@raphjd more like an AK-15 death than C-19

Proves you are the Russian troll, since you know more about their practices than I do.

@raphjd said in Canadian woman diagnosed with "climate change":

Let's ignore her age, health issues, and living conditions so we can diagnose her with climate change.

I'm gonna see if my GP will diagnose me with time travel.

Doctors should stick to medicine, and not (at least not on medical charts) make political statements.

Blaming this woman's issues on "Climate change" is the moral/medical opposite of declaring a gunshot victim's cause of death as "lead poisoning"!

ALL of her symptoms (the patient he gave that diagnosis to) were attributed to high heat levels... that's medically evident. That those heat levels are a direct result of climate change is not a medical analysis! It is a political one...

@lololulu19 said in "Students of Color, minus Asian" at U of Maryland:

@raphjd To liberals, asians are a problem because they are not only minorities, but also tend to be intelligent and good in math! Having a high IQ is RACIST in the minds of liberals.

It has always bewildered me why an employer nor anybody else can require an IQ test. The closest a University can get to that are SAT or ACT scores, and even then, tests are now under attack as measures of selecting students. Some states want to abolish testing altogether, while other states are giving "bonus" points or biased grades based upon race.

Wait... You don't see your characterization of "All Asians are good at math" as racist?

You seriously think "it's only racist if it's bad"?

I'm sorry - but the idea that "Asians are somehow the good minority" is racist as fuck!

I'm dating an Asian man: his dick is every bit as big as mine (which isn't bragging for either of us, but it is a de-validation of the stereotype that Asian men have small dicks); and he's "about average" in Math (I work in Computer Science, so my own math skills are much higher than average - not just because of study, but also because I use higher math every day in my work).

Is it any more or less racist to not hire a Mexican applicant because you assume he's lazy than it is to hire an Asian because you think he's better at math?

NO!

Both decisions are based on racial stereotypes and are therefore racist decisions - even though the second one favors the Asian applicant!

@lololulu19 said in State Street Global Advisors will need permission to hire White men:

@raphjd I always wondered why if certain things are not supposed to be considered, why are they ASKED on job applications?

For instance...
age
marital status
race
whether they have children
etc.

It used to annoy me when I would see people go to job interviews with their real (or fake) wife and their real (or fake) children just to get the job and a bigger salary. If I was hiring someone.. my #1 rule would be to never hire someone that you cannot fire. For instance, if the person applying for the job is married - or even a close friend of someone who already is employed by you.. you can't fire either of them without a problem. If someone is a minority of some sort.. you can't fire them without risking a discrimination lawsuit. If the applicant is a female in her 20's - you risk being stuck paying for 6 months of paid maternity leave, and having your group coverage insurance rates skyrocket - not to mention other reasons for not being able to fire them.

Well now - it is perfectly clear to all of us why YOU never rose to the ranks of the powerful business elite!

Chappelle is right about the LGBTQIP+ etc.
They are all basically easy-going people.. except for one category... T!

It seems like "T" stands for "terminal PMS"

@raphjd said in ILLEGAL: NJ Election Worker: ‘I’ll let you[Non-Citizen/Non-Registered Voter] fill out a ballot.':

Youtube Video

Another example of: Look! The SKY is falling! When it's actually just raining.

In most states, anyone who shows up at a polling place can claim to be a voter and obtain a ballot... it's called a "PROVISIONAL BALLOT" - and its validity is determined later - often only if the race is close enough to where the provisional ballots would "made a difference".

The acceptance of provisional ballots hails from a time where we were more interested in making sure EVERY VOTE COUNTS vs. "finding every way to throw out votes"!

@raphjd said in Pfizer Confirms COVID-Vaccinated People Can ‘Shed’ Spike Proteins And Harm The Unvaccinated:

https://www.nationaltimesaustralia.com/health/pfizer-confirms-covid-vaccinated-people-can-shed-spike-proteins-and-harm-the-unvaccinated/

What a piece of shit "reporting"... this is a right-wing Australian publication who is twisting a report of "all claims" as somehow a "confirmation" from Pfizer...

Once again, just a little "critical thinking" debunks some of these baseless claims:

Your body is bombarded with billions of random "spike proteins" (and with certainty: deadly bacteria & active viruses themselves!) every minute of every day. But you have a natural protection barrier: your skin (though I suspect your's is so thin as to offer little, if any protection IRL!). For the COVID-19 spike proteins to cause a reaction in your body, they have to be INSIDE the body - where they themselves are completely harmless! The way the vaccine works is that these spike proteins trigger an immune response - that's the inflammation people report. You could literally drink a QUART of the vaccines and it wouldn't harm you... your digestive system is well accustomed to killing off bacteria and viruses, and digesting proteins - which is why this isn't an ORAL vaccine! The vaccine doesn't "course through your body" - it pretty much stays put in your arm muscle (where its been injected), which is why the inflammation and soreness typically linger there - at ther injection site. IF the vaccine NEEDED to "course through your body" to work, it would be injected into your blood stream, not a muscle - the way most antibiotics and drugs (not vaccines) are administered in hospitals. (IV drug users know the difference!).

Vaccines are not DRUGS - they are "cheat sheets" for your immune system. YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM HAS TO DO THE WORK - which is why the vaccines don't work well (in some cases, at all) for immuno-compromised people.

Really people: take - just a little - time to learn HOW these things work, and the fucking magic disappears - and with it, the booga booga attempts to scare you!

@raphjd said in Youngkin (R) wins:

Youngkin (R) has won the Virginia Governorship

Thankfully, the DEMs attempts to plaster Trump all over Youngkin failed. If anything, it turned out MORE Republican voters!

NJ is a close race - too close to call as I write this... which is A-W-E-S-O-M-E, as NJ is usually a reliably BLUE State!

Another Republican candidate who didn't shove Trump away, but also didn't embrace him either!

@raphjd I don't understand why liberals hate Fuckaburger so much. The only theory I have is that Fuck gave the liberals about $200 million worth of shit.. but they wanted $2 billion!

@raphjd said in Teen shreds school board over mask mandates:

@bi4smooth

You can't read.

I was saying that the school board trusts the science when it goes their way and doesn't trust the science when it goes against them.

And I agreed with that - completely.

"No Shirt,....." rules are by business choice or by health code for food safety.

"No Shirt...." rules are for public health... the same as mask rules during a pandemic where the pathogen is aerosol spread

@lololulu19 said in Rep "CryBaby" Kinzinger won't run for re-election:

Pelosi committed itself in a 2016 deal to stepping down as the leader of the House democrats in 2022.

I wonder how that will affect her influence over the democrat lemmings in the House. Since they know she is toothless after 2022, they don't have to fear her reprisals anymore.

We can only hope that Pelosi actually adheres to her 2018 "campaign" promise to NOT seek re-election to Speaker in 2022... then again, we can also hope that the point is moot, as Dems shouldn't be in control of the House in 2022 to begin with! (NOTE: Technically, the election happens in 2022, the next Speaker election won't happen as a result until early 2023!)

Love her or hate her, Pelosi has been an effective Dem leader... in all the ways that make Republicans revile her!

So, losing her would be a benefit to us! But again, the point should be moot and she should retire from Congress and annoy her grandchildren! 🙂

As for Kinsinger, as you noted in your piece above, he was essentially gerrymandered out of his seat. And that comes as a surprise to anyone?

Dem States are gerrymandering their delegations to be more Dem, Republican States are gerrymandering their delegations to have more Republicans... shocking!

What REALLY should happen is that we should fix this broken system where partisan politics feeds on itself and extremes on both sides get to advance their agendas because of a lack of a NEED for there to be a middle-ground.

If we drew our district boundaries in a less partisan (non-partisan is a pie-in-the-sky impossible dream) fashion, we'd have more competitive districts and the Legislature would be able to accomplish more... more that's GOOD for America - all of America, not just one extreme or another.

Hmmm... filed 24-hours before the on-site voting happens in Virginia...

Certainly worth investigating, as accepting foreign funds for campaigns in Federal Elections is illegal (not so sure about State campaigns - I think that would be up to States' own laws - but I'd be shocked if any State did NOT make it illegal!). Despite the claims of some of the sites contributing to Breitbart's story, I don't think Federal Elections laws apply to non-Federal elections. That's a hallmark of our democracy: elections are local, and our system is entirely de-centralized... making the kind of system-wide "conspiracy" that is central to the "Trump 2020 lie" almost impossible to achieve!

That said, I'm not a lawyer at all - and that means I'm definitely not an elections lawyer.

But the timing of the complaint smells...

I don't think the Republican Candidate against McCauliffe (Glenn Youngkin) needs any "shady" help... he should be able to defeat this Dem fair and square! Even in a State (VA) that's been leaning Blue lately...

The old testament is loaded with animal sacrifices.. and then that wasn't enough so they had the story of Isaac and Abraham. Then they made the sacrifice of JC the premise for the entire new testament.

It's interesting that in the OT, they make it very clear that they don't just sacrifice any animals.. they are to sacrifice their BEST animals.

What kind of insanity ever came up with the premise of sacrificing the best?

In many civil wars, they intentionally rounded up the intellectuals and killed them! (because they were a threat to the ruling class). When the ruling class is comprised of religious nuts, WATCH OUT! They will do absolutely anything, and sanctify it in the name of religion.
