Dashing? But I'm not even moving!


I don't think they're wrong about the grounds of a lawsuit. Anyone who paid for an account, and then lost it or had it disabled, but at no point clicked through something that said "this payment does not guarantee you access to the forums" could make the argument.

But it's totally unserious: the theoretical payout would be terrible, it'd be incredibly hard to gather goons in the effected class, and anyway can't private clubs expel members without refunding their dues? You might find a lawyer to take the case but they'd be bilking you.

The dumbest part is admitting that they reversed charges on the forums multiple times. What a karen.

Just think that every stupid thing that Tucker Goebbels says in this hellish year of 2020 is a direct result of being bodyslammed together with the somewhat less repulsive Paul Begala by Jon Stewart on CNN sixteen years ago.

Tucker Carlson is hateful fascist sewage, the GOP's own Goebbels, and one of the worst people in America and I wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire. But I'd probably piss on him if he wasn't.

I once pissed a couple of urinals away from him in Union station.

I like to think at least a couple of drops landed on the Swanson failson.

I wouldn't worry about it too much. It would take effect in July 2020, can be easily reversed, and if Donnie wins reelection, we'll likely have much worse problems.

It's also unclear if he can even unilaterally do it, as Congress might have a veto in the whole withdrawal process.

I'm not sure if its RHD or if it's a flip filter on the video, I know you can do a mirror flip on videos.

It's this - she responded to the video further down in the thread. She's in San Antonio and was apparently born on the 4th of July, and enjoys tweeting about making GBS threads. A truer American patriot there is not.

Speaking of making GBS threads, Governor Inslee of WA is currently making GBS threads his pants because it's come out that a racist shitheel who works for the King County Sheriff's Office in the Executive Protection Detail posted "Black Lives Splatter" and a whole bunch of other reprehensible poo poo on Facebook after the murder of Summer Taylor on I-5: https://twitter.com/chrissyshimizoo/status/1280334051233067011

So why's Inslee making GBS threads? Must be because this jackass was in his protection detail, right? Nope, the State Patrol protects the Governor. KCSO protects the Executive of King County, Dow Constantine, who's limp-dick response has gone over like a lead balloon: https://twitter.com/kcexec/status/1280335617130409986

Sounds bad, but all the UN backed international organizations are more corrupt than the Georgia State assembly. WHO denied the spread in the beginning and just yesterday they denied the letter from over two hundred scientists that showed that Covid is airborne and not transmitted just by droplets.

I like when I saw the news article from the WHO saying not to worry about bubonic plague earlier today. So that translates into, worry about it.

I mean, it is all over the place, prairie dogs carry it here in Colorado. Not really a concern beyond that unlikely vector here, but who knows.

I'm honestly more worried about the brain-eating amoebae death in Florida than I am about the bubonic plague. It springs up multiple times each year globally, and probably wouldn't have even merited coverage if the world wasn't :supaburn: about any kind of ailment right now. Hantavirus is a BSL-4 pathogen, and news organizations will run with it if there's nothing better to publicize to try and scare people, but in order to catch it, you have to be in specific areas with specific species of rodents and be unlucky enough to be close enough to their excreta to get infected.

And the reason I'm more worried about the amoebae is because given the progression of the past 5+ years, I can't discount the possibility that Brain Eating Amoeba Supreme won't rise out of the Florida wetlands Akira-style because WHY NOT at this point.

This is literal media fear mongering garbage. New Mexico gets a few cases every year or so - it’s treatable and doesn’t spread.

It’s awful because even if the leadership of some UN agencies are corrupt, the people who are actually on the ground doing the work are some of the bravest, most selfless people you’ll ever meet. if they’re engaged in critical work (meaning actually saving lives like with WFP or UNHCR), they’ve worked in godawful conditions in terrible places because they believe in the work they do, and at the field level- meaning as far as you can get from HQ- the better it usually is.

No one really has any illusions that the upper echelons of agencies or UNGA itself is where world powers go to play gently caress-gently caress games with each other.
