Split Stoves, Ovens, And Parties, Oh My. Split from The Race For 2024

[Loren Pechtel]

Cold? Bad cold? Millions of people do not die of a ‘bad cold.’

Actually colds do kill people, every year.

Most sources only track the flu, but here's an interesting one.

Cold virus killed 100,000 children globally in 2019

That's just the children. Covid, being a rhinovirus, is a cold virus and not a flu virus. This particular rhinovirus impacted the old disproportionately and ignored the young likewise.

It is difficult to get good sources on rhinovirus cases per year. Most articles either mention influenza or Covid, and the statistics taken in 2020 were shown to be inflated.

That's 3% of Covid deaths.

Colds and flu usually only kill those already severely weakened.

 

[Loren Pechtel]

Well over a million died. And many did not but suffer varying degrees of long term covid.some of these long covid cases are crippling, including causing long term mental deterioration. Maenwhile, grinning morons like Texas governor Braindead Abbott got laws passed mandating businesses, government agencies and schools could not mandate mask wearing or covid vaccination. Abbott's death panel! But Abbott owned the libs!

2.4% of the US workforce are disabled from Covid.

Rather than endures a bad cold, ...

But COVID-19 is supposed to be a horrible Chinese bioweapon, right?

If that is what you want to believe, I won't tell you that you can't believe it. I have heard some people espouse that conspiracy theory before, but none in my circles. I think you're watching too much Fox News.

Amazing how you mock the position's veracity in the wild and immediately after provide one of the main sources for said misinformation. Indeed the alt-right, including those that died believing in the lies about Covid-19 spread about by right-wing misinformation (which was much more prominent than the far left-wing anti-science nonsense), skated a bizarre duality of Chinese bioweapon to "it's just a cold" (that one million Americans died from... wait no... that was motorcycle accidents. One Million Americans died from motorcycle accidents during the pandemic).

"Bizarre duality" does summarize much GOP propaganda. They are happy to push two contradictory memes since critical thinking, logic, or even simple memory are not traits found in the GOP electoral base.

lpetrich tells me that Covid is supposed to be a "horrible Chinese bioweapon". I tell him he watches too much Fox News. Now I'm told I have "bizarre duality" as a result. Oh, and of course, since I didn't panic during the pandemic Swammerdami falsely accuses me of being part of the GOP base.

Read it again. No one said you have a bizarre duality.

If nobody understands you, perhaps everyone else isn't the problem.

Anyway, we got on to the subject of Covid because Toni was bragging about how much the economy has improved, and I pointed out that the baseline for her comparison was when the economy was disastrously shut down under Covid.

Rather than discuss the shape the economy is actually in (the whole USA government just got a credit rating downgrade) she decided to defend the Covid hysteria instead. It was the easier subject.

The downgrade is entirely due to the unreliability of the US to pay its creditors, thanks to the idiotic debt ceiling law and MAGA Republicans. That has nothing to do with COVID or a bad economy and everything to do with the MAGA Republican wing of the the GOP. If Congress were to repeal the stupid law, our credit rating would go right back up.

Sometimes I wish all these Confederate cowards would just take up arms again instead of hiding behind dishonest words. At least it would be a fair fight... and a quick one. Nazis are loud but they can't fight for crap and everyone knows it, even them.

It would be nice to see Democrat politicians vote to secede again.

the economy was disastrously shut down under Covid.

The economy was disastrously shut down because your moron tried to deny that COVID was a concern.

Hey Elixir, you forgot to explain the gas ovens.

That also explains his recently-expressed love for gas stoves.

Especially gas ovens.
Yikes.

What a strange comment. Could you explain it in more detail?

Yes, could you explain that in more detail? Inquiring minds want to know.

Sure. Happy to disabuse you of your lack of information that fails to make it to your right wing bubble.

your refusal to answer will be yet more evidence about how I don't answer questions.

Here’s my answer, and evidence that you ask stupid questions out of ignorance.

How Gas Stoves Became the Latest Right-Wing Cause in the Culture Wars

No, that's gas stoves. You meantioned gas ovens when you refused to elaborate. And you still refuse to elaborate.

Perhaps you switching back from ovens to stoves is a right wing conspiracy. Wait, that would make you the right wing conspirator.

Where's that harpy chorus that screeches every time I don't answer a question immediately?

That’s nice,except that today’s Democrats are the heirs of Lincon and the original Republican Party, and today’s Republicans are the heirs of the Old Confederacy and the traitor Jeff Davis. If there is a new civil war it will be the Red States (Confederacy) seceding again, led now by Republicans (MAGAts) instead of Democrats.

If you say so.

Whoever wants to show, that's fine. I just think it's high time to arrest some more fascists before they destroy the country. They always talk big, but they obviously don't really mean a word of it, and I'm tired of giving up substantial rights to appease a bunch of lily-livered lowlifes who don't even have the balls to publically admit to their own bullshit ideology.

 

[Elixir]

Jason doesn’t want that.
Libbertards want Dems and Republicans to fight to the death, so they can run off with the spoils without ever lifting a finger.

Doesn't the forum have a rule against acknowledging that Libertarians aren't aligned with a major party?

I have an electric oven. No need to explain RW morons’ fixations; it’s common knowledge that they are uninformed fascist halfwits.

Jason is fine. Every society needs a "habitual contrarian" or two, keeps people on their toes. What disturbs me is watching fascist rhetoric get mainstream play and mass financing when there's very little evidence that a fascist state is what most Americans actually want. Politics is only a game until it stops being funny anymore. I think there's a very real chance that Trump will be re-elected in 2024, and despite everything that has happened, neither Party seems to be taking him seriously enough. Still. While the most of the American public has checked out altogether.

The news article you posted discussed Republicans and gas stoves. You wrote about gas ovens, and even said "Yikes" for some undefined reason. They may have a fixation with stoves, but it appears you have the fixation with ovens.
