Had no-one told this guy about the miracle of the Doc Martens and Thick Socks(tm). I'm short as gently caress and this gives me like an inch, inch and a half, and I'm not risking a pulmonary embolism.

I know a woman who wears boots with lifts and it gives her a good three inches of extra height and brings her just above 5 feet tall.

It might not seem like much, but it's a huge self esteem boost for her and it's almost impossible to notice unless you really stare at her boots from side-on.

Far superior to having your legs broken and then getting a metal frame bolted to your skeleton for months at a time, risking death.

Also, has anyone else noticed that this is a global pandemic, but Trump is now doing the press conferences instead of the CDC?



EDIT: Not since the 9th of March


quote:

On March 9, the day of the CDC's last telebriefing, there were around 500 cases and just 19 deaths. Up to that point, the CDC had been providing regular briefings, usually led by Dr. Nancy Messonnier, director of the CDC's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases.

But things began to change on February 26, when President Donald Trump appointed Vice President Mike Pence to lead a coronavirus response task force. In the days leading to the appointment, there was a clear gulf between the public health messaging from the CDC and statements made by Trump.

On February 25—a day before the appointment—Dr. Messonnier warned during a regular briefing that it was only a matter of time before the pandemic began spreading in the United States and the situation could turn bad quickly. "Disruption to everyday life might be severe," she said as she urged Americans to prepare their families for those disruptions, which are now being realized.

But that frank—and demonstrably accurate and appropriate—messaging was at odds with statements from the president. Earlier that very same day, Trump said that the spread of SARS-CoV-2 is "very well under control in our country," which was untrue.

So, we all know how Fox News was telling everyone the coronavirus was no big deal, right?

Murdoch family took serious precautions against coronavirus as Fox News downplayed risk to public

quote:

The Murdoch family, which owns Fox News, took precautions against the new coronavirus as the network's hosts downplayed the risk posed by the pandemic on TV.

The family abruptly canceled Fox News Chairman Rupert Murdoch's 89th birthday party at his California estate on March 8 "out of concern for the patriarch's health," according to The New York Times' Ben Smith.

Smith previously reported that Lachlan Murdoch, who runs the news network, "knew the virus was coming" in January, because he was "getting regular updates from the family's political allies and journalists in his father's native Australia."

Around the same time, Fox News executives issued an internal memo instructing staffers to work from home and take precautions to deal with a "crisis of this magnitude."

I remember as a kid reading a sci fi novel (by Niven and Pournelle I think) about the discovery of a comet which was going to destroy the world and the person who discovered it had to go into hiding because of all the people looking to kill him because they couldn't tell the difference between "discover" and "created".

I thought the idea was so ridiculous I almost threw the book away. For the next 20 years I still thought it was an incredibly stupid plot contrivance whenever I remembered the book.

I was so wrong.

If anything, the authors didn't go far enough. People would have spent their last days before the comet hit destroying all the telescopes.

The novel was Lucifer's Hammer (by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle), and oooooh did many parts of it not age well.

So many of the "great reads" from my childhood are like this. I read a tonne of sci fi growing up because every other genre just seemed to repetitive and boring. Also, I was a huge nerd and read whatever I could get my hands on that had a halfway decent cover or blurb on the back.

I felt so mature reading those books because they dealt with issues like violence and sex and politics. I was just too young to understand how badly they did so.

I look back at it all now and I feel almost like I was being groomed at a distance by some creepy uncle who kept going on about how mature I am for my age and hey, back at their place they've got a bunch of cool comics and video games. Except they were people separated from me by half a planet and decades of time.

Yeah, everyone was mentioning the Xanth and Sword of Time books as his skeeviest works, but no one's mentioned Bio of a Space Tyrant where the main character, who by then is in his 50s, spends most of one book in a sexual relationship with a severely developmentally delayed child after using his political power to remove the age of consent.

I read a lot of horrible poo poo as a kid, but that was the first book I ever threw in the trash, went back to grab the rest of the series off my bookshelf and threw them out, too.

Is there any crime that should result in temporary or permanent loss of voting rights? Or would those crimes be so few that it’s not even worth worrying about?

The problem with taking away prisoners' right to vote is that it then becomes an "obvious" step for authoritarian governments to simply ensure that anyone who might vote against them becomes a criminal.

And, as one goon stated years ago in another discussion of this very topic - if there are enough felons to influence an election then you, as a society, are doing something horribly wrong.


There might be an argument to be made for people with severe learning difficulties, or brain damage, or in a coma or something like that, but that should be decided on a case-by-case basis by a panel of medical experts with ample room for appealing their decisions.

Beyond that, democracy is simply too important and fragile to have a section of the population disenfranchised, be it for a years or forever.

Trevor Noah sucks but I did like his joke that Scotland's overwhelming whiteness is just kind of a neutral fact while Australia's overwhelming whiteness is a terrifying and horrible.

Because after Australia decided to no longer keep slaves, we loaded them all up on boats and sent them back to where they came from.

By this, I mean they where dumped on whatever islands the boats carrying them got to first. Most likely, they were desert islands and everyone died.

Then we instituted the White Australia policy which lasted until 1973 and held actual paper bag tests for potential immigrants.
