Sorry, pede. That was absolutely wrong, and no man should be deprived of his family in his dying moments.

If it's any consolation, I've personally seen the other side. It's nice.

Spot on. Unfortunately, there's a lot of wedding to be done.

Demons are 100% real, and once you come to understand this, the world begins to make a lot more sense.

Your own life improves too because you can find the actual cause of certain problems and deal with them appropriately.

I once had to use a crappy Point of Sale program written in VB that was so hacked together and illogical that I wanted to strangle the developer every time I turned it on. Visual Basic just pisses me off now.

Honestly though, I would like to grow a coca bush. I hear the tea is pretty rad.

For the sake of this country and all that is holy, take this demonspawn down.

So what you're saying is that it would be OK to ban sugary and fried foods?

No. Everyone as the right to assume individual risk. Any other assumption leads us into the mess we are in now because that "threshold of risk" needs to be decided by someone or some group. (Queue CDC.)

Even more nefarious, once a threshold has been established it becomes normalized, and people turn to other perceived -- previously lesser -- dangers creating a new threshold to be crossed. We saw this with the switch from believing that chicken pox was a tolerable childhood disease to chicken pox being an unacceptable threat to life.

How to get people to wear seatbelt then? Urge and educated them strongly, but do not dictate to people what they can and can't do with their own body and life.

A few degrees isn't worth complaining about either until the water boils.

They want to stop casual social gatherings because it's a way for information to spread that's beyond their control. If people only talk on Twatbook they can monitor and influence the conversation.

Right now is probably pretty critical because it wouldn't take much to show someone that at the very least the election should be investigated.

I foresee a lot of crying and what-the-fucks.

Good idea. Let's have a vote to decide if it should be implemented.

The trick is first convincing people to be "anti" something. It automatically makes them reactionary to whatever input you feed them.

The health & public safety system is a huge legal backdoor that communists have been exploiting for decades. A lot of rights, common sense, and due process get pushes aside just by claiming "people might die!"

Hopefully we can fix it after the ongoing debacle.

A storm for the storm. Nice.

Not necessarily. It could be a fallback strategy. If they know they're caught, then the best move is to muddy the waters so people believe that everyone was cheating so it's not so bad.

This mirrors their pre-election social media push trying to convince people that both Democrats and Republicans (and therefore Trump) suck.

He sounds panicked. This is good.

I'm guessing xir meant that quantum physics says that stuff exists in an indeterminate probabilistic state of multiple potentials.

But what xir doesn't understand is that all those uncertainties collapse once that stuff is observed.

For example, I'm observing, and it's pretty clear what xir is.

The Pfizer vaccine study was assuming that asymptomatic meant non-infected. That's how they arrived at their 90% effective rate. So...trust science?

Mask have drawbacks, questionable effectiveness, and real deleterious effects that people refuse to include in the conversation. It's not just "a bit of cloth on your face" any more than a yellow Jew star was just "a bit of cloth" on your jacket.

Also SNL with its anti-Palin mockery. They actually have a huge influence on politics (by design).

Start was a little slow, but that fight scene was great! Perfect mixture of realism with flashiness.

This absolutely. They've been playing this game for a long time.

Imo, everything that's been demonized and ridiculed since at least the 60s needs to be reevaluated in our minds.

I too would buy one. Actually, I'd buy two.

We need to keep in mind that police departments across the country are run by different people, and -- like shit -- corruption flows from the top down.

There are patriot PDs, and there are bullshit PDs. DC is of the latter.
