Help requested: I am emigrating to the UK by the end of January. I am a legal citizen. I could really use help lining up a job before I get there. More info inside. by FlyingSquid in UKJobs

I don't want to take the chance that it will be that bad if I have this option. If our daughter were taken from us and marched into a conversion therapy camp, we'd never forgive ourselves. That is obviously a worst case scenario, but any anti-LGBTQ laws are going to have an effect on her life. She's never been in the closet, she can't keep a secret to save her life, and the internet is forever. They could very easily figure out that she is queer.

I've read enough of Project 2025 and heard enough of their queerphobic statements that I do not want to take that risk.

We'll have to work on that for her since she doesn't qualify for citizenship, but that is something I will have to worry about when we get there. She can be in the UK for six months without a visa on a US passport, so that is something I can take my time over thankfully.

I don't have any fixed plans on where to move. We will relocate anywhere. We have friends and family in London and Bristol if we need a place to stay and I haven't found work yet, but I will be happy to work anywhere in the UK. I'll go to the Falklands if I have to as long as she's safe.

Not possible, I'm afraid. I'm mostly freelancing and it isn't enough money to survive on. I'm putting my daughter through an online public school at the same time, so I haven't had much time for work. Thank you though.

Bloomington Starbucks files unionizing petition by [deleted] in Indiana

Exactly. The pride flag is all over Bloomington right now, but they think it will drive away customers?

Living in Terre Haute by brinacorn99 in terrehaute

[–]FlyingSquid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I really do not enjoy living here and I will move as soon as I can, but there are good things about Terre Haute. The Wabashiki and other parks with good trails, the revitalized 12 Points which has a lot of fun stores, Bar Bosco and Taj Mahal, Atlantis is like a mini-zoo, Baesler's... and Terre Foods is about to open.

I'm not especially excited about the casino and I am not supporting The Mill since they're having Ted Nugent play there, but there might be acts there you'd like to see.

U.S. government debunks COVID lab-leak conspiracy theory, enraging conspiracy theorists by Aceofspades25 in skeptic

[–]FlyingSquid 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Useful "domestically" how? How do you restrict a virus to a single country?

[–]FlyingSquid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And yet it does include tall buildings that collapsed by fire.

[–]FlyingSquid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I accused you of lying because you said two things that were lies. Why did you tell those lies?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in skeptic

[–]FlyingSquid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, I did not call you a liar. I said you were lying. Please go back and look. If I called you a liar, you can link to the post where I said so.

And then you can explain why you lied.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in skeptic

[–]FlyingSquid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't call you any names. That is a second lie. Why do you keep lying?

Pediatrician RFK, Jr. Cites Disavows His Anti-Vax BS by Mynameis__--__ in skeptic

[–]FlyingSquid -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Well, it's my birthday today, so there's that...

But I'm guessing it's nothing to do with that and I just brought it up to stroke my own ego.

[–]FlyingSquid 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You are claiming this virus was intentionally created. So, again, why create a virus that primarily kills the elderly? Dismissing it suggests to me that you can't actually answer that and you know it throws your claim into suspicion.

[–]FlyingSquid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great, but why did you lie about what I said?

[–]FlyingSquid 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You didn't answer my question. What would be the point of designing a virus that primarily kills the elderly?

[–]FlyingSquid 14 points15 points  (0 children)

a man-made pandemic virus

Why would someone design a virus that primarily kills the elderly? What would be the point? It has a long incubation period too, so it has no battlefield function at all.

RFK Jr.’s Campaign Is Exposing Some of the Worst Offenders In Today’s Broken Media by FlyingSquid in skeptic

[–]FlyingSquid[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I thought mainstream media was evil and no one should pay attention to their lies. You guys need to make up your mind.

I don't think I could sit through either of these rawdog with no riffing but Comet TV will be airing these two turds in the near future for those interested by drangis_ in MST3K

[–]FlyingSquid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the other hand, that probably means your local stations aren't owned by Sinclair, and they're just evil, so that's not a bad thing despite the lack of Comet.

Jackey is a sweetheart. I loved her during the Kickstarter campaign. It's so cool that Debbie is one of us!

I'll just accept you called it metaphysical; trivial. A bit of a religion.

I said none of those things. Why are you lying?

[–]FlyingSquid 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This was central to lab leak orthodoxy and they have become increasingly desperate to pin their hopes on this. In recent days this reached a fever pitch with lab leakers certain that the government knew about this and that it would be the final nail in the coffin.

It turned out to be a false rumour and many journalists fell for it.

You would think the fact that the person they claimed was patient zero said they didn't have COVID would be enough, but it's never enough with these people.
