@hubrys said in MyPillow Guy, Mike Lindell, is Caca for Cuckoo Puffs:

There is absolutely NO way absent a violent coup that Trump will ever be reinstated into the White House this August. Not even if God himself came down and exposed an infernal contract signed by every Democrat in the country in baptized baby blood, would there be a legal mechanism for removing Joe Biden and replacing him with Donald Trump.

The PillowPrick is a good source of humour...and it will get even more amusing when September arrives, and Trump is still an obese guy who spends his days cheating at golf.

It's always interesting to see the reactions of cultists when some Great Cataclysm in the Future doesn't happen. I remember the doomsday predictions for Y2K, with survivalists moving to the desert. After 1/1/2000 they argued (correctly) that the 21st century wouldn't begin until 1/1/2001. When that day came and went, we heard little from them.

Then there was the predicted end of the world on 21/12/2012, which I think was based on the Mayan calendar. I remember going to breakfast at a Gordon Ramsay restaurant in London on the 22nd, to kickoff my life after death. They had a nice "Doomsday Omelette" on the menu that was quite pleasant.

Recall also that the Q-anon folks were sure that Trump would return to office on this past March 4. They were curiously silent afterwards.

We might not hear much from Lindell after his August data passes. That would be fine with me.

@manhandler said in 82% Miscarry After Vaccine: Prestigious Medical Journal:

https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/ocqrto/the_new_england_journal_of_medicine_shows_that/

You're mis-reading the statistics.

First, let's dismiss the reddit post--it's on their "conspiracy" page.

Next, let's take a careful read of the NEJM article. The sample set was of 35,691 women. Table 1 shows that 86.5% of these were pregnant at the time of vaccination, and the remaining 15.5% became pregnant shortly after the vaccination. This does NOT mean, as conspiracy theorists want to believe, that the 86.5% somehow lost their pregnancy shortly after vaccination. It means that those 15.5% were women who became pregnant after the study and thus were included in it.

What was the outcome of the vaccinated pregnant women? Let's look at Table 4. The pregnancy and neo-natal outcomes from vaccinated-mother pregnancies were completely in line with incidence rates from the larger population--in fact is some areas, adverse outcomes were a bit lower than the larger population averages, but a much larger study would be needed to establish that.

So, based on real data rather than prejudiced preconception, one can confidently assert what the researchers (and their peer reviewers) stated:

RESULTS
Although not directly comparable, calculated proportions of adverse pregnancy and neonatal outcomes in persons vaccinated against Covid-19 who had a completed pregnancy were similar to incidences reported in studies involving pregnant women that were conducted before the Covid-19 pandemic.

CONCLUSIONS
Preliminary findings did not show obvious safety signals among pregnant persons who received mRNA Covid-19 vaccines.

@manhandler There are gay and lesbian people who are a lot like Skye in the cartoon above. I don't feel much kinship with them.

There are gay and lesbian people who are a lot more like Damian, and I do feel a bond with them (not necessarily attraction).

Here's an excerpt of the article for the less literate:

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires health care providers to report any serious adverse event (including death) that happens after a COVID-19 vaccination – whether or not the provider thinks there is any link. The CDC says, "Health care providers are required to report to VAERS the following adverse events after COVID-19 vaccination…regardless if the reporter thinks the vaccine caused the AE." AE stands for adverse event and includes death.

That means that if a vaccinated person drowns, gets in a car crash or is struck by lightning, their death must be reported to VAERS as an adverse event. Since we've vaccinated over 140 million people in the United States, many deaths will occur coincidentally after vaccination.

As of May 10, there have been 4,434 reports of death following a COVID-19 vaccination to VAERS. Doctors at the CDC review each reported death, looking at death certificates, autopsy and medical records. They have no reason to believe that COVID-19 vaccines cause death.

LGBT includes lots of people who are marginalized by society. Society's standard view is:

• If you born with a penis, you grow up to be a man, and you should be attracted only to women.

• If you born with a vagina, you grow up to be a woman, and you should be attracted only to women.

Bisexual people don't fit this narrow stereotype. Transgender people don't fit this narrow stereotype. They DO fit with the many gays and lesbians who also break these stereotypes.

I suggest that you discard your hatred for people who are different from yourself. You might be rather shocked to find out that some of the freedoms you enjoy were achieved by the tireless efforts of LBT people. Even by some straight people, too.

@manhandler The linked video page description says that the New England Journal of Medicine came to these findings.

That's not true, and likely why that video page didn't cite a specific paper.

Is there any desire to fix the ongoing login/unavailable/error issues with the new forum software?

If not, rolling back to the previous version would be an improvement.

@eobox91103 Oh, I'm only QUOTING the INVENTOR of the PCR test. What are your credentials again? Did you INVENT anything? "I invented Froot Loop ice cream when I was twelve." This is the INVENTOR of the PCR test, and you are saying that I'm a conspiracy theorist... You're dumb. Ok, bye.

Are you really as stupid as you seem? I'm asking for a REFERENCE. Let me spell that for you, asshole: R-E-F-E-R-E-N-C-E. If you got that material from a reliable source, provide a link to that source. Having something written in this forum without any substantiation is worthless.

You obviously have no respect for fact, probably because your tiny little brain can't hold them. It's absolutely useless trying to discuss anything with you.

@manhandler said in Terrible News for the Vaxxed: by 2025:

@eobox91103 His name is Kary Mullis you asshole. He INVENTED the PCR test. Now here is where you stop responding because I destroy you. Kary Mullis said that his invention (the Polymerase Chain Reaction) will show that 100% of humans will test positive for EBOLA, or ANY molecule that exists on Earth. This is WHY the CDC finally admitted that over 90% of the PCR tests showing positive for Covid were FALSE. Because it's run by cycles (magnifications under a microscope by the trillions of magnifications). You simply take a sample of a cell and it shows other molecules (all of them when you magnify it high enough). It does not mean that you "HAVE" Covid, you moron. It simply is an example of the Buddhist philosophy that all is one, and all is contained within all. This is just for starters. The inventor of the PCR test, which is used by Fauci to claim all these people are positive and there is a Pandemic is bullshit. A PCR test will show that you have a molecule of Nickel, does that mean that there is a Nickel poisoning epidemic? No. You clearly don't like to actually listen to the scientists, because you obviously have no idea what the fuck you're talking about. You just don't agree with science because Orange Man Bad.

You simply don't get it.

Unlike you, I'm willing to research things, and even change my mind, if I have reason to do so. Your assertions in this forum with no reference or cited sources. I'm not going to believe the rantings of a crazed lunatic.

I am not an asshole. You are. And you prove it almost every day. You should be ashamed of yourself.

@manhandler said in Terrible News for the Vaxxed: by 2025:

@eobox91103 A name IS a source. All you have to do is look up the inventor of the PCR test, to start. But you're too lazy or too lame to be capable of that apparently.

. "Donald Trump says all cows are purple."
. "George Bush says pickle ice cream is poisonous."

You will, of course, believe these, because with names in those two statements, you have sources.

See how silly your argument is? Now here's a challenge: Try responding intelligently.

@manhandler said in Terrible News for the Vaxxed: by 2025:

@eobox91103 Yes, the inventor of mRNA was cited in the article, for one. You think HE'S a CONSPIRACY NUT? HMMM? I don't think so, and he echoes what the former VP of Pfizer said, as well as the inventor of the PCR test. It's all singing to the same tune, and you are playing ignorant because it doesn't fit your belief system.

PLEASE learn to read. There was no reference to a source. For a web page to assert something without any backup doesn't count. Show me an reference.

But you can't. You're the one with the fixed (i.e., broken) belief system who doesn't believe in fact.

Responding to your trash posts is a fucking waste of time.

Also, note that source Daily Mail article said that, if this was related to the vaccination, it was a rare side-effed. Getting covid-19, and dying from it, is not a rare side-effect of not getting the jab.

@manhandler said in Terrible News for the Vaxxed: by 2025:

@eobox91103 Right, so you don't believe the inventor of the mRNA, the inventor of the PCR test, or the former Vice President of Pfizer, all saying the same thing. Because those guys are clearly conspiracy theorists. Just for starters!

Please provide references for these. They were not in the anonymous article you linked in the first post.

@manhandler said in Terrible News for the Vaxxed: by 2025:

@eobox91103 According to who? You? And who are you? Are you an expert on anything? Thanks for your opinion.

As to the quality (or lack thereof) of the "principia-scientifica" domain, you could look at https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/ . You will also be able find a host of other garbage-quality conspiracy theory websites that you will likely enjoy.

As to the lack of references in the article you link, you can see that by clicking on the link.

As to dogmatic non-thinkers in this thread (and many others), you can likely find that on your won.

(As for who I am, and my areas of expertise, it is established net etiquette that a person asking questions of another answer those questions themself first. Ergo, your turn. But you needn't bother; I don't care who you are, and I doubt that you have any areas of expertise.)

This "principia-scientific" website is a festering swamp of baseless conspiracy theories. No educated person takes it seriously. The linked article, which is unsigned, does not have any credible references. It lists some web domains, but no links to papers.

I expect you to reject any scientist who doesn't tell you what you want to hear, it's human nature.

No, it's the reaction of dogmatic non-thinkers. We have examples of that in this thread.

@lololulu19 I don't see a banner when I click on that torrent. I wishlisted one at random and then opened it, and didn't see a banner. So, I don't know what this means.

I use "wishlist" to mark where I've looked--If I search for new torrents, I'll wishlist the two newest ones. If I come back to the website a day later, and search down the list, when I come to the "wishlisted" torrents I know I've seen everything since my last visit. I use it as more of a bookmark.

@lololulu19 said in Images being replaced on torrent uploads - annoying:

Annoying IMAGE on torrent problem.

Often, when I upload a torrent.. the GOOD image I upload with it - which is typically the COVER of the box - is replaced by a dozen or more crappy images from the video. That makes it fairly "invisible" in the BROWSE gallery.
It would be nice if when people uploaded additional images, they did NOT bump the uploader's image out of the main image spot.
It would also be nice if the uploader were able to change the order of the images on the torrent.. just in case someone uploaded a BETTER image than the uploader did.

I share your frustration. The system awards a bonus point for each image added by a member, which encourages "image spam" from some people. It might be good to put some sort of limit on bonus points to discourage indiscriminate image posting.

It would indeed be better if new images uploaded by other people came at the end of the image series, not at the beginning. I like the idea of having the original torrent poster be able to change the order of images, but this should go along with a system of "new images go last" so that the OP doesn't need to constantly check uploaded torrents.

Another way around this problem is that if the original post has ten or more images, nobody can add additional images--including the OP. While it can be tedious to snatch multiple images from the video file (VLC media player can be used for this), it does stop the problem of other people adding images.

Thank you for demonstrating my point.

@eobox91103 said in "political" discussions in comments:
You are conflating the Torrent side of the site (which is non-political - and it's in the rules), and the Forum side of the site - which actually has separate staffers (more than one)...

Ah, OK, that explains it. When I saw the phrase "a thread was removed from a post" it sounded like the forum to me.

I'm still curious what was deleted. Perhaps the OP will resurrect it as a forum thread.

Thank you for your thoughtful posting.

@higgs said in "political" discussions in comments:

Recently, a thread was removed from a post because it had become the focus of "political" comments to do with a major geopolitical conflict.

I am curious what that post said. Perhaps you could describe in in "neutral terms" (whatever that means).

The moderator who removed the posts did so on the grounds that "this is a positive community."

This sounds out of character with the only forum moderator I'm aware of, who is filled with negativity, and when called out for a specious argument resorts to caustic insults of other forum participants. There are a couple of other minions/trolls who do the same thing with impunity.

I can see the point of discouraging disruptive or bad-tempered comments (I think the thread concerned was neither of these things).

I fully agree, although their are many toxic comments permitted here.

At the very least, much more clarity is needed about what is and is not acceptable.

I would like to see that, too. Perhaps someone can provide some intelligent clarity here, without resorting to insulting either of us.
