No camping

In his tweet, [Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez] put the blame on Washington.
“I hold the U.S. Government responsible for its continuous campaigns against our country that encourage these behaviors and for calls for violence, with impunity, from its territory,” he said.

NY man trying to kill skunk killed by crossbow arrow
In Texas once upon a time the emu market crashed. My neighborish went out to his ranch and decides to shoot all his emus. As the last one’s turn comes nigh, it occurs to him to get his bow out of the truck. Bingo: first shot, down goes Mr Emu. Tex walks over to examine his “kill” which, though it has an arrow stuck coming and going through it’s middle, jumps up and crashes into Tex, impaling his thigh on the exposed broadhead. Now joined at the hip, the crazed emu ran around the corral for several minutes dragging Tex with him and tearing every bit of useful meat out of Tex’s leg.

YouTube says it has removed videos posted by Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, because they spread misinformation about coronavirus.
The tech giant said its decision was not based on ideology or politics, but on its content policies.
Sure…but you still removed an avenue of communication from a sitting president to the people.
I’d laugh if some country had that happen and “nationalized” Twitter inside it’s boundaries.
It brings up a question to me. If Twitter claims something is “misinformation” and it later turns out to be true, would a leader have legitimate grounds to ban Twitter in his country, at least by Twitter’s standards? If blocking the spread of misinformation is a legitimate activity, and Twitter is declaring truth to be misinformation, then Twitter is itself, as a company, a source of disinformation. By Twitter’s own standards, that means the just response is to block the misinformer, in this case Twitter.
Twitter is its own legitimate grounds for banning Twitter.

As children we played in sandboxes. Playing in Twitter, and being serious, is taking that behavior from the sandbox to the sewer.

You know who else sent troops to the Austrian border?
The Austrian federal government has sent an additional 400 soldiers to the border with Hungary as the number of illegal migrant crossings has surged this year.
Austria’s Interior Minister Karl Nehammer and Defence Minister Klaudia Tanner held a joint press conference on Saturday announcing the build-up of troops on the Hungarian border to stop illegal migration.
“The European asylum system has failed,” Interior Minister Nehammeer told reporters and added: “We have to make sure that the welfare state does not topple over.”
It is working as intended, I assure you.

I didn’t think there was such a thing as illegal immigrants in the EU.
I lived there for a few years mostly illegally.
Well, not for them…

Funny. I seem to recall all our enlightened European friends declaring that Hungarian PM Victor Orban was some sort of reincarnation of Adolph Hitler because he was less than enthusiastic about foreign immigration into Hungary. I guess Hitler is the New Black.
I also remember them wetting the bed about the Covid law that gave him emergency powers without an expiration date, which admittedly is a bad idea. However, he’s given those powers back, while plenty of other Our Democracies have retained their emergency powers.
Why didn’t Austria think of sending troops to the Hungarian border in 1989?

BELIEVE!
Federal health officials still believe fully vaccinated individuals represent a very small amount of transmission. Still, some vaccinated people could be carrying higher levels of the virus than previously understood and potentially transmit it to others.
“This pandemic continues to pose a serious threat to the health of all Americans,” CDC Director Rochelle Walensky told reporters on a call. “Today, we have new science related to the delta variant that requires us to update the guidance regarding what you can do when you are fully vaccinated.”
And, of course, the data and methodology used in your latest (totally above board and repeatable) “study” are available anyone who wants to see them.
I read that as “mythology” at first.
some vaccinated people could be carrying higher levels of the virus than previously understood
Much turns on how many “some” is. So naturally, it is undefined. Because any risk whatsoever is too much risk.
Unless it isn’t, of course. Three times as many children drown every year as have died from COVID. Yet somehow, “if it saves just one life” hasn’t led to calls to outlaw swimming pools.
Similar to I keep hearing that the delta variant is more deadly, but no one produces the numbers on that. Unless I seemed to have missed them with all this misinformation running about.
“Some” … “could” … “than previously understood”.
Another, equally accurate, way of phrasing this: “We may or may not have miscounted the viral load of zero or more vaccinated people, who may or may not have benignly low levels of viruses.”
This pandemic continues to pose a serious threat to the health of all Americans
“All” Americans? Given the actual statistics, that statement is demonstrably false.
That can only be true if the vaccine is a failure.
These people just cannot stop stepping on their own dicks.

Behar said, “I just saw this morning that the CDC is now saying that even vaccinated people should be wearing masks indoor which I have been doing when I go to the supermarket, et cetera. Here is the thing about mandates, we have given them lottery tickets, we have given people incentives all over the place, football tickets, Krispy Kremes. In West Virginia, they offered to give them a gun. Apparently, that’s the only shot they are scared of, the vaccine shot, not getting actually shot. So bribery didn’t work. So the next step might be what we look at as threats. You will not be able to go to a restaurant unless you are vaccinated. You will not be able to go into a museum. You are not going to be able to go into the theater. In France, President Macron has already made this a mandate. As of the past 24 hours, 1.3 million people have signed up. He didn’t put it into effect. He just said he was going to do it, and 1.3 million people have signed up. Just the idea you are going to lose your so-called freedom is scary.”
She added, “By the way, one more small thing. Why is their freedom more important than my freedom to not get sick? I don’t understand that idea that I am taking away their freedom. They are basically taking my freedom away by not getting vaccinated. Can I get an amen on that?”
You are already sick . . . in the head.
I notice that the same people that said lockdowns were no big deal are the same that are pushing this line. It doesn’t affect them, at all, and they believe they will be brought into the new order of things as faithful mouthpieces that did the work.
They want everyone else to be as miserable as they are.
Why is their freedom more important than my freedom to not get sick?
Because you aren’t “free” to not get sick? You have no “right” to not get sick? You are free to, and have the right to, take actions that protect you from getting sick (assuming, of course, you don’t violate other people’s rights). And you have. Get a shot, wear a mask, nobody is stopping you. Oh, they aren’t perfect protection? Welcome to the real world, you ignorant bint.

Why is their freedom more important than my freedom to not get sick? I don’t understand that idea that I am taking away their freedom. Why is their freedom more important than my freedom to not get sick? I don’t understand that idea that I am taking away their freedom.

One of Mexico’s few Black politicians has died after contracting COVID-19 in April, leaders of his party confirmed Monday.
This is good news. Something has weakened the ‘vid, takes 3 months to kill now. Masks? Vaccines?
Stop asking such questions and focus on what’s important: a POC within a country of POCs died of COVID. Its totally meta.
Wonder if he got the vaccine between then and now…
OMG! The black Mexican politician died from both COVID and the vaccine! There’s literally no place to hide!
We’re doomed! DOOOOOOOOOOMED!

I thought racism was infrastructure like everything else.
Richmond is now among more than 200 American localities that have declared racism a public health crisis.
The City Council unanimously adopted the declaration on Monday night with few remarks from the legislative body, five months after Virginia lawmakers passed a similar resolution for the state. The city’s resolution is the first adopted by a Virginia locality.
Richmond’s resolution sets out a 10-point plan that includes the implementation of new laws and policies; public outreach efforts; partnerships with community organizations; and anti-racism training for city officials and employees.
Aka “pro-racism training”.
10-point plan? Are 5-year plans out of fashion now?
They get to browbeat you for twice as long before they need a revote.
It’s glad to see Richmond has joined such illustrious cities as Cleveland.
It is as if they don’t have a racism problem and yet, need to codify it into their laws…making it….systemic.
Does this mean FEMA gets to swoop in and clear the place of racists? I mean, it is “public” “health” “crisis”. That probably triggers a lot of FedBucks.

Having a rather long “discussion” with an LP member who’s obviously involved in the gene therapy research business. He’s very pro-vaccine and cannot understand my reluctance to the treatment. It’s to the point that I’m starting to wonder why he’s so vested in my decision.
You are a data point that he needs?
No self-respecting researcher needs data points. The good ones just make them up as needed.

Them Russian pilots don’t stop finding ways to teach the AI in the SU-57 to do things it’s not supposed to be able to do. They said it couldn’t flat spin…The pilots taught her to flat spin.

Was it a drone or a pilot in the jet. I am not understanding what they are getting at. Besides, we have done that with F-22s and 35s for almost a decade…and from what I know, the 22 airframe can handle much more than the pilot can withstand.
Still cool to watch though.
President Biden delivered an address Tuesday to the US intelligence community, but afterwards he was peppered with questions about the national COVID effort by reporters. While he mocked and ridiculed everyone who hasn’t gotten the vaccine yet, he told reporters that the White House is weighing a requirement for federal workers. “If you haven’t gotten the vaccine by now then you’re not nearly as smart as I thought.”
Attacking people’s intelligence is definitely how to get people to trust your Unity and Healing bullshit.
Also, my time may be coming to be forced to get vaccinated or to find new work.
Wonder, since he is technically my boss…does that qualify as a hostile work environment? Not that I have the money for that fight.
“One of us is not nearly as smart as they think they are … dumbass.”
The ravages of age and vascular dementia combined with lifelong stupidity do not a good combination make. Fed workers better prepare for a mandate of a firing regardless of agency because they’re going to swing for the fences it looks like.
It’s reasonable that I’m actually a touch smarter than Biden.
And yet I’m still magically alive without getting vaccinated.
You’re alive, but thanks to you, hundreds of vaccinated people are dropping dead in your wake! Because that’s how vaccines and viruses work! Somehow!
None of this has made any sense since the first stories started coming out of China in late 2019. Why start making sense now?

The Maryland Voter Integrity Group is the latest state organization to find flagrant anomalies in the 2020 presidential election.
The Maryland Voter Integrity Group found serious anomalies in four Maryland Counties. According to their findings, the Democratic vote increase spiked to between 34-37% in four targeted counties. This appears to have taken place without any measurable population growth, registration expansion, or vote increase for either party.
Could be turnout related or some good ole election fortification. No reason not to investigate.
There is a certain implausibility to Maryland’s election results (every county, every single one, cast more votes by percentage and absolute numbers, for Biden in 2020 than for Clinton in 2016), but honestly the swamp’s growth has been exponential and their bedroom communities extend well into PA and WV now. The groupthink is very strong here, and the state has no industry of its own anymore except government.

OFFS!!
Those poor babies!
Yet strangely, despite many instances of mobs tearing people that they hate to shreds, no police officers were executed or seriously harmed. Also, those terrorists are yours and Congress’ bosses. And they have every reason to string the entire lot of you up from the nearest lampposts.
I would like to see the bruises and lacerations on the police officers.
Those pictures from the med-check are locked with the video footage from that day.
If they wanted to execute people they would have brought firearms and it would have been extremely ugly and deadly. They’re full of it, it was an unfocused and stupid riot and little more.
It makes me a little happy to know that these pansies are probably representative of the police as a whole these days. I’m a little less worried about getting my guns stolen or being dragged off to be forcibly vaccinated…
Don’t worry. When they come to drag you off for your mandatory vaccine before dumping you into the camp, they’ll come in force. Even a coward can be brave in a crowd.

Y’know, like they do in Latin American dictatorships.
No doubt with the bail stuff helped along by the fact that most Republicans are controlled opposition as well as spineless pussies.
It’s Democrat porn.
Demoralization. A demoralized populace is easier to control. And though they may demoralize some of the opposition, it’s actually their own followers they want to demoralize.

Boo fucking hoo
Four police officers who defended the US Capitol on January 6 made clear Tuesday they are still dealing with physical and mental trauma from the attack, at times becoming visibly emotional while describing those lingering wounds during a hearing before the House select committee investigating the events of that day.
The four officers testifying — DC Metropolitan Police Officers Daniel Hodges and Michael Fanone, plus Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn and Sgt. Aquilino Gonell — have shared their stories publicly before, which include accounts of being beaten with a flagpole, being the target of racist slurs, being crushed in a door and being tased by the rioters.
During Tuesday’s hearing, the witnesses again detailed their experiences on January 6 and stressed that many officers continue to grapple with the emotional and physical toll from that day — a painful reality they say is only exacerbated by those who have attempted to whitewash the violence.
Highlighting the importance of continued physical and mental care for officers was a priority for Dunn and Gonell, in particular, ahead of Tuesday’s hearing, according to a source familiar with their preparations ahead of the hearing, who noted that was reflected in their testimony.
“More than six months later, January 6 still isn’t over for me,” Dunn, a Black officer who endured racist attacks from insurrectionists during the assault, told the panel. “I know so many other officers continue to hurt, both physically and emotionally,”
Such a tragedy. Career ending vaginitis.
It’s a transparent act. If they haven’t seen considerably more perilous and gruesome situations during their careers then I don’t know what to say and I don’t care if the Pretorian Guard gets a little misty eyed about something anyway.
They had to work hard to find those milksops for the trial.
Funny how we haven’t seen similar articles about last year’s riots.
endured racist attacks from insurrectionists
Weirdly, the DOJ has concluded there were no insurrectionists. They certainly haven’t charged anybody with insurrection.
And, again, I’d love to see the video of these racist attacks. And any cop who can’t stand up to namecalling without months of trauma needs to find another job.
continued physical and mental care for officers
Then we will see evidence of this continued care?

Why Critical Race Theory now?
Possibly. I think the main reason is that it’s just another cudgel with which to beat people over the head to destabilize and demoralize the population.
Can’t build a Marxist paradise without tearing down what precedes it.
Fanone, whose body camera footage shows how he was pulled into the crowd, beaten with a flagpole and repeatedly tased with his own stun gun on January 6, also testified about how he continues to struggle with psychological trauma from the attack.
“As my physical injuries subsided and the adrenaline that stayed with me for weeks waned, I’ve been left with the psychological trauma and the emotional anxiety of having survived such a horrific event. And my children continue to deal with the trauma of nearly losing their dad that day,” he said.
After he was pulled out of the sea of rioters, Fanone was taken to the hospital and was told by a physician that he suffered a heart attack.
“And I was later diagnosed with a concussion, a traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress disorder,” the officer said.
Those guys on Bataan had it easy.
It’s trauma all the way down.\
I assume they will release the footage that shows all of these things so we can see for ourselves and not have to take their word for it.
If he was indeed beaten by the rioters, then by all means those rioters should be arrested and tried. But most of the people being held apparently did nothing of the sort.
Where was this video six months ago?
I have seen video of rioters fighting with cops. I have no problem charging those guys. I don’t know if it’s the same video the cop is referencing here, but I doubt it.
I also have no problem charging people who smashed windows or those who climbed through the smashed windows. The rest didn’t do anything that Dem protesters do regularly to glowing coverage.
“Americans who got Johnson & Johnson’s Covid vaccine are ‘mixing and matching’ by getting Pfizer or Moderna boosters due to fears over the Indian ‘Delta’ variant
Studies have shown J&J is about 70% effective against illness from Delta, while the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are closer to 90%
People infected with the Delta variant are super-contagious, with about 1,000 times as many copies of the virus in their respiratory tracts compared to people infected with the original strain of Covid.
Studies on these mix-and-match regimens – including a paper published Monday in Nature – have suggested that patients receiving doses of two separate vaccines may have stronger immune responses than those who receive two doses of the same vaccine.”

I have two broken bicycle air pumps, all in the span of less than two weeks. The rubber hose broke off in both instances.
When I was a kid, we had the same damn air pump for 10+ years.
Ask yourself, “Can I throw this away and replace it right now with minimal investment?” and you get your answer.
There is no profit in longevity.
You can turn a profit doing it, you just can’t turn enough of a profit to keep regulators, investors, distributors, and suppliers happy at scale.
Yes. I suspect you might be able to find a bicycle pump that works as well as the one that cost you ten bucks a generation ago but it will cost you 20 or 30 bucks now.
Which is actually a decrease in price accounting for inflation
Were it really so. When there is a range of options, they tend to differ in size, color, or attached baubles more than quality. At least, when looking at what you can get in a major retailer.
Yeah, I wondering about that. OK, call it 40 bucks.
Amazon to the rescue! Just cross your fingers.
I had a cheapo Bell pump from Walmart that lasted maybe a year. Same problem. I spent some more money on a Specialized pump and it’s still going strong ~15 years later.
I’ve been going 20 years on a Joe Blow standing bike pump and it shows no signs of quitting on me. They aren’t super cheap but they love you long time.

Moaning and swearing might work a bit better.
“Who’s your daddy?” “That’s a good girl.” “FUCK YEAHHHHHHHH”
Generally, a lady making lesbian sex noises would attract the wrong kind of tenant.
I don’t think I know what you mean, please continue with that thought…
Great goodness, certain gaming PCs aren’t allowed to be sold in certain states because of power consumption regulations:
https://youtu.be/QcivEGigiGg
Unreal…
Essentially the cutting edge high end ones.
They call it “measured annual energy consumption” but it’s impossible to “measure” the annual energy consumption of a device before the customer obtains it and uses it for a year, since how much energy it uses will depend on how often the device is powered on and how heavily it is used during that year.
Government regulators are stupid and/or mendacious, example # too many to count.
Do PCs have asses for drugs to fall out of?
Only if they have a good graphics card that’s VR capable so not in Cali, Colorado, Hawaii, Oregon, Vermont, or Washington so depends on where you live I guess.
I saw the Hu in DC about 2 yrs ago. It was fun. I did not know there were so many Mongols in DC

The 90s was the best decade.
Well minus the flannel. And grunge. And the dull colors.
Now the 80s were a lot more fun.
They were both good music decades as long as you can put aside the hair metal which was mostly but not quite all terrible.
For you.
80s hair was the worst.
What’s wrong with flannel?
LH isn’t a lesbian.
Nor am I, but I have a lot of flannel shirts.
Not all lesbians identify as women!
Well, I am into chicks, so…
I met a female transitioning to become a male who was attracted to men. They were trying to become a gay white man. They were one of the most insufferable cunts I’ve ever been around.
You would know about insufferable cunts, wouldn’t you?
I love flannel. I wear some version of flannel nearly every work day.
Flannel is America’s fabric.
Flannel has been around forever, since even the times when Lickalotapus roamed the earth.
For you.
What could be going on here?

Truly a Scooby-Doo mystery!
Clearly he wants to fuck his daughter next.
If a dog can talk, why can’t there be real ghosts?
Clearly he prefers Daphne to Thelma
So I am SERIOUSLY tuning out everything emanating from DC; so if something serious like a war happens, ya’ll be sure to let me know, okay?
And spoil the surprise when the bombs start falling? Wouldn’t dream of it!
I work on a base less than a 100 miles away and I never hear about anything. What comes out of Norfolk is far more important when it comes down to real world stuff.
People infected with the Delta variant are super-contagious, with about 1,000 times as many copies of the virus in their respiratory tracts compared to people infected with the original strain of Covid.
And we have easily demonstrable nd incontrovertible proof of this, right?
RIGHT?
SCIENCE! has spoken, pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.
OMG. The stacks of bodies will be 1,000 times higher!
Then it must be more than 1,000 times less virulent.
So it’s almost as contagious as the original virus supposedly was?

Currently, those who test positive are forced into hospitals or community care facilities. This includes minor children apparently.
As far as I can tell, the Capitol Police are the functional equivalent to Disney mascots. They’re set decoration.
No wonder those guys were so traumatized when they were called upon to actually do something.
Re: The police testimony about the 1/6 riot.
I wonder if the rioters actually did racially abuse the Capitol police. I also wonder if they did, whether those rioters were Antifa or FBI plants.
Well, looked at the released body cam of Officer Fanone, the malingering extortionist who can’t present a professional appearance, there’s unexplained jumps in the clock. Selective editing= lying.
Clock jumps? Something something sweet can…
Did The Simpsons nail it or what?
Well, one of the cops who testified supports BLM and is a virulent opponent of all things not-Democrat.
Wouldn’t you know it – so are all the politicians presiding over the “hearing”.
Today at the weekly COVID update, big wig says that they’re having trouble convincing people to get vaccinated and that they generally understand that if people are unvaccinated at this point, likely no amount of data will change their minds. They showed rates of infection and hospitalization for vaccinated individuals to bolster their argument that the vaccines work. One intrepid individual asks for the same info for unvaccinated individuals, to which the big wig responds they don’t have that data.
So…big wig insults probably half the people in the meeting saying they won’t listen to data, then fails to provide the data to back up his claims about DeAdLiEsT sTrAiN eVaR, and ends up convincing at least some people that said big wig is easily brainwashed. Not exactly a stellar performance.
Fuuuuuuuuck when will this end?
bolster their argument that the vaccines work
Meanwhile the CDC is actively undermining the effectiveness argument by going back to masking, even for the vaccinated.
That was a comment in a previous meeting. Something along the lines of “are fucking kidding me?” When they reinstated the requirement around here. The natives are getting restless, and these aren’t dumb rubes. The powers that be are losing control and they know it.
“So, I want to make sure I understand what you’re telling me. You’re strongly encouraging me to get a vaccine that isn’t effective enough for people who have it to stop wearing masks? Do I have that about right?”
One intrepid individual
Wouldn’t have the nom du glib of Mustang, would he?
No, I’ll admit I didn’t have the cajones.
Biggest scambaiter in the world gets scammed, proving it can happen to anyone. Be vigilant!

Why would he deleted his own channel, if he thought he was talking to YouTube support?
The scammer posing as YT support was telling him his channel had been hacked & hijacked. It must have been really cleverly-designed, because this is a guy that can break into scammers’ webcams and office CCTVs.
Well, I took a first step actively pushing back against the woke bullshit at work today. Dangerous is the word that comes to mind when thinking about what I did, even though it was rather milquetoast when viewed outside of the woke lens.
I’m assisting in drafting a section of a publication that an industry group is putting out, and I was asked to review a subsection. The draft was (predictably) saturated in wokeness and didn’t really have any point except to signal virtue and gin outrage. Completely inappropriate for a largely technical document, but par for the course these days.
Gray Man trashy on the left shoulder said to leave it be, make minor tweaks, and go with it. Soylent Green era Charlton Heston sat on my right shoulder screaming “wokeness… is… racism!!” Charlton won and I ended up writing a scathing critique of the entire mess, especially critiquing the citation of an idiotically woke article (that I linked here a couple weeks back) as unconvincing and unserious. All professional, all defensible from non-political grounds, but sure to kick off a firestorm of some sort.
It feels so stupid to consider this an accomplishment. I write similarly scathing critiques on a weekly basis. The only difference is the subject matter. I was criticizing technical writing in the past. Now I’m criticizing the wokeness of what is essentially a sociology paper disguised as an industry best practices guide.
Hopefully the repercussions are minimal or non-existent, but I’m nervous about it becoming an ordeal. Woke true believers don’t take kindly to scorn, and I was heaping it.
Excellent work. I gotta admit, hearing about pushback is empowering. I hope it goes well (or at least not badly). Need more like this.
He’s going to be living in an actual trash can this time next week after he gets shit canned and blacklisted.
It’s a shame that a simple “what the hell does this paragraph have to do with anything?”
Horsetrading 101 rule 3: don’t start conversations you don’t want to finish
Trashy: Look, just consult the corporate mission; you’ll see it’s all client, continuous improvement, maybe a not to profitability and stability. How on earth does this align with our mission?
Boss: Sweet, thanks for volunteering; you’re exactly the kind of guy we need to round out our new mission statement to be more inclusive on this issue.
fuck; zero editing on the fly there; ugh
It’s a shame that a simple “what the hell does this paragraph have to do with anything?” doesn’t send them running for cover.
Horsetrading 101 rule 3: don’t start conversations you don’t want to finish. As in
Trashy: Look, just consult the corporate mission; you’ll see it’s all client, continuous improvement, maybe a nod to profitability and stability. How on earth does this align with our mission? Think about the goals of the firm.
Boss: Sweet, thanks for volunteering; you’re exactly the kind of guy we need to round out our new mission statement improvement committee. Your wordsmithing will really help us to be more inclusive on this issue.
That’s how I got into this shit in the first place. I’m trying to raise my profile in the profession, but everything is tinged with woke these days, so it’s hard to be on panels and write articles without encountering this bullshit.
I just got sick of it. I’m tired of acting like that pile of shit isn’t sitting in the corner of the room, wafting its retch-inducing stench into everybody’s nostrils. It’s one thing to ignore the bullshit coming from my company’s various DEI groups. It’s a whole nother thing when I have to run this DEI gauntlet to be an active participant in my profession.
Watch me get fucked soon.
Everyone is going back to masks just as I need to start making some sales calls. Most of my clients are hicks, so maybe I won’t get in trouble.
I hope so too.
Given I have to get one or the other, any thoughts on whether I should get the J&J or Pfizer vaccine? I’m not in a high-risk group. I’m more concerned about transmitting it to someone who is.
I think it’s splitting hairs to decide between the two, so I just got the one and done. I went back and found pre-COVID studies on the vaccines (what a pain in the ass to find) that lead me to conclude it’s all a wash for safety, so I just went and waited in line one time.
Apparently, the Pfizer is more effective after you get both shots.
If the mRNA part doesn’t concern you, then Pfizer.
Pfizer and Moderna are both mRNA. J&J is . . . something else.
Sorry, Gustave, misread your comment. Carry on.
Moderna has more side effects. The J&J is made out of equal parts swine intestines and industrial chemicals dug up out of the Love Canal way back when. Also perfectly safe and you only get jabbed once.
I thought it was wombat adrenal glands.
Actually, it’s made from an adenovirus found in chimpanzee shit.
Dude, how’d you find out about that key ingredient in my go to cocktail?
Should it concern me?
I can tell you my experience. The Moderna has more side effects. Pfizer has very few. The one thing it might do is give you the sleeping disease for a day. It did that to me. Moderna I’ve seen fainting, vomiting and flu like effects for days.
Now these are short term side effects. We don’t know the long term and will not for years.
At this point, I’m guessing both the mRNA vaccines are pretty safe for most people. But it’s not 100% safe, don’t let anyone tell you that lie. It COULD kill you, but so could a meteor. It’s just very unlikely it will harm you.
And you probably DO NOT need it at this point.
?♂️ It’s a concern for some. It’s either appears to be mostly ok with millions of doses administered with some side effects or it’s the next Thalidomide.
Interestingly, Thalidomide has been an approved drug in the US since 1998, which was the first time it was approved here.
If you’re not worried about growing a third spiny nipple, then J&J is the way to go. Not speaking from experience of course
Potato grow extra eyes not nipples.
“have to”?
“Given I have to get one or the other”
I was trying to phrase it like a math problem.
Aaaah, so a hypothetical? At this point my personal stance is none. Those motherfuckers have lied to us for over a year and a half and I do not believe the “90% effective”. The actual claim is 90% effective for reduced severity. My understanding is the study groups had very few old folks and for the vast majority of people this shit is by nature over 90% not severe! I do not believe anything they say. I am a firm believer they withheld evidence, studies, and any sort of information that proved we could effectively treat this thing so they could push vaccines and fuck them. Pfuck Pfizer, Moderna and J&J, the CDC, NIH, and especially fucking Fauci as well a Donald J Trump for letting them get away with it. Who knows how many old folks they killed to cash in on a government buy into their vaccines. They are murderers. I have some rage build on this issue. We have entered the pharmaceutical tyranny stage and it has been building our entire lifetime and they have achieved it.
It feels so stupid to consider this an accomplishment. I write similarly scathing critiques on a weekly basis. The only difference is the subject matter. I was criticizing technical writing in the past. Now I’m criticizing the wokeness of what is essentially a sociology paper disguised as an industry best practices guide.
Asking what what a bunch of rambling nonsense has to do with successful technology development seems pretty uncontroversial, to me.
Bartleby the Scrivener was a dangerous radical.
Yes, these Mongols are rocking out.
Yes they are. Thanks!
Well, looks like I’m going to get fired and sue. This was brought to my attention by my wife. Not sure if they’re leaving room for testing in lieu of getting mainlined with experimental drugs for diseases which I don’t even have, or not. I ain’t getting it. And I will use every legal means to oppose it.
Fuck it, dude. Just get it, it won’t kill you. The next one might, but I think this one is pretty safe. It’s just the conditioner, next time you get the real stuff.
Nope, Nien and Nyet. I do not allow lying liars to force me to take drugs. I ain’t getting it.
Just lie and tell them you’re Amish. They lie all the time, so it’s perfectly fair.
I have no qualms about lying to the government, but this is my employer. It’s way easier to have self righteous indignation when you’ve done nothing wrong. I refuse the shot, strictly because I don’t want it and I don’t needd any other reason. Force me under coercion and I will sue.
Lie to them, in this case, it’s fair. Then sue if they complain about it.
The one thing I will sue my employer for is if they try to make me take part in any racism shit like CRT. I’ll sue their fucking pants off and then take them for their underwear and socks.
If you lie to them, be prepared to produce your bought and paid for CDC card. And be prepared to get caught later when the national database is made available to employers.
And possibly charged with falsifying a government document.
Best option: claim a religious exemption. Do a little research and find a religion/spirituality/something that says “no vaxes”. They can ask for some backup for your claim.
Official EEOC Guidance. You’re looking for Section A – Definitions. THe bit on employer inquiry reads:
“Best option: claim a religious exemption.”
Umm, that’s exactly what I just said.
Or, just tell them you’re a Buddhist monk and it’s against your religion because it might harm a living thing, a virus. You know, Buddhist can’t even kill spiders, it might be your cousin or something.
Wait… where’s the hipster juice!?
NY Gov Cuomo: “We have to knock on those doors, and we have to convince people, put them in a car and drive them and get that vaccine in their arm. That is the mission.”
In some places, they call that kidnapping and forced medical experimentation.
Hey Trashy, is the newest monocle actually supposed to erase the new comment counter every time I post a reply? The other thing I’m getting is sometimes when I hit the reply button, it refreshes by it self and erases the counter too.
There’s a setting in the menu called “unread comments persist”. Make sure that’s on.
In my options slide thingy, there’s no option for that. Just, include option links, set server time zone, don’t load comments and compact comments. I had the reply button problem and it caused me to reinstall tampermonkey and monocle. This is what I got and the reply button issue persists.
Use Eyepiece instead?
I don’t think Trshy is maintaining Monocle.
Eyepiece fixed me up. Thanks.
Yeah, go for a ride with Cuomomafioso, sure.
‘Wait, how’d I wind up at this dock, I thought I was going to get the vaccine?. ‘Hey Guido, get a load of this guy’.
Geddafuckouttahere!
Railroad cars?
Those are full of dead seniors from the nursing homes.
Works for elections, it can work for this!
WTF?
Have you no shame? I guess not.
imageine if hte rolls were reversed!!!
