Douche Wolf 89 posted:It's even better because he wasn't really "doxxed". Other neo-liberals he pissed off in twitter DMs were pretty sure they knew his name via real life interactions, and his views matched the pharma/marketing/big business experience on LinkedIn. They then went to Jack Allison (Bernie supporting podcaster they hate) for help to confirm via a yearbook search. Jack Allison explains the story on Blocked Party, which is basically IOSM the podcast https://blockedparty.libsyn.com/episode-95-jack-allison-v-hoarse-wisperer. How is that not a textbook case of doxxing?

Had this dude visit my house regularly a few years ago and one time he showed up with a badly hurt leg. Talked to my friend about it and it was just jokes about “delicious roast bird dinner for you then”. I was really worried about poor Spud so that didn’t help

Also didn't the black death basically kill itself because it ran out of people to infect, or is that a myth?

BioEnchanted posted:Also didn't the black death basically kill itself because it ran out of people to infect, or is that a myth? IIRC, it basically died out through a mixture of better sanitation, better house building, and the brown rat slowly displacing the black rat as the dominant rat species of Europe. But once it hit Europe it kept circulating for the next 400 years. The Great Fire of London is credited with ending the pandemic early in the UK, but that’s probably confusing correalation for causation.

Something about pure binary thinking too. A pandemic either kills 100% of people or 0% of people. Not like even 1% of people in a country dying isn't catastrophic. How do they think wars work, two armies clash and fight until one side is killed down to the last man? I remember thinking like that in like first grade, and something seemed off about the idea even then. Never mind the "yeah it kills lots of people, but not ME, so lmao" aspect of it

I have planning permission with the house to keep 8 chickens (no cockerels is mentioned numerous times and they go into great detail explaining what one is) and what’s stopping me is the idea of what do do with them when the end comes or they stop laying because I just couldn’t you know

As someone who used to play Risk a lot with my dad, no one who plays Risk thinks it's reflective of actual strategy. Also no one plays Risk anymore. Also also fun fact about my Risk-playing dad, they used to have a house rule that if you lost a country you'd have to run down the apartment stairs, run around the building, jump over the grill outside, and run back up by a certain time limit. That's what they had to do to make the dang game entertaining and I'm sure being hopped up on coke in the 80's didn't hurt.

No original chickens left, they get a few new ones to replace the ones that died each year. They don’t want to deal with figuring out who is laying or not, so they don’t bother. Happy hens until old age takes them. They have a warm coop and get more eggs then they can handle even in snowy winter. So, if the thought of slightly reduced flock egg output isn’t offputting, don’t worry about culling for efficiency.

TinTower posted:IIRC, it basically died out through a mixture of better sanitation, better house building, and the brown rat slowly displacing the black rat as the dominant rat species of Europe. Better hygienic standards leading to fewer rats is what finally pushed yersinia pestis, the plague causing bacterium, out of society. It’s still living in the wild though. But the disease’s high infection rate and staggering mortality is what caused it to come and go in those enormous waves of death. It crippled normal human society in such a way that it impeded its own spread, nearly annihilating itself. Compare this to covid with its moderate infection rate and relatively low mortality; without our intervention it could keep going back and forth through the world population indefinitely without interruption
