Since this whole COVID-10 pandemic started, the only sickness I've gotten are colds and they are the worst colds I've ever had.

Likewise, most I've had is my allergies bothering me. Even my dreaded nemesis cigarette smoke affects me way less. I can't explain this phenomenon of why I've barely been sick 

 

Any insight?

We've spent a year where a good chunk of society has kept their boogers and other nasty things to themselves. The odds of you catching the flu have been incredibly lessened from normal.

 

That means that after a year of not really catching anything, the moment you do catch something you'll get a better sense of how terrible it actually is for you. Influenza killed a surprisingly high amount of people as is. People just kept underplaying "The Flu" by calling it "The Flu" instead of being honest about how bad it is.

 

Essentially you're guys getting hit by random respiratory illness and relearning how much they got downplayed.

So. 

 

This virus wasn't even that big of a threat until they juiced it up......................and then unleashed it upon the world?  

 

AND THEY KNEW THIS.  THEY KNEW IT FROM THE START AND LIED AND HID THE TRUTH FROM EVERYONE.  

 

All of the deaths are on their hands.  Period.

Well a slight correction, I did catch Covid like in February last year, but no symptoms other than loss of smell/taste. Which only lasted 4 days

 

But yea other than that nothing besides allergies. I definitely been slippin lately tho so I gotta get back on my A-game to avoid catching anything serious

[Maxx]

So this for recommended to me on YouTube. I've been watching alot of adhd related content but this one really hit home. I've always felt I was super sensitive to rejection even in situations I knew weren't personal but it felt like it hit me like mack truck . I thought something was really wrong with me which led to alotttt of suicidal thoughts when I was younger. This makes so much sense to me.

Regular ol' influenza is really serious. During August my wife had an oral surgery done to remove two wisdom teeth that overstayed their welcome. That was on a thursday. Unbeknownst to us was that she was in the early stages of influenza, had to take her to an ER at 10 pm that Sunday night.

 

Her issues with the flu last a good couple of weeks too. That's why all the "We'll its just the flu" clowns were that. Spanish Flu was Influenza. Look how many "just the flu" killed.

 

Even with the shitty ass US healthcare, people forget just how bad some diseases can be.

[Chadouken]

FBI confirmed the remains found are Brian Laundries. Still no cause of death confirmed. Meaning it'll likely be Covid.

Ephebophilia is not pedophilia. 

For starters in most of the world is not really illegal, since the age of consent is usually around the age thresehold. 

 

Hell, in most states the age of consent is around 16, some even at 15.

We've talked about this.

You are technically correct, but this is not the hill to die on.

[RSG3]

"You are correct, but it makes me uncomfortable so we're just going to ignore it because it feels better for me that way."

 

That's all you are really saying honestly.

 

You should probably remember that people from all over the world use this website and your personal standards not being the same in other parts of the world isn't "Dying on a hill" and its hella dismissive. You could easily be calling people he knows and respects pedophiles because our cultural ideas of what is age appropriate are different from the rest of the world. I had to explain this shit in great detail to my French Roomates a few years ago who where here on semester from College cause where they are from 16 is legal age of consent but it isn't in the State of Arizona.

Crowder has a massive case of being an ass-hole. 

 

Intellectually vapid - Yes

 

Asian Hate Monger - Not necessarily. 

[Sonichuman]

I'm not even really outraged so much as I think it's just a really dumb ass statement to make regardless of the person involved.  Again if anyone came to my FGC meet ups and someone suddenly came face to face with a white person and just went 'WHOA...Your face is aggressively white' to someone there  that's  a record scratching music stopping moment.  Again..WTF does that even mean? lol

With that said Im not really gonna approve of it when its done to others just because people might ignore when its done to me. He may be a comedian but i doubt he was doing a bit when he brought up her race. It may be a joke but its a cheap low hanging one, and he's pretty shit for making it.

 

And im giving him the benefit of the doubt it was a shitty joke.

I'd agree with you. I think he's more of a comedian than a serious thinker and uses politics as the basis for a lot of his comedy but veers into assholeville at times from what little I've seen of him. I wonder if the reaction would have been the same had it been said by someone who's known exclusively as a comedian. 

 

And I won't lie, I thought Chappelle's "Space Jews" joke was pretty funny in part because it was so dumb 😂

I'm going out on a limb, but when someone says something is "white," it's usually meant in a derogatory way, so it would be correct for that to be a record scratch moment. I'm not saying "aggressively Asian" wouldn't be, and maybe I don't get out much, but I've never heard someone use "Asian" the same way as "white" in that context. Tbh I don't really even know WTF "aggressively Asian" even means

The guy is doing a real life option select with him being a "comedian". He may have tried a joke, but there wasn't a much of a joke there. He said some random dumb thing thinking it was going to land but it was a plane with no wheels.

 

Seriously, the thing is barely a joke. YOU LOOK REAL ASIAN. OMG WHY ARE YOUR EYES SO SLANTY? DOESNT SHE HAVE SLANTY EYES?

 

Its kind of like if you sucked any type of humor out of south park and then had people pretend they were doing the same thing as south park.

[MillionX]

Toy Galaxy did a video on The Real Ghostbusters

Yeah, I also remember the other "The Ghostbusters" cartoon he mentions...it was funny being around in that time of "The Real Ghostbusters", then seeing this other Ghostbusters show and being initially confused because the other one had absolutely nothing to do with the super-popular movie franchise we all know....haha I still watched it too though... I even had 2 of the toys (a yellow skeleton dude named "Scared Stiff" and "Ghost Buggy", that old haunted jalopy they drove around in)... unfortunately I don't remember seeing a toy of "Prime Evil", which was a strange design but still interesting.

The letter in that article doesn't explicitly confirm Gain-Of-Function research. What it seems to state is:

 

1.) They were studying two types of coronaviruses in the lab.

2.) One made the lab rats sicker, and the lab didn't report this.

3.) Both viruses were still genetically distant from COVID. I.E., the viruses they studied couldn't have produced COVID.

 

Is there something I'm missing here? I'm like 70% sure I'm not, because the only sites I see beating their chest over this as proof of GOF research are conservative sites (which I trust as far as I could throw Lizzo). Still, there's that 30%.

Whoever is responsible for it, I'd be in favor of torturing them slowly on a world-wide broadcast so everyone can see it....then if only we could inject the corpse with something to bring them back to life, so we could continue slowly murdering these pieces of shit over and over again for the rest of time.  I'd have fun personally overseeing the festivities.  The world deserves that small level of satisfaction at the very least.  People could also be invited to piss, shit and vomit on them too.  If they happen to be religiously inclined, it could also be fun instructing them to pray to their God....and laugh as absolutely no divine intervention ever saves the day for them.

That article was from May, so they knew a lot earlier than just now.

 

Now, the disease could've mutated all on it's own, but that isn't what happened.

 

the major things here is that he had been stopped once before because of the risks of something like COVID becoming a threat to people happening.   Apparently he did it anyway and then lied about it.  If they had just been honest (Or had not done the damn shit in the first place) a lot of this could've been avoided, if not all of it.

 

I wonder what pushed him to do it?  What made him so gung ho to make what should've been a far more harmless disease into this?

Blanks can still kill people. IIRC you have to be at least 20ft away from a gun firing blanks to avoid risk of injury.

No live rounds are ever used on set. It's blanks.. But blanks can kill at a close range. Sag union movies don't ever use live rounds. And apparently this was a freak accident

Ah, I just got the notification... looks like John Campea will be talking about that Alec Baldwin situation on his show today in a few minutes...

 

Ok, Midnight Mass spoiler stuff....I was just chatting with a friend about this yesterday... heh, 'cause you know I'm compelled to talk about this stuff...

Spoiler

Hell yeah I'd take the deal on vampirism in this show; I know, that's not a surprise, really....  but at first I was thinking "nah", since they don't appear to have any of the more interesting powers from other stories; no shapeshifting, flying, etc., but still... it at least gives you that baseline stuff of presumable immortality *and* it "fixes" any health problems you currently have...bringing you back to your "prime", best self physically.  The elder priest looked like he was somewhere between 75 and 80 years old...and comes back to town looking like a guy that's about 34 or 35....that doctor's mother was old and senile, and by the end she was in full possession of her mind and back to the prime version of herself... I didn't even recognize the character in the last few scenes, actually....it took a while to realize that's her....there was also the little girl that was paralyzed from the waist down being able to walk again, people no longer needing glasses to see, etc. etc.  Sheeeeittt, that's totally worth it just for all that, imo.  Any of you who take medication for something----imagine that you never have to take that medicine again...on top of being immortal now.  They also have an insane regeneration/healing factor, as we see the priest recover from being shot in the head.  Heh, it would seem foolish to turn this down but that's just me....how could one not be hype for this situation?

 

Also, obviously they should've listened to Monsignor's plan and stayed in the church....they would've had that and any remaining buildings and basements as an option to hide from the sunrise later.  At the very end, they all had nowhere left to go.

I'm playing a "Flavor in Lacroix Sparkling Water" level of MK11. I used to play Call Of Duty: Black Ops 3 fairly often until hackers finally got in and ruined everything. Sad thing is I'd still rather try to get good games in BO3 than to play any of the latest offerings. They have been on a 7-year losing streak in my eyes since Black Ops 3 hit in 2015. I'm counting Vanguard because I already know I'm avoiding it from the beta.
