“Prior transmissions of the strain did not have ‘close contact’.”
Featuring Prof. Joseph Allen, Professor of Exposure Assessment Science at Harvard University.
I’m more inclined to listen to experts in their field.

Democrats are not “of the left”, they are actually right-lite.
Aside from a tiny handful of Dems like AOC and Bernie - who would be classified as solid centrists in any other country - there are no politicians “on the left” anywhere at the Federal level.
Invermectin does that in vino.
in vino.
What does wine have to do with it?
And is it white or red wine, or can we run with just any old plonk?

Some variants like the Andes strain are developing the ability to be human-transmissible. It has been recorded jumping from one human host to the next in prior outbreaks. Once it evolves to be trivially-transmissible, all bets are off.
Even with the best medical care, Hantavirus has a 20% fatality rate.
Let’s just hope that conservatives continue being so anti-vaccine… a few more pandemics with human-transmissible highly-fatal viruses and maybe we can get that socialist utopia that the right always cock-blocks us from achieving.
2·5 days agoTL;DR: people don’t like being packed in like sardines. Give them space to have kids.
Credit card imprinters.
In western Canada the electronic ones used to be called sliders (from when the magnetic strip was still widely used, before chip & pin), and these were called strikers (from how the card was pressed or physically struck onto the paper).
2·7 days agoHand taser? Like, one of those easily-concealed ones?
A hand buzzer works, too, but it needs a certain amount of moisture on the skin to work, and foot dampness varies a lot more than hand dampness due to keratin and callouses.
211·8 days agoI wouldn’t say the feminists I know believe any of that stuff. Most of them are focused on poverty and rape and how those things affect women.
I think you need to read this.
You aren’t the tail which wags the dog in feminist circles. The man-hating gender bigots who lead all these feminist organizations are the ones who control the narrative. The more hateful, spiteful, and extreme they are, the more they get celebrated as role models for young women.
what a sad way to go through life.
Yes, being obsessed with reality and those pesky facts and evidence is just so sad.
That link? Absolutely yikes. Vanishingly few people understand how virulently misandrist feminism is.
And those authors make the worst incel out there look like a rank amateur.
I gave you the names of three prominent feminist authors who worried about exactly that subject, and you are still calling bullshit?
You are really mired in anti-reality, and blind to real-world facts.
Literally just makes up a bunch of shit
Except I don’t have to. Plenty of women have blazed this path.
Most prominently:
- Sally Miller Gearhart
- Mary Daly
- Lois Waisbrooker
With plenty more waiting in the wings.

Feminism isn’t about equality. It never was. It’s all about female supremacy, “special rights for me but not for thee”; about punishing men in the present for the sins of their fathers and grandfathers.
14·8 days agoFifteen people were killed in the terrorist attack on 14 December, including a 10-year-old child.
Yes, and how many innocent Palestinians were slaughtered in the meantime, either directly from Israeli weapons or the ensuing, deliberately-engineered famine and withholding of basic medical resources?
Like, tens of thousands? Hundreds of thousands?
Yes, Hamas is Evil. But in the aftermath of Oct 7, the Israeli government went all “hold my beer any watch this”. And they have exceeded Hamas in spades.
Israel has become the very same fascist and genocidal monster that Jewish people fled from nearly a century ago.
And here I am looking fondly at a beautifully restored 1986 F-150 flatbed on FB Marketplace. Ain’t no way they’re gonna fuck with me through that thing.

Yeah, it looks like Wikipedia says MGTOW is part of the manosphere and dominated by the far-right,
I think that specific article takes the prize for being by far the most blatantly inaccurate and downright socially poisoned article on Wikipedia.
It’s an extreme example of gender bigotry bias, and ideological “poisoning of the well” by female supremacists. It’s their straw man that they can point to and claim MGTOW is “misogynistic”.
The problem with most redpill communities is that they are recruiting fields for alt-right troglodytes. So most any incel forum will also be awash with appeals to emotion to blind the young men in there to the underlying alt-right messaging.
But MGTOW? Sure, some men are right-wing. But it’s hard to be of the right when the focus is on genuine self-improvement and brutally rational analysis.
After all, reality itself has a strong left-leaning bias.
You literally can.

Can’t argue with a single point.
The main downside is that № 9 is a gateway to the redpill “manosphere”, which if they enter into incel communities this can go very bad for their mental health and interpersonal relationships.
It’s why I have always pushed people like this to the MGTOW communities, which are all about camaraderie, self-improvement, rational self-assessment, setting healthy boundaries, and cultivating intrinsic (internal) motivation such that companionship of any kind switches from a psychological necessity to a value-added prospect, where the man can trivially walk away if the value just isn’t there.
The interior is facing one of the worst summers in decades. Hot, dry weather and water restrictions everywhere. Not entirely sure hyper-thirsty data centres are such a good idea unless their cooling systems are mostly closed.
