We are only 3 months away from getting past this...

[LV426]

The truth is I often do things for others

No you don't. Stop lying.

I know you're projecting because you only do stuff for yourself

No, you have us mixed up. You're the rugged individualist here who is lying about doing things for other people's benefit, when it's just you doing things for your own benefit and trying to convince everyone that it's for them.

I will vaccinate to curb the fears of others, I have in the past, I will again in the future.

You and I both know you're just saying this because the truth is you don't want a ventilator shoved down your throat any more than I do.

[LV426]

I'm sorry you are so afraid.

Your biggest fear is having a tube shoved down your throat, and everyone on JPP laughing at you for it.

[LV426]

No. Really. I am taking it because it is available and by taking it I can curb the fears of others. We simply need enough folks to take it for herd immunity to effectively curb the fear enough so that we can remove restrictions and restore constitutional rights. I'll make sure I do my part so that you don't have to be afraid of tubes.

You're more afraid of COVID tubes than you are of me, and that's why you're getting the vaccine.

[Damocles]

You don't do anything for anyone, so I don't believe you that you'd get a vaccine for my benefit.

I do believe you would get one for your benefit, though.

I don't care what you believe. You asked me questions, I answered the questions. You disliked my answers, you made it clear you cannot even comprehend that kind of purpose in life. I feel sorry for you, but I am not changing what I have said, my motivations and reasons, and won't. So believe as you will, you know nothing about me and so far have a strong MO of simply lying about me anyway and then projecting your own motives onto me. I am not as mercenary as you, and I am still sorry that you are afraid.

Bingo. He knows ppl are itching (or should I more accurately say "dying"?) to get out and mingle and socialize like none of this ever happened. If he can grant them that, despite the fact that it's stupid at this time, maybe they'll forget how he screwed them over during the recent winter outbreak.

What could he have done during the freeze?

[Damocles]

You're more afraid of COVID tubes than you are of me, and that's why you're getting the vaccine.

I have never said I was afraid of you. You are making no sense at all. You flail again, targetless and ineffective.

[LV426]

Again you cannot know if we ever will.

Yes I do. I know for a fact you and I will never meet. So the excuse you gave earlier is total horseshit that you concocted just to be patronizing on someone else's thread.

Then, when you realized that, you changed the parameters of what you meant to include "people like me".

Typical goalpost shift there, and the only reason you shifted those goalposts was because you don't want to admit the reason you're getting the vaccine is because you're just as scared of COVID as I am.

Shoot it's possible I've seen every person on this site at one time or another because I have been in all the states

I don't believe you. And don't think I didn't notice you slide into unverifiable anecdote land...that's a crutch you people use to lend yourselves credibility you don't otherwise have.

So, I don't believe what you're saying here. I don't think you've gone anywhere. I think it's all bullshit.

Anyway. I am not lying.

LMAO!

So I should just take your word for it?

Why?

Why should I give you the benefit of the doubt when you've been nothing but patronizing and arrogant?

[LV426]

I don't understand why you are incapable of empathy

Do you know what empathy means?

he only reason you would take it would be because of fear.

That's why anyone takes any vaccine.

I don't fear much, but I do care about others.

I disagree.

I think you're one of the most fearful people on all of JPP.

Your fear is that people will find out what a fraud you are, and that the persona you created for yourself on JPP is just a load of horseshit.

It's the parts of yourself you want people to see, while obscuring all the shitty parts of yourself that you don't, including your fears.

If you were just honest, none of this would be an issue...but you just can't be honest with me.

What a shame that you lack that self-control.

[Damocles]

Well, you spent all this time downplaying it, only to die of it and not be around to defend yourself. That's pretty embarrassing.

I think that is the only thing you care about.

Link me up. You make the claim, you prove it.

Because you spent all this time being an asshole about it.

If you died of it, your legacy would be trashed here.

I will have no "legacy" here.

So that's why you're getting the vaccine.

No, it is why you are and you project your motives onto me because you have no ability to empathize with others.

You lashed out when you passive-aggressively tried to say I was the reason you got a vaccine, and not to avoid getting COVID yourself, after maintaining for 12 months that COVID is not serious and is a hoax.

You tried to insult me by patronizing me, but the problem is your patronizing is bullshit because you and I will never meet. You realized that and then were like, "oh, well, then I'll get it for all the people like you".

LOL dude...no.

You're getting the vaccine because you don't want a ventilator shoved down your throat any more than I do.

I didn't lash out. I told you why I would get the vaccine. And you still just project your own motives onto me and do not even attempt at empathy.

[Damocles]

Anyway. Making more angry posts about my motives rather than trying to comprehend what was said will not help you any further. I'll let you have a zillion last words.

And I am still glad that getting the vaccine will make you (and folks like you) less afraid to participate in life, and especially that it will lessen your apparently crippling fear of "Covid Tubes" (that's what you called them, right?)

Have fun.

[LV426]

So, that was your strawman?

I didn't create a straw man. But you did.

You thought it was a personal you and not a more inclusive plural you?

It wasn't the plural "you", and now you're lying about what you said earlier.

Why can't you just say what you mean the first time?

You do it for your reason and I will do it for mine.

My problem is that I don't buy the reason you're giving.

But if you are so insecure that you have to posture the reason why you're getting a vaccine, fine. I really don't care how you justify it to yourself, so long as you get it.

[LV426]

I don't care what you believe. You asked me questions, I answered the questions. You disliked my answers, you made it clear you cannot even comprehend that kind of purpose in life. I feel sorry for you, but I am not changing what I have said, my motivations and reasons, and won't. So believe as you will, you know nothing about me and so far have a strong MO of simply lying about me anyway and then projecting your own motives onto me. I am not as mercenary as you, and I am still sorry that you are afraid.

I always love this attempt to pretend post-hoc that you don't care about what I think of your given circumstances and personal history after spending all this time, attention, energy, and focus trying to convince me on my thread.

If you don't care that I believe you, then why are you trying so hard to convince me of your sincerity?

[LV426]

I have never said I was afraid of you. You are making no sense at all. You flail again, targetless and ineffective.

You didn't need to say it...your disingenuous reason for getting the vaccine is enough.

[LV426]

Link me up. You make the claim, you prove it.

You have been downplaying COVID on this thread.

[LV426]

I will have no "legacy" here..

Yeah you will, because I'll make sure of it.

You don't want to run that risk, do you? So you're getting the vaccine out of fear that someone will trash you on your own board, and you won't be around to defend yourself.

I told you why I would get the vaccine.

Yeah, and I don't buy it.

I think you're insincere.

. And you still just project your own motives onto me and do not even attempt at empathy.

What motives? Articulate them. If you can...
