  1. WTF. Gif.

    I don't know where to start. I'm not sure I could bend my mind to follow along. wouldn't reptilian humanoids be cold blooded and suspect to an easily confirmed temperature check. If not what makes them reptilian? Were his kids hatched from eggs. Does his wife molt her skin?


  2. My kids last half of kinder and all last year of 1st grade have been wrecked by covid.
    He’s definitely behind in reading. Good to go in math, but during all online no,fucking way he could learn to read. Its bullshit.
    Hope you fair better.
    Were in RRISD.
    My work with reading to my kid nightly no matter what for 30 min since he was 2 and just buying him piles of books of various interests paid more dividends than anything else I've done in life. That and modeling reading for fun and then discussing books.
    I work my ass of on helping him learn how to learn, get organized and break projects down into manageable chunks.

    In the US you either need to budget a lot of time supplementing Public school, or go Private. IMO

    No judgment. it took serious effort to get my kid to enjoy reading. Once it took, it was easy. Around 5th grade he read Hatchet and we reread it on a hiking trip
    Finished it at 8k feet in July at 30 degrees in Yosemite in a tent. Truly great times.

  3. Research - texaggy and secreant are vectors in the spread of misinformation. 
    Yeah I like a peek at what crazy shit half this state including family are passing around. A couple minutes twice a year or so is enough. Actually hearing my families' shitty takes would just make me pissed at them. I can kind of ignore it then, but still be aware and unsurprised by dumb decisions and the political winds.
  4. Yet an apparently decent sized group that don’t trust big pharma have no problem taking ivermectin, which was developed by little old Merck 40 years ago. 
    Did my semi annual tour de Texags just now. Holy shit they are dug in, smug as fuck, and righteously dumb. Anyone not in agreement is a libtard. All Anti Vax, anti mask, its all a hoax, but still taking horse paste and smug about that too. "Chin diapers don't work, I'm smerter than all the Doctors around the globe." Fucking the same chicken 18 months later. Hunter Biden!. And Mike Lindell is legit and respected in their eyes whilst they watch his latest symposium of horseshit and incompetence..

    I know this board is prone to hyperbole but we also evolve as facts come to light. I mean I sprayed my groceries down with alcohol for a few months. I stopped that and can both laugh at myself and note I was being cautious until more was known.

    They can't move on from a position no matter how much evidence comes out. Not even a little.

    We are so fucked, there is no reaching these dumb bastards, and they revel in their own stupidity. If they step in dog shit and track it inside, they will find a way to brag on that too.

    We used to marginalize idiots, now they self-publish falsehoods and sit around eating this horseshit with a grin.

  5. As soon as someone says "China Virus" to me, I immediately stop talking to them.  From that one phrase I can tell whether I can have a rational conversation or not
    I got mildly harassed down on the coast for wearing a mask to buy ice. "scared of the China virus"? it's going to rip through those communities. I think I saw one other dude with a mask in POC and zero in port a, which was packed. Small sample size as I avoided people and being inside the entire trip.

  6. Getting a test last time around was the holy grail. I can't imagine people are even close to as likely to be tested- especially since the people getting sick are likely not vaxxed, and less interested in finding out if they are positive. That'd be my guess.  
    I got tested last week before going to see my mom- I have been traveling. Appointments were hard to find and our testing capacity has fallen off a cliff since May. Ended up driving to San Marcos.

    we spiked the ball well short of the endzone.

  7. How fucking dumb are you?  I’m not getting in a pro life v pro choice debate but I think the point Penelope was making is that if someone is arguing they have the right to do what they want with their body like not taking a vaccine then that applies to having the right to have an abortion also.  Now, and I know this will go above your head, but the vaccine issue affects the entire world and the abortion affects just the person having it and their family.  
    He is pretty damn dumb.

  8. The next school district over from me voted last night to mandate masks across the district. The vote was unanimous in favor of masks, while the asshats booed. Then an asshole flashed a nazi salute as they stormed out. 
    This is primarily an affluent, old money Pittsburgh neighborhood.
    Vote at 1:30:20, nazi salute at 1:31:30.
     
     
    Our school board meets tomorrow. Should be fun (sad). 
    Yinz have a lot of racist white trash.

  9. And yet, for decades we have forced children to be vaccinated to attend schools and we all but eliminated some diseases.

    And yet we regulate the hell out of the women’s reproductive decisions as well.

    But suddenly, this is personal? bullshit. It is political. It is political because Bad actors exploited idiots.
    The bulk of anti vaxers wilfully ingest horrible shit daily against thier own health interest. Shit that was manufactured to be cheap, profitable and addictive.
  10. The Wilke House in Savannah is a great meal. And occasionally college girls from the art school get drunk in the bars along the waterfront and then get naked in the fountain near Ellis Square.  Also, Forsythe Park is a pleasant place to run a few miles.  That’s really about all I know about Savannah. 
    That is about all I can offer as well. Definitely do Mrs Wilkes.
    wormhole is a great bar
  11. Ironically, she's very liberal (I think) and is on that super far left part of the horseshoe that bends back around and almost touches the psychotic right.
    Got ya. I have a few of those in my hood. Progressive, but Contrarian wackadoodles

  12. My anti-vaxx sister just told me not to worry because she knows over 75 people that have had Covid and they were all fine. Who the fuck knows that many people that have had Covid!?!  Either a) these are Facebook “friends” or b) she just hangs out with a ton of other anti-vaxxers that have spread this shit to god knows how many others. 
    Good lord. I know maybe 20 and almost all are right wingers / not taking it serious. That may answer the question.
  13.  
    This is why I keep encouraging people to wear a valved N95 with paper right now until we get this data. My read on it is that Pfizer wears off slightly sooner than Moderna. This is likely due to a combo of two things:
    1) Moderna's second dose is 3X larger than Pfizer's and produced more side effects, so possibly more immune response. 
    2) Moderna's second dose is delivered a week later than Pfizer. There is evidence this induces a stronger immune response. A couple of papers on this recently came out. 
    It will be a temporary boost and it may not even be a real signal. Pfizer was used earlier and in other countries that have been have been looking for breakthrough infections, while we really haven't been collecting the data until very recently. I strongly doubt it's much more than an extra month. 
    Both of them would be fine against Alpha, or Beta at the 6 month mark. It's Delta and some of the other variants packing nasty combinations of mutations that are the problem. 
     
    Why would you encourage wearing valved mask?
  14. Is there any talk of postponing school starts or temporarily going with remote learning? This seems like the absolute worse time to start school in the next couple of weeks as a wave is starting to hit. Feels like trying to put out a fire with gasoline.
    This will jam up ERs because when junior gets sick, parents will rush him to the ER.
    That's our concern dude.

    It's going to be awful.
