Well, it's the anti-car left doing this.
It's the mask nazis constantly breaking their own mask rules.
It's liberal celebs demanding everyone wear masks that are constantly photo'd without their masks.
Oh? And you have photographic evidence of the Conservatives are actually wearing theirs?
Hubris is not limited to the Liberals!

If you actually read the article in the link, you can say "every".
OK - you lead with the fact that she's the 4th person ever "cured" - I'll lead with the fact that it didn't require "baby-killing" stem cells, and didn't require her to be White.
Happy now?
That's a rhetorical question - you are incapable of being happy!

How many black guys did Kyle Rittenhouse murder in Chicago?
Unfortunately, he missed YOU
Oh, is that your only comeback?
You (and a couple of others) like always refused to look at the arrest documents, which talked about Antifa logos on his stuff. Either the cop lied, or the DA is soft on crime.
Sorry, but there were no Antifa logos anywhere on any of his things... made-up fake news.
Our Sheriff, and our DA's office are certainly NOT soft on crime (don't get me started down that rabbit-hole!)...
You, however, are soft-in-the-head.
The ACTUAL Sheriff warned in his ACTUAL news conference at the time of the arrest that the early reports of Smith being tied to Antifa had no evidence to support it.
The news conference where they announced his release from jail repeated that information.
OMFG! Someone in Right-Wing, Q-Anon fueled media made up facts to support their story! Shocked! I'm just shocked, I tell you! What's next? White people getting speeding tickets too?
@raphjd said in Black Nationalist and liberal darling charged with attempted murder of Louisville mayoral candidate:
Umm, you dumb ass, Eric Adams, a New Yorker uses the term cracker for white people.
I never met any white person that called themselves crackers or honkies. I have met plenty of blacks that did though.
WOW. All that bullshit to avoid talking about the actual topic.
I've given examples of whites - here in Florida - calling themselves crackers (and being proud of it!). And again, there is a current - modern day - Cracker Trail that is named by, maintained by, and advertised by the Great State of Florida!
Eating hominy grits for breakfast is more common in the South than up in the New England States - but that doesn't mean they don't exist there!
I'm sure some Scottish troll has used the term cracker at some point - that doesn't change its etymology or more common use!
Cracker is not synonymous or equivalent - on any level - with the n-word.
In terms of being a purely pejorative term, the closer cousin is Honky
But, there isn't a really similar word that's used by Blacks in a pejorative way, but used by Whites as self-referencing without the pejorative connotation...
You're using a similar, overtly and intentionally flawed comparison - in much the same way you claim that Black racism somehow excuses and outweighs White racism (of course, all the while, IGNORING racism not associated with skin tone!).
You're like a kid with a new record-player, but only 1 record: you keep playing the same song over and over again!
@raphjd said in Scotland - Green MSPs looking for people who 'self define' as disabled to apply for job:
If you want your disability welfare, you have to register with the state. That's how it works in the UK.
BTW, I'm blind today, not sure how I'll self identify tomorrow or even later today.
Not everyone with a disability needs a welfare check!
Some of us with a disability manage just fine WITHOUT being on the dole, thank you very much!
Nevertheless, my employers want to know if I have a disability - for at least 2 reasons:
1 - so they can make accommodations, if needed, and
2 - the Gov't insists that they report on numbers of disabled people that they employ
Not ALL disabilities are alike, and you don't have to be missing appendages to be considered someone with a disability. For example:
Just to "close the loop" here - I'm joking about @raphjd having an IQ of 80... I have no idea what is IQ might be... VERY intelligent people can be gullible too!

You don't have to be disabled, just self-identify as such.
As opposed to... forcing disabled people to register with the State?
Oh, I know - you'll have to submit to a medical exam to PROVE your disability! That's the ticket!
Yeah ... you're not a fascist!
@raphjd said in Black Nationalist and liberal darling charged with attempted murder of Louisville mayoral candidate:
...
This was DOMESTIC TERRORISM, but liberals believe only "crackers" can be domestic terrorists.
...
Your understanding of US culture is truly amazing... but I think the term you wanted was HONKY
The term "cracker" is generally reserved for whites in the South (also, typically poor). (How would I know? I live in Florida)
It should also be noted that, much like the Black culture's adoption of the n-word for referring to themselves, Whites in rural GA and FL used to refer to themselves as "crackers" to indicate that their ancestry was right there - they weren't "recent" immigrants. In fact, former FL Gov. Lawton Chiles (a Democrat) used to claim often that he "was looking for that old-time cracker vote".
Finally, as the final "nail in the coffin" of using "cracker" as white-equivalent of the n-word: There is an official "Florida Cracker Trail" - a hiking trail that cuts through Central FL along what were once cattle trails through the brush and swamps.
Even so, while the majority of whites refer to the n-word in this way - I'm not aware of any hesitance by anyone else to using the terms cracker or honky... perhaps they're just not as pejorative?
@raphjd said in Scotland - hypocrite liberals run the country:
Government ministers get the luxury of chauffeur-driven limos.
The rest of us will now have to pay a "workplace parking tax".
MSPs (Members of the Scottish Parliament) and MPs, and their staff are exempt from this.
The tax is coming in because the Scottish government is slashing the funding to local councils, so this is one of the replacement sources of income for the local councils.
The tax has no limit, it's just whatever local councils want to charge. Of course, they can make exemptions for those they like.
They will make exceptions for the people who pay the most to their re-election campaigns! No?
What I find HILARIOUS is your contention that ONLY LIBERALS are hypocrites!

I have a serious problem with that since she took the cupcakes to school and fed them to her students, despite her husband not being there. If he in fact did "force" her, she could have taken the cupcakes to school and disposed of them on the way or in the school dumpster.
Are you sure she wasn't a LIBERAL?
Sick fucks come from all sides...

@raphjd said in World's first woman is 'cured' of HIV after receiving rare - but dangerous - stem cell treatment to fight both virus and cancer:
She is the 4th to be cured. The previous 3 were men.
Every outlet I've looked at says she's #3 - but that doesn't really matter.
Again, SCIENTIFICALLY what's important is the use of umbilical chord blood (vs. stem cells) to introduce the genetic mutation, AND the fact that she's mixed-race.
@raphjd said in Breaking: Felony bomb charges dropped against Florida antifa member:
From Andy Ngo;
Garrett James Smith, the antifa member accused of bringing a destructive device to a right-wing rally in Clearwater, Fla. on Jan. 6, 2022, was released without bail to his parent's gated community home in the East Lake Woodlands on Feb. 10. His hired attorney filed a motion with the state for his client's mandatory release because the three felony counts related to making or possessing a destructive device were still pending. Law enforcement originally found a pipe-bomb looking device on his possession and a search of his room found more similar devices, along with tape and nails. But after forensic analysis on the devices by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the felony charges have been completely dropped. Bruce Bartlett, the prosecutor, wrote that Smith's devices "emit smoke but do not explode if ignited." He added Smith will only be prosecuted for the misdemeanor crime of loitering and prowling.
Once again, you insist on spreading accusations and innuendo as-if it is truth.
In case you're not sure, the County where Smith lives and was arrested - Pinellas County, FL - is a largely conservative county - in spite of the largest City (St. Petersburg - at the south end) being largely Democrat. Sheriff Gualtieri is a long-standing conservative "law-and-order" sheriff, and is probably second only to the "Showman Sheriff" Grady Judd (of nearby Polk county) in notoriety among the State's Sheriffs. He (Gualtieri) is well respected by Republicans and Democrats alike in this State (yes, this is where I live).
Unlike the tone and tenor of this posting, the FACTS are that ALL felony charges have been dropped against Smith after investigation showed that the things he was charged for were not true.... things that included his being a member of Antifa.
NOTE: To be clear... I'm not claiming that Smith is, or is not, a member of Antifa - I'm saying there never was proof (or indication, other than his clothes) that he is or was a member of Antifa, and claims otherwise are conjecture & hyperbole intended to elicit click-bait.
@raphjd (as he always does) fell for it: hook, line, & sinker!
@raphjd said in World's first woman is 'cured' of HIV after receiving rare - but dangerous - stem cell treatment to fight both virus and cancer:
The fact that she's a woman isn't what's news here. In fact, she's the THIRD person reportedly CURED of HIV infection.
https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/968544
She was cured in much the same way the others were: essentially, a complete replacement of her blood AND bone marrow (in her case, she had leukemia)
What's BIGGER news is that she was partially treated using umbilical cord blood taken from someone with the rare genetic trait that helps the body fight HIV infection to start with: "That particular sample of cord blood was selected for its genetic mutation against the CCR5 receptor on immune cells, CD4 T cells. That mutation makes the immune system resistant to HIV."
And even BIGGER than that: she wasn't White!
The mutation mentioned above only existed in northern-European bloodstreams. It was originally thought that the mutation was unique to them, and therefore unavailable to all but a few who would be "compatible" with this mutation.
The woman in this case is mixed-race (apparently with northern European in the mix somewhere), and so has put those assumptions "on their head"...
This is science people. The Docs think they have a clue of what can and what won't work, then they test it - and often (usually, in the case of research) find they're wrong. But in every wrong guess, they learn SOMETHING.
@setecho said in How to choose a good freeleech torrent to increase my UL?:
I'm pretty layman about it, once I downloaded a torrent that gave me 10 gb of UL. but most just give me kb
Which torrent criteria provide the most UL points?
I've suggested this approach several times before, and I stand by it:
The thing to remember about FreeLeeches is that, while the download is free, it's the upload (that still counts) that you're looking for! That, and because a lot of people NEED upload credits, they are VERY POPULAR to download!
So you look at FreeLeech items available right now: the vast majority of them already have TONS of seeders - and may or may not still have leechers.
MOST OF THE FREELEECH torrents you see right now will not help you!
So, when IS it a good time to get in on the FREELEECH wagon?
When you get in on a FREELEECH at the START of the period in which it's going to be free, there won't be many (usually) seeders yet - and the number of leechers will likely grow quickly. Get in there, get your files, and YOU can be one of those "at the start" who are seeding to dozens of leechers simultaneously.
If you actually want the content - FREELEECHes are good anytime...
If you want seed points from FREELEECHES, get in EARLY - otherwise, there's too much competition. It won't HURT you, but it won't help you the way you want it to, either.
Finally: if the goal is to seed, don't worry about the contents - if the new FREELEECH is masked Asian porn with Sumo Wrestlers - and that's not your thing - STILL download it at the start of the FREELEECH period! You can delete it later, but you want to be EARLY so that the people who DO want this content GET IT FROM YOU!
I hope this helps....
