and yet you've now responded twice about a joke that "failed." clearly the humor hits a nerve somewhere . . . just sayin'
Did you just mistake Sacramento for the historically self-indulgent, hedonistic, and morally bankrupt city of Babylon? A Freudian slip that hits the bullseye! GOOD DAY
Really only means today and Tuesday since Monday is a holiday, but Conroe ISD also reported a big upswing in cases among teachers and other staff.
Failed humor (based on premise rather than audience reception) usually hits a nerve. That is especially true when it presumes ignorance on the audience's part like this one did. Someone responded, so I mentioned again. Now you responded so I mentioned it a third time. It is a cruel cycle which will never end.
Thanks, Supreme Court. Now we’re free in Florida to work alongside unvaccinated dolts Read more at: https://www.miamiherald.com/news/lo...-santiago/article257288957.html#storylink=cpy
They should have LED WITH THIS...every man would have been vaccinated already! Man claims his penis shrank 1.5 inches, ‘COVID d – – k is real’ say docs Talk about getting the short end of the stick. As if contracting COVID wasn’t bad enough, a dismayed man now claims that he’s lost a whopping 1.5 inches from the length of his penis as a lingering result of the vile virus. “My penis has shrunk,” lamented the griping guy in a letter to the “How To Do It” podcast this week. “I’m a heterosexual man in my 30s,” he said, anonymously — only referring to himself as “coming up short.” “In July of last year, I contracted COVID and was very sick. When I got out of the hospital, I had some erectile dysfunction issues,” he added. The purportedly once-well-endowed man went on to explain that prior to his diagnosis, he boasted an “above average”-sized tool. But, much to his chagrin, his formerly impressive privates have since lost their luster. “[The erectile dysfunction] gradually got better with some medical attention, but I seemed to be left with a lasting problem,” he confessed. “Before I got sick [my penis] was above average. Not huge, but definitely bigger than normal. Now I’ve lost about an inch and a half and become decidedly less than average.” He claimed that a medical adviser had attributed his pecker problems to vascular damage caused by COVID, and was warned that the impairment was likely permanent. “It shouldn’t really matter,” the man wrote. “But it has had a profound impact on my self-confidence and my abilities in bed. I know you can’t give me back my missing length and girth, but I was wondering if you could give me any advice on what to do now.” In response to the dude’s desperate plea for penis help, Dr. Charles Welliver — a urologist and Director of Men’s Health at Albany Medical College, NY — confirmed the rare, but real havoc COVID can wreak on a man’s unmentionables. “You can connect these dots,” the physician told Slate of the virus’ correlation to ding-a-ling disorders. “COVID [causes] a mass of respiratory symptoms that leads to a lot of the deaths,” he said. “But there’s also pretty significant vascular issues that occur with guys.” The doctor went on to cite studies that have shown cases of men who’ve suffered from priapism — the persistent erection prompted sans sexual arousal — and erectile dysfunction (ED) after contracting COVID. “When guys get ED, they get a lack of erections for a while, and when that happens they actually do get some shrinkage,” he added. And his commentary on miniaturized members was backed by Dr. Ashley Winter, a urologist in Oregon, who insisted: “COVID d – – k is a real thing.” “The main reason that we think this occurs is something what we call endothelial dysfunction,” she explained. “That’s basically the cells that line your blood vessels … and they’re really important for the function of many different organs.” The health care pro went on to note that when COVID infects those vital cells, it can take a toll on a number of organs. “And because the erection is a blood flow-event … When those blood vessels are affected, you can get the erectile dysfunction,” she said. However, despite the prognosis “coming up short” received from his doom-and-gloom doctor, both urologists agreed that rehabilitative practices like doing “penis push-ups” or purchasing a “penis vacuum,” could restore length over time. “A typical regimen would be starting something like Viagra or Cialis to improve blood flow,” advised Winter. “Another thing would be to buy a penis vacuum device and do penis exercise with it or penis push-ups.” She also suggested stretching the penis with a traction device named RestoreX, which she says has reportedly elongated shortened wee-wees by 1 to 2 centimeters with consistent use. “These are easy things you can do at home to either prevent shortening or actually get back length that you’ve lost,” she assured. So, to make a long story short, just hang in there guys. There’s hope. https://nypost.com/2022/01/13/man-claims-his-penis-shrunk-after-contracting-covid/
Why did scientists suppress the lab-leak theory? In private, they said it was plausible. In public, they called it a conspiracy theory. https://www.spiked-online.com/2022/01/12/why-did-scientists-suppress-the-lab-leak-theory/
It mentions private email correspondences where the scientists raised suspicions about a lab origin. Later, it mentions that one of the scientists wrote a book where he acknowledges those suspicions. The “article” it links to that it says argues that any claims that the origins are not natural is actually a drafted joint statement from 20 something people expressing solidarity with Chinese scientists who are doing important work to understand the nature of the virus. The statement doesn’t say that any speculation that the virus had an unnatural origin is a crackpot conspiracy theory. Here is the relevant part of the statement: The rapid, open, and transparent sharing of data on this outbreak is now being threatened by rumours and misinformation around its origins. We stand together to strongly condemn conspiracy theories suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin. Scientists from multiple countries have published and analysed genomes of the causative agent, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2),and they overwhelmingly conclude that this coronavirus originated in wildlife, as have so many other emerging pathogens. This is further supported by a letter from the presidents of the US National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine and by the scientific communities they represent. Conspiracy theories do nothing but create fear, rumours, and prejudice that jeopardise our global collaboration in the fight against this virus This statement is criticizing the promotion of conspiracy theories, without evidence, that speculate on unnatural origins. It’s not saying that anyone who’s making an evidence-based argument for an unnatural origin is peddling a conspiracy theory.
The problem with this sort of thing has ALWAYS been the blatant double standards, as there is an incredibly unlikely chain of events that would have had to take place for this virus to have been a natural origin, and no evidence of those events having occurred, and this is a field that can track back point of origin rather well these days (see swine flu). If you start at the null hypothesis, and consider known variables, you're ending in the 98-99% range for lab origin.

Damn, elections have consequences. For you scared rabbits in this forum, February is almost here, say good bye to this virus. Will you guys find something else to politicize over? You betcha!
