H Mart just down the street from me. Been a while since I shopped there was curious the conditions there.

I am so loving gassy from all these beans. I thought I was supposed to get used to this, jesus... I'm going to be celibate by the time this is over if I keep eating beans. My wife will leave me.

Also Texas isn't letting me recert my 18 months expired paramedic so I can't join the fun yet. Maybe they'll let me soon...

apparently you can reduce gas with baking soda, pressure cooking, soaking, or epazote

1) No, it's still primarily killing Boomers and Silents.
2) The media is hyping up COVID-19 as a Millennial/Zoomer Remover because kids still think that it's not going to affect them and go out & gently caress around and spread it like assholes. I think there might also be some anti-Millennial bias in there among the more rightist press, but for the most part, it's inforunners trying to scare youths into taking things seriously by exaggerating how badly the under-30 crowd has it (i.e. not anywhere near as badly as the over-30 crowd).
3) We're not counting nursing homes. We're severely undercounting the death rate. We're probably already at 2,000 dead a day easily, with a full extra thousand entirely being aging Boomers and Silents.

if it were to theoretically happen to pelosi on or before august 27th, then it would be dsa member shahid buttar vs. a republican in the general, if it happened on august 28th or later, then her name would remain on the ballot and the governor would get to appoint a replacement and then there'd be a special election in 2021

i remember back in the early obama years before obamacare passed people comparing different healthcare systems and taiwan being pointed out as basically the best of all worlds

it certainly seems so now, for sure

Taiwan's healthcare is consistently rated among the highest in the world; not without issues, just like anywhere, but really, really good. In this case though preventing spread of COVID was really the result of well-run bureaucracy and government more than healthcare per se (depending how you demarcate things). Taiwan was taking action when there were literally still just *rumors* of a disease in Wuhan.

There's a number of articles on exactly what Taiwan did and I absolutely recommend everyone read them for a picture of what actual competence is.

Ardennes posted:

It is also how the Cold War worked out and the ROC/Taiwan was unofficially part of the American economic/security umbrella like SK/Japan this included preferential treatment in trade from the 1970s onward.

Also, in Taiwan, there was a quasi-fascist mass murder of the left-wing during the 1950s and it only had free elections in 1996 after decades of KMT rule.

American leftists are completely morons.

Arguably you can even go back as far as the Japanese colonial era; it was Japan's first colony, and in 1895 back when the Japanese Empire were just normal colonial-era bastards, before the military extremists really took over and they went real batshit crazy from ~1920 or so and on. Back then they were determined to show they were better than the Westerners at the colonialism that was in vogue at the time and they legitimately poured a lot of resources and effort into building up the infrastructure which is why despite being so remote it was actually much more developed than it would otherwise have been when the KMT took over, and the KMT basically just inherited fully developed industries instead of having to build poo poo from scratch.

sullat posted:

Also they killed a bunch of native Taiwanese who were like, hey, who are these fuckers and why are they in charge? The answer of course was that they had guns and American money.

The native Taiwanese weren't exactly surprised and had already been under Japanese rule for a long time (also when you say "native" in the case of Taiwan you really need make clear if you're talking about the Han Chinese that moved there and had been around for a few generations or the aboriginal population). The KMT were in fact generally regarded in many ways as worse than the Japanese (the Japanese were, again, typical colonial bastards of the era but courted the Han Chinese populace pretty well, and kept their worst killings to the Aboriginals by and large) when they took over, and it's one reason Japan and the colonial era has never been seen as negatively as it is in mainland China.

reading those closely is hilarious. it's always,

*statistic from china/italy/whereever

*different statistic that sounds similar from the us which is higher than previous statistic

like they will say, 15% of people 30-49 had to go to the hospital in china. in the us, 20% of hospitalized people are 30-55

of course the virus is very dangerous to young adults, but it gets more and more dangerous the older you get

the difference between stores that took cares of things (shields, disinfectant, markers on the floor to triple emphasize distance, controlled flow of traffic etc) is so loving stark compared to places that still haven't even given their checkout people a tub of hand sanitizer. and maybe some tape on the floor at best that people waiting dont take notice of

gun ownership as it stands in the US has been inextricably linked to settler colonialism and the policing of black bodies and the enforcement of the color line. for a large part, it still is (most gun owners, especialyl the ones who spend a lot on guns and ammunition, are chuds).
