I had a short stay in the county lockup the last time I was in Washington state and demanded to get some D all night long.   Suffice to say it didn’t turn out well for me when I went to shower the next day after I bent over to pick up the bar of soap I had dropped.:ph34r:

I was wondering when someone was going to bring up that interpretation of vitamin D....

 

BTW: Was your cellmate's name Ben Dover?

Yeah Tucker, let's have a guy like Dr Oz be that guy.  Guy must have overdosed on Swanson TV dinners growing up.

 

I'm struggling to see the difference between this ^ and Chinese state media. 

 

We complain about our media outlets having one slant or another favouring a political party, but we've never reached this kind of level. Other than Rebel Media/Erza Levant which really never amounted to much.

The difference between the governments themselves is shrinking.

The US government is trying to get the criteria changed for Covid deaths- so as to lower their numbers. Sounds very much like China, working the pr machine.

The good news is, you might be able to shine a big light down your poop shooter.

Glad someone else noticed this. What's also disturbing when politicians tell their coroners offices don't report Covid deaths. People are freaking out that China is not being transparent. But turning a blind eye to Big Brother. 

I also find it hilarious that guys in masks, and tactical gloves and AR-15's are whining America isn't opening up more. 

 

It's going to be a while before things go back to normal. I respect health officials and leaders taking a more cautious approach. Gradual opening of things up is just fine. 

yeah but its for "freedom". Yikes. 

 

The US is a place of extremes. Trouble is the extreme endpoints now have millions of weirdos vs a handful.

America and China are not at al dissimilar 

 

China endlessly strong arms everyone.


Case in point.  

 

China threatening Australia with economic retaliation over investigation in to covid concerns.  

 

vs

 

America threatening various friendly nations with economic pressure in order to secure better lines of supply and sole rights to them

 

Another.

 

Chinese state owned media saying exactly what the leaders tell them

 

vs

 

American corp owned media saying what their owners/lobbyists tell them

 

US news media is largely owned by a few major corporations with heavy hands in US politics, one hand strokes the other as they say.  Their owners have been making bank the last few years and they want that to continue.  China and America are equal opposites of the same coin

When I read the article mentioning pools will not open, it mentioned how lots of people were asking if they would be remaining closed. Really? You had to ask? Really? Face Palm GIF

People are in need of their vitamins, chlorine and urine.

the armed takeovers of legislatures and even businesses in Texas e.g. are very troubling to me. Once you cross that line what do you do it for next time?

Personally, I think the nickname Vanilla Isis is one of the best things to come out of this Pandemic.

 

Of course that might change, if a certain "Agent Orange" should happen to contract it....

It blows me away that a place like a state legislature isn't an exception to open carry laws....there have to be same.

 

Do they allow guys to wander around Elementary schools armed to the teeth after Sandy Hook?

Even the Fox News Entertainment know the dangerous precedent it sets.  Course they were the twats that embolded/encouraged the hicks in the mob in the first place.

Michigan has armed protestors using Nazi slogans and salutes in the capitol building.  Representatives feel unsafe after numerous threats have been made towards them.  African Americans and visible minorities are arming themselves to escort elected officials to their offices.

 

Irony, people protesting in the capitol building are saying this sets a dangerous precedent and that at no point was anyone in danger.

 

Now...why is it only an issue in America who is armed based on skin color?

 

This whole mess has utterly exposed the divide in America
