I'll say there is no such thing as having too much of the vaccine, but isn't that more than we need when you factor in how kids are not approved and a large portion of the population would never take it? When would clinical trials be ready to approve the vaccine for children? 2020 census puts us at 335M people on the high estimate. 295M is 10 and up, and 316M is school age of 5 and up. edit: I guess estimates are saying that 12 and up could be approve by spring. I guess that makes sense with 300M shots by then Astro7x fucked around with this message at 23:59 on Feb 11, 2021 |

Biden has a 98% approval rating among Democrats. The highest intra-party support ever recorded by Gallup. It turns out that doing left-wing things makes left-wing Democrats like you and seems to have no negative impact on conservative or moderate Democrats' opinion of you.  https://news.gallup.com/poll/329348/biden-begins-term-job-approval.aspx

Edit - I know it’s Ted Cruz but the whole thing is just so wilfully stupid. Like even if you call Leia a victim princess because she’s the damsel in the first film, she’s the damsel because she was caught running stolen Death Star plans, and as soon as they break her out she’s like “welp I’m out of prison...so there’s this thermal exhaust port, let’s get some fighters and blow it up”. In Empire she’s seeing the absolute last of the rearguard onto their transports and fleeing just ahead of Darth Vader’s personal arrival in the rebel hangar. And in ROTJ she is one of three senior officers in charge of a stealth landing behind enemy lines. Fuuuuuuuuuuuck you Ted Cruz. Edit edit — she loving murders scout troopers on speeder bikes in thick forest. gently caress YOU TED CRUZ Edit edit edit - probably one of her girliest moments in the whole series is when she gets shot and Han shelters her...which is followed quickly by her blasting two storm troopers. If Sylvester McCoy got fired for saying chug poo poo Ted Cruz would be like “his portrayal of Radagast finally brought a wizard of true power to the Lord of the Rings”.

Dapper_Swindler posted:yeah pretty much. these guys gently caress themselves because they don't just apologize and than try to change. they don't they just double down. Yeah and for a good chunk of games and poo poo it's censorship this censorship that even when people are just making poo poo up and there's literally nothing being censored. This to me remains the QAnon of the gaming sphere in that it's based out of complete nonsense that just plain isn't reality based. It seems to stem from some policy change Playstation made several years ago that right wing outlets seized on and deliberately twisted to be some vast censorship conspiracy when mainly it seems it was more about tightening up guidelines for what gets you the MA and X ratings in games versus T and by proxy what they may not carry on the Playstation Store because it got upgraded from MA to X. As far as I've ever been able to tell all this affected were a small handful of niche anime games that already had an incredibly limited audience, but somehow this one event seems to have turned a substantial chunk of gamers into whiny single issue gamer babies who only seem to care about weird fanservice sexual stuff anymore and insisting anything along those lines is going to be censored (it's probably not if it's not depicting a minor in some gross pedophilic way and even then there's some surprisingly broad latitude given in that regard) that seem completely out of touch with the reality of current gaming trends and barely seem to care about actual games as entertainment anymore so much as an arena to talk about their weird racist/sexist views. They also insist that Playstation has this magic power to affect all versions and all online distribution outlets and make them kowtow to some sort of liberal censorship hegemony even though you know.......Steam. I still cite the example of FFVII remake and this insistence by more "concerned gamers" than I care to count that the character Tifa Lockhart who is a martial artist and kind of noted for having a very large bust would have her bust sized reduced to coincide with some "woke Playstation conspiracy" they believe in and then eventually the trailer showed the character and she still had a large bust and tons of gamer's just kind of double thought that away and didn't have much to say about the portrayal of her in game skill set and insisted that there was some conspiracy against whatever the gently caress and that Playstation had made the developer Square Enix "ruin the character". If you ask me they vastly improved on her portrayal along with a ton of other characters, but I digress. Ironically they even published a guidebook for the game sometime last year in Japanese which stated the character had like American 32" DDD bust size anyway (they do that poo poo over there, don't ask) which is pretty loving ridiculous for a martial artist and well above average period, but facts like this still don't seem to matter in the face of ragey conspiracy horny Chud poo poo who once they decide something is happening or there's a conspiracy against them seemingly nothing can convince them otherwise, much like with Qultists. There's so much of this poo poo now it's loving destroying (destroyed?) my ability to have normal conversations with other gamer's outside of places like SA's games board because so many of them believe so intensely in this great Playstation censorship conspiracy and act like whiny babies instead of just enjoying a video game or not on it's actual merits as a game. Like conversations that would have been easy to have a decade ago and not lead down some weird rabbit whole of conspiracy poo poo. Isn't conservatism just the greatest?

He was on a motorcycle and didn't have open beers on him. I can kind of see pulling him over initially, but when he blew next to nothing and had been driving for 100 feet, it seems weird to arrest him and keep it a secret. It wasn't a Trump conspiracy to get Springsteen or anything, but some federal police were being very aggressive in pressing those charges.

FlamingLiberal posted:Glad to see Biden undoing more of Trump's BS assault on poor people What were the other Trump "signature health policies"? Because the only major changes he made to healthcare law were the Medicaid work requirement, giving waivers to states to privatize Medicaid expansion, and implementing a VA reform that passed in 2014. Calling those last two "signature healthcare policies" seems very generous.

I really hope those buffalo cops end up waking up to a tv screen with a creepy doll on it turning towards them and saying "Hello officers. You don't seem to value life that much so it's time to play a game..." and then the Saw music kicks in. Actually come to think of it, just start Saw movies over and have it only feature conservative "hero's". I'm not advocating for violence Mods. Just a joke/movie pitch I'm off to write.

The Artificial Kid posted:Ah yes those renowned girly-girls, Leia Organa and Padmé Amidala (blaster pistol / galactic senate pod included). I guess he forgot about the scene where Leia chokes a slug monster to death with it's own chain to escape or where the Separatists set up a rigged arena fight with a feral beast that Padme still wins with some quick thinking and athleticism that if I recall involves a call back in again using the chain that was supposed to be binding her against it to swing around and crush it's wind pipe with a well placed kick. Neither of these characters are what I'd call great fighters and Luke and Anakin still do most of the heavy lifting in these sequences in filling that type of role, but they get by pretty goddamn well all things considered and take care of themselves. There's also those expanded universe characters like Mara Jade and Ahsoka Tano, and literal possible most powerful Jedi ever (that isn't Yoda at his peak) Rey that actually are white I'd call exceptional combatants, but again I'm just basing these things off of things I've observed and recall and not some sliding scale of conservative reality bending culture war poo poo to fit a prescribed narrative. e: Speaking of Natalie Portman I can't wait for conservative culture war advocates like Ted Cruz and Donald Trump Jr. to be very concerned when *Thor Comic Book poo poo* she takes over as Thor insisting it's "woke regendering of a character" (this is canon in some comic book continuities anyway where depending on the story arc Jane Foster becomes either Thor or Valkyrie) and Chris Hemsworth almost certainly coming in to shut them down hard. It feels almost preordained. It's pretty well known at this point too how little love there is lost between most of the Avengers cast (particularly Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson and Mark Ruffalo) and Republicans.
