Imagine the smell. In Enterprise smokin' hot T'Pol had to use a numbing agent in her nose because of the smell of humans. I always saw an analogue to that in real life.
I believe it was Hugh Jackman that played Wolverine in one of the early X-Men movies. During an interview, the interviewer asked Jackman what it would be like to have Wolverine's mutant abilities. Jackman, loosely paraphrased, replied that he'd hate it because he'd smell all the homeless that urinate around his city.
The uber driver is enough of a dipshit to pick these two idiots up at a protest, he should have expected this. I'll admit he has brass balls for driving around while this shit's going on but he must have a deathwish.
Or, with COVID-19, it's now his primary source of income and he can't be as choosy as he might like.
Still, I'll agree that nothing good comes from picking up protestors in the hotbed of protest activity. However, I'm not sure if drivers get dinged if they refuse fares in those circumstances.
If I walked into work and on day one some dude starts talking about the communal piss jar I'm fucking out of there right away and again the fuck is with these guys and fucking pee?
That would be the time for someone to send an anonymous tip to the local health department. That's the type of thing that would lead them to visit the place with a chip on their shoulder and the mindset to find every single violation they could find.
Awfully strange that nobody in journalism is investigating what contribution the riots had to spreading COVID-19. Isn't that just very peculiar?
Contact tracers in some areas are being told to avoid asking people if they've been out protesting even though we know form the news and live streams few if any are wearing masks and social distancing according to their locality's restrictions.
"
A new study, published this month by the National Bureau of Economic Research, used data on protests from more than 300 of the largest US cities, and found no evidence that coronavirus cases grew in the weeks following the beginning of the protests"
I'm going to press X to doubt this study. Even in areas where contract tracers aren't being told to avoid the protest question, governors and other elected officials are blaming the uptick of cases and deaths on opening up too fast or people in reopened activities not following proper protocols. Nobody wants to open Pandora's Box and concede that mass protests are probably more a contributing factor than businesses reopening.
Isn't this the same sort of thing they would call tone-policing if someone told them these exact same things?
If the race realists are right and 1% of blacks are smart enough to get highs-ranking jobs without help, so be it. Let a fair system reflect the unfairness of the cosmos.
Hand in hand with that, the push continues to have more "teachers of color" teaching in the inner-city because of the (misguided) belief that students learn better from someone that looks like them. If one accepts this premise, than all the good, well-respected minority teachers that teach in predominantly white districts need to leave from those jobs. Somehow, I don't think they thought about the unintended ramifications of their stance and that they're actually arguing for a return of segregation in the classrooms. So much for
Brown v. Board of Education.
If you work anywhere in medical that isn't software dev for a vendor (and even then you still might) you will end up dealing with death outside of friends and family at some point. She is in the wrong industry on both counts.
Can confirm. Even something as simple as a testing a database query on a patient file can return the sort of records you mentioned. As tragic as young or unexpected deaths are for those directly affected by them, anyone that's easily triggered by the mere presence of death dates in database records probably needs therapy to help them improve their coping skills.

As much as BLM people and their allies feel that their detractors' true colors are being revealed as protests drag out, I'd say we've learned just as much about them. At this point, it seems less about awareness, accountability, and reform, and more about finding ways to rationalize their own hate and desires for divisiveness/destruction.
Stay safe overnight.
