“The Michael Jordan Of Memes”: 50 Hilariously Random Memes From This IG Page

Critical thinking, and basing your opinion on a bit of research is apparently too much effort for many people these days, unfortunately... it is a lot easier to let others think for you I guess...

Well, when you have legions of people spreading misinformation, going around licking items in stores while being Covid positive, refusing to mask up, going to work or out in public infected because "Covid isn't real," and of course, those who were infected & wanted to quarantine, but either had employers who would not give them time off or they couldn't afford to take time off, and so on, it's really hard to say whether those preventative measures would have been more effective or not. 🤷‍♀️ It's difficult to say " Masks & quarantine didn't work anyway " when there were a bunch of twats running around spreading Covid.

Ultimately, they did not work. But the plan was never to stop the spread entirely, the plan was to simply slow it down, to spread out the burden on the hospitals so that everyone doesn't come in critically Ill at the same time. I'm in the UK where the covid policy was a joke. Months of indecision by the government, multiple lockdowns, but it did ease the burden on the NHS by slowing down the spread. In my opinion the Swedish herd immunity method was better and got in the way of life a lot less- but they had a much better funded national health service, with a lower population. In my opinion even the Chinese method was better- instant total lockdown, then all is fine within a couple of months.

Whether or not they worked is irrelevant. At the time that masking, vaccinations, lock-downs, and school closures were recommended they were based on the best information we had at the time. Half the United States agreed that we would follow those recommendations and the other half declared that they "weren't sheep". In retrospect you can feel free to say you were right all along, but at the time, people that refused to following those recommendations were, in fact, a$$holes.

Yeah because of idjits who were incapable of following simple instructions.

Worked for everyone I know. We didn't get it until everything was back to normal with everything open and nobody masking. And because we'd all been vaxxed none of us were so sick we had to be hospitalized. In other words, 100% the way the experts said it would work. I also don't know anybody whose had polio other than my great aunt who died 20 years ago (not from polio). How people can be so stubbornly, willfully ignorant is quite byond me.

LOL do they do that? I don't follow the Daily Mail. But it does seem the majority of the threads on BP are scraped from somewhere else. Heavy borrowing from Reddit but also other sites. I'm kind of okay with that for stuff that is entertaining but I grow weary of the amount of 'drama trash' they repost when they need filler. Which does seem to be around the start of every week plus more during the week. I want to laugh and see beautiful things, not read questions with super obvious answers like, "I punched my girlfriend in the boob and shoved her into a sewer hole. AITA?" lol

Then channel 7 Australia plucks a random name from the twitter hate speak and announces the name of the killer, defaming an innocent man.

I've seen that more times than I can count

The whole site is based off a big fat copy and paste from other sites

Ha! You kids. Some of us don't even know what gen X Y or Z means. Seriously, I have to look it up if I can be bothered.

Your mind could learn the new terms, but another part questions whether it's worth the effort. That part of mine decided it wasn't.

As a Gen Zer, I'm disappointing in myself for understanding, but here's the translation: "Is Baby Gronk rich enough to show it? Or is Lizzo just manipulating him?"

Are you older gen Z? Because your generation's lower end borders alpha and soon entirely new slang words will start popping up which you won't even comprehend.

Same, at 24 most news looks like this to me too. Idk what is going on

“I am Gronk”
