We have a family friend. She has ulcerative colitis. It has been under control for 15 years. She was originally told not get the vaccine, but then the general word went out that it is safe for everyone. She went with Pfizer. Three days after her second dose, a flare started that, it seemed, could not be controlled. She was in the hospital for 23 days, and came within an inch of losing her colon. The doctors agreed that the only thing different was the vaccine.

The payback is economies slowly returning and government issued benefits that will have to be repaid. (taxes)
As if the economy is some external nebulous thing sitting "over there". The economy is us. Businesses, mostly small, have been decimated, each one representing the life work and investment of someone. The government was (and still is) picking winners and losers.
The money printing represents a tax - the value of the money has been ciphened away, and a small percentage of that value is given back in "benefits". And to repay it? Give me a break - that has and never will occur.The virus may be over but there is going to be lingering consequences.
It's not. It will evolve. It already has. At some point we need to have the adult conversation about risk.You really cant fault the governments for doing what they did, it was in good intentions.
I can, and I do. The risk was unknown for about a 4 week period. Anything after that was fear porn and a power grab. And probably used as an opportunity to advance political power as a means to promote economic philosophy.At least we can say we will be more prepared for the next pandemic virus that comes around and I hope it doesn't in are lifetime.
Too late.

Risk is a multi-faceted calculation. It weighs the risk of death with the risk of losing a livelihood, with the risk of damage to the mental health of one's children, with the loss of a decade in economic growth (The money we're printing now is a massive tax on 95% of the population, and the wealth drained will take a decade to recover, more if government continues to grow). Also, the risk of postponed treatment of other diseases.
If you evaluate all of this against a 98% of surviving COVID, you can start to see the problem with the current generation - fearful, sheltered, unrealistic.
It is easy to see why someone might exclaim, "It isn't real!" What is meant is "The reaction, what they are telling us, the fear point, is not real. It is not justified."

Did You Think The Capitol Riot Was Worse Than What Happened On 9/11?
by minimus inin my lifetime 9/11 was the worst thing that i can recall.
the effect it had was incredibly horrible!
almost everyone seemed to know someone that was either directly or indirectly affected by this diabolical act.

The Capitol riot isn’t even on the same page as 9/11. Few attacks besides acts of war can compare with 9/11.
Exactly.
To be perfectly clear, non-partisan, and honest - even the BLM riots during "the summer of love" weren't on the level of 9/11. And I think the BLM riots were exponentially worse than the January 6th riot. The capitol riot and 9/11 aren't even in the same book.
It is absolutely rediculous. -

A comparison to 9/11 is insulting. It's, frankly, mentally retarded. A discussion along those lines, therfore, fits quite well on mainstream media outlets.

The reason I ask is because i was watching the news about Sydney, Australia, which is in the middle of a nasty surge of the delta strain, and a guy they interviewed on the street was adamant the pandemic wasn't real.
Statements like "it's not real" or "it's the flu" are often imprecise ways of conveying a thought about risk. The man you saw, if you assume he was quoted in the proper context, was likely trying to say that the seriousness of the virus has been overblown, that the risk is low, and therfore lockdowns are an overreaction.
Similarly when someone says "it's the flu", they most likely don't mean the virus is the same as influenza. Rather, that the risk is about the same as the flu, and we never locked down for the flu, so why are we doing that now?
It's a statement about risk. The current generation has a problem with evaluating risk, handling fear, and also has been trained to look to government for answers. -

Leaked David Spane Apostate Rant? (Upcoming Lloyd Evans Video)
by Jofi_Wofo inlloyd has a reminder set for a "leaked" video that he will be reviewing tomorrow, but it lacks details in the description.
does anyone know what video he is referring to, or is this an upcoming loyd evans exclusive?.
i find leaks exciting, especially if it's something that was never meant to be public and puts some serious egg on the faces of the blundering body..

It'll do more damage to Lloyd if it turns out to be a Rachael-Maddow-level nothing burger.

What Did You Think Of The Songs Sung At The Kingdom Hall?
by minimus inwhen i was younger we had song books and i recall that some of the songs were pretty catchy.
then they revised it took some of those songs out, and added more.
i have to admit some songs were pretty good.

It was always the best when the sound guy mixed up the track. The congregation would try oh so hard to sing the lyrics to the incorrect tune... confused as to why it wouldn't work... And then about 2 min in, someone would realize it, the song would stop and we would get a new track, the correct one, and everyone would try again.

The bus stop analogy
by slimboyfat insuppose we were naïve observers, given the following data, and asked to draw a conclusion.
we see people gather at a busy bus stop several times a day.
at first one person, then another, and another, until they form a group.

Watched the video. Lots of word salad there. At first I thought he was just making an argument for consciousness being an emergent property. But then, it quickly veered into everything being thought/mind. After that, the tems used are just so general and undefined, I'm sure each viewer is taking a completely different meaning from his speech.
