so are all of the essays Wolff's? (not a bad thing, mind you)

So the book is divided up into a couple of sections - the first section is dedicated to 'setting the stage' for why COVID and Capitalism were a poo poo mix from the start. His first essay is a reworking of his 2020 video Exposing Economic Myths

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aW5J5aiXPcc

The next essay that I think the thread will probably be really interested in is The Price Gouging of Face Masks that I'll probably read while I wait for this 280mb csv file to upload into SQL server.

why is it that all the covid thread posters always say this whenever it comes up? there’s zero evidence to suggest she made it up and she posted more than one follow up post about it

e:also even if it’s made up I think that posting about dog murder fantasies should also be permaban worthy

Either she was an animal killing braggart or a fabulist braggart, I don't precisely care which permabannable thing happened that called for a permaban, as the permaban that was called for happened.

let’s just move on here, the joke was in poor taste and got probed. The penalty wasn’t really harsh because as mentioned by someone itt the dogbricker saga is forum’s folklore now and there have been plenty of jokes about it around the forums including a banner ad that I don’t think anyone would suggest was condoning animal cruelty.

The news article itself about how pet owners are becoming anti vaccers for their dogs to avoid doggy autism is far more interesting than relitigating the fate of a perma banned poster.

the overall experience of posting with facetoucher cat was traumatic and some people crack jokes in response to trauma even if those jokes are inappropriate or the underlying topic isn't funny

that being said, you need to put the low and slow swabbing advice in OP already, since it is the greatest rising star among the army of the Horseman Pestilence.
