The Coronavirus Thread...

JFC talk about a let them eat cake moment

That tweet from the mayor's office is getting ratio'd to hell and back. The people are sick of this bullshit.

Don't the Chinese have a completely different New Year?

what’s your point?

what’s your point?

If they celebrate at another time why would they be "celebrating"? I'd think it's just a random picture of a Chinese celebration taken god knows where and when used to incite.

I thought that might where you were going. It could be the case but why not do some research and post evidence supporting your assertion?

I did a quick Google search and found this on CNN:

Crowds fill streets in China's pandemic-hit Wuhan to celebrate the New Year

And this from the New York Post:

Wuhan, once world’s COVID-19 epicenter, celebrates 2021 with large crowds


People hold balloons as they gather to celebrate the arrival of the new year in Wuhan, China, original epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic.REUTERS

I'm open to it being a manipulated story but I haven't seen anything supporting that claim thus far. Also, while they have their own Chinese New Year (02-21-22), they are no longer isolated, living under a proverbial rock so I dont find it shocking they would celebrate along with rest of the world.....well, most of the rest of the world

I went to the tweet and first comment was no masks, so I thought it had to be stock photo, since mask use is pretty common. I went back after your post and turns out picture is from behind and commenter is an idiot. Masks everywhere as can be seen in these pics.
After not hearing anything from Wuhan for so long, makes you wonder if it is government propaganda, wouldn't put it past Chinese... A final fuck you to Trump.

I've come to the conclusion reading most Twitter comments is tantamount to dunking your head into a pool of insanity

Isn't that Twitter period?

 

[L.T. Fan]

I seem to get along fine without ever having Twitter.

its getting that way unfortunately

there's an occasional good post, I joined years ago to follow the results of fellow poker players in tournaments and really enjoyed it, then politics took over seemingly everything and turned it and many other things to shit

Not just Twitter either. Pretty much all social media has turned into a steaming pile of shit anymore. I have accounts, but rarely open any of them. Too much bullshit..

Getting that way? Pretty much all social media is a cesspool, with Twitter and Facebook the worst. And has been for quite awhile now.

Yeah, there is some decent content on both, but gets tiresome in a hurry wading thru the shit to find it.

you got that right, I just use Facebook for their marketplace (which is a great place to find deals on stuff folks are selling) but inevitably end up taking a peak at some post along the way and sure enough it has devolved into an argument about Trump, regardless of the original topic

True, it wasn't like that when I got started with Twitter/Facebook but the whole country has turned insanely political about everything, its nuts

no, how did you get that out of what I wrote?

I was merely pointing out how your lack of use of Twitter (ie ignorance of the Twitterverse) is bliss for you

You're gonna get LT'd.
