    LBGTQ

    Come on, guys. You all know it's different if you do it at Homecoming in high school. It's just like wearing black face or a Nazi uniform at a fancy dress party if you're a governor, prime minister, or a prince. First they came for my vas deferens.

    What about pseudointellectuals? Asking for Ana.
  3. This is my second go-round, despite 5 shots. Pretty sure I got it from the fat guy sitting on top of me on my SW flight back from Miami 10 days ago. I don't think it's breaking news that several agencies have reached different conclusions, each of differing levels of confidence, as to the source of the outbreak. I wasn't intending to question you for posting the report, it's all over the news today. I just meant to point out that it's hardly surprising that the FBI might have reached that assessment given the other assessments that have already come out. Without going CR or Q-tard, there is a significant population (many who post in this forum because they think the CR is icky) who harbor this exact theory, and look for anything to support their confirmation bias. Implicit in many of the posts in this very thread is this presumption. OK you got me. I overlooked the "low confidence" point. It doesn't appear that anyone has a firm opinion supported to a level of high confidence of anything. I think we all agree that China has been particularly obstructive here, and justifies a reasonable level of suspicion as to its motives.
  4. This really isn't groundbreaking news, and the FBI's assessment is far from a conclusive determination. What does appear to be most likely is that however it made its way into the human population, it was not genetically engineered or released intentionally. From the DNI website: "The IC assesses that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, probably emerged and infected humans through an initial small-scale exposure that occurred no later than November 2019 with the first known cluster of COVID-19 cases arising in Wuhan, China in December 2019. In addition, the IC was able to reach broad agreement on several other key issues. We judge the virus was not developed as a biological weapon. Most agencies also assess with low confidence that SARS-CoV-2 probably was not genetically engineered; however, two agencies believe there was not sufficient evidence to make an assessment either way. Finally, the IC assesses China’s officials did not have foreknowledge of the virus before the initial outbreak of COVID-19 emerged." The report goes on to note that the intelligence community remains divided on the most likely origin of COVID-19 (with which I'm currently suffering, BTW). https://www.dni.gov/files/ODNI/documents/assessments/Unclassified-Summary-of-Assessment-on-COVID-19-Origins.pdf
  5. Per the googles it’s downloadable content. Whatever that is. (I don’t play video games).
  6. Popped positive again today. Thought maybe I was on the back end of it but have had off and on chills, nausea, and fatigue. Looks like I'll be staying home this weekend. If this lingers into SXSW I'm gonna be pissed.
  7. I think he's referring to why they never take a shit.
  8. What is this Book of Boba to which you refer? The Boba Fett series with the awesome Power Rangers air bikers?
  9. Who cares if they're consuming edibles? Landlords don't prevent tenants from drinking alcohol. If you have a no smoking provision in your lease that would cover marijuana smoking too. Also, if evidence of alcohol use can be offered in custody cases I don't see why evidence of marijuana use couldn't be as well. It just wouldn't be "criminal" conduct. That's stupid.
  10. 5'9" and 200 is borderline obese. 205 puts him over the line.
  11. Interjections (Hey!) show excitement (Yow!) or emotion (Ouch!). They're generally set apart from a sentence by an exclamation point, Or by a comma when the feeling's not as strong.
  12. No I was taking about the English period drama set at the end of WWII. Subject is spycraft by the OSS in England and the beginnings of the Cold War. The lead actress looks like a taller, thinner Haylee from Modern Family. I bit the bullet and binged today to help me through my COVID quarantine. It was decent. Not fantastic but worth a watch.
