/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

>>10763234
Still going. Not thrilled about the mandate getting lifted. But fucking irritated by friends with big followings virtue signaling that they're not going.

>>10763237
The virtue signaling is my favorite. Seeing people that I know weren't going, that I know are still going, or have been going maskless to various events already is a real treat.

>>10763239
That would make the anti-vaxxers the virtue signalers

People who are making a huge fuss about the mandate shouldn't go in the first place. Why go to an event with 30,000+ people if you don't want to get sick or spread anything? It's not a necessity, even if you're an artist you can sell shit online.

>>10763242
The difference between an event where everyone is vaccinated and masking is wildly different than one where people arent doing either in terms of safety.
>Just don't go
Ok as soon as I get my money back from MAPS I'll not go

>>10763245
so you're still going, nice

>>10763239
Don't forget about people who aren't on the hook for a hotel and just lobbycon every con they go to.

Still going. Feel bad for the people who actually care and can't back out because of sunken cost and think it's kinda dumb they removed the vax/clean rule. Idgaf about the mask shit tho. Might have a few roomies back out, but the rest of us can easily handle the cost so it's no biggie.

>>10763245
Except we now have data that suggests the vax effectiveness wears off after about 4 months so anyone who got the jab back when they were first released has as much protection as a non vax person. Vax mandates are basically meaningless at this point and anyone that thinks they are helpful is uninformed or just virtue signaling.

>>10763255
>Anyone who was vaccinated more than 4 months ago has the same protection as an unvaxxed person
Lmao this isn't even close to true

>>10763256
True they're actually worse off with compromised immune systems, messed up that people lined up to willingly get that

>>10763255
Thanks to anti-vaxxers not getting vaxxed to begin with, they let their bodies be incubators for the Trump Virus to let it mutate into various strains that dilutes the potency of vaccines.
Now everyone else has to deal with the mess they created.

First for fuck seething lardass vaxtards such as >>10763259 Please continue to cry, your tears are delicious.

>>10763263
So the anti-vaxxers?

>>10763264
Objectively incorrect statement but k

the amount of people who are suddenly going to go to ACen because of a mask/vaxx mandate being lifted days before the con is going to be extremely negligible

>>10763265
300 pound fingers wrote this post.

>>10763267
Objectively incorrect statement but k.

>>10763266
way less than the amount of people who are going to NOT go because of this change, so I am surprised to see how many people are foolishly saying that the change is a cash grab from ACen for more badge sales lmao

>>10763268

See, the great thing about reality is that just because you say something wrong, it doesn't make it automatically correct. Because it's not. Please proceed to tell me you're right, but it will change nothing

>Reddit frog post
How to get your post instantly ignored.

>>10763245
>He's still going
You never cared about not spreading the virus. The variant that is significantly weaker than the one from 2 years ago. You're still going. Even if every single person there was vaxxed and masked. There's a good chance of it spreading and (You) catching it. Is that scenario better than no masks and nobody vaccinated? Sure, but it's still not changing the fact you're going to an event with thousands of people.

>>10763279
>Even if every single person there was vaxxed and masked. There's a good chance of it spreading
Proof?

>>10763278
The irony is palpable.

>>10763269
Too many people talk a big game. The con will still be packed as always and more than half of the people bitching on facebook have the qualifier of 'I wasn't going to go either way' in their post.

>>10763282
They're holding 100+ dollars of my money hostage
I either go and risk getting sick or I lose money
And this is your big gotcha?

>>10763283
Option 3: Stop being such a pussy

>>10763283
Just lose the money. If $100 is such a detrimental loss to you, you probably shouldn't be going anyways and if your health is so important to you it shouldn't matter. You're just whining because you want your money back. I agree it's a bit shitty to change it over a few days before the con, but if you care that much you won't go.

>The vaccine makes you being hospitalized because of the virus significantly likely, but does not grant you 100% immunity
Common sense. It's fine to go to a convention and do other things. Have fun, man. If you're vaccinated and wear a mask you're keeping yourself out of the hospital if you get sick and making it less likely for others to get sick but don't get on a high horse calling this a super spreader event when you are going to be there yourself.

>>10763287
>The vaccine makes you likely to be hospitalized if you get it
Shut the fuck up forever

Guise I tested positive for COVID today. I’m asymptomatic, but I’m going to ACen maskless. See you all there

>>10763289
Yeah I'm thinking based

Oh boy, the anti-vaxxer is an ESL.

>>10763288
What the fuck do you think it does? It helps your body deal with it if you get it. You aren't immune completely because of it. Retard

>>10763292
You will never be a real woman,m. Have fun shaking in your boots the whole weekend over the common cold knowing you'll kill yourself before you turn 30

>>10763293
It doesn't make it more likely that you go to the hospital, stop being retarded

>>10763295

Will ACen provide free COVID testing?

Don't forget to the totally secure new system of colored wristbands to show your vaccine status! People totally wouldn't be able to fake that one.

Are you really that naive to think people aren't using those fake vax card sites, getting a fake results screen online, etc.? Beyobd that, the people checking do the minorest of glances at your ID and card, and they have no way to actually verify any of it.

>>10763310
Ignore him. He's just an axe wound tranny trying to justify the most progressive way to to to a so-called super spreader event

Throwing a room party, GIGAVAXXED ONLY. You must have taken ALL available shots and boosters to get in. We're gonna have all the best bussy and pilk.

Does anyone else not care at all and thinks this is hilarious on both sides. I'm going to do so much fucking cocaine

I can't wait to interact with large crowds like this again without face coverings!

>>10763313
My favorite is "X said this and only the other side could be dishonest" amidst unverified conflicting information.

>>10763259
LMAO it mutated like 3 times before any vaccine came out you absolute tool. The vaccines were never the answer to stopping it and they were lying to you the whole time.

If it was actually about our health and preventing things then the FDA would get off their ass and approve Novavax which has been more effective on protecting against omicron AND has less/no side effects. It's already being used all over the world and it's made in the USA but we can't even have it because someone in the administration is too busy making bank off of Phizer.

I just want to have fun and cosplay… whys it always some form of drama now

If you don't want drama just ignore the thread any discord faggotry and go to the con, the only drama from this is contained entirely online.

coke bros ........... hi uwu

>>10763310
So you don't have proof.
Gotcha

>>10763319
One, wrong.
Second.
>Novavax
The problem there is the fact they couldn't produce enough of the vaccine to the produce demand and as a result they watered down their current stock. If they rushed it to the public as was, you'd be bitching about the efficacy.

>>10763329
>Efficacy
People still get the J+J shot which has a way lower efficacy and way higher incident rate of complications than any other shot

>>10763329
Nope. The problem is that the Biden Administration rolled back project lights peed once they had big daddy Pfizer so that Novavax was subject to more birocratic idiocy to apply for approval.

>>10763331
Because it was rushed which lead to errors like you're wanting with Novavax. Also J&J's issue was sanitation and design since their vaccine production got contaminated while being produced which is what disrupted its production. Novavax's issue is they just don't have enough to meet demands.

>>10763336
Nice type piss tape man.
Also 'lights peed' was giant flop that only produced astrazeneca, something so shoddy it wasn't even approved in the US.

i thought this board was for cosplay and Lolita stuff? why don't you guys take this faggy shit to lgbt

Just wear a N95 or equivalent if you're afraid about covid, mandste or not. Virtue signaling about going/not going is stupid as fuck. It's like wearing a seat belt. You can wear it or not wear it, idgaf.

Well, one of the people I go with is only still going because we all chipped in to get him a plane ticket and he can't get that refunded, so there's a badge they grabbed from it.

Not the anon you were talking to so sorry for butting in, but I think you're thinking someone else.
Novavax is available to roughly 2 billion people worldwide, and has been for months.
It's just been waiting in the US for approval since February.
Novavax is completely done, the fda isn't asking them for anything more. They just haven't responded to the filing for several months. No one, including novavax has any idea why, and the fda refuses to make a statement about it.
Meanwhile, it's been so successful in the UK that they're approving it for teens.

>>10763371
>texas
U fackin wot m8

>>10763373
The texas thread was also talking about covid policy via san sapan and Akon, anom probably just had both tabs open and forgot which is which

>>10763371
We all know what comes out of texas, and you don't look like a steer.

>>10763372
The other anon was complaining about why it wasn't approved sooner, and it was because of the reasons listed. It will probably be approved soon because the production issues were resolved, but you have to remember they had over a year to figure out the logistics.

>>10763357
The guy responsible gets the blame, simple as.

>>10763377
There were production issues, but it had nothing to do with a supposed watering down
It's because after the first 3 us vaccines got approved, they removed the manufacturing standards they used and implemented stricter ones for all new vaccines (these weren't random, it was the old, 2019 standards) so novavax had to suddenly switch gears ONLY in the US to meet those requirements
Which is why they started producing in other countries back in December, qnd we're still waiting in the US
Apparently this morning they announced that the fda waa going to have a review meeting in june to decide on approval sometime after it. So they've literally just been ignoring it for some reason no one knows.
It might be a historical record for how long between submission and review
The typical time is 3 weeks. This is looking like 24 weeks.

>>10763380
Xi Xingping?

>>10763381
Production issues were why they watered it down in the first place which is why the FDA dragged their feet since they didn't want a repeat of J&J in any given capacity and explains why the gears were switched.

>>10763385
>watered it down
You keep saying that, but that's not what happened, I'm really not sure how you think that.
If you're talking about the 90% vs 95% think, that was the standard that changed mid-production.
They were formulating it for the standard that existed, then the standard changed and switching the formula set them back
1 month.
The big delay was that they went from being able to simultaneously advance development, paperwork, and manufacturing separately (operation warp speed) to having to go back to the one step at a time system.
Don't you remember fauci specifically talking about how a vaccine would take 2 years to develop, then they completely changed the regulatory environment to allow it to speed up, 3 vaccines got out under those rules, then they changed the rules back, and the very next vaccine is back to a 2 year processing
This is all very public information, novavax has been making been pressers every 2 or 3 months keeping everyone up to date on the progress.

Why did Reisen bring a gun to Anime STL?

Did he really threaten to kill himself

>>10763395
If you are a concealed carry holder, you always carry

>>10763382
Trump funded the bio weapon lab it was developed at. And he had full control over the budget at the time so he could have easily stopped its production, but didn't, plus he dismantled the first response unit to such an outbreak months before it happened and then knowingly lied to the American public to all but ensure it spread throughout the US.
It's on him.

Reisen can't even carry a gun though. He had his license revoked.

>>10763411
Trump was within his power to stop it since he had full control over the budget, but he didn't and it was developed, and escaped under his watch. And let's not forget Trump disbanded the pandemic response team, which was designed to respond to such outbreaks and then knowingly lied to the American people about the severity of the virus.

>>10763420
He ordered it stopped, they did stop it, and then secretly refunded it a few months later using another grant.
Keep up

>>10763422
You mean after Trump Virus was developed and spread to the US in late spring of 2020?
Apply yourself.

Trump did slash the amount of CDC staff in China by 2/3rds prior to the Trump Virus outbreak, if you hitch your wagon to that sinking ship.

lol they changed the requirements again
https://twitter.com/animecentral/status/1526711809297752066?s=20&t=9o63w9qP-dXcBDYMQB-X9A

>>10763391
You're not taking into account the fact that the US was needing a vaccine now and then which is why the usual restrictions were relaxed, but it created issues like J&J and Astrazeneca, the latter being the only vaccine to take funding from Warp Speed and was so questionable, it still wasn't approved in the US.
Once there were viable vaccines on the market, the restrictions went back. Unless you really think we need to keep things relaxed past the emergency situation.
At best, Novavax just had a string of bad luck because when the window was open, they got hamstrung by production issues so they couldn't apply for immediate approval and they got it resolved, the window for fast track approval was closed.
If you want to imply something else is happening, I'd like to see creditable evidence.

that's patently false.

>>10763443
Funding to develop the vaccine, which is the point of contention and doesn't change the facts.

>>10763434
Tell ACEN to stop being retarded first.
I'd rather have Trump be in charge of ACEN so he could run it into the ground like his businesses, if he doesn't use it to launder money, and maybe a good convention would rise out of the ashes.

>>10763292

At this point I'm tired of arguing with you alex jones wannabes. Want to believe in crazy conspiracy theories, whatever. But it shouldn't be influencing conventions public policy.

>>10763357
Just like the Obunggler lives rent free in your minds

>>10763460
They only took funding after they produced it, the only outlier was astrazeneca, which was not approved in America. The whole argument is about producing the vaccine. The fact you're resorting to personal attacks now only shows your argument is crumbling.

>>10763434
no, the country is on the verge of a civil war you cant stop it

Bro I'm literally a local, I know what Chicagoans are like. This is still insanely fucking annoying to read.

Nah, I got no reason to return back to Chicago. ACEN was fun when I didn't know how cons work, and thought that the sheer number of people were cool. But as I got older, I fucking hate doing meet ups by the loading docks, and the O'hare con center is a lot smaller than I remember it being. There's a Giordanos here in Ohio, and Portillos wasn't that gr8 so I got no reason to go.

I don't normally cosplay because I don't fit a lot of character looks. I just put together a last minute one in the last few months as a Lighting Fast Anime VHS repairman. I made a wheel of the worst spinner and have some themed topics/anime on the wheel.

The most obnoxious part about all this shit is its so obviously these retards are just virtue signaling about the whole thing.
Just wear a fucking mask yourself if you're so hard up about it, but demanding everyone be forced to follow your side's rules is horseshit
If you believe masks work then your own mask should protect you just fine, and you're the only one you need to worry about.
If you dont, then other people wearing them doesn't hurt you

>Virtual signaling
Can't find a more overused term than that.

>>10763595
For fucking real. I support vaccines, I've gotten three doses, and I have and use N95 masks (everyone should be able to get them now). I don't give a fuck if the other people are supposed to wear them. If they're really worried, they can wear their own N95. I'm going to a concert tomorrow in a blue city that has rolled back its mask and vaccine requirements for events and everything else. I'll probably be one of a few wearing a mask if it's anything like the last concert I went to. Doesn't matter. I have my N95 and that'll protect me.

>>10763543
Will there be one this year?

>>10763595
>The point of the mask is reduce the particulates in the air
>The particulates people are most worried about are viruses that are spread by other humans
>An unmasked person, especially if the yelling or breathing hard which drunk people tend to do, are just blasting particulates. If they were wearing a mask yes they would also be spreading particulates but in low volume at a much shorter range.

>X 30k attendees
>"Her der why are you getting upset that I'm making your mask work harder?! Don't you believe in it?!"

Masks work best when other masks, just like a shield wall works better with other shields. I'm not a child. I don't think my mask is magic. It's not a forcefield. It's just a tool. That tool works better in concert with others. You're an adult to you know this. You just value getting your treats without any self reflection more. No one is even saying don't have your treats. This country is unbearable without any treats. The simple ask here is please don't be a boar about it and since your ego demands that you maintain the illusion of individual agency, despite all the evidence around you, you chimp out at the mere suggestion. Stop personalizing it. This is a collective action. At like a man instead of a boy.

>>10763608
If the masks worked half as well as you claim they do we would have "flattened the curve" a year and a half ago when they were mandated fucking everywhere

are they trying to cut down on parties?

>>10763611
>>10763620
the part that gets everyone is that people take off their masks when they get home. no one wears it 100% of the time, so their defense gets breached eventually when they take it off.

unless they're an antisocial neet. in which case they'll be fine.

Stupid question, but can I get a full weekend pass at the door or is it too late?

PEOPLE START FLYING IN TODAY AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

>>10763611
Get over yourself. There was never an actual shut down in the U.S. We had at best disruptions. You had limited restrictions in March 2020. You had Anti mask protests started in April 2020. This is the U.S. not China. We never tried for zero covid here. We never had the state capacity to even attempt that. The grocery store putting a little sign on the door and having an announcement over the intercom asking you to wear a mask while you bought treats isn't the totalitarian nightmare you think it is.

Also if masks were as ineffective as you claim why do ER staff bother with all that PPE?

>>10763620
>I don't think my mask is magic. It's not a forcefield. It's just a tool.
Japan's numbers are no where near as bad as the U.S. death cult even with the touch and go vax distribution and Japanese being just as pig headed as Americans about going out for their treats. But you know good example.


This is the illusion of psychotic individual agency I'm talking about. Your can rage against living in the context of your environment all you want but you do have a conscience you know that embracing a greater collective good is correct so why torture yourself? You all talk about being free and living decadently but your always going to have that voice in your head. That's why you feel you have to trigger the libs. You're not nearly as hedonist or nihilist as you think you are. You're never going have fun if you were able to do that you wouldn't feel the need to triggers the libs. You wouldn't need to have this amorphous enemy you and blame for why you're not having fun. I need to own the libs so you can smite your own conscience. But the great news is you don't have to do that you can live in line with conscience. You can live as a social being.

>>10763634
Yup you can still buy those it'll just be expensive

>>10763620

But the great news is you don't have to do that. You can live in line with conscience. You can live as a social being. A really easy way to do that is to let go of your ego and wear a mask in social settings. Incredibly easy stuff.

>>10763590
What the fuck are you even talking about?

>>10763660
That little voice is not there at all lol fuck you cultists and your “treats” talk, you had two years to lose weight and not be susceptible to a killer case of coof. Still scared and seething then not my problem now. That’s what my little voice says.

You are not mentally fit to attend an anime convention and that is a LOW fucking bar

two more days

>>10763358
Only done it a few times and didn't do anything else in combination (I don't like to mix). Got me pumped as fuck for a little while and I felt more snappy/whitty. No real feel other than the numbness in your nasal cavity/throat and gums if you bump.
If you've ever had your teeth drilled/worked on, they use novacaine to numb your gums in the shot, and if feels exactly like that numbness.
Honestly don't see the big deal but if you're piss drunk I'm sure it can do wonders

Welcome to weeb website fake nerd. Fun facts about Japan: Japan likes sakoku and they did it for 200 years. They are also renowned xenophobic, as they ruled that their constitution does not apply to foreigners, even those working or schooling in the country. They have opted to improving technology for robots to care for the elderly as their birthrate declines instead of importing ready and willing foreigners to do so. Pandemics makes for a great excuse to try sakoku 2.0 don't they.

lmfao this is exactly how covid spread all over place. people doing it for the lulz

IM SO FUCKIG EXCITED LETS GOOOOOOOOOO today i will be packing and making sure nothing is missing for my cosplays or anything else and then im gonna scoot scoot in my car over to chicago

unfortunately, the effectiveness of the covid precaution brainwashing (probably from people's school systems/universities) is super obvious in all of these con threads where the most yellowbellied of the neurotic freaks (and trolls lol) gather their courage to go above and beyond condemning the unvaccinated in unison. they are deluded in thinking all of these methods ever made any difference in how prolific the reported case numbers are. you'd have to be a complete idiot at this point to bother - how many times have the variant mutations been pegged at "40x more infectious"? it was already supposed to be super infectious to begin with! do you not remember that in march/april 2020 you'd potentially get it from being in the same grocery store as other people? that one person that was infected would be likely to infect the whole store, and that it was floating into people's noses from adjacent aisles? if we've gone 100x or more in terms of how easily it spreads, i could fart in a plane and you'd get directly infected by it if you were within 1,000 miles of it. that genie is out of the bottle so it's time to get the fuck on with your life and stop being prissy bitches about people not being as gullible about experimental treatments as you are.

also, anecdotally: everyone i know aside from one person is vaccinated. neither of us have gotten sick, meanwhile every single one of the others has had some kind of immune system issue since their shots. i'm sure i'll be ill with something eventually and that it will be attributed to covid (if it's any time soon), but it hasn't happened yet. i've been going out with no concern for illness beyond normal hygiene practices (washing hands in an actual sink, etc) since early summer 2020. one person i know even had an early shingles outbreak ~5 months after their last vaccine. for what it's woth, i consider the mrna-vaccine recipients' breathing as legitimately toxic but i'd still let them go to the con with no mask lol.

How long are the badge lines early Friday morning? Client at work decided to go full retard and needs need there hand held so I may not get there tonight.

>>10763967
You will want to die

Is it safe to assume it’ll be WORSE Saturday morning?

>>10764009
Yes. Saturday badge pickup at most cons is the worst. More people off of work, going for one day, children who couldn't go on a scKK0AVhool day.

>>10764009
Yes.

>>10763876
>anyone who had any semblance of a job knows this was not true
I work for a factory that has three locations across the city. Only one location had any furloughs and everyone who wanted to return after that month, did. At my location we never shutdown and I did my job in person up through today. My gf works as a manager of a restaurant and they had one week were they were "closed" in March so they could figure out how to do mass curbside and then was open continuously after that. Not saying there weren't disruptions but we had at best hiccups here. Of all the industrialized counties the U.S. had the softest touch and babies like yourself still act like it was your Vietnam bc you couldn't eat inside the Applebee's. You could still get To Go but that is sign of govt overreach or something
>we never tried zero covid here
A zero covid policy is having the state capacity to do what China is currently doing or what many European countries tried to do but gave up. It means mass lock downs, meaning you can't leave your house, w recurring payments to workers who are unable to to go to work. It mean nationalizing industry to keep the economy going & the nation guard being used to distribute food. It means mass testing and actual contact tracing. It means govt teams doing deep cleans of public spaces. The U.S. did exactly zero of those things. All we did was ask people to abide by guidelines they were confused by due to conflicting information or mostly blew off. We instantly individualized the response
>What is Companies Firing and Laying off workers who wanted to exercise My Body My Choice for $500
beyond mostly being a lie. I call it half assed volunteerism which is all this country even attempted. I know a lot of companies talked this big talk but next to none did anything. Most place at most asked their employees to get their vax w/ the incentive of a gift card. Anyways I'm sorry your access to treats during the last two years lead you to consider suicide.

>>10764021
I'm not reading this

Any orgies planned?

>>10764070
Nahri will be handing out blowjobs in the bathrooms

For fuck's sake you people are fucking mental. Who gives a fuck about Covid? The cat's already out of the bag, so learn to deal it and live with it. By the time vaccines were available you dumbasses probably have had it by then, thus natural immunity. Anyone who willingly takes the vaccine after having natural immunity is a huge retard fuck bitch by this point.

I fucking swear you shitfuck Illinois people are the dumbest assfuck people in the fucking flyover Midwest. Fuck Illinois and fuck Chicago, and fuck the shitty retard dumb fuck people that live there.

How awful will badge pickup be Friday after work :/ can you even pick up badges at 7pm

>>10764027
Same. I can smell the NPC copium.

>t. Butthurt Illinois shitfucks

I knew you shitheads couldn't help yourselves, kek. Let me ask you this, before vaccine were invented how did people deal with that shit? It's the immune response. Yes, people died, and it's sad, but there's not much they could do before.

It only make sense to take the vaccine if you haven't been exposed to it prior. But you shit heads just can't wrap your dumb fuck retard heads around that by the time the vaccine was here there's already a high probability of contact with Covid already for most people that had to go outside and interact with other people (like essential workers), and then these people also have to go home and interact with people close to them, so on and forth, furthering the spread, unknowingly or not (despite their best efforts). Therefore taking the vaccine after all that time would just be as stupid as taking a placebo.

If any of you Illinois fucks reply to me you admit you're a fucking dumb NPC sheep who is Pritzker's personal cocksleeve bitch.

>>10764181
What Republican occupied shithole are you from to allow Illinois to live in your head rent free like this?

>>10764218
So you admit you're Pritzker's personal cocksleeve bitch? Kek.

And this somehow convinces me that you Illinois fucktards aren't dumbasses? Kek.

>Immediately assumes I'm right leaning or a Republican.

Complete retard Illinois liberal fuckhead strikes again with the typical response. I actually don't subscribe to the political dichotomy, I don't give a rat's ass shit about the left or right, both are equally stupid as fuck, like you.

Let's see...how should I use your kind's response for that...? Oh yeah,

>HOW FUCKING DARE YOU ASSUME MY POLITICAL ASSOCIATION YOU SHITLORD!

And people say liberals are tolerant and accepting? What a joke.

What I do have problem is retards like you who is incapable of sensible and logical thoughts, which sadly happens to be many stupid sycophantic bootlicking liberals who just blindly follows the dogma of your party or the MSM without any critical thought or analysis. Same with the right, but less so than you fucktard left lots.

And yes, I choose to shit on you Illinois fucktards because most you are like that, as indicated by the responses from this thread.

If you reply to me again you admit you are a total shitlord who can't stop eating feces from public toilets.

>>10764077
Which bathroom fucker there are like 30?

Ladies, ladies....you are all a bunch of whiny cunts. IDGAF if you are vaxxed or not, whether you wear a mask or not, just shut the literal fuck up in this thread about covid. We are here to get fucking wasted, buy Chinese bugman knockoff waifu statues, say gamer words in panel rooms and not get attacked by Reisen's penis or gun.

And shit governor that only sucks the people's money with money laundering? A shitty ineffective lesbian goldfish eyeballed basket-ball american mayor that can't get shit done and is only good for virtual signal? Introduction of weed and tax it in the state? Your disgusting fat ass deep dish pizza? Your shitty cops that doesn't do anything to help the citizens? Your fucking corrupt politicians with the Madigan family connections? How about the shitty redlight scandal? Teacher's Union being a literal extortion Mafia, same with the state's worker unions that steals from people with the high taxes? And state funded shit projects that goes nowhere and waste taxpayers' money? Our roads being completely fucked and no one fixes them for years on end? Are you so damn fucking deluded?

You're only making me laugh with your dumbassery.

If you reply to me again, you'll have a totally miserable time at ACen with dumb drama shit, and your cosplay will fail at the worst time possible, and you'll freebleed everywhere because you forgot your tampons, and your acnes will break out and your photoshoot will look absolutely horrible, and you'll be forced to go home early because you diarrhea'd all over the con floor or inside the hotel.

55 million Native peoples perished due to never-before-seen pathogens like smallpox, measles, and influenza.

1793 outbreak of yellow fever killed 5,000 people, or about one-tenth of Philadelphia's population

polio caused more than 15,000 cases of paralysis a year before the vaccine

I've been hearing that for 2 years, man.

Anyone who still wants a mandate has real problems with the fear of death and shouldn't even drive a car. The fact that there are millions of people in packed school hallways and sports arenas all over the world without masks just shows you how out of touch these mask people are.
