Most of the people who "get the flu" from the dead- or weakened- virus vaccine are just experiencing the innate immune system response. When the immune system recognizes a pathogen it begins antibody manufacture, but that takes time. In the meanwhile the body has a "standard red alert" sort of thing that includes slight fever, aches, and other "flu-like" symptoms to sort of shore up a beachhead so the infection doesn't get too established before antibody response can kick in. Your immune system has no way of knowing that there's no real danger of infection taking hold from a dead or weakened pathogen, so it goes to battlestations anyway. It lasts a couple days until the body realizes it isn't really sick. Of course some people who get vaccinated do get the flu anyway, either because they were infected before being vaccinated and just hadn't broken out in symptoms yet or because the vaccine isn't 100% proof due to the sheer variety of flu strains. This plus the above innate reaction makes people think they get sick because of the vaccine because the human brain is poo poo when it comes to correlation vs causation. Get your loving flu vaccine.

Eulogistics posted:The Fort Hood shooter was one Ivan Lopez, who was being treated for mental issues but had not yet been diagnosed with anything. Do we even know if he was Muslim? Puerto Rico has approximately 5,000 Muslims out of 3.75 million people, so while anything's possible I'm going to go with "probably not".

Reminder that Michael Reagan was adopted by Reagan and his first wife, spent most of his childhood in boarding school upon Ron's marriage to Nancy, and at his high school graduation his father introduced himself to Michael with "My name's Ronald Reagan. What's yours?" If there has ever been a clearer-cut case of a boy spending his life idolizing and seeking approval from an emotionally distant father I've never encountered it.

Huh? Edit to include text, highlighting mine: "the Law Enforcement Officers Protection Act of 1985 posted:"(B) The term 'armor piercing ammunition' means a projectile or projectile core which may be used in a handgun and which is constructed entirely (excluding the presence of traces of other substances) from one or a combination of tungsten alloys, steel, iron, brass, bronze, beryllium copper, or depleted uranium. Such term does not include shotgun shot required by Federal or State environmental or game regulations for hunting purposes, a frangible projectile designed for target shooting, a projectile which the Secretary finds is primarily intended to be used for sporting purposes, or any other projectile or projectile core which the Secretary finds is intended to be used for industrial purposes, including a charge used in an oil and gas well perforating device.". Partly due to that part about "may be used in a handgun" becoming applicable to M855 ammunition (which has a steel projectile core) because of the growing availability of cut-down AR pistols, BATFE is seeking to change what "the Secretary finds is primarily intended to be used for sporting purposes" means, which is entirely within their authority as I understand it.

Deadulus posted:It does the old an act of true love will save you troupe. The movie leads on that it is the love from the male character that will save the girl. It flips to the love from her sister (sacrificing herself) is what saves her. It's her own act of love for her sister that saves Anna, which gives her a lot more agency than the traditional "someone save me" princess. So you can see why assholes would hate it.

icantfindaname posted:So is it just me or is the level of tantrum rage among the right starting to climb to its inevitable peak when Hillary wins the election? My local radio man is bitching about how none of the scandals are sticking to Hillary and this is the angriest I've heard him in a long time. I honestly think if she wins the shitfit will be significantly worse than with Obama, at least within the RW media bubble "Peak" implies that it will calm down after the election.

VitalSigns posted:I would love to read a book about the dolchstosslegende, because the mental gymnastics required to ignore that the kaiser was a loving idiot and the army had no plan to win the war after August 1914, and blame it all on the people who took over after Willy resigned must be incredible. Well, we know that now. But at the time the German public - and the military, including a certain corporal - were being told that they were on the verge of victory. Oh sure, we might be having some shortages, but every war has that and with the brave sacrifice of all Germans we're sure to win! Your unit might have gotten smashed up in that last push, but overall we're close to winning this thing! Keep it up boys, the enemy will crack any day now thanks to our skill and valor! The dolchstoßlegende was entirely based on the internal propaganda that the German Empire was putting out, that made the people believe that victory was imminent. The sudden and (without the real context) inexplicable surrender of the government must therefore have had some other reasoning behind it - something sinister. And Germany had had a pretty dark streak of antisemitism ever since Martin Luther's syphilis finally drove him crazy, so hey, that must be the real cause. Literally a conspiracy theory that gripped most of the nation. Lemniscate Blue fucked around with this message at 13:54 on Sep 6, 2015 |

She's a bellwether. She says things that are outrageous and surprising, but her saying them at least gets them talked about and exposes people to the idea. Then, a couple years later, someone else proposes the same thing and it doesn't seem quite so outrageous because hey, haven't we heard that before? I forget who said it though... She's not the only bellwether in conservative media, nor is she the best anymore, but she was one of the first to rise to the attention of the public at large in the modern era.

In one situation a law breaker is ignoring laws, in the other a law follower is followong the law. In addition to why everyone else is calling you an rear end in a top hat I just wanted to point out that a person should not be referred to as "it" unless they specifically request, and doing so says a lot about your state of mind and willingness to dehumanize people who are not like you, Buffalo Bill.
