| Topic | Lmao Candace Owens got denied service for COVID testing |
| adjl 09/03/21 9:31:16 AM #59 | helIy posted... not really Sure, but it's still interfering with her getting tested. Whatever the details, her getting tested is a good thing and that should be encouraged. kangolcone posted... If she thinks she has Covid, she should be quarnatining anyway. Most places do encourage symptomatic testing or testing for people that have had a high-risk exposure, though they'll often limit that to appointment-based sites that are better controlled and less busy (to reduce the risk to those present). --- This is my signature.

| Topic | Joe Rogan got Covid and decided to take Ivermectin |
| adjl 09/03/21 9:19:30 AM #64 | SKARDAVNELNATE posted... Joe Rogan Net Worth Why wouldn't he? Normal tests are free and provide identical service to what you'd get for more money, except possibly having to wait a minute or two longer (which would be completely negated by just choosing whatever's closest). I honestly don't even know of any private ones, though I'm sure the grotesque abomination that is the US health care system has come up with some (though even then, maybe not, because it doesn't strike me as a remotely sustainable business model). Even if we presume he's going to a private Covid testing clinic, however, there is absolutely no reason to suspect that he would also have had a blood test/skin biopsy done for rare parasitic infestations. There's just no overlap between those services at all, nor would any doctor consider those tests without either clear symptoms or a reason to strongly suspect that was the issue. SKARDAVNELNATE posted... Then what, in your estimation, is the reason he's taking it? Given that he listed it among the treatments he's using for his Covid infection, he's the sort of person that would be expected to buy into the various meme treatments for Covid (whether seriously or for the sake of his audience), and any of the other possible applications of the drug are too rare to consider as plausible explanations without a clear indication that they're the issue, I'm gonna guess he's taking it to treat his Covid infection. Occam's Razor is far from being an infallible philosophy, but when there's a simple, plausible explanation staring you in the face, invoking a bunch of implausible alternatives that rely on extremely unrealistic assumptions and are flagrantly inconsistent with what was actually said doesn't make any sense at all. Just take the loss, dude. You're very clearly wrong here. Keeping an open mind is good and all, but when you're this ignorant of the subject matter, make sure you do a bit of research first to be able to recognize when what you're saying is completely ridiculous. It doesn't take long, and you'll spend far less time looking terribly silly. --- This is my signature. It exists to keep people from skipping the last line of my posts. |

| adjl 09/02/21 10:47:04 PM #59 | SKARDAVNELNATE posted... I enjoy defying you. As I said before, I'm not going to make this easy by doing what you want. If you can't make your point without getting me to cooperate with whatever you're trying to set up then you're not as smart as you like to think you are. Well, since you've pretty clearly already admitted that you've never actually had the experience you're so hilariously speculating about in utter ignorance, I suppose it won't hurt to explain the point: Getting a covid test consists of registering, getting a swab shoved up your nose by a nurse (usually, sometimes you'll get doctors volunteering, or even lay volunteers), being handed a tissue, then leaving. There's no opportunity for "other tests." Heck, there are rarely even doctors, given that it's a procedure that requires no actual medical training. I can say with almost absolute certainty that Joe Rogan did not get a blood test while getting the test that revealed his Covid diagnosis. I can can say with actually absolute certainty that there is no reason whatsoever to presume or even suggest that he might have, given that that would have been scheduled separately and entirely ancillary to his Covid test. Furthermore, oral Ivermectin is approved by the FDA to be prescribed for two conditions:
In short, it is vanishingly unlikely that Joe Rogan received a diagnosis that would warrant an Ivermectin prescription at the same time as his Covid diagnosis. There is absolutely no reason to take his comments on the matter as meaning anything other than "I'm taking Ivermectin to help with Covid." You are idly speculating on matters you clearly understand very little about, and there's absolutely no excuse for that because I knew none of what I just said before tonight (except remembering that River Blindness was a thing from my parasitology class, but that was many years ago and all I really remember is that blackflies are the vector) and was very easily able to gather the information needed to make informed commentary on the matter.

SKARDAVNELNATE posted... It's also being tested for use against malaria. Maybe he'd been bitten by a mosquito recently. "Being tested for use against malaria" does not mean "being given to random people who maybe got bitten by a mosquito recently," especially in a part of the world where endemic malaria was eradicated ~70 years ago.

| adjl 09/02/21 2:34:28 PM #21 | BlackScythe0 posted... 2 they think there is aborted babies in it. There is actually a minuscule nugget of truth in this one: Roughly 50 years ago, stem cells from an aborted fetus were collected and used in vaccine research. That cell line has been perpetuated ever since, and used in the development and sometimes production of many vaccines (and other drugs). Specifically, that cell line was used in developing and testing the mRNA vaccines and in producing the J&J one. None of the final products contain any of the cells themselves, however. Obviously, making use of an immortal cell line that came out of one aborted fetus 50 years ago is very, very different from the pearl-clutching "they just throw the babies in a blender and inject them into us!" sort of image people freaking about about this conjure, but it is accurate to say that stem cells from an aborted fetus have been used in creating the vaccines. Personally, I have absolutely no difficulty concluding that it is more moral to use cells from this one fetus that was already aborted anyway (that is, it was not aborted for the purposes of medical/pharmaceutical research) 50 years ago to save an incalculable number of lives through the resultant vaccines and other drugs than it would be to destroy that cell line and never use it again, but I do think it's important to have a complete, honest understand of what's happening instead of skipping the details to convince people of that conclusion. --- This is my signature.

Each one of us is responsible for our own health and that means we have to make choices good or bad on what's right for us individually in regards to our own health. That's the thing, though: This is not just about one's own health. If it were, fine, do whatever, but people who have refused the Covid vaccine are now making up the vast majority of hospitalized cases, and there are enough of them that many ICU's are unable to accept new patients, regardless of why those patients need ICU care. A guy died in Kansas after waiting 3 days for an ICU bed to open, when he needed the spot because of surgical complications (not anything related to taking any sort of personal Covid-based risk). That's not okay. The unvaccinated people clogging up those ICU's killed him by "making their own choices for their health." That's the root of the problem here: when the decisions you make about your own health start hurting other people, you need to stop making those decisions. Anyone who doesn't should expect to face consequences from whatever agencies are responsible for preventing them from harming other people (namely, the government). BUMPED2002 posted... People react to vaccines differently and no one knows what reaction may come with being vaccinated until they get the vaccine. Fortunately, there are reams of data out there on the risks associated with the vaccines that will allow people to make informed risk analyses (analyses which - for anyone that understands that 10 is a smaller number than 10,000 and doesn't have a previously identified exacerbating factor - overwhelmingly favour vaccination), as well as medical professionals that can assess one's personal medical history to determine whether or not they are at greater risk than the general population.

| adjl 09/02/21 8:54:50 AM #49 | I don't think outright denying unvaccinated people care is reasonable, but I do think there's a need to cap the percentage of ICU's that are available for voluntarily unvaccinated Covid patients. Treat as many as possible, sure, but resources are limited and voluntarily unvaccinated Covid patients are pretty unquestionably less deserving of those resources than pretty much any other would-be ICU patient, so enough ICU beds to handle typical demands should be reserved for those other patients. Nobody should be made to die because of these idiots, because that's exactly what's going to keep happening. --- This is my signature.

That's very much a hyperbole that isn't entirely accurate, an inaccuracy which a lot of people overlook in their rush to laugh at stupid people. Overlooking inaccuracies in such a time of rampant misinformation can be dangerous, so it's worth making an effort to make sure they're pointed out where appropriate so as to prevent people from being dangerously misled.

If your immune system is compromised, the immunity granted by the vaccine is also compromised, in many cases meaning you're still just as vulnerable as most unvaccinated people are.

It is, however, generally a better idea than buying a house you can't afford to maintain and also a better idea than being homeless. There's a lot wrong with the rental market (mostly the fact that long-term renting is a thing and there's very little being done to curb the abject parasitism that is investment landlording), but as a stepping stone to ownership, renting makes sense. The problem is that rents have skyrocketed so much relative to wages that renting tends to preclude saving up enough capital to be able to transition into ownership. --- This is my signature.

| adjl 08/31/21 3:55:10 PM #13 | It has, and D2R is also coming to consoles, but he's not entirely wrong in that the existing fanbase for D2 is primarily PC gamers. That said, D2 is well-known even among console gamers, and the fact that it's coming to consoles gives them a chance to experience it even though that focus caused them to miss out, so it's not like console folks don't have ample reason to be hyped by it. --- This is my signature.

Ill agree they do exhibit those character traits but I wouldnt call them flaws, both characters use those traits to their advantages and they always benefit from them, never fail. Uhh, pretty much the entirety of Black Panther's plot relies on T'Challa being too idealistic and believing that Wakanda's "old ways" would work out if he just kept believing in them. He only ends up succeeding in the long run because he realizes how wrong he was. --- This is my signature. It exists to keep people from skipping the last line of my posts. |
| Topic | Household items to buy in bulk |
| adjl 08/31/21 3:30:25 PM #19 | TP, paper towel, batteries (not that I go through many batteries), and garbage bags, from that list. For toothpaste, laundry detergent, shampoo,and soap, I tend to get larger packages that last quite a while, but not large enough to really call it "bulk" (mostly, I'm basing this assessment on whether or not I buy them at Costco). Lightbulbs, I don't go through quickly enough to warrant keeping more than 1-2 spares of each size/shape around, so I almost always purchase them either individually or in smaller packages. --- This is my signature.

| adjl 08/31/21 2:40:38 PM #27 | Smooth works better for most applications of peanut butter (mostly anything to do with spreading), but chunky's nice to have in something like oatmeal where the texture contrast adds something to the dish. --- This is my signature.

| adjl 08/31/21 2:36:33 PM #4 | I'm mostly just mad that the list left out Skatebird. Sure, I'm waiting for the (yet-unspecified) Switch release instead of getting it when it releases on PC next month, but I'm still way more interested in that than anything else on there. --- This is my signature.
