  1. There was a good reply on a local subreddit for a city near me that I will post below. In the thread (about daily infection numbers), an idiot posted something like "The test used for COVID tests 9 different kinds of COVID, it doesn't even work. Don't be a sheep, do some research." The reply was: A good breakdown of anti-mask or covid-denier tactics.
  2. This definitely mirrors today, where people like Graham are "friends" with Biden and Harris despite literally fanning violent flames against them:
  3. Nation Can’t Believe They Spent So Long Overlooking Obvious Solution Of mRNA Instructions For Spike Protein Encapsulated In Lipid Nanoparticle WWW.THEONION.COM NEW YORK—Shaking their heads in amazement at their failure to see what had been staring them in the face during the entire pandemic, the nation expressed disbelief Friday...
  4. I mean, the only way to be sure about the safety (and mass efficacy) of the first vaccine shots will be to wait years. And chances are, most countries that get the vaccine quickly will have multiple variants rolling out at the same time (e.g. Pfizer and Moderna). I understand that one may be slightly better than the other...but realistically, I will be taking the first shot offered to me.
  5. http://www.reuters.com//article/_next/static/images/favicon-196x196-052cc719f1ac872e3544e51801338b46.png Exclusive: Canada in talks to donate extra COVID-19 vaccine shots to poorer countries - sources | Reuters WWW.REUTERS.COM Canada, which has reserved enough doses to vaccinate residents against COVID-19 several times over, is in talks with other governments about a plan to donate shots to lower-income countries, according to three sources familiar with the matter.
  6. Maybe we should all sign up for Parler and astroturf. This is my chance for foreign election interference!
  7. Oh great, now he can be a guest on Hannity and make tonnes of money.
  8. Following the Jurassic Park franchise: bigger and dumber, with DNA mutation, probably. I don't see how you can really break new ground with this franchise. Sure, you could make an okay movie if you follow the first one (or second), but is that enough?
  9. The ability to waste money in exchange for wasting money elsewhere is actually what has kept American democracy working for so long. The thing I always tell people is: it's not wasting money if something is being built, because people are getting paid, and that money is spent locally.
  10. And that $88 million could have easily swung a few state's legislatures.
  11. Imagine if the election had been 270-268 (with roughly the same 6-7 million vote margin). Romney and his ilk would not be putting up the same fake defense of democracy, we would be seeing a total assault on multiple states that could swing the election, and the GOP establishment would be backing it even harder.
  12. I do implore everyone here to be a model of courage and refuse to attend your family's Thanksgiving plans.
  13. lol good luck with that. Thanksgiving is going to be a super-spreader like the world has never seen.
  14. I don't think it's a conscious decision, but people who get elected to do things aren't as good at fundraising as people who get elected in order to continue to fundraise. So the party favours those people who want to fundraise (centrist corporate democrats). But it turns out those people aren't good at actually winning. A great example is how much the DNC raised to win Senate seats in Texas and Kentucky. They literally raised and spent more there than the entirety of their national state efforts.
  15. Please stay, I love reading your posts. Just stay away from GI/Asylum, the quality of posting there is absolute crap.
  16. Why the fuck do people post on The Asylum? Anyone whose post count is higher there than on any other board should be perma-banned. And why are people so angry with people lately? sblfilms and greatoneshere are fantastic users. We lose them but keep the trolls driving them away?
  17. Newsmax's Greg Kelly Calls for Trump Supporters to Form New 'MAGA Party' WWW.MEDIAITE.COM Newsmax host Greg Kelly is calling on conservatives to replace the Republican Party with a "MAGA Party." YES!
  18. My school division is a decent size (32 schools, ~12,000 students), and we (IT department) have been trying to mentally (and of course, factually) prepare administration for the possibility of learning from home. We have in-school 100% right now, with mandatory masks, and so far haven't had any in-school spread. We've closed classrooms for two weeks, and even one school for a week, but we've been lucky. But really, if we need to go fully remote again, the teachers/admin have no solid plan. Many of the kids we serve in poorer areas of the city have no home computer, or even home internet.
