US Joe Biden News Megathread - The Other Biden Derangement Syndrome Thread (with a side order of Fauci Derangement Syndrome)

Let's pretend for one moment that he does die before the election, just for the funsies. What happens then? Will the nomination revert to option number 2, aka Bernie Sanders? Or will his running mate automatically replace him just the way Vice-President is supposted to step in after the Big Man in the White House chokes on a piece of matzo? Does he even have a running mate yet?

I cannot fathom the sheer damage of a small projectile launched at the speed of light towards an object, assuming it would survive the experience long enough to hit it's target. It'd probably be how we'd make planet-cracker style weaponry.

There's a good little novel about that called The Killing Star, where aliens decide to wipe out humanity out of nowhere with near-lightspeed weapons, and it's pretty much all over within a few hours.

The great silence (i.e. absence of SETI signals from alien civilizations) is perhaps the strongest indicator of all that high relativistic velocities are attainable and that everybody out there knows it.

The sobering truth is that relativistic civilizations are a potential nightmare to anyone living within range of them. The problem is that objects traveling at an appreciable fraction of light speed are never where you see them when you see them (i.e., light-speed lag). Relativistic rockets, if their owners turn out to be less than benevolent, are both totally unstoppable and totally destructive. A starship weighing in at 1,500 tons (approximately the weight of a fully fueled space shuttle sitting on the launchpad) impacting an earthlike planet at "only" 30 percent of lightspeed will release 1.5 million megatons of energy -- an explosive force equivalent to 150 times today's global nuclear arsenal...

The game plan is, in its simplest terms, the relativistic inverse to the golden rule: "Do unto the other fellow as he would do unto you and do it first."

Presumably there is some sort of inhibition against killing another member of our own species, because we have to work to overcome it.

But the rules do not apply to other species. Both humans and wolves lack inhibitions against killing chickens.

It's an entirely new situation, emerging from the physical possibilities that will face any species that can overcome the natural interstellar quarantine of its solar system. The choices seem unforgiving, and the mind struggles to imagine circumstances under which an interstellar species might make contact without triggering the realization that it can't afford to be proven wrong in its fears.

They won't come to get our resources or our knowledge or our women or even because they're just mean and want power over us. They'll come to destroy us to insure their survival, even if we're no apparent threat, because species death is just too much to risk, however remote the risk...

The most humbling feature of the relativistic bomb is that even if you happen to see it coming, its exact motion and position can never be determined; and given a technology even a hundred orders of magnitude above our own, you cannot hope to intercept one of these weapons. It often happens, in these discussions, that an expression from the old west arises: "God made some men bigger and stronger than others, but Mr. Colt made all men equal." Variations on Mr. Colt's weapon are still popular today, even in a society that possesses hydrogen bombs. Similarly, no matter how advanced civilizations grow, the relativistic bomb is not likely to go away...

We ask that you try just one more thought experiment. Imagine yourself taking a stroll through Manhattan, somewhere north of 68th street, deep inside Central Park, late at night. It would be nice to meet someone friendly, but you know that the park is dangerous at night. That's when the monsters come out. There's always a strong undercurrent of drug dealings, muggings, and occasional homicides.

It is not easy to distinguish the good guys from the bad guys. They dress alike, and the weapons are concealed. The only difference is intent, and you can't read minds.

Stay in the dark long enough and you may hear an occasional distance shriek or blunder across a body.

How do you survive the night? The last thing you want to do is shout, "I'm here!" The next to last thing you want to do is reply to someone who shouts, "I'm a friend!"

What you would like to do is find a policeman, or get out of the park. But you don't want to make noise or move towards a light where you might be spotted, and it is difficult to find either a policeman or your way out without making yourself known. Your safest option is to hunker down and wait for daylight, then safely walk out.

There are, of course, a few obvious differences between Central Park and the universe.

There is no policeman.

There is no way out.

And the night never ends.

So how long until the dems give Fauci a tour of the underside of a moving bus?

They're just doing this shit for cruelty now.

Those old B&W videos of baby monkeys being tortured was the first time I hated someone so bad I could taste it when I was a kid and they showed those videos in science class.

Now they're redoing them? Why? For what fucking purpose? To answer questions that have already been answered like: "If you're mean to a baby monkey it shows distress?"

A lot of these 'people' I'd love to hold down and put a revolver in their ear and click through the chambers till I find the one live round. You know, in Fallout 4.

Who knew the sequel to the Fauci movie would be in the torture porn genre?

Who knew the sequel to the Fauci movie would be in the torture porn genre?

It's basically the plot to Saw 2 at this point. You have to "pass the tests" to get the antidote to the poison slowly killing you.

From the makers of A Serbian Film and Human Centipede: Fauci 2.

I saw a few of those stickers during my morning shift at work. They were right by signs for low quantities of certain food.

Well, more fun from Buttbuddy. Why does his security detail need Mustang Mach-E's? Just more of OUR tax dollars pissed away. And just what the fuck is he doing about the crush at our ports? Likely nothing, he hasn't a clue. As useless as tits on a boar.

ALERT: Pete Buttigieg's New Electric SUV Was Made in Mexico - Washington Free Beacon

Transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg is finally getting back to work after taking nearly two months off while the bipartisan infrastructure bill stalled in Congress and the supply chain crisis wreaked havoc on the American economy.

Hey! That's not fair.

Tits on a boar have a function, and a necessary one at that: feeding boar piglets.

In 2020 were registered 168 million

Number of registered voters in the United States 1996-2020 | Statista

In 2020, there were 168.31 million people registered to vote in the United States.

www.statista.com

Your math sucks

There other inconsistencies 2018 there were 153 mil registered and then jump for 15 mil votes if you look at the link doesn't make sense

I am summoning @Gehenna

To explain how this shit works . Because my slav brain can handle so much inconsistencies how nobody asked this fucking question

Abracabra La Grande Devillo, Smashilo Debillo Abracabra @Gehenna.

I've been trying to figure out a way to answer, but the boss says my hearty suggestion to not talk about election fortification stands. Comes too close to IRL work stuff, sorry.

We knew about the puppies an sheet for a while now, so it suddenly being an issue is weird to me.
Personally, I’m more pissed about the people he has killed, led to loads of poverty, and justified fascist movements with his bullshit.

It's why people think this might be Fucai finally getting the boot, you don't bring back old news for no reason, more so that they started having this fuss about the dogs when it's just been proven he lied to congress about gain of function.

No. Grew up on a farm. Boar's tits are useless.

Fauci getting the boot wouldn't make it go away. It gets rid of Fauci and damages the Admin.

Wouldn't replacing Fauci at this point help the Admin more?

 

[Gehenna]

Wouldn't replacing Fauci at this point help the Admin more?

No, it'd just be a dud. Fauci has the name recognition from the point of the 'crisis' where people were most afraid. He has a momentum behind him of support that, while severely whittled away, allows him to be the face of the admin on this topic and people listen to him to some degree. Any new person has all the momentum sucked right out of them.

 

[Lorne Armstrong]

Wouldn't replacing Fauci at this point help the Admin more?

Depends on how he’s gotten rid of.

 

[Drag-on Knight 91873]

That's like removing the science pope for not being science-y enough while they make everyone have vax passports. Can't have one without the other.

Well the lying to congress shit is blowing up on him again so the puppies are a good distraction from the very real perjury Fauci engaged in and the fact that he signed off on the research that probably fucked up the world.

 

[Mr Bunny]

That's like removing the science pope for not being science-y enough while they make everyone have vax passports. Can't have one without the other.

Well, it's as Armstong said that depends more on why he was gotten rid of, getting the boot for the dogs is less damaging than getting the boot over anything covid related.

Personally, I don't think he's getting the boot.
