  1. 1. Skydekker already effectively made the video look dumb. 2. You have a consistent record of posting lies and disinformation while pretending to be smart - at this point, it's pure masochism to click on anything.
  2. ANYONE who supports trump cannot properly call themselves a christian. There has never been anyone who embodies the 7 deadly sins in one man as unashamedly and completely as he does.
  3. Meanwhile, 80,000 mine workers WANT Joe Biden to pass BBB.

    covid-19

    Yeah agreed - I'd love to know how that works. Generally the thing about evolution/ natural selection is that the phenotype that thrives is the mutation that beats whatever is in place. From what I can read from that article is that this gives the ability to vaccinate, in one go, against up to 24 possible variants, or variant "families". Without going into the research (and really, I should still be working) - doesn't this just mean that its the 25th variant that will get us next?
  5. This was probably the biggest thing as a child that brought me to the conclusion that it was all bs. The fact that there were different groups of people with opposing viewpoints, all equally convinced that theirs was the "one true way". The only reasonable conclusion is that they are all wrong.
  6. Says the guy acting like the quintessential snowflake.
  7. Me too, however the system is broken for them to be able to accumulate that much wealth, where nurses and teachers who work just as hard, struggle even to get by. There's this perception that these guys have worked hard and earnt those billions, which really just demonstrates how little people really understand what a billion is. To those people it's really just a number - they are so far past the point of being able to afford literally anything that it's insane, and generally they are inflating that number at the expense of the minimum wage folks at the bottom - particularly bezos.
  8. I get what you're saying, but its private as opposed to corporate. "Consumer" would probably be a better description.
  9. So meadows was using private gmail, signal and a personal cellphone for official business and for comms on Jan 6. "But her emails....."
  10. For the same reason that burning down a christmas tree is an attack on the fabric of the country and democracy, but storming the seat of power under the urging of the outgoing president to try and usurp an election on Jan 6 is no big deal.

    covid-19

    In this case the dead cat is Omicron, and the thing he wants to distract from is the passing of sweeping anti protest laws (amongst other things). From Wikipedia: Boris Johnson employed Crosby as his campaign manager during the 2008 and 2012 London mayoral elections, and wrote of his advice that "There is one thing that is absolutely certain about throwing a dead cat on the dining room table – and I don’t mean that people will be outraged, alarmed, disgusted. That is true, but irrelevant. The key point, says my Australian friend, is that everyone will shout, ‘Jeez, mate, there’s a dead cat on the table!’ In other words, they will be talking about the dead cat – the thing you want them to talk about – and they will not be talking about the issue that has been causing you so much grief."[

    For context, Boris is also doing this to distract from a bunch of other shitty things that he's responsible for. He's well known for the dead cat technique.

    Yet that's exactly what you have just done. Even if that's true (which I doubt), the chance of any unvaccinated person dying of covid is orders of magnitude higher than the chance of them having an adverse affect from the vaccine.

    Aside from anything else, you cannot compare the two. There are very specific reasons why HIV is extremely hard to create a vaccine for. Covid is (comparatively) easy.
  15. The album was released 82 so that fits!
  16. And came across this one. Thought you guys might get a kick out of the album cover. Edit: sorry about the orientation, thought I'd fixed that!
  17. Insanity IS hereditary, you get it from your kids
  18. See every attempt to make a "conservative twitter" or "conservative facebook". All doomed to failure.

    Just a note on the original article - the british response has very little to do with science and almost everything to do with politics. The right wing in the UK (as in the US) loves to stoke the "dirty foreign immigrant" narrative and thats all this is.
  20. Well there's a spectacular lack of self awareness on your part.

    also, consider the source. the homepage of that site is a hot mess.
