carne Sep 28, 08:22
- Seems I hear that more and more. I'd almost prefer it to the old "have a nice day" -- nm - Meg Sep 28, 07:54 3
  - I hear it all the time here, across many businesses and many races/religions -- nm - Strongbad Sep 28, 09:34 1
    - Me too. I don’t really think much about it -- nm - Epiphany Sep 28, 10:57
  - I think a sticking point here is that paying customers don't want to hear "blessed" from a person representing the company. - con_carne Sep 28, 07:57
- I can see how to get there, but it requires a lot of inference. -- (edited) - znufrii Sep 28, 07:37 4
  - I see the route she took there, it was just a Candlyand level ridiculous route -- nm - ty97 Sep 28, 07:53 3
    - Some people are just desperate to be offended. -- (edited) - znufrii Sep 28, 08:06 2
      - It's social media, so the outrage is fake. People are right to be aware of Christian nationalism, but this person just has their definitions confused -- (edited) - con_carne Sep 28, 08:19 1
        
        This. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 28, 09:37
- Racist against whom? Christians? Can you be racist against a religion? - Krusty Sep 28, 06:54 6
  - I think the race question was about the last line. Agree with your other sentiment. This is like people getting bent out of shape over Happy Holidays -- nm - ty97 Sep 28, 07:08 5
    - Do we know the FA's or rowmate's ethnicity? Not knowing that, "bigoted" seems more apropos than "racist." -- nm* - con_carne Sep 28, 07:33 3
      - Right, we don't, thus why I can't make a determination on the race/bigot question. -- nm - ty97 Sep 28, 07:51 2
        
        "Bigotry" concerns belief/group membership, not race in particular. That's why I pulled out that word. -- nm - con_carne Sep 28, 07:54 1
        
        Yeah, I get what you mean. I guess it could be either (or both potentially?) depending on those involved -- nm - ty97 Sep 28, 07:56
    - I think that last line is just a dig at the Bible Belt and not a particular race of people. And yeah, it's very much like being wished Merry Christmas - Krusty Sep 28, 07:11
- I had seen the tweet (except the last line) earlier and rolled my eyes at it. Not sure how to interpret the last line. -- nm - ty97 Sep 28, 06:46 1
  - I'll amend re: the last line: it sounds like she is quoting her rowmate? -- (edited) - ty97 Sep 28, 06:48

Rick Beato talked about his YouTube stats today, he has 1.5B views and 4.5M subscribers. Jeez, I remember those years ago when we first got into him! -- (edited) - con_carne Sep 27, 22:05 [youtube] 4
- Walking that fine edge of content strikes has gotta be a bitch. I know he's had videos pulled and he's had to re-upload some stuff. -- nm - Mop🧹 Sep 28, 10:12
- I'm still not gonna buy one of his guitars. -- nm - Peglegpete Sep 27, 22:24
- yelling at clouds gets all them clicks -- nm* - mr mooch Sep 27, 22:10 1
  - Oh, that he does. The sad part is he always has such positivity, but hooks people in with hatey topic and thumbnail. -- nm - con_carne Sep 27, 22:26
