Well the cruise isnt focused on the carnivores, its a normal cruise that someone who happens to be carnivore wants to attend, so it will have a normal amount of people for a cruise, and at this current time, obviously people who dont care about distancing and sign up for a cruise, bad idea, Covid will break out and depending where the ship is, it might be refused permission to dock

That shit is frustrating, I know. My mom, who has always been level-headed and sane, was surprised yesterday when I mentioned in passing that my wife and I get our flu vaccine every year. She said she never gets the flu vaccine, because, and I quote: "I've heard bad stuff about the ingredients."

my folks' pastor just survived by the skin of his teeth because of regeneron. his wife is still in the hospital on a vent and it's looking like she may not be so lucky- she's been there for almost a month now iirc. one of the church elders died in september after being on and off of a vent for 3 months and having several inevitably fatal complications of COVID.
to be fair, they make EVERYONE wear masks and distance at the church, but folks are still catching it- probably elsewhere is my guess.
my dad is stepping down from the eldership because they voted that neither elders NOR THEIR WIVES cannot make so-called "political" statements on social media without unanimous agreement from the rest of the eldership. they were just pissed that my parents are biden supporters. my folks are likely to go to a different church altogether soon. there is a huge schism forming in churches and it seems to be mostly along the lines of education. the eldership at my parents' church consists of 8 people- 3 of them have advanced degrees, my dad included, and the others do not. The head elder has only a high school diploma, is a trumper, and a bully. so the opinion of the 5 ignorant people overrode the opinion of the 3 educated people.
the church is dying
my brother in law is a pastor and he is now getting into real estate. he won't admit it, but it's because he realizes there is no financial future for him in what he's been doing anymore given the current trends.

It's almost as if there shouldn't be a bunch of people together in an enclosed space for hours at a time. People act like their cloth face mask is an N110 gas mask.

I haven't been there to see what kind of masks people are using but it makes a huge difference. IME you can absolutely be in an enclosed space with COVID positive people for hours at a time and never contract COVID. The difference is almost certainly, like you mentioned, the type and use of PPE. I have a feeling that outside of the church setting, a lot of the less educated folk are still having large family gatherings, going out to eat, etc. without wearing any masks at all, and that that is where most of the transmission is happening, rather than inside the church building itself. In their case, anyway. I've seen pictures of other church gatherings that are clearly a recipe for mass spreader events- no distancing, no masks, etc.

That's true, and don't forget the people who wear it under their nose...I just don't know what to say about them. Letter of the law folks, I guess.

That is completely fucked. I mean, a rule about posting political stuff on the church's fb page would be pretty sensible, but on all of social media? lolwtf
After the election, some dumbfuck posted "anybody that voted for Biden, don't even bother showing up next Sunday." on the church's fb page. Kinda pissed me off until I found out it was just some random fucker that shows up maybe 3-4 times a year. Then I lol'd.

psi said: The supposed races encompass a lot of variation, plus they kind of mesh into each other. Generalizing from a racial categorization is a poor substitute for knowing an individual person's specific genetic makeup. For drawing conclusions about whole populations and allocating resources etc, racial categorizations can have their place. But knowing that X genetic trait is more prevalent in a certain population does not mean that any individual person from that population must carry that genetic trait.
No, but, for example, as a doctor, you can intuit that the more sub-saharan-african a person's heritage appears to be, the more likely they will have a highly sodium-conserving aldosertone-angiotension system. This isn't fullproof, but medical decisions have to be made based on some amount of intuition, and this particular intuition has been generated over the course of decades. It isn't exactly rocket science determining whether or not a person has a significant amount of sub-saharan ancestry, and it's typically in the patients' best interests that the doctors act on that intuition because the data shows that certain diuretics and antihypertensives are likely to be more effective. frustrating as it may be to certain people on the extreme ends of liberal progressivism, recognizing biological differences is key to the equitable practice of medicine
I get that sometimes you have to work with partial information and make guesses based on probabilities. And in some situations there will be little downside to false positive guesses. But it's a stopgap solution that would be rendered obsolete by a quick enough genetic scan.
My core point still stands, racial stereotyping is always going to be an inferior substitute for knowing the person's actual genes. That's the fullest way to appreciate biological differences between individuals, not outdated concepts of race.
Good post!
PS Morrow, you're mormon? I agree that the "church" (all of them hopefully) is dying and it's ways, thank god, lol! The "evangelical" people are freaking the fuck out over their loss of control over others and all this trump business exposed a shitload of them. Eventually (hopefully) critical thinking and reason will overcome fear and fairy tales.

No, I am not mormon. I am not personally religious at all. I was raised in a conservative denomination of protestant christianity though, and my parents still partake, although they've changed over the years. For all intents and purposes they are now normal, rational human beings who just happen to go to church and pay lip service to religious traditions. The events of the last few years have made them increasingly aware that many of the other people in the church never changed.

the catholic church is being dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century. the protestants are right behind them, they just don't have as much public notoriety as the catholic church. they're gaining it, though, as they continue to commit more and more acts of terrorism

Look up the reason(s) why that new pope came into that position and why the old one left/is hiding. It's fucked up! FUCK his god damn stance! Fuck every fucking thing about the cover up of abuse and the condoning of it by ANYONE in the church in ANY position or attends it!

Good news that one month after peaking at 300k cases per day we’re now at 80k

deaths also seem to be dropping down now too on average. slowly but surely we're beating the curve down, looks like the average is down to around 2,200 deaths a day now. was around 3,300 a month ago at it's peak.
