I could really use a downvote button right about now

[–][deleted] 12 insightful - 10 fun12 insightful - 9 fun13 insightful - 10 fun -  (0 children)

What for? Just stick a finger up your butt instead! Works great!

Then take the downboat back to Peddit, tosser.

The lack of downvote is probably one of the worse moves saidit has implemented versus reddit.

It lumps together bad comments with useless off-topic random sperg or just repeat comments. They're not the same.

[–][deleted] 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

The issue is, the same people propagating these absurdities would equally abuse the downvoting. Did the same on Voat, eventually drove everyone away. Block button is a godsend.

[–]Zahn 5 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

Since low effort people abuse down voting equating it to a disagree button. Not having the option compels the formerly low effort disagreeing party to defend their opinion instead. Not perfect, but better than contending with down vote brigades censoring things because they don't like the content.

[–]jamesK_3rd 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

What you said is 100% true.

But this isn't about refuting the content, it's about easily censoring content that they don't like.

Although I sometimes feel like I could use a downvote button too, I think it was worth it not to include it, as the option to downvote pushes people to smite people's wrongthink into oblivion instead of debate it. Sure, sometimes awfully unfunny political things end up in /s/funny, but I think that is a decent tradeoff.

I can think of one possible compromise though: Allow an "unfunny/boring" button that only appears in subs like this one geared towards entertainment more than discussion. It would be a bit awkward to implement in the Android client, but hopefully it would not be used very often anyway.

This could still have unintended consequences, though, so I would not want it implemented without much discussion. What if people still decide to use it for disagreement instead, for example?

[–]PatDaddysFShack 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I got your downvote right here.

...I don't get it

Covid-19 is an exercise in total domination. If you haven't figured out by now there's little hope for you left.

Too much truth. You gonna hurt feelz. ;-)

[–]knobby 6 insightful - 2 fun6 insightful - 1 fun7 insightful - 2 fun -  (6 children)

Wearing a mask that scary, bud?

[–]Zahn 6 insightful - 2 fun6 insightful - 1 fun7 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

No, but the amount of people who do wear a mask without so much as questioning anything is the scary part.

[–]knobby 5 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 0 fun6 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

What is there to question? I mean, it's obvious how it works, no?

[–]Zahn 4 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Meaning non n95 masks don't work? I studied what virologists had written previously about masks, and I have been saying it for months: Masks are not about inhibiting the spread of the boogeyman flu.

It causes infection. Now he wants us to wear goggles. Next, bubble suits.

[–]knobby 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

You worried it's gonna be too hot or something? Or that you won't be able to display your fantastic taste in style? Why are you afraid to wear a protective suit? It'll even help prevent common colds and the regular flue and shit. All I see are positives, besides how annoying it would be to put on.

it doesn't make any sense, so it's probably by some more morons that think covid is fake and won't wear masks outside.

It's amazing how everyone just sticks there finger in their ass.

wake up sheeple!! the government is gonna make you shove your finger up your asshole!,! >:(((((

[–]Zahn 5 insightful - 3 fun5 insightful - 2 fun6 insightful - 3 fun -  (11 children)

If Fauci said to stick your finger up your butt, you'd be the first in line to do it. Gullible and naive.

i wouldn't but ok lol

[–]Zahn 4 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 2 fun -  (9 children)

At least you have a line drawn in the sand. Others draw lines at different points. My line is that I refuse to participate in stupid activities.

[–][deleted] 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (8 children)

if by stupid activities you mean acknowledging the existence of a pandemic i think you need to relearn the definition of stupid

[–]Zahn 5 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 2 fun -  (7 children)

No, what I mean by stupid activities are gullible people who refuse to do their own research or even acknowledge the media's role in driving the public to unfounded hysterical behavior.

Go get the lube.

I did do my research. It's a virus based in the respiratory system, hence the masks. And masks are hardly a new invention. They've been commonly used in densely populated Asian urban centers to stem the spread of common cold and flu for decades.

Weigh your pros and cons. If the media is lying to you, the worst case scenario is that you wore a face mask in public for a few months. If you're wrong, the worst case scenario is that you get your loved ones sick and they die with a ventilator shoved down their throats because you're too unique and fashion conscious to wear a fucking mask for a few months. Is this really the hill you want the old people in your life to die on?

[–]Zahn 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

the worst case scenario is that you wore a face mask in public for a few months.

The worst scenario is that we as a people have demonstrated our willingness to blindly submit and allow the ruling class to deceive us into surrendering our rights over a comparatively harmless threat. If it was as bad as they agitate and terrorize people into thinking, they wouldn't have to attempt to force people to take precautions. Its a slippery slope, and nothing more than a psychological game when you look at the bigger picture. The patterns are there.

The elderly and immuno compromised should quarantine at home with an N95 mask. The cracks in the narrative are deepening. You heard it hear first. Explain your objections:

Non N-95 masks don't work:

Non N-95 masks don't work:

Even the Surgeon General told you this in February, Non-95 masks don't work:

....So...why do they want you to wear a mask?

The worst scenario is that we as a people have demonstrated our willingness to blindly submit and allow the ruling class to deceive us into surrendering our liberties over a comparatively harmless threat

Nah, Americans have already fully demonstrated how easily they're manipulated in a number of other ways, from the way you're all extremely obese due to sugar overconsumption to your absurd military worship and willingness to send your children to die in the name of special interest. You've got nothing to lose in that department, trust me.

Non N-95 masks don't work

... get N95 masks?

Even the Surgeon General

That was back in February, when healthcare workers were facing a mask shortage due to the large number of people buying them. He has since said they do:

[–]Zahn 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

You are right about that. My only take would be that the loss of rights is unparalleled, and establishes a dangerous precedent.

Yes, the Surgeon General retracted his previous statement. When an official source of repute is apparently only right 50% of the time, and you have to guess which 50, then it leads to an overall loss of credibility anyway.

The CDC even concluded previously that masks were ineffective:

All these increasingly glaring incongruencies just leads to a great deal of speculation. Since with the astronomical amount of noise associated with this topic in general. It's difficult to delineate what is closer to the truth.

i did do my research tho. i know that i'm less likely to have any severe side effects from getting the virus, so i wear a mask in public just in case and so i can help prevent spreading it more. that's not hysterical behavior.

but i do agree that the media blew some things out of proportion, such as the severity of the virus on people that aren't elderly or have health issues. some people genuinely think they'll die instantly from contracting the virus, even if they're way less likely to. however, a lot of the hysteria that happened wasn't even necessary and was people overreacting. there were people hoarding hand sanitizer and fighting over toilet paper. neither of those things were necessary to help prevent the virus from spreading further and the media never said to do either of those.

Imagine being stupid enough to think that this is somehow an intelligent commentary, and also mad enough about a minor inconvenience that you felt the need to make this. Oh, but then you'd be too stupid to appreciate your own stupidity and probably reply calling me a cuck or a sheep or say that I would finger my ass if the government told me to.

Because you're stupid. Incredibly stupid. You probably have an ironically bright future in politics, or at least the media.

Ah, liberals, no sense of humor and no brain.

I'm not a liberal, lmao.

It's okay sweaty, I know you're too stupid to have any good retorts.

    [–]happysmash27 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

    I will happily wear a mask (as I was doing so waaayyy before the government told anyone to do so, back when most people thought it was overkill, starting around January 27th), but the advice told in this comic is pretty dumb, so I would not listen to it unless it had some very good justification.

    Way to reduce my estimation of Saidit's IQ.

    They're smarter than you, that's for certain.

    [–]Leo_Littlebook 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

    Your certainty is incorrect, as my IQ exceeds that of all but a tiny proportion of the population. But I suspect you are accustomed to being wrong.

    [–]christnmusicreleases[S] 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

    Your IQ probably doesn't exceed your waist size.

    Wrong again, I've never had so much as a paunch. I tire of your feeble nonsense.

    [–]christnmusicreleases[S] 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

    I bet your IQ is barely even 100.
