Attention Solo Skiers!

skiindianaDude again, I literally just want to talk about facts rather than having people go 'I get tested everyday' and everyone clapping like that makes any reasonable sense.

I just want to go back to normal, but instead people like you are making us all pretend getting on a chairlift with strangers is more dangerous than driving 80 mph down I70.

And I get called stupid multiple times for even suggesting that at some point, this has to stop.

eheathdude it must be tough being you, your life sounds so hard man, vibes

skiindianaYeah for me it's not that bad, because I'm a tech worker. I have friends though who have lost literally everything because the government decided their business shouldn't be running - for a whole fucking year.

I have friends who are poor, because I grew up without money, and they are so incredible fucked. Their kids are learning nothing. Their spouse cannot work. It's so fucked up.

So yeah, I really truly believe vehemently, that you people need to recognize some BASIC FACTS about the world around you.

The behavior, and extreme hyper-focus, on a single thing, for a whole fucking year, is KILLING PEOPLE. It is keeping us from getting back to a state of normalcy. It is driven by fear, and it is not rational.

If it were rational, you won't drive anywhere, and you would get tested for cancer every year, but you don't.

eheathI never argued with you, I just said you were an idiot, you're just wasting so much of your own time writing out the same bullshit, i dont fucking care dude.

skiindianaClearly you care enough to constantly call me stupid but not reply to a single thing that I said.

You're a god damn child when it comes to talking about this. You literally are unable to even respond to something that doesn't match your existing beliefs. You're a HUGE part of the problem.

eheathI am part of no problem dude, idk who you think I am, but I literally just fuck with you because you're a dumbass, its too easy.

skiindianaWhatever you say.

If you're not part of the problem, then you must agree that getting on a chairlift is lower risk than getting in a car right?

eheathLike I said, I never argued with you and I never said anything, are you seriously that stupid that you get me mixed up with other people in the thread? Learn to fucking read.

skiindianaWhat is this even supposed to mean? You're literally following me around calling me stupid for saying these things, and then saying 'oh well I never argued against them'.

This is just you being a troll. You have some beliefs but refuse to defend them. That's also called being a bitch

eheathStop posting.

skiindianaStop shutting down conversations that are unpopular but are focused on trying to get skiing back to normal.

Everyone on this site has turned into a bunch of bitches. It's basically /r/skiing level of love for anything COVID.

eheathMaybe you should stop using NS? I can arrange that for you if you'd like.

r00kieYou guys realize that if you don't talk to him he shuts up right?

skiindianaDude if you want to ban me for saying outdoor transmission is extremely unlikely and responding to you when YOU call me stupid, then go for it.

eheathI think you could say the same thing to skiindiana about me ahahaha

r00kieYou guys realize that if you don't talk to him he shuts up right?

r00kieYeah but we generally like you

skiindianaThis literally has nothing to do with what I'm saying.

eheathway to side with a troll who literally spits garbage rhetoic in every thread about covid, nice dude!

-olivesthanks! not like were all living through the same thing and can have a difference of opinions. but whatever... i always appreciate the sarcasm babe

eheathYou just need to be careful about who you back, nobody respect skiindiana, he spits garbage and deletes his posts (when he could) and changed his names multiple times because he was saying such garbage bullshit.

You are entitled to your opinion and we might actually agree on some stuff, you just need to be careful with whom you associate with.

skiindianaDude what kind of psydo-threat is this? Completely inappropriate.

This is you clearly showing that you think you can be a arbiter on what is the correct type of 'thought' and what is 'garbage'.

Thanks for showing your true colors.

eheathLOL dude you changed your name and deleted your posts! who's really in the wrong here? You have absolutely no right to tell me what im doing is wrong or right, nothing you say is valid, you are one of the worst members on this site and tbf you don't deserve to use NS but I'm not about pushing ppl away from NS.

lapinnopeinoh you wanna talk facts? here you go: we won't be 'back to normal' if we keep making every excuse in the book not to use masks or follow covid restrictions. ppl in this thread just want to stay safe while still enjoying skiing and here you go talking shit.

skiindianaCool bro, direct that fucking nonsense at someone else because I literally follow every single restriction where I live - other than the stupid as fuck outdoor mask mandate.

If you think waiting until COVID is gone to do anything normal is anywhere near sensible, then we're going to have a hard time agreeing. We MUST learn to live with risk. It is just part of life. Acting like you're going to get sick and die or kill someone all the time is both illogical and mentally unhealthy.


ANNNND the evidence seems to indicate screaming at people to follow restrictions doesn't work. We have many states with many different responses and EXTREMELY similar outcomes. So IDK.

lapinnopeincool bro, once again, this was a thread about how the season has been so far and what people have been doing because of covid. not about telling everyone that their worry over covid is the same as getting cancer.

you guys in the united states seem to live with the risk just fine. refusing to use masks and stuff.

i see no point in responding to you any further

Rparrspening 10 months and 90 pages of a thread arguing about covid could be considered psychosis as well. get a life jesus fucking christ dude

skiindianaI'm not looking for respect. I'm looking for people to recognize how a lot of this stuff doesn't make sense.

Worrying so much about COVID that you get tested constantly, yet still driving 120 miles to go skiing with people, shows a very clear lack of logical consistency.

Most people on this site are more at risk from driving in a single year than from COVID. If a few people would just recognize this, it would make me feel a lot better.

The majority of us are going to die of heart disease are cancer. The person I replied to is worried about getting COVID, not just transmitting it. But do they go get cancer screenings all the time? Checks on their hearth health? Probably not.

Honestly, if you want to get tested all the time, no skin off my back. But those same people are forcing other people to follow their insane fear.

skiindianaClearly you care enough to constantly call me stupid but not reply to a single thing that I said.

LonelyIsn't following restrictions a form of psychosis?

skiindianaYeah, and you guys need to stop clapping at whatever nonsense people say.

Seriously I do not understand what you guys are thinking. This stuff has to end. The constant clapping at people exhibiting extremely illogical fear has to stop. You people all behaving like 40 year hold Karens has to stop.

You people are ruining skiing this year and you're all proud of it.

skiindianaIf you want to argue completely disingenuously then go for it.

LonelyWearing your seatbelt is a form of psychosis. Sooooooo many people drive every day and only a small portion of those people die. Wearing a seatbelt to mitigate risk is exactly what's wrong with this country. It's just a fact. You are more likely to die of heart disease than driving without your seatbelt. People who wear seatbelts have fallen for the fear-mongering and are sheep.

Imagine implying someone has psychosis, because they got a covid test, when you, unprompted, respond to someone getting a covid response with 30 comments about how terrible of a thing that is.

LonelyAh yes, the website newschoolers.com is singlehandedly responsible for every regulation and shut down that has occurred. Skiing was definitely ruined for me this year. Now instead of being able to ski the exact same way I have for the past 4 years I have lived here I can now only ski the exact same way I did for the past 4 years, but I can't eat overpriced french fries anymore. 1984!1984!1984!

skiindianaBy the logic you're saying here, any action to reduce risk is sensible simply because it might reduce risk. So you should also drive around with a helmet, just in case. And you should always get tested for cancer, just in case. And you should always get tested for STDs before having sex with condom, you know, just in case.

Yes, thinking you and everyone around you is sick all the time and is going to either cause you to kill someone or kill you, is completely fucking insane.

LonelySkindianna has the most fucked up dialogue tree ever.


"I got tested before I traveled and skied with a friend"

>Option 1: Say nothing, a person got a free test just to be safe
>Option 2: Ruin the thread by ranting about how everyone are sheep and how trying to mitigate the deadliest pandemic in 100 years is a form of psychosis, act like a victim, and then change your name and delete all of your posts a month later.
