Honda can at least form a coherent thought and didn't make most of the threads unusable by spamming them all endlessly.

Moon landing - real

chemtrail - fake, simply contails

flat earth - fake, red herring to lump free thinkers in with quacks

911 - used to justify the military industrial complex. Where were the "weapons of mass destruction" used to justify invading Iraq and 500,000+ innocent Iraqi deaths? Who went to jail?

Well, when you lose everything after being fired from your jobs for refusing the COVID vaccine, those things happen!

I know Fuzebox mentioned that to you, but at least I didn't marry an ugly asian pornstar who took miles of BBC like he did. I had a child with an upper class woman who is an amazing mother, and I play games online with my kid every day. As soon as I can afford it, I have an open invite to go live with them. Currently working on coding stuff for an online income while barely surviving off residual income from the adult industry.

It is no secret that 2020-2024 have been the most difficult years of my life. Incredible that refusing a medical experiment got you so much punishment from society, but here we are.

Geese, those Covid years were crazy. Just thinking about it doesn't seem real.

Can't believe so many businesses/industries forced people to take the vaccine and even after when it was shown the vaccine didn't stop the spread, they still mandated it.

Hope you get back on your feet, sounds like a pretty shitty situation.

i just cant square how someone who has taken toxic drugs and alcohol that mess with your mind and body for years and years can be so against covid vaccines because a very small percentile of people got sick from them, enough so that you would sacrifice your entire livelihood and family over it. i mean sure if you're one of those "my body is a temple" types then its more understandable

When the first lockdowns happened at the start of COVID, I was working at a construction company as dispatch before being given the role of health and safety manager with the tasks of turning the company paperless and re-writing the health and safety manual for COR certification. ( we got it, I was team lead on that one )

In that particular industry, many of the workers are "lifers" and are basically their jobs. They see themselves as the hardest workers, and many of them were 'ard as nails. 16 hours out in the rain and cold and they'd show up for their next shift in 8 hours ready to go. Tough people.

Well, when the lockdowns happened, those people suddenly lost who they were, and at least 2 of the workers suicided or overdosed in the first month because they lost their purpose in life. As someone who spoke to many of the workers every day, I wonder if I should have done more to reach out, because one of the deaths hit me really hard as the woman was such a nice person and she had been clean from drugs for 10+ years because she threw herself into work and fitness, but then, no work, and the gyms were closed... isolation sets in and...

The entire response to COVID was fucking retarded and, yet, nobody will ever go to jail for it. None of the politicians in Canada even ever talk about a public investigation into the response, the hows, and the whys.

I mean... look what they got away with convincing people to do:

You lost your family and your job because you listened to a bunch of rando's online instead of doctors like your baby momas parents.

Did you test every single drug before you snorted up your nose? or did you snort anything people gave you?

I wonder what the percentage is of people who do hard drugs but refuse to get vaxxed. i bet the number is high.

1. My own father-in-law went blind in one of his eyes within 72 hours of his first dose

2. I was the health and safety guy at a construction company and a couple of the workers told me they developed tinnitus immediately after their shots. Also, when I got back to work right before the vaccine mandated kicked in that got me fired, I did notice that sick days, post-vaccination, were up like 10%-15%, since I was in charge of that. People got sicker after the shots were rolled out, and workers told me about how the shots themselves knocked them on their ass for days: rashes, dizzy spells, other issues.

3. Another guy I knew developed fainting issues from his 2nd shot and had to be hospitalized

4. I lived across the street from a vaccination center and watched ambulances pull up several times and take people away


And, finally...

Anyone who partied in the 90's and 00's, did you ever see anyone overdose? Hear of anyone who got really sick from booze?

I must have gone to 1000+ parties, had soooooooooooooo much fun growing up during ClubVibes.com era, and from when I was like 16-38, and the only times I ever heard of or witnessed anyone partying die or get sick were:

1. PNE Halloween night once where some kids popped like 10+ caps of e and OD'ed in the cuddle puddle

2. That poor kid in Langley B.C. who was recorded dying of an e overdose after being pressured to take a bunch at once

Before fentanyl, for all of my times being around party people and coke heads, not once, not ONCE did I ever meet anyone or see anyone overdose or die, it was the best time of my life living young, wild, and free, and, comparitively, it was super safe.

Safer than riding a motorcycle, that's for sure, as I had a friend who was big into BC Sports Bikes and he was going to multiple funerals per year from what I recall.

Well... back to coding, my Claude free AI timer is almost up!

Philosophical question: Is there ever a time where vaccines should be mandatory?

I feel like the problem with COVID is that it just wasn't grotesque or lethal enough. It had a pretty high survivability rate.

If a disease was spreading like wildfire that killed 25% of people who contracted it, and/or if you did survive you had a good chance you would be horribly disfigured, or disabled or something like that do you think you'd see as much resistance to vaccination for it?

At the beginning of COVID, mass panic took over and many people lost their minds. Remember the fucking toilet paper hoarding? I literally saw people fighting over the last rolls of TP at the Thrifty Foods in Maple Ridge.

Does anyone know what actually happened to Hondaracer?

Kind of bizarre he just quit posting all of a sudden.
