  1. i distinctly remember, during the depths of covid, watching the 60 Minutes episode about the mRNA vaccines and Operation Warp Speed. they explained how they work and how they were different from traditional vaccines. and i sat there like 😮 bc the science was mind-blowing and i was astounded and so impressed with what the human mind could conceptualize and achieve in that moment in history. and after the segment ended i was just 'omg SIGN ME UP that is incredible!' and now measles are making a comeback.
  2. Brisket ain't special...our whole country is clowning. we're a bunch of circus freaks now.
  3. they are smart, they are our neighbors (and family members), and they want people to suffer. it's pretty clear.
  4. i think the issue is that lots of people do know who they are and what they are doing... and they like it. this is what they wanted. fucking shitty ass humans on this very board are still gloating and snickering. in just the last 24 hours a certain universally reviled POS poster is offering praise in the Elon thread lol but...they also think they are immune. they literally do not care about the terror and trauma being inflicted on others. but...they will. eventually. because nobody on this board actually qualifies as an oligarch, lmao. it just hasn't touched them yet bc like anything, the poorest and most vulnerable are the first to get hurt. truthfully, it hasn't directly reached most of us yet. those of us that have empathy and can critically think know what direction we are clearly and directly headed. so i think to @Thatguy's point... it's not that they need to 'see' it, it's that they need to feel it. and that won't happen until, as he says, the whole thing burns. these folks all went down together...
  5. wrong you demented nazi fuck, each day the nation arises to see what insane, stupid, cruel, regressively horrifying policies the ELECTED troll in chief is enacting. and every day is a little bit worse. i hope you in particular die a horrible painful death motherfucker, hopefully something that has you shitting your guts out for a month. iswis 🖕
  6. that sounds like a nightmare to witness. i know there are images you can't get out of your head. I'm sorry. apropos of fucking nothing, i didnt even know where to put this and i can't believe this thread is right here. i think I just saw a man die in the gotdamn waiting room of my heart doctor. like an hour ago. I'm here for a simple follow up in cardiac unit, dude was walking directly in front of me, between me and another guy, starts making terrible noises and gasping, stumbling, then just started falling me and the guy were closest and grabbed him to sit, he couldn't speak just these horrible noises, gasps, everybody in waiting room starts screaming, I'm hollering at receptionist that he's collapsed...a couple nurses run out and it's all 'he's crashing! no pulse!' within 90 seconds there are about 30 medical folks surrounding him, he's on the floor they're doing chest compressions, they rolled in a crash cart, shock him... oh, and also, my mate just happens to currently be in the ER in this same hospital for tachycardia or 'aflutter' or something, he's gong through some weirdness they can't quite pin down it's a teaching hospital so they're trying to figure it out, not a crisis he feels fine except for a resting HR of 136 lol but his pcp sent him here this morning to ER bc they were better equipped. so like a lot, all at once, and this poor guy is clearly having a heart attack right in front of me. like wtf. I kinda lost my shit standing against a wall out of the way. and then they call me back haha. (time gap) anyways, I'm in ER now w/ spouse, my appt went great* except for elevated bp and hr which doc said is understandable. mate is fine just bored and still trying to figure out why he's sitting here with 130 hr. I've calmed down, asked about the man, 'they got him back!' (they were hollering his name while it was happening so i asked about him, told them I was right there when it happened). this hospital is the fucking bomb, love the docs here. and if you're going to have a heart attack, not sure there's a better place than in the fucking waiting room of the cardiac unit at a big teaching hospital! wow. sorry for typos, I was all stream of consciousness there for a bit. so how's y'alls Wednesday? 😜 *fyi if you have persistent afib I cannot recommend having cardiac ablation enough! wish i'd done it before we went to Europe last year, has made a huge difference.
  7. not.a.peep. about anything. oh, wait...Ana is slightly disapproving of our DNI re-tweeting a right wing incel conspiracy theorist.
  8. i mean this is good to see and it offers a tiny glimmer of hope... but not much because they will and are just ignoring any ruling against them. like...the judiciary isn't full on maga? ok, yay. but what's the point? if there's no actual consequences... who gives a shit?
  9. Zeus:
  10. man, Texas has pretty much become cretin central 😒
  11. a sternly worded letter. i'm sure that will straighten him right out.
  12. so many friends! this lil guy is Toby and he just moved in 3 houses down! we're gonna try some reciprocal dog-sitting... it would be awesome to have someone who knows dachshunds right there! asleep, sitting up, with his face buried in the seam of the couch...
  13. if i lived in the mountains or forests of Colorado or California or Orgeon...or Tennessee or Texas or Montana or Kentucky or West Virginia or SO ON...i would genuinely be terrified.
  14. haha fuck you boomers this belongs in the leopard thread
  15. i mean there's a reason cults are cults. Jim Jones got like 1000 people to not only kill themselves but also their own children. so did David Koresh. a million people believe God used invisible ink to tell John Smith to fuck a bunch teenage girls. for all our higher functions, most humans are pretty damn gullible and malleable. Americans are not special. i think that's my big conclusion...our place will be no more exceptional than a billion others in history. of you can get there^ and embrace it, there really is a kind of calmness. just try for this and not this
