Platystemon posted:How is that not a textbook case of doxxing? 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.

Crain posted: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. Also you can't vaccinate against a bacterial disease.

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.

Ah for some reason I thought vaccine as a term was specific to viruses. Guess I'm the idiot this time.

Soysaucebeast posted: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. 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.

If your military campaign is a money sink, you’re doing it wrong. Now I want to play a game that simulates the MIC.

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.

Ichabod Sexbeast posted:There's "War on Terror", where you can use oil money to fund terrorists if you don't want to go to war directly 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 sucksnightchild12 posted:I like this, but I don't think you went far enough.

Bismuth posted:Have these people seen the old timey drawings/illustrations of early innoculation? 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

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.

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.

Only they claimed things like the cowpox vaccine would mutate you into a cowperson, which is way cooler than 5g.
