      @raphjd said in NYC announces Covid-19 vaccine mandate with no testing opt out:

      @bi4smooth

      Why are you trying to tell me shit I already know and have posted several times?

      Coronavirus is one of the 3 oldest VIRUS TYPES (you ass clown) on the planet.

      Either you are just a combative old twat who needs to lie about what I have said, through various discussions, or you have the memory of a gnat.

      Get your head out of Fauci's ass.

      C-19 is new because Bat Lady collected the samples in 2009 and Eco-Health, thanks to funding via Fauci, did GOFR on it.

      now you're just repeating stuff I've already explained is ridiculously misstated to the point of absurdity. Let's move on...

      @bi4smooth

      If you look, virtually all of the HOAX hate crimes are done by the left.

      Some are for political purposes, others are for personal gain and others are for getting out of trouble.

      None of them are "nuts". They are all dishonest assholes.

      It's like all the fake rape claims.

      I'm gonna let that absurd load of crap stand on its own. I think it stinks badly enough that 99.99% of people who read it will hold their nose and move on... just another pile of crap.

      You are a total ass clown.

      No fucking shit that Coronavirus is a type of virus, you twat.

      If you paid attention to what I say, you would know I've talked about the various specific viruses under it.

      You are such a dickhead that you need to fight because I am attacking your lord and savior who is responsible for this shit and you are butt hurt that I'm bringing it up.

      GOFR is worth a global pandemic or 2 said Fauci, and look where we are now.

      I don't know how you can have your head up his ass and your own ass at the same time.

      I know your simplistic view of the world - where, like in the James Bond movies, there are clearly Good Guys (who do only good things) & Bad Guys (who do only bad things) & everything falls neatly into Good or Bad - makes you feel like you can get a handle on these things, but REAL LIFE isn't like that.

      I've met tens-of-thousands (maybe even 100,000) people in my life, and I've NEVER met someone who was all good or all evil.

      And you didn't call COVID-19 "just a virus" and imply we should already know everything about it... no you said:

      Coronavirus is one of the 3 oldest virus types on the planet. It's been affecting humans (mammals, in general) since we came into existence.

      But "coronavirus" is to "virus" like "dog" is to "mammal"... that we know that there are coronaviruses (and dogs) doesn't mean we know all about all of them. FYI: Influenza and the "common cold virus"es (there isn't just 1 common cold virus) are also coronaviruses!

      However, the dog/virus analogy breaks down when we talk about mutations. Viruses are EXTREMELY SIMPLE organisms, so small changes in the genetic makeup can result in HUGE changes in the behavior and capabilities of the virus. Dogs are complex organisms, and most genetic mutations have little affect on the overall behavior and capabilities of the dog.

      COVID-19 is new - and technically, each of these new VARIANTS could technically be called new viruses... COVID-20, COVID-20a and so on... but these labels are for "regular people" like you and me - scientists have their own, different, names for each of them...

      ==

      You clearly think highly of Dr. Fauci - because you've chosen him to be your Covid-19 boogey man! And since I routinely call you out on your false and misleading posts, you assume that if I am "bad" (because I oppose your methods, if not sometimes also your ideas) and Fauci is "bad" - why then we must be collaborators (all the bad guys team up!) and that I must support Fauci in all things!

      You're absolutely SILLY in your child-mind that way...

      Dr. Fauci is an EXPERT in the field of immunology... that's all. He's not an authority, he's not a ruler, and he's not an autocrat... he's just a scientist, although he personally hasn't done scientific research HIMSELF in decades because he LEADS the department. Fauci doesn't control the virus (and didn't make it). His being an expert just means that people who know a lot about these things (which would NOT include you or me!) believe he knows a LOT about those fields, and they often seek (and often FOLLOW) his advise about them...

      I happen to be an EXPERT in the fields of computer infrastructure and security (several published articles and other papers in the real world)... that doesn't mean I control anything or anyone, it just means people acknowledge that I know a LOT about those fields, and they often seek (and often FOLLOW) my advise about them...

      Dr. Fauci isn't always right - even about immunology - any more than I am always right - even about computer security! We both are just human beings... not boogey-men, and not super-villeins ... just people, albeit people who know more than you about some things.

      FWIW: Even if you're not an EXPERT in some field, I'm pretty sure that there are subjects you know more than I do (or Fauci does)... the more I have learned in life, the more I have realized that I know very little about most things, and a LOT about only a very few things!

    • RE: Torrance police find 300 unopened recall ballots, with gun, drugs and mail, in sleeping man's car

      @raphjd said in Torrance police find 300 unopened recall ballots, with gun, drugs and mail, in sleeping man's car:

      @bi4smooth

      I do love how you keep defending these kinds of things.

      I guess the Carter/Baker Commission lied because ass clowns like you know best.

      I guess you are too high on the fumes from Pelosi's panties to know better.

      We heard how during the 2020 election, all manner of fraud, including accepting late ballots, signatures not matching, and many other things. But of course, you know best because Joy Reid, Rachel Maddow, Honest Joe, and the rest told you their version of the truth.

      No, you silly TWIT, I din't defend the guy with the ballots... but as I said in my original reply:

      Read your own references!

      The ballots were blank and sealed. They have no idea why he had them (at least not at the time the article was written): he could have been a Postal Employee, or he could have stolen them thinking they'd have checks in them - or he could have been an idiot, totally unaware of how elections are run, and intended to try to cast them a ballots -- which, as I've pointed out, wouldn't have worked! The key though is: THEY DON'T KNOW YET!

      Read your own references!

      I didn't (and still don't) defend this guy having a bunch of ballots he shouldn't have - and that clearly wasn't the point of my reply.... but you don't care about that, you just want to throw recriminations and pretend like you know something others do not so you can justify your BIG LIE that fraud cost Trump (but no other Republicans) the 2020 election... I know you're trying hard.. but you should perhaps follow the old adage: Try smarter, not harder

      Because what I don't SUPPORT is your absurd (likely because you only read the headline) assertion that this was evidence of actual voter fraud! (Even if the intent was to eventually commit fraud, he/they never got that far, so you "shot your wad" too quickly there!)

      @lololulu19 said in Torrance police find 300 unopened recall ballots, with gun, drugs and mail, in sleeping man's car:

      It's interesting that almost all voter fraud is done by democrats.
      There needs to be severe penalties for voter fraud, and they need to LOOK for voter fraud.
      For example, in the 2020 election in Atlanta Georgia, they have numerous video feeds of the staff of the voting precinct going home for the night.. except for one woman and her daughter. The two of them then pulled cases of ballots that were hidden under tables with sheets on top of them. And they tabulated those fraudulent ballots several times through the machines while everybody else was gone.
      Georgia is quite Republican.. except for the one tiny county of Atlanta. That one county flipped the state for Democrats.
      The USA is comprised of 2974 counties. Across the country, Donald Trump won 2,497 counties. Joe Biden: 477 counties. Trump won 84% of the counties - even WITH the massive democrat fraud.

      The idea that Secretaries of State and Supervisors of Elections do not look for - and find people attempting to vote illegally - is absurd on its face.

      What you're REALLY trying to say is: they needed to have FOUND fraud to explain why Trump lost... but, you silly twit, they DID look - in many cases, they did HAND recounts! There was no significant fraud! - YES, there was some attempted fraud - there always is! And sometimes there are mistakes - thats why there are paper records and recounts.

      The Atlanta example you cite has been widely debunked - not by Democrats or Republicans, but by non-partisan supervisors of elections -- not only in the Atlanta county you cite, but in other jurisdictions as well.

      And finally, the demographics of GA are a perfect example of the CHANGING demographics of the parties! (And no, there is not just 1 county in and for the City of Atlanta... the sprawl of the city means that Fulton, Cobb, Gwinnette, & DeKalb are all largely Democratic now...) The suburban counties a little farther out - like Coweta, Douglas, Fayette, and Henry - are quickly turning Blue! This isn't happening because of Democrat fraud - it happening because the Republican Party is more popular in RURAL locations, and the Democrats are more popular in URBAN settings. (BTW: I went to college in Atlanta in the 1980's - which is how I know the "layout" of the city reasonably well... that said, I think there are a couple of other counties that are purple-blue in the Atlanta area that I didn't think of... PLUS you shouldn't count out the smaller cities in GA - which are also turning Blue: Savannah, Augusta, Macon, & Columbus all have populations over 150,000!

      This is why RED states with large cities are turning Purple! The cities are growing FASTER than the rest of the rural areas, and as a result Dems are getting more people in the state overall. Florida was one of the first this happened to (and it continues here), but the successes of the cities in the other large Southern states is having similar effects in TX & AZ too!

      The problem we're going to have in FL (where I live now) is that people - especially in the suburbs - are LEAVING the Republican Party in DROVES. They're not going Democrat, they're just changing their party affiliation to NONE (Independent)! The operative question will be: how will they VOTE in 2022 and 2024! If they choose to abandon the Republican Party at the polls too, we will suffer EXTREME losses at the state level - where we (Republicans have been "in-charge" for decades now!)

      When your torrent client completes a download, stay connected. The tracker will direct other downloaders to your system to get parts of the file(s).

      NOTE: If you're using a torrent client on a portable device (phone or tablet) it is very possible that you cannot seed with that client.

      Also: it is possible to configure most clients to NOT seed upon completion... you will need to make sure that this setting IS NOT active for you...

      https://abc7.com/recall-election-stolen-ballots-vote-by-mail-torrance-police/10969902/

      Let's remember that, despite repeatedly having new cases of it, voter fraud does not happen in the US.

      You silly Trumpite! Not even the Democrat Supervisors of Elections say there was NO fraud in the 2020 election... only that there was no SYSTEMIC fraud, and no evidence of any irregularity that would rise to an amount that could have changed the outcome of the 2020 election... in any State, much less the Electoral College as a whole.

      Fraud happens... but even this wasn't that! This wasn't fraud (at least, not yet!)... read your own f--ing story, dude!

      This guy had ballots. Unopened, un-marked ballots.

      Now, maybe in your 3rd-grade-educated mind that meant he just had to open them & fill them out to successfully commit fraud & vote 300 times... but that's only because you think ELECTION ballots are as simple as your book-club ballots... and they are not.

      Each of those ballots are traceable to who they were mailed to. When they are received, they have to be validated. In this case, signatures have to match - among several levels of verification. Read more here, if you want.

      We've been doing this (having elections) for over 250 years now... we have pretty much made it foolproof, but not yet damned-fool-proof (fools can surprise you!)... The simplistic methods you seem to think could be used to alter the outcome of an election were accounted for over 100 years ago!

      And once again, you've hollered FIRE! when all there REALLY is to see here is another match!

      Umm, it's your lord and saviour that should know all about C-19, after all he's done with it.

      GOFR is worth a global pandemic or 2, is what he said and here we are.

      Bat Lady, Fauci and Bill Gate's Eco-Health should all know about this virus.

      Coronavirus is one of the 3 oldest virus types on the planet. It's been affecting humans (mammals, in general) since we came into existence.

      There you go again - showing your absolute ignorance!

      Using your logic (actually, lack thereof) we should know all about the Universe - every star in existence! After all, we've been looking at one since before we were bipedal!

      Ask a vet if you can treat a Yorkie the same as you can a Great Dane! But they're both DOGS! We should know all there is to know about DOGS!

      Coronavirus is a KIND of virus, not a specific one. This one is (shocking to you, i'm sure) NEW! What's more, it's mutating QUICKLY! (it looked like a tadpole last year, but a frog this year, and we're afraid it might look like a snaggle-toothed mammal next year!)

    • RE: Does the size of a guy's balls matter?

      @raphjd said in Does the size of a guy's balls matter?:

      It's called preference, not an absolute rule.

      I'm not questioning anyone's preferences... nor making any rules... all I'm saying is that if you allow yourself to be objectified in your own relationships (sexual or romantic), you're making a mistake. And self-objectifying yourself is something ONLY YOU can stop!

      My recommendation is to find mates (sexual and romantic) who like the whole you, not just your cock-and-balls. Your smooth (or bushy) chest, your round (or flat) butt, your blue (or brown) eyes...

      So long as it's not REALLY out of balance, having a small dick (or small balls) shouldn't be a deal-changer for people worth your time! If there is a REAL issue, talk to a plastic surgeon - there are such things as prosthetic testicles... but IMHO, that's way overkill!

      In my experience, guys who are attracted ONLY to "big, black cocks" (or "big balls") are not worth the price of a cheap dildo. (That's not to say that fantasizing about BBC is a bad thing - but fantasy should not control reality!)

      @raphjd said in NYC announces Covid-19 vaccine mandate with no testing opt out:

      @bi4smooth

      The NYC vaccine mandate has nothing to do with your contract unless you work for the city. Private businesses have to obey the mandate, so fuck your private contract.

      As usual, you want to spread a single-case argument to a broad-spectrum one... until your broad spectrum argument falls to pieces, then you want to bring it back to the specific.

      Still: Contract law is contract law. There are plenty of businesses in NYC that cannot enforce the vaccine mandate without consulting with - and getting a buy-in from - their own unions and other contracted employees.

      How many performers are in NYC? TV, Movies, Broadway? Virtually EVERYONE employed in that field is there on a contract basis (vs. traditional employment)... if the vaccine requirement goes against their contract, it cannot be enforced by the employer. City ordinances cannot (usually) void contracts.

      Your version of libertarianism is lockstep in the hivemind. Stalin would be proud of you.

      Your abilities in logic are equally astounding. Winnie-the-Pooh must be proud of you, too!

      No one is talking about murdering people, except you lunatics.

      Using comparative examples and allegory exceed your mental capabilities... I'll keep that in mind.

      How's this:
      Trump says: "The vaccine is good! You should take it!"
      You say: "The vaccine is bad"
      You are anti-Trump
      You are a moron

      I am fully vaccinated, under Scottish rules, for about another week when I am no longer fully vaccinated. YOR GODS keep moving the goalposts and taking our rights away more and more and you are happy with that since you are a "libertarian".

      This is exactly why I've said from the beginning that these "vaccine passports" are a ridiculous idea! The "goalposts" will continue to move! This virus is only known-to-man for less-than-2-years now... and it's changing right under our noses - literally while we watch it!

      What hubris to expect "science" to fully understand it already and have all the answers!

      What we have right now is a tiny drop of collected data (less than 2-years worth) and a population that insists that science share its initial guesses (ok, hypotheses) about it... and then gets all pissy when some of those hypotheses get proven wrong!

      More data = better science

      Remember when we thought it was spread on surfaces? Wipe everything down with antiseptic wipes? Wear gloves when you go shopping? Leave your groceries in the garage to kill the potential virus first? No need to wear a mask because the virus was on the surfaces, not in the air!.... OOPS! They were wrong! Turns out, the virus does NOT live for very long on surfaces, and the skin on our hands and feet do a FINE job of protecting us from what DOES survive on surfaces! Instead, this damned thing is EXACTLY what they initially said it wasn't: an AIRBORNE virus! And masks ARE needed, but gloves and antiseptic wipes not so much.

      You see that as a failure. I see that as "progress of knowledge" as a result of more data!

      More data = better science

      But, more data takes time. Time = deaths. Death of loved ones and people we know, not just statistics.

      So, we're doing the best we can, trying to save everyone we can... with the limited knowledge we have, but continue to strive to learn more... but of course, some people don't WANT saving! At least not until they're on a respirator, face down in a hospital bed in a corridor, gasping for each breath, and hearing the Grim Reaper coming thru the door & wondering if it's their turn... THEN they ask if they can get the vaccine!

      But as time moves on, WE WILL LEARN MORE! And that means the "hypotheses" will change, and that means the recommendations will change. (God help us if the guidance on wearing masks changes again! Your F--ing head would explode!)

      As long as they are in proportion to the dick, all's good.

      Too big or too small compared to the dick looks odd.

      No offense, but barring a situation where they look REALLY ODD, I don't think the size of your testicles will have any effect on your ability to have sex - or, more importantly, make love.

      Were you gifted with a set of equipment that is "porn ready"? You've already come to grips with that answer being a no (you say at the outset: "I think I'm ok in cock size - just over 6 inches" - and let's face it, 6-inch dicks are not common in porn!)... so stop worrying about it! Take a look at a site like Chaturbate sometime: there are as many kinds of dicks and balls as there as there are faces! Truly an INFINITE variety! But even there, the "display of dick" isn't complete: these are only people who feel like they have something "special" to show! Most of us come to grips rather early in life that our bodies are "just average"...

      I would, however, say that trying to find a mate based on the looks of your equipment is a mistake - whether you have a 6-inch cock and small balls, or a 12-in monster with huge balls... find people who like YOU to have sex with... not people who only like your dick! You will have much less heartache (and a much better sex life) as a result!

      Dr Michelle Fiscus was sent an anonymous Amazon package containing a dog muzzle, which she claims was an attempt to silence her about the C-19 vaccine.

      @bi4smooth

      Gov employees have special rights due to their unions. Vaccine mandates for thee, but not for me.

      Government employees have special rights because they work under a CONTRACT. Yes, that contract is negotiated by a union, but you imply that ONLY unionized employees have contractual protections... and I have already shown that is false. LOTS of other employees work under contracts. Some of those contracts work more to protect the employee, but some also work more to protect the employer!

      Case in point here in the US: When you go to the ER in most areas of the US, you will not EVER be seen by a Dr that is employed by the Hospital. ALL of the physicians (and in some areas, even all of the nurses) are independent contractors "hired" by the Hospital to staff the ER under contracts that protect the Hospital from torts, leaving the medical personnel personally and solely responsible for any legal responsibility. You agree to this when you sign the "authorization to treat" form (which, by the way, is a contract).

      You are a selective libertarian. Other times you are an authoritarian. You remind me of Antifa.

      You silly twit... of course there are limits to personal rights!

      I don't believe in murder, but should I find myself being attacked by 3 armed people - and I happen to have a gun - you can bet I will not hesitate to protect myself... lethally! By your standards, that makes me a "selective murderer"... Thankfully, I don't (and as far as I can tell, not even one person does) even attempt to live by your absurd standards.

      Honestly, I find your "brand" of Conservatism to be "Convenient Conservatism"... you're a Conservative when it is convenient to you, but when it comes to things like business rights, public health, or - say - work contracts... not so much!

      I'm not sure how you can continue to rail against vaccines... your God has told you to get the vaccine!

      "I would recommend it," Mr Trump said during an interview on Fox News Primetime on Tuesday. "I would recommend it to a lot of people that don't want to get it and a lot of those people voted for me, frankly." He added: "It's a great vaccine, it's a safe vaccine and it's something that works." - Donald J Trump in Alabama on Fox news, Tuesday, Aug 24, 2021

      Mic drop. Your Personal Savior of all that is Good has spoken. Stop arguing about the bullshit you find on the Internet (like vaccines causing magnetism, or having computer chips in them, altering your DNA, or killing more people than the disease itself)... and take the damned shot!

      BTW: When the FDA announced full approval of Pfizer's vaccine, they also addressed the issue with some children having reactions including slight myocarditis and/or pericarditis: in those instances, virtually ALL of the affected children recovered fully without treatment. There remains a warning for physicians to watch out for it (because it IS necessary to monitor it), but there have been ZERO fatalities from it, NOR has there been a single case where there has been permanent heart damage.

      Damn dude! Your house of tissue-paper cards about how this whole COVID thing is a lie and the vaccines are evil is falling apart REALLY fast!

      You should see a chiropractor for that whiplash! 🙂

      LOL, gotta love the crackhead examples.

      Vaccine mandates that aren't vaccine mandates for certain people, is special rights for those that don't have to abide the vaccine mandate.

      Also, as a "libertarian", shouldn't you support forced vaccinations for all?

      Again: what special rights? EVERYONE (with some few medical exemptions meeted out by physicians) needs to get the vaccine. Rich people need to get it! Poor people need to get it! (Here in the US, they are FREE... to ALL... even ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS!)

      I believe people have the right to live as they want to live, dance to their own tune... but there are limitations:

      • You don't have the right to live in a community, but NOT connect your home to the sewage system...
      • You don't have the right to build your own "vehicle" and drive it (with a max speed of about 10 Kph) on the highway
      • You don't have the right to jerk off into a bottle and then sell it as a COVID-19 cure!

      And, you don't have the right to endanger all of your neighbors because you believe some nutjob on the Internet who says the COVID-19 vaccine will magnetize your skin! Enough of you, and you (together) endanger all of humanity! (think: epidemiology ain't Rocket Science!)

      Still, special rights when it can be forced on some but not others.

      I see... so when you drive drunk and cause, say, US$40K in damages, and you "get off, scot-free" because you have insurance... but someone who DIDN'T have insurance would have to pay it out-of-pocket... is that a "special privilege"?

      Or, is it just something that's been bought and paid for?

      My "special rights" are negotiated with my employer and codified in a contract. You have the RIGHT to do the same with YOUR employer... that you do not is simply a reflection of your negligent preparation for protecting yourself - akin to driving without insurance!

      OK, so maybe your current employer wouldn't accept hiring you under a written contract... but you could always look for one who DID! Maybe a UNION job! ROFL!

      PS: No, I'm not in a union - I'm a consultant... all of my "employment arrangements" are by contract... it's just the way I run my business!

      Umm, it hasn't always been summer while C-19 has been around.

      Use DuckDuckGo and search for this; are blacks the least vaccinated against covid

      Google is well known for hiding things they don't want us to see.

      I'm fully vaccinated, using the previous definition. Starting in Sept, I won't be fully vaccinated until later in the year or early next year. Rinse and repeat, ad nauseum.

      Could be - I received my 2nd dose of Pfizer in Feb - that means I'll need another dose in Oct. I don't have any problem doing that... then again, i have a long history of doing "what's right" instead of "what's easy" (I've adopted 8 children from foster care...)

      The union negotiations were with government employee unions, not the run-of-the-mill workers.

      Must be nice to have special rights.

      Special? Nope - just negotiated rights. Contracts.... While I'm not in a union, my employment is via contract... and if MY employer wants to change the nature of my workplace, I have the right to object...

      Lots of people having their rights violated, but as a libertarian, you support that.

      If we really want to look at who is not getting the vaccine, it's mostly blacks. Hispanics aren't too keen either.

      Where did the common flu go? No one is getting it anymore. Did we cure it?

      Silly child-mind... it's Summer in the Northern Hemisphere... Flu is RARE at this time of year. That said, if people are wearing masks this Fall and Winter, I would fully expect Flu cases to plummet! (Masks protect against Flu transmission - and TB as well! What a bargain!)

      Your statistics on Blacks and Hispanics being the bulk of the un-vaccinated are simply untrue... but, honestly it doesn't matter: black, blue, green, brown yellow... unless there is a medical reason not to receive it, public health is likely to force virtually everyone to take the vaccine.

      Quickly approaching 5 billion (with a b) doses of all COVID-19 vaccines combined worldwide - they are safe and effective. (source) Like smallpox vaccines, they are likely here to stay. If you don't like the new-technology mRNA types, get one of the others (J&J in the US)... but GET the vaccine... soon, you'll be ostracized if you continue to be obstinate about it...

      Hmm, I'll have to check your account to see if it's been hacked.

      The medical exemption talk was about negotiating with unions over the vaccine mandate.

      Yeah, well that's the thing with Union contracts - virtually any change to the workplace has to be negotiated...
