I guess this means I have achieved Full Incel.
Go, me.
Achievement unlocked? Seriously, take some bitpennies, exchange them for Litecoin, and get a good quality hooker. Litecoin clears transactions faster so you can pay her and not wait around for the confirmations before getting her out of your room. Get a pair, not much additional cost.  Myself, I guess I prefer trashy women, but not tattooed.  |

Being the unfortunate child of a Boomer (aka Millenial) just plain sucks. I am not sure why the boomers hated their kids so much, but they gave their kids nothing but an anchor in the swim classes of life after being given it all on a silver plate by their parents.... https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2020/05/27/millennial-recession-covid/ So many of the fuckers have been fired that Gen X is now the biggest population in the workforce again. Which is fucking amazing!  And now the millenials have the amazing position of being the *worst* generation in history. As in since 1800 history....  As Agent J said: "Yeah, sucks, don't it?" |

- Carnage happening in Brazil due to Jair Bolsonaro misplaced policy, 2 health ministers already resigned. What's this about specifically? Sao paulo digging 13.000 graves to cover all those corpses, people die in their own blood because they don't have ventilators. Massgraves appears all over they country.    Ooooh. I remember working on this stuff with other countries. The soccer fields turned into graves were pretty interesting to spot next to the little burned huts. Reality exists. Oh well. |

Aw jesus, they got the Gouda tulip bulb reference in there!

No I will not read and respond to the report, it takes to long and isn't relevant to the Bolsonaro thing.
It's a trick old as the hills, you throw a report (that you usually haven't read yourself and) out there for your opponents to read hoping they will just throw in the towel.
And the fact that it is published in a reputable magazine, does not mean that it isn't biased.
Reputable periodicals will typically vet studies like this quite intensely. Peer review isn't perfect, but it's far more objective than an NRA sponsored report printed in their house organ or a random blog post on the Daily Stormer. I will respond to the headline though.
So you're sticking your fingers in your ears and going "nyah nyah"? :-) What are they saying with their report? basically, they are just stating the obvious, People without guns don't commit suicide with guns. Is that even in dispute? The real question is, does it matter? did suicides go down? or did people go on committing suicide with other means? I think you know the answer. People without guns don't have have accidents with guns, again quite a nobrainer, if you own something that you can have an accident with some people are going to have accidents, if that is a knife, car, gun, or anything else really doesn't matter. Accidents happen, what's their point?
And lastly, gun related homicides fell, again, yes so what? that's to be expected, but did homicides fall? or did people just switch weapons? I'm guessing the latter. They just don't like guns and are a using science paper to scare people by stating the obvious. 1) Read it. Check the data. Think and be willing to change your mind if the data is accurate. 2) Cut it out with the strawmen arguments. Focus on one discussion at a time. Now, on Bolsonaros relaxation of gun laws, his point is that if good citizens have the ability to shoot the bad guys, the bad guys will think twice before trying to rob someone, in the beginning that might very well lead to more gun deaths, as the bad guys are being culled, but that's not a bad thing, it's just according to plan. Sounds great! Got any studies or evidence to back this up, I seem to recall people saying there were plenty of them. I guess Dirty Harry movies would count for something... If the answer is you're just pulling this out of your ass, that's fine. It's called bullshitting and people love to do it. Just never, NEVER confuse bullshit with data or try to suggest that bullshit should be taken over data and facts. And the statement "this time it's different" is equally bullshit. Here I'll bullshit with you: I think people should be allowed to own and carry .303 to .50 cal heavy machine guns. Partially because they would be useful to fight off pirates on a seastead, partially because the chance of walking into a mall with one and shooting people is pretty much zero. But that's bullshit, it's not supported by any data. Really. Play with BS all you want, but when you need to make a real decision always follow the data and urge others to follow the data. Otherwise you're just someone's tool. |

Jesus, thank you for turning me on to this. |

At least if Brazil legalizes guns we can start seriously considering it as a seastead destination.
The Atlantic Ocean off of Brazil is a vast open area with no hurricanes and low waves.
We have not considered it due to the crime.
those composite 3d printed seastead mock ups of yours dont look very protective when the ordinance starts flying. hide in the steel spar? how to return fire? remote turrets? see: waterworld for an (extreme and somewhat satiric) example. perhaps im being punked on this though. Interesting problem for a seastead. Part of the reason why I think .50 caliber weapons and heavy machine guns (M1919 and above, stuff like that) should be completely legal. In this case a pair of M2's would go a long way toward protecting a seastead from pirates without being something I'd have to worry about showing up at the local shopping mall. |

At least the girl on the table is wearing pants. That is hygienic and helps to prevent the spread of disease.
Now, how the hell does the woman on the bed get an ass like that? Hyper-impressed.

1) Ibian is on deep more ignore.
2) Doing a quick google on
"does violent crime diminish when gun bans are lifted"
Did not bring up many studies that supported this assertion. Perhaps you have to use a different query?
Pls support your sources. Preferably with scholarly research, impact factor > 3 would be a start.
Or just say it's your opinion and be done with it. I'm always ok with bullshit, just like to ensure it's identified as such.

The facts and data don't really back that up at all though do they.
I've lived in the USA, and I've lived in Australia. Much, much, much less chance of being shot in Australia. That's a cold hard fact, no matter what you want to believe.
There is a decent argument to made about the enslaved by tyrants thing. Maybe a lot more gun deaths are worth that. But arguing from a "safer with more guns" perspective is not backed by anything except your feelings.
Well, actually, there _is_ a lot of data to back up such a statement. Your anecdote, trying to conflate two different cultures, is what's irrelevant here. Scholarly data in the US indisputably show that, in areas where gun bans are lifted, violent crime diminishes. Cite? |

That report is probably ordered and paid for by some gun hating left wing group who would clutch at any straw to make gun ownership look bad.
I don't have the time to dig for the reports I'm referring to, but you all know that they are out there.
And what's "A major global report" anyway, how does it differ from "a minor local report".
The paper appears to have been published in JAMA, Journal of the American Medical Association. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2698492JAMA currently has an Impact Factor of 51.3 (whoah!). For comparison, Science is 40, and Nature is 43. In order to maintain that kind of factor they have to publish pretty well peer-reviewed stuff. So please stop it with the "you all know that they are out there" and either post peer reviewed facts or concede. Reality exists man, I really recommend living by it even when it is at odds with your person opinions/beliefs (as I did with the whole 140mph being safe thing). (Note: A totally fair argument would be "I don't give a fuck if people die, I want my guns!". Use that instead if that's what you really mean) |

Well, perhaps the guy was driving from the hospital and just didn't want to remove the mask with his hands before washing them? Or he's some "essential worker"?  Reasonable. My personal process is to open car door, remove mask with glove on (I wear one glove, it's for the "dirty" hand, my "clean" hand stays in my pocket), toss mask in back, remove glove inside out, toss glove in back, get in. That way I am not blowing virus particles around inside the car and the car itself is "clean". Subjective, but gotta have some rituals. :-) N95 masks are positive vent, right? (ie when you exhale it goes out a one-way valve) |

We might have a little bit of different ideas about masks, and I don't really consider them to be necessary when outdoors (especially if no one is around) or if you are in your car by yourself, so I have seen people wearing masks in those circumstances, and just seems to be overkill to me, but of course a personal choice, and great that they have masks, and I understand that if someone just gets used to wearing a mask a lot of the time, then maybe they will fidget around less with it.
lotta cars have HEPA filters on the fresh air (cowl) intakes now. unsure what the rating is though. check the manuals for your wheels. and of course you need to know how to set the hvac controls correctly, including allowing for exhaust direction due to windows being open etc. rtfm dyor maybe they are not enough, unsure but hey look it up for your make and model. Personally I'm not worried in my car or outdoors in general. Studies show this thing is mainly spread by closer contact so I gear up when going into a building or talk to a person closer than 6 feet (say like yesterday at the dump). No sense wasting the filters, and even though the respirator is really comfortable it's annoying to wear constantly (they are however designed for workers to spend 8 hours around asbestos/lead dust, so they are pretty nice) Teslas have a NBC mode where the outside air is filtered then pumped into the cabin under positive pressure to keep cracks and seal leaks to a minimum. That to me is a bit much, and it can take a *month* to charge a Tesla from a 1kw solar array. One big advantage of this virus over nuclear is that leaving the mask in the sun will kill the virus particles accumulated in the filters. This is a good thing. Meantime, this is funny:  |

The problem with that is, that the real idiots are all locked up inside.
Life must be great then. Interesting side-note: I've spoken about driving my Porsche at >140mph on the highways comfortably during the earlier days of the lock-down. It is fast, comfortable, and I can do a 1 hour drive in about 30 minutes quite safely. Studies have come out that show the deaths per mile driven on highways have skyrocketed since the lock-down. Since I believe in reality and facts, I must conclude that speed limits+cops are important and even though I find 130+ to be completely safe in my car that is a subjective analysis that is contradicted by facts. Because contradictions do not exist my premises that speed limits+cops does not reduce deaths is wrong and I am slowing down. I believe in correcting myself when in error. This is very important. Agreed. I've been wearing my P100 NBC gear when going out, unlike cloth masks it actually will provide solid protection against a moron with a cough. However I have a limited supply of cartridges as I truly figured I would be dealing with nukes which have a shorter half life for the bad stuff. Running for a year is going to be complicated and no there are no spares to be found.
Totally disagreed. I haven't worn a single mask or gloves, but I guess according to you, I'm an idiot and a moron. BTW I would, if there was a reason. [/quote] You disagree with my statement that I have a limited supply of cartridges? That's odd. #stay safe
#stay locked
#stay scared
I like the #stayalive and #stayincontrol thing, my life is the most precious asset in the universe to me, and I will not sacrifice it to a God, Political party, or ideology. I'll trust facts, vetted by authoritative sources. Science, Nature, JAMA, and the like would be authoritative based on Impact score. Google+some shit poster on YouTube... less authoritative.
My point exactly in the first place.
There is no escaping this - that is - if you want an actual social life.
Sure there is. The goal is to either have it die out in the wild before I get it (see SARS, MERS, and the like where governments actually DID SOMETHING) or get it as late as possible to take advantage of the best medical information at the time. Couple of months ago I would have been shoved on a ventilator to die in agony. Two months ago I would be pumped full of that Trump shilled shit to make money for one of his friends. Last month I would have been injected with bleach..... Thanks, but no. |

A problem with other people being idiots is that their stupidness affects the non-idiots, too.
True, however at least there is a way to spot them: No mask=idiot. Run like fucking hell. Would be nice, if at least, systems were put in place so that regular people could get decent personal protective equipment such as n95 masks, but it is crazy that we are several months into this matter and still have not figured out how to make and adequately distribute n95 masks to regular people or even test kits to professional facilities get some priorities straight..
Instead, we neither need personal protective equipment, apparently, nor do we need to have testing available and carried out.
Agreed. I've been wearing my P100 NBC gear when going out, unlike cloth masks it actually will provide solid protection against a moron with a cough. However I have a limited supply of cartridges as I truly figured I would be dealing with nukes which have a shorter half life for the bad stuff. Running for a year is going to be complicated and no there are no spares to be found. On the positive side I'm still on my first set of filters so they are lasting longer than I thought. Good. I cannot believe the complete levels of incompetence seen in this event. I swear to fucking God, if gremlins existed we would all be dead in a day: "Remember: Don't expose it to water...." "Fuck you, I know my rights (throws gremlin into the nearest ocean)" Much like no science fiction movie through the 80's really thought of an internet, no disaster movie ever had people begging to be the first to go (well, Lovecraft....) |

Yeah, it's fun to watch the pictures of hundreds of people in large pools, frolicking around. Or jam packed on the beach, only a few wearing masks. Last time it was just a few thousand people coming back from Europe. Now we have a lot more infected all ready to roll through the countryside...
Stack your coins, live smart, and ride it out. Hopefully this will thin the herd of idiots in the world, this would not be a bad thing.
