I believe that's what's known as a challenging wank.

Why, it's almost like they were hiding something from us.

You can bet on it.

@jolly said in Turning me into a racist.:

What horrors have befallen these students? Nothing directly, just all the media-hyped, Democrat promoted garbage that has turned real cries of racism into indistinguishable crowd noise. “The unjust murders of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor and George Floyd, the life-threatening actions of Amy Cooper and the violent conduct of the [University of California Police Department] have led to fear and anxiety which is further compounded by the disproportionate effect of COVID-19 on the Black community,” the email whines. “As we approach finals week, we recognize that these conditions place Black students at an unfair academic disadvantage due to traumatic circumstances out of their control.”

As I've mentioned elsewhere, there are a lot of people who would benefit greatly from realizing what does or does not actually affect your life.

The woman has no sense of irony. Her book is called “ i’ll take your questions now.“

Grisham never conducted a public news briefing during her time as White House press secretary..

@lufins-dad said in Merck pills cuts risk of hosp, death by 50%:

Headline: Merck says its new Covid pill reduces the risk of hospitalization, death by half for some patients

For some patients? That's a weird little qualifier...

It really isn't. No drug on the planet works exactly the same across all ethnicities, ages, comorbidities, etc., etc., etc.

I just default to cash for any fast food or coffee

To be fair, Jon, you default to cash when you buy a new car.

I suspect a huge percentage of those unvaxxed guys have natural immunity and are no more likely to be infectious as a vaxxed employee, regardless of PPE.

@doctor-phibes said in The Dumpster Fire of Humanity:

If anybody says anything remotely controversial, there are generally howls of outrage from a bunch of knobheads of one form or another.
What's the point of it?

[Nodding.] There's a Mah-Jong game I play online . . . it's a time passer. I'm happier fiddling around on that and thinking my own thoughts than I am trapping myself in the horror hell of social media.

That to me may represent the biggest disadvantage of the Internet: The grasping toward, the pursuit of, ever more stuff to know -- a greed that, like the appetite for cocaine, grows and grows and is never satisfied. A greed that is deleterious for the human mind and soul and ultimately, body; a greed humans were never meant for.

Of course. He can no longer with the guilt of this fraud that he’s helped perpetuate and is having trouble sleeping at night. It’s obvious to anybody looking for the signs. Oh, he’s not going to come out and admit the truth now, he knows better, but in 15-20 years he’ll be ready to spill the truth. Of course, he’ll die of “natural causes” just before. Just watch. If he dies in the next 15-20 years you will have proof that I was right about EVERYTHING…

Too soon.

😆 to both.

I was playing yesterday and Stella was fascinated by the hammers going up and down.

But Luna is getting closer to acceptance. Curiosity eventually wins out. Stella is being very good about being submissive, laying down and rolling over belly up when interacting. She just cannot understand why Luna doesn't want to play with her. But they get closer all the time. We had several nose-to-nose actions, then last night they were on either side of the scratching box.

@lufins-dad said in Woman with a choice bump.:

I just have never understood this argument. It’s not “their bodies”… The fetus has it’s own unique genetic blueprint, separate and different that the mother. It’s not “your body” it’s a completely separate body inside another.

Me neither, and I’m pro-choice.

Though I would slightly change your formulation and say it’s not just their bodies.

As time passes and science advances, " my body, my choice" is rapidly losing its effectiveness. As you have pointed out, genetics points out that the baby is a unique human in its own right. As such, it inherits those natural rights bestowed upon any other person.

Secondly, the age of in vitro viability has wound its way down to around 22 weeks.

You don’t say.

I am aware of a bank that had a software issue and disbursed a little over a billion dollars in payments. Fortunately it was to banking counterparties and institutional clients and every penny was returned next day.
