🥄Mah spoon is too big!🍌

You know, it really surprised me that pro wrestling and public attitudes to it haven't quite yet evolved to be as queer/progressive as gently caress. It's got ridiculous outlandish pageantry with people performing in a variety of almost cartoonish personas and is theatrical at its core. Maybe I'm just conflating because the only other spectator sport I generally care to watch, roller derby, shares a lot of the theatricality and persona-based stuff and is basically a huge draw for the rainbow crowd, I dunno.

Regardless, the fact that one promotion has both a transgender women's champion and a drag queen wrestler who is positioned as a face, that another has a woman as their world champion, and that intergender matches in general are becoming more of a thing as of late, is heartening. Can you imagine any of that happening just 20 years ago during the Attitude era where the women's (sorry, Diva's) division consisted of bullshit like bra and panties matches?

If you put two sea sponges into a blender, put it on puree, then dump the remains into salt water, they will reconstitute into two seperate sea sponges.

Weird Mike is trying to do a face turn because he can see the writing on the wall for right wing grifts. He'll be doing man Goop by the summer. Which will mean a pastel rebrand of his GORILLA MIND product line

Low end mortality rate is more like 0.8. It's .4% outside of Hubei province.

I'd recommend at least reading the wiki page on COVID-19 instead of non-verified randos on twitter chasing clout.

And can you believe it, her doomsday predictions line up exactly with her political stance on healthcare!

My wife is a public heath expert and a friend is director of infectious diseases at a hospital system. Don’t worry, I’ll stick with them over randos on Twitter or Wikipedia (BTW even Wikipedia says 1-3%). I couldn’t find anything from the CDC saying anything like 40-70% and they were both like “uh...no idea where that comes from”

I'm sure that your expertise at finding more appealing numbers is doing you well, but more recent reports put it at 2.3%

A Harvard epidemiologist said it in an interview with The Atlantic.

https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/02/covid-vaccine/607000/

quote:

Lipsitch predicts that within the coming year, some 40 to 70 percent of people around the world will be infected with the virus that causes COVID-19. But, he clarifies emphatically, this does not mean that all will have severe illnesses. “It’s likely that many will have mild disease, or may be asymptomatic,” he said. As with influenza, which is often life-threatening to people with chronic health conditions and of older age, most cases pass without medical care. (Overall, about 14 percent of people with influenza have no symptoms.)

I googled it and a couple of epidemiologists were saying it.

Like, what's your game here? Scaring people, getting quotes, I don't get all the doomsaying going on around here. You wanna be right that bad? It's like people get a thrill out of saying worst case scenarios to people, I don't understand it at all.
