She was going to run a YouTube channel... from the library? :stare:

She's rarely been able to hold down a job because she hates "The Man" and "Authoriteh". I don't think she's ever had her own internet. She's also super paranoid about having facebook so she warps and distorts all her photos so they can't track her through facial recognition, and sometimes makes a huge announcement about how she's deleting her facebook to stay safe and free, but then is always back within 3 months ranting about more poo poo she hates. Her videos don't take up much bandwidth, they're only ever slideshows with free stock photos, clipart, text, and unfunny voiceovers. She's spent her whole life pursuing a dream of being a standup comedian and failing miserably.

Ooooooooooof I just found out that for the past month my aunt, who I'm estranged from and who unfriended me on FB after I refused to respond to a string of nasty messages, has been posting a bunch of TERFy poo poo on her page and was working on a "satirical youtube channel focused on politics, economics, culture, and the whole gender ID thing".

But now she's lost internet access because the libraries are closed :laffo:

One conversation at a time.



They're not happy in Egypt ..
They're not happy in Libya ..
They're not happy in Morocco ..
They're not happy in Iran ..
They're not happy in Iraq ..
They're not happy in Yemen ...
They're not happy in Afghanistan ...
They're not happy in Pakistan ..
They're not happy in Syria ..
They're not happy in Lebanon ...

SO.. WHERE ARE THEY HAPPY?

They're happy in Australia ..
They're happy in Canada ..
They're happy in England ..
They're happy in France ..
They're happy in Italy ..
They're happy in Germany ..
They're happy in Sweden ..
They're happy in the USA ..
They're happy in Norway ..
They're happy in Holland ..
They're happy in Denmark ..

Basically, they're happy in every country that is not Muslim and unhappy in every country that is!

AND WHO DO THEY BLAME?

Not Islam.
Not their leadership.
Not themselves

THEY BLAME THE COUNTRIES THEY ARE HAPPY IN !

AND THEN- They want to change those countries to be like, THE COUNTRY THEY CAME FROM WHERE THEY WERE UNHAPPY!
Excuse me, but I can't help wondering...
How frigging dumb can you get?
Everyone seems to be wondering why Muslim Terrorists are so quick to commit suicide.

Lets have a look at the evidence:
- No Christmas
- No television
- No nude women
- No football
- No pork chops
- No hot dogs
- No burgers
- No beer
- No bacon
- Rags for clothes
- Towels for hats
- Constant wailing from some bloke in a tower
- More than one wife
- More than one mother-in-law
- You can't shave
- Your wife can't shave
- You can't wash off the smell of donkeys
- You cook over burning camel poo poo
- Your wife is picked by someone else for you
- and your wife smells worse than your donkey
- Then they tell them that "when they die, it all gets better"???

Well No poo poo Sherlock!....
It's not like it could get much worse?

The 5G and #WiFiKills in this post made me think of another one I saw that said to turn off your WiFi because 5G is what causes the coronavirus.

I'm assuming the logic (if any) is that 5 GHz WiFi is the same thing as Fifth-Generation cell phone technology (which is in the 24 GHz to 72 GHz range).

No, it's kind of the other way around. Fear of 5G is just the latest outgrowth of a general wifi panic.

Maybe three weeks ago? The closest library to my house is the fanciest, most modern library I've ever seen and it certainly doesn't have filming areas or video equipment. It's got game consoles (with Minecraft and one other game that I forget) and you can sit a stack of books on the machine and somehow check them all out instantly, and it's got wifi and computers you can book time on, so I guess you could upload YouTube videos there if you filmed them somewhere else. But if you've got the phone you presumably filmed the video on then you could just use that instead.

Huh, we have cameras you can check out for in library use, and we have a special branch that does all sorts of extra techy stuff like recording studios, 3D printers, etc.

Seventeen years is two decades, and there's been no more SARS epidemics since then. Contrast with MERS, which has been recurring every few years since the first time.

Of course I'm oversimplifying, but the point stands, we don't know if Covid will give immunity or how long it will last.

There's been no more SARS epidemics because the virus burned through all available hosts and died out. The reason we were able to get it under control so quickly was because you didn't spread the virus until you developed symptoms so just basic fever screening worked well.

Compare to this strain that can be spread for days before you show symptoms.

Yeah, I think the jury was absolutely justified in finding OJ not guilty and I also absolutely think he killed Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman.

I took a bunch of criminal justice/criminal investigations classes in college in '01 and '02 and the LAPD'S handling of the OJ case was regularly used as the Goofus to a proper investigations Gallant.

Gallant tells the truth on the witness stand, even if it may be personally embarassing.

Goofus perjures himself in front of the jury, proving he, the lead investigator, is willing to commit crimes to get the outcome he wants from the case.

I read the introduction of the book. His theory is that the only way for humans to progress is to maintain a complicated economic system in which everyone is involved in production, but the parasites like the wealthy elites set up everything so they can reap the benefits of capitalism without contributing. This then pivots to "welfare is bad."

He's Andrew Ryan, but doughy.
