I think it's true of everyone's family, but the saddest cases are the ones who's relatives voted for Biden.

Most of them have been dead for 30 years and they couldn't even stop by on the way to the polling station for a visit.

Just wait until one of them writes an essay "On the Paradox of Inclusivity" like they did with tolerance.

The mental gymnastics required are such that only a leftist could manage it without realizing how idiotic they sound.

When you have a background check done, the FBI collates a bunch of information. By law, they're supposed to destroy it but we know that's incredibly unlikely.

Likewise, when you purchase the gun, they record everything about you and the applicable serial numbers. Chances are non-zero that the .gov could use this information to dox the owner of these weapons and pay them a visit.

I love Sunday Gunday, but I'd never post pictures of anything I own (that was tragically lost in a boating accident 2 years from today) for this reason.

^ This.

Even on heavily left-of-center tech sites I'm seeing rumblings of dissent following the elite's response to WSB. Shutting down trading and threatening people who are following the law has made a number of them uneasy and they're starting to question the reality they were highly confident in just weeks ago.

With Elizabeth Warren now going out there saying that we need to help the poor, suffering, multi-billion dollar hedge funds, it's become even more apparent to them that literally none of the liberals were ever on their side.

It's not much, but there's a gentle simmer. Is it a mass awakening? Not yet, but you add this to the deplatforming efforts and the people who were highly vocal about ridding the world of hate speech are now having second thoughts.

Time will tell if this makes any difference. But it's a start.

Biden may have been one of the best things that could have happened, because it's showing a direct comparison between Trump's administration and the complete ineptitude, stupidity, and corruption of Biden's dumbest administration in history.

Of course they could. But that would tack wrongful termination on top of ridiculous mandates.

OP could wind up making bank if they did both.

Exactly.

The AstraZeneca vaccine uses a modified orangutan adenovirus (DNA virus) that infects human cells, inserts the viral DNA, which is then translated in the nucleus to produce mRNA strands that are kicked out into the cytoplasm, read by the ribosomes, and spike proteins generated thereof.

The AstraZeneca vaccine is actually slightly more concerning to me because of this fact. It can be manufactured more cheaply, and it's unlikely to cause modification to the cellular DNA. But it strikes me as more dangerous.

Minor corrections:

Takes over your mitochondria (not your DNA in your nucleus) and makes a "spike protein" which is same protein on the outer wall of a Sars-CoV2 virus.

The mRNA is translated by the ribosomes in your cellular cytoplasm which then produces the spike protein components assembled from amino acids that are encoded in the messenger RNA.

the mRNA is consumed when used.

The 3' (three prime) tail of the mRNA contains a series of "A" nucleotides that are trimmed off with each translation. When they're consumed the mRNA is rendered useless.

Pfizer discovered that attaching 120 such bases to the tail end of the mRNA strand appears to be the optimal number before the ribosomes get bored and stop reading the mRNA. Any more than that and the mRNA may begin to degrade. Any less and it's wasteful.

Otherwise your post is correct and the only one I've seen in here that's actually sensible. The rest is all ridiculous conspiracy theories that show absolutely no understanding of biology.

They say it's an operating system. It's mRNA. It's nanotechnology and gene-editing biotechnology. It changes your RNA to produce antibodies, and therefore is not a vaccine

The entire presupposition you make here is incorrect. In fact, this is so wildly inaccurate that it demonstrates a complete lack of understanding of biology. The nanotechnology portion of the vaccine is the delivery mechanism, not the mRNA. I'll address this in a minute.

First, your most egregious misunderstanding:

It changes your RNA to produce antibodies

Humans are driven primarily by DNA, not RNA. RNA is used within our cellular machine, but not in the way that you attempt to illustrate here. There is NO change to your genome in order to "generate antibodies."

The vaccine uses something called mRNA which stands for messenger RNA. mRNA is used by the ribosomes in the cellular cytoplasm to "print" proteins (actually amino acids that assemble into proteins). mRNA cannot change your DNA. In fact, it's the other way around. mRNA is typically synthesized in the cell's nucleus (from your DNA) where it then egresses via nuclear pores into the cytoplasm where it's then read by the ribosomes to produce proteins.

This is a very similar mechanism to what the SARS-CoV-2 virus (and other RNA viruses) do: They subvert cellular machinery to translate mRNA from the viral RNA to assemble viral components (spike proteins, etc) which then combine, leave the cell, and consume some of the cell's lipid bilayer to encapsulate the virions.

So, the vaccine inserts mRNA into the cellular cytoplasm, the ribosomes produce spike proteins identical in shape to that produced by the virus, and those then (eventually) leave the cell where they're identified by the immune system.

The vaccines do not stimulate the body to produce antibodies directly; they stimulate the ribosomes to produce proteins that are then detected by the body's immune system as viral components.

If you've made it this far, then you might be wondering what makes the vaccines so dangerous. Simply put it's not the mRNA. mRNA therapeutics were originally envisions as potential cancer treatment therapies. This is something that's been on the table since the late 1980s.

The danger is actually the delivery mechanism. This is where the nanotechnology comes in. Pfizer and Moderna have both manufactured special lipid nanoparticles within which they can embed the mRNA for deliver into muscle tissue (where it then stimulates the ribosomes to produce spike proteins). However, because the lipid capsules are generally unstable, they're currently using polyethylene glycol bound to the lipids to help stabilize it. PEG, as it is called, is generally thought to be biologically inert and safe, but the problem is that with the rollout of the vaccines we're discovering that this isn't necessarily the case. Some people are suffering anaphylaxis as a consequence of exposure to PEG. It's plausible that PEG may provoke serious, potentially lethal, immune responses. And we're not entirely sure why.

The problem is that the body recognizes PEG as a foreign substance and generates immunoglobulins specific to PEG in effort to destroy it. If this gets out of hand, this can cause complications. mRNA, by comparison, is incredibly unstable and cannot survive outside a cell for any length of time.

IMO these vaccines are probably less likely to cause serious, long term complications as can happen with live attenuated vaccinations but we don't have enough data on what PEG can do when bound to lipid particles to stabilize the delivery mechanism. Can it provoke similar long term problems? We don't know. It's unlikely but possible.

If you're going to look into the science as to what is provoking dangerous reactions to these vaccines, you need to look at the delivery mechanism!

If the government really wanted to confiscate all firearms, they'd first bankroll boating safety and training for amateur mariners so we stop losing things.

Plus I can't imagine they'd be stupid enough to post a laundry list of things they allegedly stand for after "distancing" themselves from the only candidate in history that supported exactly those things.

Wait, that's intended as an insult? If that's true, these people are stupider than I thought.

It would be like speaking of a woman as "she's so beautiful she's hideously beautiful."

parents arent going to be happy

The dad will be pissed because his wife is pissed.

But deep down inside he's got a totally different opinion...

They are.

I'm thinking there aren't many solutions though. If we develop our own machines, we'll be out-bid because Dominion no doubt sucks off the teet of the government because they deliver wins on a silver platter.

However...

...pretending you're a libtard and getting into the voting apparatus so you can monitor the voting process (or even participate in running the machines yourself!) may be our best option. If enough of us do that and collect evidence of ongoing fraud there may be a path forward. Yes, I know the overwhelming evidence this election was completely ignored, but the GOP was happily ignoring it as well given their desire to remove Trump. Once 2022 comes rolling around, the GOP will either have to fight or it's dead.

But hey. Maybe that's how this is supposed to end. We end up with a single-party system that triggers a mass secession of states.

This is gonna sound old fashioned and probably a bit dumb, but I'm 100% serious: Go to church. The hallowed ground filters out the cucks and the libtards.

Actually, I think they'd probably burst into flames if they saw a cross, but I live in a deep red county so I don't have any first hand experimental data.

Sometimes they even revert. I dated a girl (now) in her late 20s (I'm quite a bit older). Originally, she was pretty based, but she became increasingly more left-leaning and largely ignorant of current events as she spent more time in academia.

Once she got a fancy title, she ditched me for some soyboy cuck. Haven't heard from her in over a year now, but I suspect very strongly based on things I've heard that she's probably more left-leaning than when we broke up. She also lives in the research triangle, which I'd imagine doesn't help.

Only thing I can suggest to you is to try going to church if you haven't. If you're in a fairly populated area, you'll find a bunch of women in that age group who are single. Hell, I've found a few in the mid/late 30s who are still single because they're tired of the fact most men (even in the church!) are a bunch of cucks.

Still haven't found "the one" myself, but there's always options out there if you know where to look and are willing to take the time. But remember: Seek first the kingdom of God and then all other things will be added unto you!

Plus some states are closed primary only. If you're unaffiliated, you can't vote in the primaries (for party candidates; primary elections sometimes have other proposals up for vote).

The primaries are where the real elections take place.
