That's my problem. Sure it's great she helped those kids, but there are kids in her home state, her home city even, that need that kind of help. I know the adoption process can be a real hassle, so is it just easier to adopt from another country?
I've noticed they haven't been talking about the guy that passed out in the Wendy's drive through. I guess it's a little harder to spin when even a cursory inspection would reveal the
Science is real? Who denies the existence of science exactly?
They actually mean "uncritically accept and repeat any claims about global warming and renewable energy, the sCiENce iS SeTtlEd".
Also, considering their relatively low number of infections and way way lower deaths, what constitutes a "surge" for them? 10 more cases? 50?
Sure, in the same way that getting stabbed in the leg and scratched by a cat are both wounds.
Holy shit is that an absolute whopper of a "history is the present" sort of list. Literally just "currently famous female celebs/politicians", with two token scientists who aren't particularly famous or great contributors to human knowledge. I was expecting cliche stuff like Marie Curie or Amelia Earhart with a couple more modern politicians/activists, but this is just a bad joke!
Pretty sad the number of hypocrites who basically say "you aren't allowed to defend yourself because your ideology is evil and therefore anything done to you is justifiable/not worthy of outrage."
Which is exactly how our opponents see us, but without the forceful imprisonment and organ harvesting (yet).
Maybe the problem is all these people apparently not considering themselves British and rejecting that history, rather than trying to change it to reflect the history of someplace else.
Yeah it's pretty pozzed. Visited a former friend one week their freshman year, really shocked me how degenerate the kids were. He went to the "party dorm", which had posters about how to properly toss someones salad and a mural of Pokemon (the animals) fucking each other. Apparently until only the previous year or two that dorm had a serious problem with IV drug abuse, and last I heard of my friend they had developed a coke habit. I sat in on one of their dorm meetings which was a mistake, since it ended up being 30 minutes of the older students making excuses and passing the blame for why one of the freshman had passed out and needed an ambulance during a big dorm party they had organized.
I'm not against partying and I know those kinds of high achieving kids put a lot of pressure on themselves, but it was still shocking how far and how fast they went with it.
Cuz you know what was missing from the story about self confidence and coming of age in the face of very real hardship? Floaty wire-fighting Wuxia bullshit, that's what.
It's like they looked at the concept for this movie thought "just doing the story straight out should be enough for it to be popular in China, but just in case, how can we pander even more?"
And it will somehow be even shallower than the spastic comedy cartoon reboot which was intended for small children.
That's almost like saying a pun has deep philosophical meaning because it can convey two meanings in one phrase.
"The biggest takeaway for me: this wasn't even close to the black death, but you wouldn't know it based on our reaction to it. Is this shit show going to happen every time there's a moderately more lethal flu? And how fucked are we going to be when there's a legitimately lethal virus?"
Same here, all this has shown me is that if we ever have to face a truly deadly and infectious disease, we are straight fucked. I'm talking major societal collapse within weeks of international spread.
I bet screwing with police drones will be the new popular delinquent past time. Whoever has crashed the most drones will be the cool guy of the block.
I definitely don't want to get this rushed vaccine.
"Do not allow objections for personal preference, which violate the social contract."
Such a weaselly way of saying "for the greater good". I think forcing people to take an essentially untested and potentially dangerous vaccine is a far greater violation of the social contract.
I've seen this trope quite a few times (three times as exactly that, magic with a male and female side and the male side was corrupted by some evil deity figure), and it would be refreshing if just once the corrupted "evil" side was the "female" side instead. They even did it with the Force in the Clone Wars tv show, with the light side being represented by the Sister character and the dark by the Brother.
