I’ll try not to wait a month before the next update.

This turned out to be a bit of a lie…

I’m going to try to work through the backlog of posts this week, starting with these 20:

Coronavirus (COVID-19)

I’m only now starting to realize how much MJ was ahead of his time. Dude wore the mask, covered his eyes, had his face replaced with antimicrobial plastics, and protected his hand with a sequined glove which is second only to tax cuts in reducing disease transmission.

Healthcare USA #1

These Canadian healthcare horror stories are up there with Canadian girlfriends in high school.

Democratic Primaries 2020 - Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

Trump is only one layer of bad guys. He’s a cheap AI-cheating video game boss that incites you to pump quarters into the machine and distracts you from the fact that the developers are stealing your money and have been forever. First you’re mad that the AI cheats, but then you realize that the weak characters you’re forced to chose from were also created by the developers. Gamers are outraged and want Bernie Sanders as a playable character. Instead, the developers fold all of the shitty characte…

THE Super Tuesday Mega-Gameday Sweat

63 to 18 on black voters in VA. That has been polled for months and been nowhere near that. Endorsements from Pete and Klob who had combined 0.05% black voters there turned it guys!

THE Super Tuesday Mega-Gameday Sweat

All my life people have been telling me I need to vote for the lesser of two evils because SCOTUS, because down ballot races, because the alternatives are worse, etc. etc. Republicans currently control: The Presidency (and probably the next one too) 5/9 SCOTUS seats (probably soon to be 6) 7/13 Federal appeals courts 53/100 Senate seats 26 governorships 29 state legislatures In my lifetime, inequality has skyrocketed. Real wages have flatlined. Incarceration rates are shockingly higher than …

Democratic Primaries 2020 - Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

Do you think that Bernie and Biden are similar, at all, politically? I don’t. And Pete’s policies were much closer to Biden’s than they were to Bernie’s. IMO pretending that Biden/Pete want the same things Bernie and the left does is harmful. It gives the impression to voters that the outcomes of a Biden presidency will be largely the same as the outcomes of a Bernie presidency. That’s why you get people voting based on personality and how loud someone is and whether they think their neighbor…

Coronavirus (COVID-19)

make it into two million gallons of homeopathic hand sanitizer

Thanks Awval

It’s Schroedinger’s Virus. You’re both infected and not infected until you test for it. Then you’re infected.

The Presidency of Donald J. Trump, Episode VII: We Are All Going To Die, Thanks Obama!

Democrat hoax to hurt your favorite president Fake News Media overhyping threat to hurt Trump Seasonal Flu is way worse. THINK ABOUT THAT! “Foreign Virus” is gonna kill you, but I’ll stop if by keeping dirty Euros out. What about Obama killing thousands with Swine Flu? It’s a National Emergency! We will take care of everybody. Here’s some CEOs who love me. Stock market, please clap! Pray to God for divine intervention because that’s our only hope. All in the span of a week.

Coronavirus (COVID-19)

Horror movies where all the characters do incredibly dumb shit to put themselves in danger aren’t unrealistic after all.

SARS-CoV-2: Electric Superflu

I’m in Chicago, in my bedroom, you’re in Australia, a place I’m not sure really exists. We’re talking! Why would I need to leave the house?

Donations

The most recent donation has been received. Thanks? [image] My opening this up in front of my wife initiated a fun conversation about the fact that I was a treasurer for an online forum, and that apparently meant that people could send me random gift cards that: obligated me to donate the equivalent amount of cash to the site. eat $25 worth of skyline chili I will of course provide a trip report of my consuming this chili, but I’m not sure when that’s going to be. I’ll just say it’s not…

SARS-CoV-2: Electric Superflu

It is absolutely maddening that this virus outbreak has been known since early December, recognized as a serious problem since January, been a localized health disaster since early February, and a full blown global pandemic for a month, and we still don’t know a god damn thing about anything. The reliability of information is equivalent to what we see in the first couple hours after some natural disaster or terrorist attack. Does it spread by contact or aerosol or spit or something else or all …

The Presidency of Donald J. Trump, Episode VII: We Are All Going To Die, Thanks Obama!

You have to humiliate and attack the ego until it gets to complete meltdown. Direct personal challenges. “Mr. President, can you explain why the stock market has lost over a third of its value on your watch while Barack Obama–some say the best president of all time–was able to triple the stock market. Is it because you are incompetent with respect to virology and disaster management or is it simply because Obama had a much larger penis?”

SARS-CoV-2: Electric Superflu

This pandemic that’s going on right now should, at the very least, destroy the myth of the smart/benevolent billionaire. We knew what was coming in mid February and they did nothing. They like to hide behind the “I’m going to donate 99% of my fortune to help humanity” excuse, but like, if there was every a time to use your fortune to help humanity, it was six weeks ago.

Can’t watch. Best Buy is closed. No place to get a new TV. I can use the same brick over and over however.

SARS-CoV-2: Electric Superflu

Other than my Wheel of Fortune story a bit ago I’ve largely avoided engaging in this thread, and not because I don’t appreciate all the effort that has gone into making this one of the best resources for COVID on the internet. This whole saga has just really drilled home the impossibility of achieving leftist policy in this country during my lifetime, and I am struggling with that. I’d like to rant a bit. It should be crystal clear to everyone in this nation the types of policies that could mit…
