Democrat Nick Levasseur posted on twitter years back saying: "Anime is a prime example of why two nukes just wasn't enough".


...

Japanese anime's emphasis on technology and engineering, is the reason all the best electronic and robot sex gear comes from japan.

In japan kids grow up watching Dr. Stone.

USA kids grow up watching jersey shore and the kardashians.

Those differing cultural values lead to more japanese pursuing careers in science / engineering. While american students are usually only interested in becoming lawyers.

Squarespace isn't "big tech", it's a privately owned company with less than 800 employees. Why should they abide someone using their services to spread misleading information about the biggest public health emergency in a century?

You can regurgitate talking points all you want, you still haven't stated what the truth is about masks or chloroquine.

Even if you had some sort of baseline reasoning for disagreeing with "accepted" medical opinion, choosing a raving lunatic who believes in astral intercourse, alien dna, and demon sperm as your champion discredits everything you say. Claiming to have a cure when you've supposedly only treated a few hundred people makes you look like a snake oil salesman. No MD worth a shit is going to use this type of language, even if you sincerely feel that way.


It wasn't only squarespace. They had videos pulled from youtube, search results removed from google and whatever else done to censor them.

Scientific peer review normally doesn't involve doctors being censored. Contrary to what many seem to believe.

"Astral intercourse, alien DNA, demon sperm." Those points seem 100% unrelated to the topic.


What they are doing has nothing to do with truth, masks or chloroquine... You can have any debate within a scientific context but it will obviously have to be framed around evidence and multiple peer reviewed studies showing said evidence. The vast majority of folk in the scientific community agree in that masks are pretty damn effective at stopping the spread of the virus and the actual studies that exists show hydroxichloroquine simply doesn't do anything either as a preventative treatment or as a cure. So.... what reason is there to listen to these folk when what they are doing has nothing do with medicine or the scientific process?



One of them challenged Dr. Fauci to take a piss test to prove he's not using hydroxychloroquine as a preventive measure.

Scientific peer review doesn't happen on youtube or social media sites either. It happens in scientific or medical journals.

Considering someones body of work when it comes to their medical expertise is 100% related to their medical opinion. She behaves like a complete charlatan. Anecdotal evidence is not scientific evidence and it doesn't make any of her claims valid, regardless of how many people she has claimed to have treated.

Ah, so whataboutism. Classic. People taking it back before there was more data because there seemed to be promise it might be effective isn't grounds for someone to have no credibility on the topic.

She says they're hoarding it for themselves and that "they want Americans to die". This is just conspiratorial nonsense.

Well, sure, but peer review also does not involve peddling substances whose effectiveness has not been proven to the masses. These people absolutely 100% do not have any peer reviewed studies showing the effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine at curing, treating, or preventing covid19. If they did they'd simply show them rather than do literally everything they are doing.

As for the bold part.... no, those are 100% relevant to the topic. I mean, how is it not concerning that someone who for some reason people are listening to for medical advise is raving on about sperm demons and succubi?

Lets be real here, even IF fauci were to debase himself to give that raving lunatic the time of the day and actually go through with this then the moment the tests turn out negative they will simply say the test was faked. Because as i said, this isn't about truth, masks, chloroquine or even medicine or science. Fauci engaging would be, if anything, a horrible mistake. Because that's what trolls want....

This. The worst part is that because of conspiratorial nonsense you have people who get it even though it will do absolutely nothing for them... So you end up with actual scarcity for people who need it. So of course to address this very real issue which is causing actual harm to genuinely sick people conspiracy nutjobs come up with something as astonishingly brazen as saying doctors who are following the science and not treating people with hydroxychloroquine are hoarding it. Fuck people....

Trump retwitted this:


Though going through it most of those don't appear to be studies that should be taken seriously. And the peer reviewed thing is highly questionable at best.
I dont understand why people are so fixed on Hydroxychloroquin. Do they have financial ties to it? With so many stores for and against it, it seems unreliable of a drug to get treated with.

Maybe the presidents tweets will lead to his voters missing the election day.

I honestly think Trump continues to push it because he already said it worked and is pathologically incapable of admitting he was wrong. And Trump's administration has, to my understanding, used government grants to stock up on hydroxuchloroquine. I wouldn't be surprised if one of his stooges actually invested in it knowing trump would promote it. The drug isn't unreliable, it's simply -to the best of our current knowledge based on existing studies- ineffective at treating covid19.

I'm gonna get called evil for this but I don't care. I laughed when I saw the news, and I don't feel bad for him at all. He chose to not wear a mask, despite being told to, and this was the consequence. I'm concerned about the innocent people that may have gotten infected though.

I really hope we somehow get the politicians to give people $600 per week again.

I want a 2000-4000$ stimulus check (for single fillers, 2K for each dependent). Maybe lower the $600 to 400$ but add in relief for rent (cancel all rent). And $10K to student debt relief or cancel

Come on democrats strong arm the republicans to agreeing. Even Mr. Trump wants bigger checks...his reelection depends on it

In terms of politics. Do people feel greater loyalty to.

  • Trump and the USA
  • China, communists, socialists, globalists
All I can think is, if people are unhappy right now.

They will be far more unhappy in the future as a result of the candidates and policy they misguidedly support.

For the same reasons venezuelans were unhappy when left wing socialists regressed their economy from being one of the richest in south america. Into being one of the poorest.

At least as of late youd be hard pressed to find a general population poll thatd show a majority in favor/approval of Trump. I think in general people are loyal to USA...to Trump well only his hardcores are loyal tbh.

I'm not sure how helpful that'll be compared to getting at least $500 per week that helps with bills. That's at least $2,000 per month, and if until December, then about $8000.

I doubt it, there are people, especially republican voters, who are against their own self-interest and will oppose the weekly relief because "free stuff sucks!!" They've been brainwashed pretty badly to be against anything good for them.

Correction: Trump OR USA, there's no Trump and USA. Trump is anti-USA, and his supporters are as well. Trump and his supporters are bigots who don't care about Americans, they only care about themselves, and it's silly of you to pit it as Trump and USA vs. China and all the other things that you don't know much about.

And apparently, it was the USA who interfered in Venezuela in an attempt to get people against the socialist leader. Would be nice if you knew anything about anything, then maybe it'd be worth taking you seriously.

If I can, maybe I'll return later and reply to the above two posts.

Until then I hope people have a nice laugh reading the headline below.

Headline:

The US is offering bounties of $10 million to anyone who can catch hackers meddling in the presidential election

i think his point is that some developing nations have limited testing, specially asian and some dont want to do testing so that their numbers dont go up...there have been news articles in other countries that say that... But that doesnt make his post any less absurd... cos when you consider percentages of population infected tested, in terms of those percentages, these countries are fairing way better than the US...

But facts dont matter..... calling everything fake is just absurd.
--- Double Post Merged, , Original Post Date: ---

alright, i checked some stats online:
checking the total number of tests, and number of positive cases, here are some numbers;

USA : 9%
Russia : 3%
India : 7.5%
UK: 3%

Now i wasn't able to find Brazil, but even if Ithe other nations were not testing, the absolute numbers would get affected, the percentages would only shift marginally.....

Mainly for his supporters. They're the main people who don't think his bs is stupid and actually believe him, and he's fishing for their continued support.

Testing is a bad policy.

Its not for his supporters.

Its on his advisors and industry experts feeding him bad info, as always.

Hydroxychloroquine and closing borders early were the only times he didn't receive bad information and advice.

Bad policy? how?

Yes, continue to lay his mistakes at the feet of the people advising him, and never hold him accountable for anything he does. As if he listens to every single bit of advice given to him and he has no agency himself.

Enough with with hydroxychloroquine, unless you can show any non-dubious individuals championing it despite all the evidence against it.
