Don't forget, Don the con brags that he coined the term, and relishes that he brainwashed so many people into using it. Very "big lie" stuff.

Reminds me of how a Hitler fan/apologist in Thailand has a million flat earthers parroting word usages like "spinning ball" and "indoctrination."

Agreed and to be clear I don't mean only women should be raising their voice, I'm just astonished by how many women die hard supporters act directly in contradiction to their own interest. I wouldn't hire a pedophile to watch my kid for example.

Then there is the subtopic of how scale matters. The virus flourishes depending on how many viral particles are ingested, sort of like how someone's crop might depend on how many seeds they sow. Once your viral load reaches a certain critical point, the virus can multiply faster than it dies.

But what I'm referring to most are those that weren't aware I guess that it was to protect the people around you. Whenever you expel viral particles through your breath, coughing, sneezing, or talking, it's embedded in mucus and water. ***Masks are nearly 100% effective at trapping this form***
February 13, 2025 at 11:50 AM
You know what I mean, those trying to compare the particle size with the whole size of the Mask and asking how can a mask possibly protect against small particles. That's a related topic, with people that don't understand static electricity and offset layering of fabrics.

And doesn't Tesla get away with not paying any taxes at all even though it breaks in billions in government money? Isn't this just another scheme to fill the pockets of oligarchy? Those of you with empty pockets, silence is complicity. If you're hungry it's going to be because you wanted to be.

Simon Says BE OUTRAGED. It's almost comical.

Obviously it did not stay free forever. The name changed as well, and there is a Wikipedia page for it. Check out "Phazuul." Many have heard of Silicon Valley but fewer realize that South Florida was an epicenter of social networking advances 30-40 years ago. Related to IBM and Motorola being local.

Is question 2a to identify those that don't know the topic? Isn't it common knowledge that the United States and many other advanced Nations target 2%? Or did I read this wrong?

Well I'm certainly curious already about the CEOs, particularly since inflation has already begun to rise with the very first measurement of the new term. Higher costs means higher inflation, isn't it pretty straightforward? Now I need to read the article :(

Which is weird, right, since neither of them are religious then at least one of them checks all the boxes for the things you should not do if you are God fearing and religious.

Sociopath, malignant narcissism, and megalomania. The Very sort of fascists that should not be leading anything let alone the most powerful Nation on earth. In the end, I Told You So won't help us much.

And I don't know if you know this but for the first time in over a hundred years not a single County was flipped by democrats. And in seven swing states, 88 counties show manipulation in the vote which fell just barely outside the range for a mandatory recount

He was in a tough position, because nepotism should not be a thing. And pardoning a family member smacks of nepotism no matter what the circumstances are. But Trump opened that door when he pardon his son-in-law's dad.

Who? The courts? I suspect they would have gone with what is normal for other first time offenders with the same charges. About 92% got prison time and the median time was about 15 months in prison.
