I don't want to send us down a corona rabbit hole, but I'm curious and it may be relevant to the narrative shifts on the horizon. What is your take on people wearing those same dollar store masks to prevent spreading diseases to other people? Does this have any beneficial affect other than maybe preventing people from touching their face quite as much?

Check out the wuhan thread for intel on that but to make a very long story short: All masks catch viri at least a little, most don't do it efficiently enough. And in almost all cases any benefit is massively outweighed by how sloppy people are. Reusing masks and grabbing them by the filter basically slathers your face and hands in viri way more that not wearing masks would. At best they're worthless, most likely they're counter productive.

I think the main benefit of mask-wearing is preventing people from touching their faces. But the constant on and off of the mask and adjusting it, moisture condensation underneath which degrades the mask and the fact that it is impeding your immune system from doing what it normally does by being exposed to germs on a daily basis which is necessary to building a healthy immune system.. The overall effect of it is more negative than positive. I have even heard of an increase in respiratory infections due to the mask wearing, buildup of condensation and bacteria that would normally not be there as you're breathing in and out etc.

So nick said all the cases were thrown out, was it inky the recount or the real cases of fraud? And he thinks the az lawyers quit because they done all they can.

Pretty sure all of these were already disproven, but I could be wrong.

Does Nick have sources to back it up?

 

[Shroom King]

She really didn't. A lot of people that voted for Gary Johnson in 2016 voted for Trump this time around since the Libertarians screwed the pooch massively since then.

I voted for Gary Johnson in 2016 because I wanted a third party on the ballot, but I shifted to the far-right because I saw how law enforcement at every level sabotaged the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, because the powers that be simply could not have a bunch of white people assembling to promote white interests.

This is also Nick a man who despite saying he will stay on top of issues and cover various things never ever does.

At this point the list of things he’s said he’ll do but hasn’t is longer than his nose.

It wasn't education, it was the times. The time of assassinations, riots and integration. Imagine if you were a child and saw the meltdowns of the Cuban Missile Crisis then the assassination of JFK. Then the civil rights issues gets traction and boom, niggers and commies are everywhere screaming (sounds familiar). Medgar Evers iced. MLK iced. Commies and niggers start rioting and threatening to blow shit up. Their pets the Black Panthers start making headlines. Malcolm X iced. RFK iced. More riots, entire cities (Detroit, Newark) go under. George Wallace was shot. People were getting high from LSD and just about any drug that got you high. Many never came back from it, others just got brain damage. I mean there was so much going on in the late 50s and 60s.

They think its the sixties all over again and believe they can avoid the instability and turmoil if they get the right people in office, They think Trump will make things worse, not realizing the people that mucked it all up in the sixties will be in charge if Biden takes office.

Don't forget the Days of Rage in 1969 which happened after Weather Underground was formed by the Students for a Democratic Society(SDS). It involved 34+ injured and 250+ arrested, luckily no one died. The group lasted until 1977 when they were doing terrorist attacks out of plain sight. Someone should post a detailed history about this organization since I have little knowledge about it.

It'll be nice to have a weekly or bidaily recap of the lawsuits. So far trump won the 6 feet at Pennsylvania but they violated it right?

Fuck Whorgensen. She sucked away a ton of votes.

She really didn't. A lot of people that voted for Gary Johnson in 2016 voted for Trump this time around since the Libertarians screwed the pooch massively since then.

Nothing dissuades people from the libertarian ideology faster these days than talking to one its actual supporters. That, or taking more than a cursory glance at what the candidates support.

They're all absolute nuts.

 

[ThatOneLurker]

Or 1488 Sieg Heil types butthurt over Trump gaining minority votes.

Evo and the other Wignats haven't even shown up in awhile so I dunno what you're talking about. My only conversation with Evo so far has been him trying to console me when I was sperging.

Outside of that I don't know any other avowed Wignats.

The stated reason is to prevent your coofs from infecting other people. (the mask catches droplets launched from your mouth, which Corona-chan hitches a ride on). That's where the insistence that everyone wears one comes from, because all it takes is one unmasked infectee and everyone in the vicinity has potentially got the coof. It's the perfect crisis for the collectivist mindset, it's not possible to protect yourself from the coof on an individual level besides secluding yourself, you have to make everyone else protect you.

IIRC, they just coincidentally did the same "you gotta stand 20 feet away cause of the coof" thing in Georgia during their recount, not PA. Although wouldn't surprise me if they violated it in PA after losing in court.

It's an organized trick. And the Right still can't figure out how to organize, and instead just thinks it's magic when the left manages to outplay them on 3 or 4 different levels at once. Every single time.

The side that promotes new methods of social organization is more organized than the side that is all about preserving individual rights? How could this happen?! Is it like Cromwell's New Model Army vs. the Cavaliers, except with political machines?

Edit: Maybe it's because the right initially had the organisational advantage with the "old boy's club", while the Left had to build theirs.

Ya know, that or you could just socially distance while in public and not enter small enclosed spaces with strangers and that way you'd have a much better chance of avoiding infection altogether without having to rely on untrustworthy methods which are known to have side effects.

But of course the left only wants you to socially distance when it fits their ideology. (Or lets them hide their cheating.) And sure as hell won't be telling you how you can take your own health into your own hand without depending on others to save you, because we wouldn't want you to consider yourself accountable for your own actions.

Shit Democracy 4 might be right I'm really turning into a fucking Objectivist ain't I.... Bloody lefties. Stop ruining the left!

Sounds great and all, but they finally realised this recently and decided to spotlight a study which said that the infected droplets linger in the air for up to 3 hours, so there's no other option.

That's only when there's no wind and they're not exposed to UV light, that's why I said not to enter SMALL ENCLOSED SPACES. In open spaces with even the slightest breeze or any sunlight at all they don't linger.

Edit: For those that don't know from the Wuhan thread, I'm a Biotech student coming from a family of healthcare professionals which has offered assistance to said loved ones during this crisis. I assure you I'm about as well informed as you can with this topic, and I can tell you first hand, the hospital's bloody elevators were suspect from day 1 of being the cause of most infections and sure as shit as soon as that shit started getting cleaned between uses and we made it mandatory to open the bloody windows all the time except in surgical rooms and shit like that the outbreaks lowered considerably. It really is that simple. That's all you need to stop this shit from spreading IN A HOSPITAL, THE BIGGEST FUCKING OUTBREAK SOURCE IMAGINABLE. (Fuck I even remember @Stoneheart getting it right in the wuhan thread before even our doctors over here did in real life, back when we thought the elevator was so problematic due to surface contact. Which btw, cheers you kraut bastard. You called it weeks in advance!)

Also, fun fact: This shit with the bullshit studies that ignore basic principles is very common for lefties. Most famously that's what they used to attack golden rice, claiming it would give people vitamin D overdoses, by using a study that ignored the fact that to get to the point where the rice would kill you from vitamin D overdose you'd have to consume rice at a faster rate that your intestines are capable of digesting. They do this all the fucking time, I'm bloody used to it.

Octavian wasn't Julius' biological son, but adopted as an heir. So maybe if Kushner had charisma and could shake off the Wormtongue reputation he had among the far right...

I mean it’s not even an organisation trick or the right not being organised. It is the right seeing obvious bullshit and being fine with it because fuck knows why.

They seem to think there's still a gentleman's agreement with the left, despite the last four years proving otherwise.
