Kid I knew 25 years ago had one. Actually kinda worked on an indoor pool, which was neat, but definitely didn’t work for shit on the sidewalk. Basically, it didn’t work at all in any sort of wind and barely worked on anything rougher than linoleum

Surgeons do wear masks in public for exactly the same reason they wear masks in surgery. Idk what your point is exactly. Lockdowns did work as evidenced by infection rates in lockdown counties vs open counties. It’s stupid removed like you thinking someone is “doing this to you” when it’s happening to all of us.
Drachinifel anyone?
For a long time, Germany treated any mention of nazis or depictions of swastikas as basically infohazards, scp style. You can’t become the fascist if you don’t know what a fascist is, or so the thinking went. Imo a lot of what was really happening was German guilt and attempting to hide history from their youth.
We beat Medicare tho.
“Occasionally answering the questions” is not a passing grade for this debate. The minimum bar was “appear competent” and Biden couldn’t pull it off. Trump didn’t “win”, but it’s easy to see that Biden lost. I’m still going to vote blue, but Biden/Harris WILL lose us the election.
Kamala Harris is a reincarnation of the hyena of auschwitz. Actual, factual psychopath.
Kamala is plenty bright. She’s just a psychopath. Zero emotional intelligence. She has no emotional empathy for any other living being whatsoever. This woman openly laughs at slavery and human rights violations. She is the modern day equivalent to the hyena of auschwitz.
And what a fuckin poison pill that removed is. Honestly feel like Sarah Palin is more palatable.
We have answered the question: can you scream with no mouth?
The answer is yes. The scream is coming from the eyes.
Well the US is one of the biggest importers of things by ship. Are we doing anything about the millions of tons of bunker oil being burned every hour of every day?
No?
Then it isn’t good enough. Shipping is stage 1 fix it right now kinda shit and we are doing NOTHING about it
If Biden so good at environment, then why come ocean so hot?
QED Checkmate nerds we all gon die
A child with agency?!? Making decisions?!?? Not in MY white fright dystopia they wont!! I was abused and therefore I am entitled to abuse any child I see, because I am a child in my mind! Why would I ever address my own deficiencies when I have a political figure to scapegoat every decade or so?
Pushing Ice by Alastair Reynolds is one of my favorite scifi books and it deals with this question in an interesting way. It proposes that Time is the great filter. Life exists in this galaxy, but intelligent life is so fleeting when considering galactic distances that the probability of one sentient lifeform finding another during their “peaks” is vanishingly small. Extinction, societal collapse, evolution to a higher form, whatever you want to imagine, it all gets in the way of the fantasy of meeting a thinking being from another planet.
Time itself is the filter. I don’t think we are the first, but I don’t think we will every find any other intelligent life. The universe is too big and our lives are far too short to make any sort of attempt to travel or communicate across those distances ourselves. I’m also not entirely confident our idea of what a society is will last in any meaningful way over the timespans required. Our longest lasting dynasties rarely make it more than a couple hundred years. Space is just too big for us to work with using our current understanding of physics.
No I miss old star wars content. Specifically where Luke and Leia make out and where exactly George was going with that shit.
Jokes aside, pronouns is the dumbest possible hill to die on with regards to the starwars universe. OF COURSE gender is going to work differently when you put a bunch of wildly different species together. Gender dimorphism is not some universal rule the rest of the galaxy has to follow. Hell, sexual dimorphism isn’t even universal ON EARTH. why the fuck wouldn’t you run into a them or xir every now and then? What about those bug people from clone wars? You think bug people are gonna have mommies and daddies or what?
No, 11,000 were effected by the recall. There’s way more morons with money in this country. I’m in CA and I saw 3 of them on my 10 minute drive to my favorite pizza joint.
As someone who is taking Kaiser Permanente to court over their refusal to release documents, let me confirm that grievance coordinators are the most useless wastes of oxygen ever to steal air on this planet. Even having your lawyer send them the actual text of the law they are currently violating, they will refuse to do anything not explicitly outlined and approved by their policy. Fuck the law. Fuck common sense. If it’s not policy, it doesn’t matter.
I’ll take dead martyrs over actively corrupt figures of absolute authority any day any how.
