lol I'm dying

What's the raccoon doing that's a problem? Can CNN not use footage with raccoon in the background?

I’ve heard a bunch of smart people warn against this but I did notice gates was out there too. I just hope we learn lessons and prepare but given one major political part exists to cut taxes I’m skeptical. I mean shit, they’re not doing anything about one that is hammering us now forget doing something about a hypothetical future pandemic.

Well, I can't speak for your fucked up nation--if Trump is re-elected that's like another plague all on its own; but for those of us in sane countries, yeah, I think we'll be a lot less complacent about such warnings from now on.

Another bit of good news is there are signs in the offing of possible new methods of treatment and prevention; I don't recall any actual details at the moment, to be honest, but one thing involves Crispr gene editing, I think.

If we could leave all the dead people aside, you could say there was some good to come of COVID for the very reason that it will likely put us ahead of the curve if we get something worse next time.

 

[Andy Capp]

But Gates was only warning about the lack of disaster preparedness because his plan was to use the unpreparedness for mass microchipping, etc.

I actually know people IRL who think that makes sense.

We are so fucked.

Get out the vote, motherfuckers. You guys need to turn out and defeat these Republican hypocrites in a massive landslide and shock those nutjobs back to reality.

You ever tried to get a raccoon to sign a release?

You do you but I want to get back to Japan. I really miss the place and it's been several years now. And I need new clothes. I was spoiled by doing my clothes shopping there because they tend to fit me really well even right off the rack. Hard to find anything I like in little ol' PEI.

So, as if you needed another reason to come here, a disc golf course will open soon.

Charlottetown getting free-to-play disc golf course

Your island already has one of the very best courses in the world yo. From what I've seen, it's stunning:

City people don't know how to handle wildlife.


Granted, Braxton was looking at a goddamn bison walking towards him so I get it.

Yeah, bison, although even cuter than raccoons in my opinion, are substantially more threatening. They're like Rousimar Palhares in animal form.

The amount of DUMB you see in a place like Yellowstone is insane. People walking up to elk that are sitting outside of giftshops or ones that a Commissioner I knew saw. A mother with a like 3 year old in one hand and a camera in the other almost running in the direction of a cow moose with it's baby.....

Charles Lindbergh blamed jews for getting us into WW2 lol.

Well, political terms are always fluctuating and subject to the whims of the climate they're being used. So we can "but actually" until the cows come home for just about ANY term of political discourse: democracy, freedom, capitalism, socialism, left, right, dictatorship, etc.

It's just a matter of stating your case, being honest, and hoping your audience is honest as well.

If Hitler dies in 1939 I'm pretty sure he doesn't become THE face of evil in the West, but he's certainly a right-wing despotic criminal. He was already persecuting Jews during the 30s and had fully embraced lebensbraum.

And yeah, left wingers have had anti-semitic statements since at least Marx, that's nothing new. They ARE European, after all. The big difference is that persecution and execution based on race/ethnicity has been almost exclusively a right-wing thing. You could even argue it's been THE right-wing thing during the 20th century.

There have been many right wing movements in the 20th century- but you are right, that the flashiest of those were European ones of the interwar years. There were other strains though, some which have been more influential than you might think.

It's just a moose, settle down.
