Because he was connected to his username via shilling for the companies his posting defended and supported, by someone who worked with/knew him in real life. The yearbook thing was to confirm they weren't pinning the name to the wrong person, and it's not like they revealed his address or social security number or anything. It's also in the public interest to know he was likely getting paid to disparage Sanders' healthcare plans.

For the plague thing, obviously it was a different infection entirely, but there was effective variolation against smallpox going on 3 centuries before in China.

Dudes not just being dumb, but doing some stupid "trap sprung" about how we survived the Black Death without vaccines. Just ignoring the insane death toll, the fact that the Black Death surged around Europe for 300 years before finally subsiding, and the general "magic thinking makes me special and smart" poo poo.

I have planning permission with the house to keep 8 chickens (no cockerels is mentioned numerous times and they go into great detail explaining what one is) and what’s stopping me is the idea of what do do with them when the end comes or they stop laying because I just couldn’t you know
When they go off their lay you do nothing you're keeping them as pets not a professional farmer.

Get four - six chickens, then in a couple years get a couple more (and look up flock introduction). Then get new chickens as old ones die. You'll have a steady supply of eggs and fat happy chicken blorbs. If one gets sick or old enough that you decide their quality of life is cruelty level you can either do the thing or take them to a vet for the big sleep, depending on sadness vs budget.

Yes you can, typhoid and typhus for example.

Edit: \/\/\/ I don't know, I still think if it's in the public interest, it's more holding someone accountable. His tweets were showing up on cable news, he was bilking people for a patreon, and he was doing interviews for "resistance" websites.

As someone who used to play Risk a lot with my dad, no one who plays Risk thinks it's reflective of actual strategy. Also no one plays Risk anymore.

Also also fun fact about my Risk-playing dad, they used to have a house rule that if you lost a country you'd have to run down the apartment stairs, run around the building, jump over the grill outside, and run back up by a certain time limit. That's what they had to do to make the dang game entertaining and I'm sure being hopped up on coke in the 80's didn't hurt.

Some friends of mine in Austin would have two large teams of people at two different tables, one half playing Risk and the other playing Monopoly, and each team would use the proceeds from a game of Monopoly to pay for their military campaigns.

We never actually played it, but a few friends and I once made vague plans for a summer game of "Marathon Risk", where battles would be played out as games of Stratego instead of dice rolls, with various handicaps based on dice pool size.

We hadn't heard about Axis & Allies yet by that point in our lives.

There's "War on Terror", where you can use oil money to fund terrorists if you don't want to go to war directly

It also comes with a ski mask that has the word EVIL stitched across the forehead

War on terror is a surprisingly good board game, considering they made it just for the joke of having a game called "War on Terror" where the win condition is controlling the oil. It also has a spinning arrow named THE AXIS OF EVIL that you occasionally spin to determine who is the terrorists right now. (They get to wear the ski mask)

Have these people seen the old timey drawings/illustrations of early innoculation? As soon as humans figured out they could die less they were snorting scabs and poking cow pus into themselves, people in the olden days were desperate for anything to improve survival because a vaccine-free world sucks

I can’t say I have either. I thought people in general were rather sceptic of inoculation at that time. Germ theory hadn’t been widely understood yet by the general public, and some form of the four humours formed most people’s view on sickness and health.
I’d love to be proven wrong with some sick rear end 19th century etchings though

Lmao, my job just sent an email saying "If you would like to observe Juneteenth please contact your manager to make arraignments to accommodate missed work. You may use PTO for the time off or your floating 'Holiday' charge [Which is what they turned Columbus Day into last year] ."

Like....I can just loving use PTO for anything, that's not a loving holiday. Maybe next year they'll add it but not this year.

Worst part is he was a successful comedian. He was a regular on BBC1's comedy sports quiz "They Think It's All Over" for years. It was basically the sports equivalent of "Never Mind The Buzzcocks," with Gary Lineker and some cricket bloke as the team captains, Hurst and Rory McGrath as the regular comedians, then a different guest on each team each week. I don't know if Hurst was always a right-wing rear end in a top hat, or if something broke his brain.

There were skeptics, same as nowadays. Only they claimed things like the cowpox vaccine would mutate you into a cowperson, which is way cooler than 5g.
