Just realized who I haven't noticed in a while on fedi... where's @theblessing?
Finally realized why I don't like Destiny (the Youtuber/Twitch streamer).
Among all the leftist "political commentators" from these circles, Destiny might actually be one of the best (and most definitely the best I know of). He knows how to argue, makes good arguments, and as far as I can tell he's actually sincere.
What I don't like though, is how he approaches any and every discussion. He doesn't want to talk to people to find the truth, learn etc. He's interested from the start only in winning. He's constantly confrontational, no matter how you approach him. It always feels like he's attacking. If only he'd calm down a bit, he'd be much more successful in drawing people to his side.
If humanity ever ends up leaving the solar system, I hope one of the missions will involve retrieving the Voyager probes and returning them to Earth.
Bonus: cute animation.
So Apophis is still not gonna kill us all... god damn you 2020! Why can't you bring us some good news!
Post #2. Warning: political screech
Antifa and Black Lives Matter are communist terrorists. I don't care for your idiotic apologetics, I don't care for what the bullshit CNN is telling you, and I don't care that you're stupid enough to believe their propaganda. Open your fucking eyes!
I'm done with anyone trying to say "but CNN told me there's no organized antifa, so I'll blindly believe them". I'm done with any idiot that refuses to even watch the proof because "muh CNN told me Veritas are right wing, so I don't believe them, even if I didn't watch a second of their reporting".
And if you feel offended that I called you an idiot, GOOD! You are one.
What has happened with "Black Lives Matter" in US in the last month is beyond reprehensible. What they are doing is beyond any defense. And yet, I am convinced there will be someone just insane enough to try to defend them, and "muh peaceful protests". Which is why, I've decided that I've had enough.
Anyone trying to defend the leftist insanity is not my friend. I don't need you in my life to get me annoyed or angry because of your stupidity and willful ignorance. I don't want to come back here or on any social media, because I just know sooner or later I'll find one of you idiots. So for now, I'm done.
My final 2 cents: antifa and BLM are communist terrorists that will destroy western culture if you let them; leftist ideologues are mentally ill (or at the very least borderline) (note I said "leftists ideologues" and not "leftists"); everything surrounding intersectional feminism, social justice etc. is a de facto religion (and a dangerous one at that); cancel culture is a communist tactic that used to be called "struggle session"; America doesn't have enough helicopters; Yuri Bezmenov was 100% right, and you need to watch his videos right the fuck now, he even predicted the way leftists and the media are trying to raise criminals to sainthood, while villifying those that risk their lives to protect the well-being of society; women are women, transwomen are transwomen, and transwomen aren't women, but I will treat transwomen as women only because I feel this is the polite thing to do, but if at any point you start to demand I treat you a certain way, I will not hesitate to leave my manners at the doorstep and call you a man instead.
TL;DR fuck you, you lazy ass. Go read the entire thing!
I've managed to stay away from social media for over a month now. I honestly don't miss it at all, but I felt I should make a post in case anyone was concerned about my leave. In fact, I plan to make 2 posts today, but first things first...
So for anyone wondering, I am in fact fine. I've managed to avoid the coronavirus so far, even though the situation in my country is not very good. I am perfectly healthy for now, but if I happen to get it, I plan to change my avatar to one with a mask on top (don't know if I'll want/get to post about it, but I think just changing my pfp will probably be faster). I've GIMPed the image months ago, and I'm quite amazed I haven't needed it yet.
In other news, for slightly over a month now, I've took up cycling. I've actually just learned to ride a bike for the first time in my life. That was a fun experience... although I still have a few bruises. But hey, I finally found a sport/physical activity I like doing, and I'm slowly trying to get fit. That's a good thing, right?!
As for my return to fedi... honestly, I don't think I want to. Between my new hobby, and every other stuff in my life, I honestly have enough to keep busy, and I haven't felt the need to log in on here anymore, either to be entertained or to share my thoughts. And there's one other reason why I don't want to use social media anymore, but I'm keeping that for the second post, cause it's gonna go way off topic.
I've removed any fedi app from my phone, and I keep my browser closed more often than not these days (not to mention well away from any of my social media accounts). So if all goes according to plan, I won't see or respond to any comment made after my post anytime soon, if at all.
TL;DR I don't have the corona, I'm cycling in my free time now, I don't plan on coming back on fedi.
Hope all of you are doing well and are staying healthy!
Yup, confirmed. Youtube banned Molyneux. Easiest way to verify is by going to his website, and trying to view the Youtube videos he has linked there.
Here's something for the Covid19 conspiracy theorists.
Do you know how AIDS deaths are recorded? Trick question, they're technically not. People who die with AIDS will usually die from severe infections like pneumonia, and are recorded as dying from pneumonia with an underlying AIDS condition.
So why is it like this? Because AIDS is the underlying condition that while it weakened you, it won't or can't kill you anytime soon by itself. Pneumonia came around though, and it finished you off. The killing blow is the one that counts.
But because HIV is such an unique virus, what you will have is a statistic of how many people with AIDS have died.
Now, let's think back to how Corona-chan deaths are recorded. Oh right, something like heart disease or old age weakens you, and Corona comes around to finish you off. Because the underlying condition is something you probably lived for a while, and could have probably lived for a good while longer, it's Corona-chan's finishing blow we give the credit for the kill to.
Fuck it, I'm calling it. Marketwatch probably qualifies as fake news.
In a story about how there are actually 20 million covid infected in USA, they claim the CDC came up with the number, but there's no link to a CDC statement, there's no source to anything anywhere!
Why the fuck are people trusting this site for science news!
Source of story that got me annoyed:
https://www.marketwatch.com/story/cdc-20-million-americans-thought-to-have-contracted-covid-19-2020-06-25
You know what keeps bugging me about the attempts at downplaying Corona-chan? Everyone focuses solely on the death rate. They all pull supposed infection rates out of their ass, inflating infected cases by up to 10x times based on no exact evidence, all so they can claim death rates are somehow no higher than a flu.
Let me remind you dipshits of something: the guessing work of people who might have had corona and never tested, is not something you do for the flu. You don't go every year to say "we only had X reported cases of flu, but we think the number has to be Y, even if we didn't do any medical consult to the rest of them". Sure, you can extrapolate SOME unreported cases, but not fucking 10x times worth.
But that's not even the main point I wanted to make. What annoys me is that we know Corona is not something you just get out of your system and are suddenly completely recovered. We know this thing can leave your body extremely weakened, to the point where any number of later acquired conditions could spell your doom. Death is not the only negative consequence of Corona. This needs to talked about more.
Do you have any idea how many cases of recorded deaths from HIV there are? Probably none! And you know why? Because it's not the AIDS that actually kills you. Is the other infections you get while your immune system is wrecked. No direct deaths from HIV, and yet we still consider it one of the most dangerous viruses out there.
Corona-chan is not dangerous because it kills off sick old people. Corona-chan is dangerous because it has the potential to leave young and healthy individuals with a crippled body. The usual flu doesn't exactly come with the risk of long term or maybe even permanent lung damage. Corona does.
