Nah. If this board is any indication, Bernie supporters would rather vote for more Trump than Biden.
I'm sorry, every single dog owner I've come across that has had this 'no dogs on the furniture' rule are the same that don't waste a thought hitting or beating their animal. Every single one. They don't treat them like living things even if they have their 'own' beds. It's a disgusting attitude and just the tip of the iceberg that often filters through to other behaviors. If you're not willing to grant an animal the rights to your house, you don't deserve one.
Because they'reboot licking careerists that only give a fuck about their job. The entire media as an institution needs to be burned alive and ass fucked into their graves. All of em.
Chef José Andrés ( a real chef) has been doing this for years. He’s doing it now. He has his own organization too () He doesn’t just pop up in a crisis. Maybe he should go platinum blonde attention whore. That said, the more help the better so good on Guy.
Interesting article from a trusted source, these guys were responsible for getting the UK to change how they reacted. Basically in a rough estimate they feel two thirds would of died soon anyway. Imperial College London modelling, used to inform government, has suggested 500,000 could have died by August in the UK if the virus was left to rip through the population. It also warned the government's previous strategy to slow the spread by asking those with symptoms to self-isolate and shield the most vulnerable could have led to 250,000 deaths. Now, it is hoped the lockdown will limit deaths to 20,000. But that does not mean 480,000 lives are being saved - many will die whether or not they get the virus. Every year, about 600,000 people in the UK die. And the frail and elderly are most at risk, just as they are if they have coronavirus. Nearly 10% of people aged over 80 will die in the next year, Prof Sir David Spiegelhalter, at the University of Cambridge, points out, and the risk of them dying if infected with coronavirus is almost exactly the same. That does not mean there will be no extra deaths - but, Sir David says, there will be "a substantial overlap". "Many people who die of Covid [the disease caused by coronavirus] would have died anyway within a short period," he says. Knowing exactly how many is impossible to tell at this stage. Prof Neil Ferguson, the lead modeller at Imperial College London, has suggested it could be up to two-thirds. But while deaths without the virus would be spread over the course of a year, those with the virus could come quickly and overwhelm the health service. The death figures being reported daily are hospital cases where a person dies with the coronavirus infection in their body - because it is a notifiable disease cases have to be reported.
I'm getting sick and fucking tired of you running interference for Biden across every thread that involves Tara Reade's accusation of rape, calling for proof and more evidence despite the multiple allegations of inappropriate touching and harassment other women have also reported. Many of which is brazenly done on camera, in front of the rest of the world (some linked above). You've been downplaying her accusation since it showed up and no amount of "other people are saying/according to them" is going to change that. I see you. Turns out all of that is complete and utter bullshit and that you don't actually care about victims of abuse. You care more about burying a story to protect our probable nominee because you value that more than giving accusers a voice.
This is Resetera where most posters welcome all people joining them in their misery.
As long as China keeps its wet market trade, another virus pandemic is always in the future. Lots of exotic animals kept in horrid conditions, sick and defecating on the animals in cages below, being chopped up into meat and remedies for the whackos that think eating such meat will make them stallions in bed. THAT shit's gotta stop. Hopefully the whole world, after suffering from this virus together, can muster up a backbone strong enough to sanction China. When it was discovered that SARS originated by a special kind of wild cat they sold at one of their wet markets, China outlawed the sale of that cat... then when SARS cases went down, basically said, "Okay people, we can sell that wild cat meat again!!" The United Nations and other global groups should also adhere to a new law: "People, stop eating weird, sick animals!"
It’s unreal that people keep supporting the current EU. I’ve post a screen which said that between 2011 and 2018 the EU commission sent 63 recommendations to reduce public spending in healthcare and 45 recommendations to reduce support for people with disabilities only to enforce fiscal consolidation. This union has been a COMPLETE DISASTER from every point of view. Even social wise look at what was happening in France before Covid. We need to go back pre maastricht as soon as possible. If Italy will be forced to use the ESM ( austerity for years ) i’ m gonna leave for good.
We really need to rethink the EU once all this is over. Germany has been stealing medical supplies from other countries for weeks...
It's hilarious to me that so many people hate voice chat in online games. According to ERA, everyone online is a racist, homophobic, sexist bigot. Yeah, there ARE assholes online, but the vast majority of people are well adjusted folks. Hearing some dumb 13 year old white kid say "nigger" doesn't offend me. Id rather not hear it, but I'm not gonna lose sleep over it. I'll just mute his dumbass and keep on moving. Far more bigger things to be angry about honestly. I don't make excuses for shitty people. I just expect it. Not to sound mean, but some folks need a thicker skin. We shouldn't tolerate hatred. We also need to do our part to shape the world into what we want it to be. We can't be idle and complacent, just hoping it happens. But it sure as hell won't happen over night either.
This is cute how you all are falling for the same Russian propaganda you accused the right of. They know they can continue to exploit your sour grapes that Bernie failed and keep going after Biden and building resentment. This woman has told her “story” 3 different times already and has changed key details each time it didn’t land how she presumably wanted. and of course she wrote an off the rails letter praising Putin that conveniently got deleted. youre all still to easy and it’s sad that the far left can fall victim to the same misinformation as the (now just regular) right.
I am convinced Greta Thunberg started this to deal with Climate change had sex with 3 bats. Then ate their penis
holy crap lmao Assuming this bears out on election day, how is this helping progressives? How does getting beaten 65-32 by an allegedly dementia-riddled rapist who's been hiding in his bunker for the past few weeks help advance his policy goals and his "movement"? It's embarrassing.
seeing liberals morphing into trump supporters over this accusation has been wild. but not surprising. scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds etc.
Damn, and I thought Schreier’s blatant silence on Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo’s use of slave labour was bad.
There seems to be alot of people in this thread convinced that Biden did this, in that case why would this woman not sue him? Any of you got a good explanation for this?
That's a weird thing to say. Not sure what triggered you so bad. Maybe the stuff you've donated to the hospitals and other places are better and work better. I don't know.
The Last Samurai isn’t a white savior movie. People that believe it is don’t know what they’re talking about.
Maybe the Japanese just really hate human contact ...maybe having very low sex rates was their master plan to out live everyone?
why do you have a hardcore marxist/maoist as your avatar if you're this passionate about defending a neoliberal american-imperialist war criminal from fair criticism of his inability to form coherent sentences and then you have another poster on this page talking about how sacred american capitalist democracy is with an avatar from noted anarcho-communist urusula k le guin I would point out most of the libs here seem to have no idea what the art they consume means, but this is a video game message board so
it is unfortunate that someone giving Christian advice is now banned because his advice is deemed 'Peddling Dangerous and Inappropriate Mental Health Advice'. Who is the authority who sat and decided Christian advice falls into that category and all the rest of the things shared are the more appropriate answers? There is a lot of hypocrisy here and many are guilty of the very things they used to accuse Christians of. I notice a lot of depressed, suicidal and hopeless posts on this site compared to many other places I have seen and been a part of. At some point, it might be helpful to realize that something in your moral codes or philosophies of life is not working out. You accuse Christianity of indoctrination without having the self-awareness that hatred of all things Christian either from your schools or 'self styled' skeptics has had just as much of an indoctrinating effect on you. Hi , I am David from Ghana and I am a Christian, meaning I have had my sins forgiven through the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This is not something any church or priest can confer on you but is a supernatural work of God in the heart of man and transforms us from the inside out. You cannot grit your teeth to be Christian or to plod away at your problems. It takes the free grace of God. As he has loved me, I also love you enough to offer you actual help and to anyone whose heart has not been so hardened either by sin or by this unbelieving world. Do find below some helpful links that will truly help you and show you for the first time what it actually means to find help in God If I am to be banned, so be it but remember when any of you comes face to face with the Lord, that at least someone cared enough to tell you. God bless you all!
This mexican piece of shit tried to kill a 2 yo kid, 6yo, and their parents.
This issue, spread over various threads, has exposed what progressives on this forum already knew: Most of the membership here are rank and file moderate Democrats who lean in hard regarding identity politics but who also seem to fall into formation with neoliberalism, corporatism, imperialistic military intervention, etc. Go to a real progressive space and you won't see people praising Hillary Clinton or hand-waiving away Obama's illegal and egregious use of drone strikes. It is what it is.
Next time you post bullshit like this, please start with "People who vote for Biden want the lesser of two evils". Saves me a lot of time without having to put you on any list, thanks in advance.
All ballots due by the 10th, with results expected by April 11th. Results expected by... seriously, May 22nd? What is this, California? It's... not really a caucus anymore, huh? Well, c'est la vie. You need to have made a ballot request by the 31st of March, so I hope everyone in WY did. For everyone else, results are expected by the 17th. This is a Big Deal Election, with the fate of the State Supreme Court in the balance, but it's worth repeating: practice social distancing. If you can vote by mail, do so. Already got pushed back once, and it'll probably get moved again, assuming it hasn't already and I just missed it. Soooooo in a move that was technically illegal, but still probably a good idea, DeWine basically pressued the courts into letting him cancel in-person voting and move the date. We should have results... at some point. That said, there's reports of ballots not getting mailed out to all registered voters, so check your registration and see if you can get your hands on one. And... that's it. Unsurprisingly, quite a bit got canceled this month, on account of quarantine (WASH YOUR HANDS).
The curve of number of dead relative to the number who recover has been flattening. See Worldometers, they have the graph. That is good news. But my worry is three things: 1- That the spread is only starting in poor countries, yet it is taking everything and then some to try and deal with this in the developed countries and the later will buy all the medical supplies needed to keep people safe. 2- We still seem to be missing something obvious about why this hasn’t been so deadly in Japan, and there has to be a better answer than “they are hiding it”. 3- People say this is conspiracy theory but I don’t see why: I still think the outbreak of vaping-related lung injury/illness was actually Covid which was simply supercharged if people were vaping with products laced with vitamin-e acetate because it helped the virus bind itself to the lungs. There is still no culprit identified. I’d be really curious to hear from someone who knows more about this stuff if it would have been possible for the virus to not be noticed in those cases because we would not have been looking for it at the time. The symptoms are extremely similar, people end up on ventilators, getting or dying of pneumonia, and even the CT scans of lungs are pretty much showing the same. If that is the case, the CDC would never want to admit they missed this, ever.Back in September, the vaping-related illness was spreading like a virus:
It is not about religion or religious activities or what denomination (baptist, catholic, church of god, methodist, etc) you are apart of. It not about any pastor, the pope, preacher, or bishop. None of those can save you. Only believing in Jesus Christ and him only can save and free you. You have to believe in the death, the burial, and the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Pray and ask Jesus to free you from this addiction and believe that he can. No one is saying don't seek professional help but you need to Jesus to truly set you free. My testimony: I had a porn addiction myself a few years ago but for many years since my 20"s (50 now) I masturbated every night to the point I couldn't go to sleep until I did. At some point, I got heavy into porn especially pornhub even did some live chat with girls. I was out of control until a few years ago I accepted Jesus Christ as my lord and saviour before that I was a pretend christian (christian in name only). Jesus free me from my porn addiction and I don't masturbate anymore either. Jesus can free you too.
Youre creating your own conclusions, none of which are supported by this study. Find a new one. This one deals with the combined effect of transmission reduction and travel limitations and has concluded that under a moderate(.75) and strong(.50) reduction in transmission then travel limitations of 90% or more have a strong effect. They also show the effect of a 40% travel ban for comparison(notice how the number goes down when you increase the travel ban)Good advice, you arent capable of interpreting data correctly.Repeat it some more until you understand it.
Pro lifers: abortions reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Also pro lifers: lol who cares about a new virus which kills thousands every day?
Happy primary day! Woke up to see Trump retweeting Jill Stein's conspiracy theories about Biden's cognitive abilities. Now with Sanders playing footsie with the idea in his Fox News town hall and Cenk & Chapo pushing the same angle, it looks like the garbage people Voltron is finally coming together! Gotta love seeing Trump, Dr. Jill Stein, B. Sanders, Cenk, Fox News and Chapo all coalesce around one idea
China should stay isolated from the rest of the world until they tackle what's causing deadly new diseases to originate there on a regular basis. And there should be international oversight they're complying
This is true, and it is not transphobic. It is unfair to require a teenage girl to compete physically with a person that has been a testosterone factory for years, which is what a teenage boy is, regardless of how they identify. You all have the moral high ground in a lot of these arguments about LGBTQ rights, but not this one. You're not going to win this one, no matter how many people you ban.
if only americans and their media were honest about the misery, murder and exploitation they historically have commited - including in their own country, that its only theirs thanks to genocide - id take their complaints and reports seriously. Also, id point to their president and to the democratic front runner being pathological liars, with media cumplicity. Where are the biden sexual assault news on your mainstream media?
Just imagine how much more equipment would be available right now if Trudeau didnt send 16 tons to China a month ago.
You've spent this entire thread smugly shitting on Bernie and Bernie's supporters and injecting passive aggressive conflict at every opportunity. Kindly fuck off.
As a lurker who came over after Neogaf, I find myself checking the site less and less. - The trigger happy ban policy is absurd. I get the impression users are scared to have an opinion that doesn't fit the mods agenda. This leads to nothing more than echo chamber with no real discussion to be had. Imagine in your personal life if you shut down every conversation where you disagreed with someone. - Awful topic threads. The same posters over and over posting personal topics that are of no interest to anyone but themselves, to get a sense of validation that I assume is absent in their own lives. - Negativity and toxicity. The constant bickering is exhausting. It feels like everyone is playing morality top trumps, trying to out do each other and be faux outraged by any slightly divisive opinion. - I hate Trump as much as anyone, but the constant daily threads about him and his party on here are depressing. It would be nice to have a break for a bit. I swear posters get off on posting about his latest bullshit. We get it. He's a total prick. - Opinion threads posted as fact like a BuzzFeed clickbait headline. - Threads with people threatening to take their own lives. This is a serious topic obviously, but it seems to be the same people over and over who never take onboard any of the genuinely thoughtful and caring feedback from other posters. I know this is a complicated topic, and these people deserve and need attention and help, but I wish just they would help themselves. I feel like stepping away from Era and its negativity would probably do them some good. It's just all so tiresome. I think I'm done with the forum, checking it out of a daily reflex doesn't add anything positive to my life tbh.
So I've heard that you can boost your immune system by masturbating. Well I'll see you guys later.
For christ's sake yes, we should listen and take them seriously. But you should also the the police and the justice system do their job. We live in a civilised society were the court still decides whether you're guilty or innocent; not mobs on the internet who think they know everything. Acting like an angry mob every time a victim comes forward doesn't help them at all.
It is absolutely black and white. China is directly responsible for the virus spreading to humans in the first place because of their barbaric wild animal markets. China is directly responsible for the virus getting out of control in China because they did nothing for MONTHS in an attempt to suppress the news. Because China did nothing for months, they are also directly responsible for the international spread of the virus.
