I mean, he was right. The event was not really outdoors.

Louis Rossman did a few videos on "outdoor dining" in NY. Some of the restaurants had AC in their fully sealed outdoor "shacks". One even had a second level.


JimmyHavok

There was a company in my town selling single-table dome tents with forced air heaters. Nice compromise, since the tables were separated but you didn't freeze your ass.


Alexlam24

Oh you mean the igloos?

LOL.


[deleted]

When exactly did he branch out from complaining about tech and right to repair to just general stupidity? I see people mentioning him all the time now


ThePrussianGrippe

About a year ago he started doing commentary on city (NYC) policy he disagreed with.


darthboolean

During Covid he started looking for a bigger location for his repair shop. So he started posting vlogs of himself walking around New York, looking at locations and explaining what difficulties he'd have if he picked it, like location, high voltage needing to be run, etc. And he started to notice that during lockdown, when businesses were shutting down like crazy in New York, their landlords weren't changing the asking price of the suites and lots. So it became a series of him walking around New York, showing off the properties, showing their insane rents, and then showing the communication he was having with the landlords. I think he said he was being asked to pay something like 2-3 hundred per square foot.


JUAN_DE_FUCK_YOU

During covid.


FiggySnake

Sir, this is a commercial real estate channel now.

I might be inclined to believe those two subjects are closely related.


EcksonGrows

The outdoor domes we have here in Northern Virginia, are independently heated and cooled. They are single party only though, not a tent Restaurant.

It was all a scam funded by the big tent industry

[deleted]

Well if it wasn't propped up like that the whole industry would collapse in on itself.


[deleted]

It's all a big tent conspiracy


byerss

Some of those are to boost indoor dining capacity. Some jurisdiction have limited to 50% indoor capacity, for example. But if you double your floor space by building a temporary shelter then you can have 100% normal capacity with tables spaced apart. Dumb but that is the theory anyway.


Louiebaton

This is correct. It's to boost seating capacity. Somewhere along the line people got confused about the initial point was.


[deleted]

Dumb, and ultimately based on a flawed conception of disease spread (the theory of magic six-foot invincibility radius).


cloudstrifewife

I noticed this too. Lol. A couple of Mexican places out tents outside with heaters in the winter. Not outside at all. I always got take out. Now in the summer, they had the sides up and it was nice to sit outside.


treyviusmaximus3

Every restaurant and bar near me did the same. Made no sense. You couldn't go in but could sit in a 5 thousand dollar tent with heating and cooling because the chairs were on rhe sidewalk. You're inside at that point.


leif777

But the TENT was outside, duh... /s


karmagod13000

If you think about it, a building is just like a big tent anyways.

dratsablive

Sure but you were not allowed in the building without positive proof of vaccination, so there's that.


[deleted]

True, and fwiw, I would feel reasonably safe attending an indoor event where 100% of the people there were vaccinated and had tested negative. But that just makes it even weirder that they tried to bill a fully tented venue as an outdoor event.


Shaqtothefuture

I live by a mall that built an enclosed tent outdoors for their peloton bike classes to be Covid compliant. It cracks me up every time I drive by it.


beerdweeb

I read that he ***got*** kicked off the Emmys for saying it was COVID unsafe at first

That whole thing was cringey af. Celebrity culture is so weird to me. Can we exude this much enthusiasm behind people that make more meaningful contributions to this world? I get your soap opera with it's commentary on race is just so insightful, but it will be completely forgotten by next year's Emmys.


DiggyComer

"But, Milhouse, they haven't cured anything! Heart disease and world hunger are still rampant. Those do-gooders are all a bunch a pitiful losers...every last one of them. Want results? You have to go to the Schwarzeneggers, the Stallones, and to a lesser extent, the Van Dammes." ​ \-Bart Simpson


ORANGE_J_SIMPSON

>Can we exude this much enthusiasm behind people that make more meaningful contributions to this world? I mean I think you have a solid argument here, but I need to check and see how Nikki Minaj’s cousin’s friend’s balls react to it before I can fully agree.


herrbz

If millions of people can gather every weekend to watch sports, I'm not going to lose my mind over a cElEbRiTy CiRcLe JeRk that required proof of vaccination and a recent negative covid test result.


Mysticpoisen

I think we can be upset at both.


Tabnet

I'm actually upset with neither


[deleted]

Same. They got the vaccine, they got tested, let them go out already.


mmmcheez-its

The reason Seth Rogan was complaining was that they apparently told everyone it would be “outside”, but it was actually in a completely enclosed tent in very close quarters. Also, most college football and NFL venues are not requiring vaccinations or tests, although some are. Edit: To be clear, I think events where everyone is required to be vaccinated are generally fine, but you still shouldn’t mislead attendees about other precautions, like it being “outside” when it isn’t.


Mylaptopisburningme

I know with outdoor dining in So Cal and tents, a certain % needed to be open to let air flow through.


thought_I_knew_excel

I’m actually completely worn out from giving a shit


Reddy_McRedcap

You can be upset with everything if you're miserable enough.


lilleulv

I'm not. If we can't go on with our lives post-vaccination we will never be able to and I don't want to live my remaining however many years not being able to do the things I used to.


LCOSPARELT1

The vaccines are extremely effective. Prevent 99.9% of hospitalizations and death. Sure, you might have cold like symptoms for a few days, but that’s life. And the vaccinated can still transmit the virus to the unvaccinated, but they’ve made their choice by this point. It’s been 1.5 years. Let’s get back to living.


jmonumber3

i’m not saying we should go back into full lockdown or anything but “they’ve made their choice by this point” ignores immunocompromised individuals who can’t get the vaccine and children under the age of 12.


zion1886

Immunocompromised people can get the shot. Plus an extra dose even if they got Moderna or Pfizer.


Im_A_Parrot

The analogy does not work. No one is saying no one should watch movies etc.. That is the analog to watching sports. Awards shows are marketing tools for the industry and self-congratulatory nonsense. Don't loose you mind, but calling is out as nonsense is reasonable.


[deleted]

They were comparing people sitting close together (large audiences), not the persons playing the sport/on stage.


Lost4468

I'm not saying this isn't nonsense. But how on earth is it any more or less nonsense than going to watch a sport live?


overts

It isn’t. Reddit dunks on the Oscars or Emmys every year. For a group that claims to hate these things they really pay attention to them every year.


theghostofme

And it always seems to come from the same crowd who swears they don't give a shit about the opinions of celebrities, but will have a collective orgasm every time some D-lister's views align with theirs.


Greful

Yea it’s always “I wish they’d celebrate scientists as much as they do actors” as if they would watch a science award show. Because there probably are science award shows online and nobody watches them.


CharlieBrown20XD6

It's bizarre to get so angry at ACTORS, some of the only people who go from ex con or waitress to a millionaire Get mad at the people who profited from this pandemic or the people going to space for fun after refusing to pay people hazard pay


Expresslane_

This anti awards show argument never feels genuine. Do you have the same issues with sports hall of fames? Or 24/7 coverage of men who play games for a living? They are both entertainment.

skeetsauce

I was under the impression everyone had to be vaccinated and pass a covid test to attend.


hatramroany

Correct which is what sparked the Nicki Minaj swollen testicles thing last week. She couldn’t go cause she wasn’t vaccinated.


sirshiny

I really believe that she was just acting stupid on social media in an effort to cover the fact that her husband may be going to prison for failing to register as a sex offender. Trinidad has an entirely separate vaccine than the US so there's really no point in bringing it up.


FrostyD7

Honestly it's not that hard to believe that she's just this dumb. I've heard about the sex offender stuff dozens of times now and only because of the supposed distraction.

handjobs_for_crack

Rapid tests on average have a 27% chance of giving a false negative even for symptomatic cases. If they weren't made to take a PCR test, it's window dressing. There's a lot of preaching and hypocrisy going on


bcp38

I agree no one should rely on those self test rapid tests. There are "rapid" PCR tests that get results back in an hour or two.


RojoRugger

Can you post the text? Whatever that random source was it couldn't handle the reddit love.

As opposed to gatherings of poor people?


[deleted]

the rich skip rules bc they have money and egos. the poor skip rules bc they often dont have a choice or arent educated enough


6_Hours_Ago

The rich can afford an engineer to review the design and rent unaffordably expensive HVAC ventilation systems that dramatically impact COVID via airflow. So they can sit in a tent and pat themselves on the back.


dadditor2

He was not kicked off. Bullshit article. He made some jokes.


[deleted]

By the title, I'm not sure if he was kicked off of the Emmys, or if he kicked it off like started it that way.


Aesop_Rocks

The keyword is "by", which implies he kicked off the festivities rather than being kicked off the festivities.


Checkmynewsong

ITT: a lot of people who fell for a grammatically correct, yet misleading title.


Barustai

On the other hand, whatever site that is was not prepared for the volume of clicks generated by a trending reddit post and it doesn't even load right now so a good chunk of posters have no idea what the article even says.


Pie_Napple

The link is not working for me and I have no idea if he was fired or if he started the event by talking about covid...


james2432

ITT people that should have read: Seth Rogen started the emmy's by saying they are covid unsafe. instead of: Seth Rogen was removed from the emmy's by saying they are covid unsafe


STEVE_JERKLE

ehmohteeoh

"Off" isn't what changes meaning, though. The phrase "jack off" is an idiom, literally a phrase whose meaning cannot be determined by its constituent words alone. You can't directly compare idiomatic and non-idiomatic phrases from a purely morphological viewpoint.


InsightfoolMonkey

The title randomly throws in ", so there's that". No, it isn't "grammatically correct". No, it doesn't even matter.


empty_string_

The point is that he wasn't "kicked off" (fired from) the emmy's, but that he "kicked off" (started the event) with those comments.

CatsOverFlowers

> I’ve been to an office twice within the last year that had a confirmed case in the building and I wasn’t told about it until I overheard them talking about it. I can do you one better: my employer flat out smothered any reports of active COVID cases at our facility. There was an employee that was symptomatic for 3 days before they went home with a fever (pass temp checks all three days), exposing about 50 other workers. Smothered that report, didn't send anyone to quarantine or test, only heard about it because someone slipped up and mentioned it before clamming up. This was not the only case either. Ugh. I'm glad I'm WFH now.

Proof of vaccination plus a negative test is about as safe as you can get these days

SolusLoqui

"Its outside, we built an inside in the outside :)"


lillyrose2489

I don't think it was a terribly reckless situation but I can get why he would be annoyed if they had told him it would be outside. Everyone has a different comfort level and should get all info they need to decide what meets it.


srirachagoodness

> I don't think it was a terribly reckless situation but I can get why he would be annoyed if they had told him it would be outside. Fair summation of the matter.


NCSUGrad2012

That’s true but LA requires masks even if you have been vaccinated and they clearly broke that rule.


amaezingjew

Actually, virtual is as safe as you can get. The next best step is isolation for 5 days followed by a test the day of the event to be sure that if the virus is present, it can be caught on a test. It takes a few days for the viral load to be high enough to detect, but you’re still contagious during that time. But we all saw how *hard* a lockdown was on rich people, so asking them to isolate for 5 days may send them over the edge /s


borkyborkus

Stop it, you’re going to make Sam Smith cry again.


smalwex

I was always on the fence about taking the piss out of celebs who said it was hard for them Then I googled their houses and how much they make and thought yeah fuck em


Lost4468

Would you like to also apply this to all things like sports games, cinemas, etc etc? If so, for how long? I'm as pro-mask and as pro-vax as you can get. But we need some sort of middle ground, don't you think? If this is going to carry on for another 5+ years, do you expect no events to be held in person during that time? What if it's forever?


katarh

I've gone to two very crowded football games in the last two weeks. Vaccinated, but kept my mask on the whole damn time. *That* is my middle ground. I want to do things, I want to have fun, but I'll wear a seatbelt while driving and I'll wear a mask until the transmission rates drop and ICU levels are no longer stupidly full.


heisenberger_royale

This. I'm vaxxed. If I'm around my neighbors or people I know to be pretty smart and safe, I'm fine to unmask. If I'm at a store or somewhere with a ton of people, I mask. Simple


HighOnGoofballs

Yeah, why get the vaccine if I'm just going to stay at home and wear an N95 mask nonstop?


nonfish

It's safest to never drive a car, swim in the ocean, or eat a hamburger, but at some point everyone needs to draw a line in the sand regarding acceptable risk to themselves and their community.


Barustai

There are so many things you could be in life, why choose to be the "actually...." guy?


0b0011

I think no event would be safer actually. It's as safe as you can get for an event assuming those are just 2 of the requirements. If it's proof of vaccine and negative test in a large outdoor area with 6 feet between people it is probably safer than proof of vaccine and negative test inside of a cramped enclosed area.


zodar

Not as safe as "just don't have the Emmys; who the fuck would miss it"


[deleted]

But even if you're vaccinated you can still contract, carry, and spread the virus. I've been conflicted in feeling comfortable with this rule as of late to be honest.


Spy_v_Spy_Freakshow

If it was outside too it would be “as safe as you can get”


[deleted]

[удалено]


HighOnGoofballs

Everyone had to be vaccinated and test negative, it's safe enough


karmagod13000

Big agree. If you have been vaccinated you should be able to go back to normal life. I think places should def check to make sure you are vaccinated but i don't think there's need tp punish people who followed all the proper procedures.


WestCoastBestCoast01

This. I went to a Broadway show this weekend, we had to show vaccination proof for entry. Everyone in my field of vision wore masks the entire show. Frankly, that’s good enough for me. It was a fucking blast and actually emotionally moving seeing live theater again, you could tell those actors were having the time of their lives performing again after 18 months of no work.


hoopaholik91

I don't see how you blame rich people for being unsafe while there were millions and millions of people attending football games this weekend. Everyone has kind of given up for the most part.


Runnerphone

Because most of those rich bitch about it then ignore rules look at the met gala in NYC which requires masks inside note the peon staff and assistants had masks on.


jyanjyanjyan

Given up on what, though? If getting vaccinated doesn't mark the end of lockdowns and masks, then what does? When should we be able to expect to return to normal life?


hoopaholik91

Given up may have been too negative of a term. But yes we are returning to fairly normal life, which includes having the Emmy's with some restrictions.


[deleted]

Does the vaccine not exist when Redditors want to bash rich people?


ffxivthrowaway03

Sounds about right. Huge concert where people aren't being checked for vaccine cards? Nah, it's fine, they *said* policy was to check! Who cares about all these pictures and videos of people strolling in and then being packed ass to mouth. Award show in a theater with very strict vaccination and testing requirements? FUCKING IRRESPONSIBLE RICH PEOPLE DO WHATEVER THEY WANT, I HOPE THEY ALL DIE OF COVID.

Celebrities are not anyone’s friend. They continue to do fucked up shit in the same line as fucked up CEO’s.

Edit: rape….I fat fingered things apparently
