  1. Looks like the Surl has been lurking r/CyberStuck
  2. Again, you’re ignoring the instances where that was not the case. 40+ years into the AIDS pandemic, we still don’t know definitively in what species it originated or how it transmitted to humans. And the origins of the 2009 swine flu are still somewhat murky. Although a 2016 paper purported to resolve the issue in favor of Mexico, that was 7 years after the fact. So even if that group got it right, the definitive answer wasn’t remotely immediate. As usual, you’re cherry picking to create the illusion of a high probability in favor of your preferred (conspiracy) theory. But the actual probabilities are far more inconclusive.
  3. Your move, JNip.
  4. “Shots were fired at 6:11…” It was 1:11 AM in the Holy Land. Maybe this clarifies the shooter’s political leanings: ”He came unto his own, and his own received him not.” John 1:11
  5. Lulz. You say this as if epidemiologists always detect small clusters of animal-to-human transmission of a virus before it starts spreading human-to-human. But that’s not at all the case. For example, we had no idea HIV was a thing until long after it began transmitting between humans. The 2008 swine flu wasn’t detected until it was already spreading in human populations. To the extent it is understood that these diseases initially infected humans through animal vectors, that was determined only through hindsight investigation (e.g. by examining preserved tissue or blood samples). If you’re arguing that it’s improbable that an infectious disease would emerge naturally without us first detecting scattered animal-to-human dead end cases, you’re ignoring prominent cases for which that was exactly what happened.
  6. This shit could kill off 14-33% of Americans who use phrases like “face diaper” and “Fauci ouchie” unironically. So maybe not all bad?
  7. Maybe you should have listened to the last ten minutes, when he talked about the assassination attempt.
  8. Today‘s episode of It Could Happen Here offers some useful perspective on the upcoming election and potential second Trump term. Tldr: don’t panic.
  9. That’s using hindsight. Through the group stage, Uruguay looked like the best team in the tournament.
  10. Canada is proving the importance of a real coach. They have 1/10th of our total population, a weaker soccer culture, and fewer top flight players (maybe 3-4 players in top European leagues, compared to our 20-ish). But they’re outplaying an Uruguay squad that was looking like the best team in Copa through the round of eight.
  11. Callaway hat = Golf Prick, imo.
  12. This ref is an asshole.
  13. That’s like saying Reagan Republicans voted for tax cuts in order to trickle their wealth down to the middle and lower classes. Don’t confuse pretext for motive.
  14. It’s the latter. The audio is from the Knowledge Fight podcast. They play clips of InfoWars episodes and comment on / rebut them. It’s kind of a combo of MST3K and Daily Show. This dude has started animating classic clips from KF, and it’s glorious.

  16. No call when Darwin got hacked. He’s been getting raped up there and the ref has let Brazil get away with it all game.
  17. This ref is a doofus.
  18. He’s way over his head.
