  1. In this timeline, it absolutely makes sense that a former heroin junkie who literally had a worm living in his brain because the motherfucker couldn't pass up bushmeat is trying to undo decades of work that eradicated a lot of horrible diseases.
  2. Or you get elected to a second term, four years later.
  3. And Florida getting rid of mandatory vaccinations for certain diseases for schoolchildren is the outcome of this. Make no mistake, Texas is considering ditching the requirements for schoolchildren to get certain vaccines as well, but from what I've heard, our little dustup with measles spooked some folks and/or embarrassed them. They did not like being mocked for making measles great again. Part of the problem is, at least in the case of Florida, you have a bunch of gen-Xers making the call, and outside of chicken pox, none of us have really experienced any major preventable diseases in large numbers, before there were vaccines, and our one big outbreak, COVID-19, was mismanaged from the start and became politicized. You would have thought though that it would have shaken up a lot of us - after all, it was our parents and aunts and uncles (and even grandparents/great aunts/uncles) or friends' parents/aunts/uncles that were dying from it, but team political bullshit and all. Things like polio - that was something that an older relative might have been affected by (or killed by) a decade or two before we were born, and we didn't experience it first-hand with classmates or cousins our age.
  4. BF1942 one of my favorite all-time games, and I occasionally re-install it and get it up and running. Been a few years, may have to re-install it again. That and Tribes 2 were such a blast with co-workers after work.
  5. Could anybody blame them if we start killing them to distract from other stuff?
  6. We should start a pool on how many Venezuelans we kill in the next week.
  7. I can't decide whether he's going to keep his job or not. Probably not. I don't know though, his fate is in the hands of Laura Loomer.
  8. You’re not really paying attention, are you? RFK Jr has made it an obsession of his to get COVID and other vaccines shut down. He’s loading up various departments or boards with anti-vaccine types. Shit, Florida is dropping all vaccine requirements for kids, and Texas will absolutely follow suit. Not even the embarrassment over the measles outbreak will stop it. We are absolutely going to bring back polio, measles, mumps, etc. among kids because we have dumb drunks who think RFK Jr knows what he’s doing.
  9. There is a small group of people on the right who care about stopping pedophile rings. Apparently it consists of the people behind Project Veritas and MTG.
  10. Gonna be a lot of people seeing clips from this week's show and who are absolutely confused on what side they should take.
  11. If RFK Jr is against it, you need to get it.
  12. Their take in the Asian pop-up stores was perfect. Good episode.
  13. I actually partly agree - it was not political to me, it was partly them just streamlining shit. I think they have long ago hit their ceiling on attracting new customers, and a large chunk of their existing audience is aging out of CB (and by aging out, I mean dying of old age). Ironically, I saw family members bitching on FB about it, and many of them are nowhere near a CB. But I wouldn't put it past some marketing type to push the idea of a temporary logo change just to stir shit up and remind a lot of people they still exit. I wouldn't be surprised if they got a small bump after announcing they'll stick with the previous logo. And the gift shop does need to shake things up - I've never seen so many people browsing stuff they have no intention of buying.
  14. By the way, given how our governor is desperate to try and one-up Florida way too often, I fully expect the State of Texas to ban mandatory school vaccines as well. So we're absolutely bringing back all the greatest hits from the 40s, 50s, and 60s, because fuck them kids, they can have Ivermectine just like their parents.
  15. Well, it's out of a pool of 20,000 candidates and the ages out of the 4 actual candidates from that pool (the other two were reserve, of which there are many thousands) are: Take a sample of 20,000 older Americans, and in any given week or two, one or two will probably kick the bucket. Now shift that pool to right-leaning Americans who maybe eschewing certain medical practices that keep you safer as an old adult (say vaccines), and you'll probably get a higher number of deaths. Don't see why it would be that much different from AfD candidates, since they have a lot of similar beliefs.
  16. Good luck getting a reporter to ask Trump about the stuff being released on September 8th or anything the victims put out. That White House press pass will get yanked within seconds. And that’s before Maxwell ends up walking out of the Club Fed over by Collie Station and disappears.
