Don't confuse skeptics and deniers. Deniers aren't that bright and are the ones still trying to make arguments of things they don't really understand, based largely on soundbites from articles they haven't read. Skeptics are now by and large convinced.

If you’re gonna invoke the name of one of the prime MAGA boogeymen, you should at least learn how to spell it.

Do not post ANY propaganda (videos, links, memes, text) without commentary. This is a discussion board, not a social media dissemination site.

I actually think that's pretty cool that you can do that. Congratulations.

If he’s nothing but a ‘melted wax phallus’ how can he be the threat you make him out to be? Im assuming you’re just baiting with misspelling ’easy’, but maybe that’s just who we’re dealing with here.

It is not about EV's; It is about Tesla vs unions.

Hi Seth, They will win the battle; they will lose the war. IMO EV's are here to stay; until we figure out some other way of getting ourselves around. The Luddites destroyed the weaving machines; the factory owners just bought new ones. Sort of like being a farrier in Detroit in 1910. One can try all they want, but they will not stop progress.

Over 1000 school age kids died in the US due to COVID. They were absolutely at risk - and we are fortunate there were not far more deaths due to shutdowns, masking and eventually vaccines. An even bigger risk was that kids would get sick and take the disease home to their parents and grandparents, which WERE the biggest risk group. Ah! Someone else who doesn't understand the difference between a comparison and an equivalency. It is, however, a good comparison. The polio pandemic killed about 6600 people, most of whom were under 5. School age kids represented 2000 of those deaths. Fairly close to COVID school age numbers'

You could try a self-burble technique. Bring your hands to the center of your chest a few inches off of it. Join the hands in a fist, or clasped together in a kind of praying position. This will increase your fall rate without driving you forward. It will reduce your stability, so you'll have to be ready for and compensate for that.

How does your brain work?

Sweden doesn't require them, but vaccinations are both free and optional (but recommended). Without as many people who have decoupled science from life (i.e. they remember that the reason these diseases aren't around any more isn't that we got lucky, it's that we got vaccinated). I don't know if they're required in the UK, but they're certainly recommended. Remember polio? Probably not, but it was greatly feared. As was smallpox, and plenty of others. Consider that right now Rwanda is having a huge crisis with cholera. We don't require cholera vaccines, because, well, it's not likely here in the US. But we're so very mobile that the possibility of being exposed is way higher than in some other countries. We tie school attendance to vaccination. Why? Well, because schoolrooms are little incubation chambers; all that exposure to and with people who don't pay a whole lot of attention to hygiene. And they're not required; if you home school your kids, you don't have to vaccinate them. Remember -- freedom isn't free, and all that. Wendy P.

I’m blocking Slim King. If you’ll block him as well give this post a like.
