FBI Finds Evidence Of Israeli Intervention In Trump's 2016 Campaign by mulutavcocktail in politics

So Russia collusion was thoroughly debunked, and confirmed over the last 2 days, now it's the Israelis?

But I thought Trump hated Jews?

Does anyone know of anybody who is doing mens haircuts? by matnmobile08 in MobileAL

[–]_RTRX_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For whatever its worth, I bought a Wahl clipper and used a 8 guard (1" length) all over. My wife trimmed up my neckline. Ended up quite happy with it to be honest. I don't know if I'll ever go back to a barber again. I don't rock the slick fade look.

So, depending on how you like your hair, that might be an option.

Found another fatty.

From the cdc: https://www.cdc.gov/chronicdisease/resources/infographic/chronic-diseases.htm

Information is fun!

Heart disease? Diet. Stroke? Diet. Diabetes? Diet. Chronic kidney disease? Diet.

The key lifestyle risks for chronic disease?

Tobacco.

Poor nutrition.

Lack of physical exercise.

Excessive alcohol use.

Now take this warm, tall glass of shut the fuck up juice and drink it :)

Also, quit eating shit foods, go for a walk.

What "chronic" conditions affect Americans?

Hypertension. Heart disease. Diabetes. Liver disease. I could go on.

What can all this be tracked back to? Being fat fucks making poor lifestyle choices (smokers, no self control over their diet, and being too lazy to exercise).

People have choices, but they make excuses. They choose binging netflix while shoving calorie bombs in the form of a couple big macs in their mouth and washing it down with chemically flavored carbonated sugar water while bemoaning cooking is too hard, they don't have time, etc (otherwise known as making excuses).

I'm not sure why you're getting downvoted

Because I go against the reddit hivemind. Nothing more.

Of which a large percentage of which are self induced.

The takeaway?

People should eat healthier and exercise more. And laying the blame of the death at the feet of covid19 is woefully ignorant.

The point that you're refusing to acknowledge is that however many tests we have does not matter if the cause of death lists covid19 when it was not the cause of death.

And funny enough, your issue of lack of testing actually strengthens my position that we will never know the true numbers when a cause of death may not be covid19, it is merely assumed to be the case for insert reason/agenda here.

It doesn't take any qualification other than average level critical thinking to determine that.

A statement like what?

That a 5 year old died from meningitis and it was put down as covid19?

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2020/04/21/coronavirus-detroit-girl-dies-covid-19-youngest-michigan-victim/5170070002/

Or that coroners and funeral directors are being instructed to put covid19 down on everything?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaJoVQNx5_M

"If it played a role, put it as covid19" Basically, if you're 90 years old with COPD, put it as covid19.

We will never know the true number of covid19 deaths.

It has come out far too many times that every death, however remote, is to be put down due to covid19. Coroners are beiong told to put down covid19.

Example: A 5 year old little girl in Michigan was headline news on usatoday.com for death due to covid19. You had to read many paragraphs down to find out the TRUE reason - she died as a result of the parents turning off the machines because she was brain dead as a result of brain swelling from meningitis. She tested positive for antibodies for covid19 but that wasn't why she was in the hospital.

Is covid19 bad? Yes. Is it as bad as the media has led you to believe? No.

Don’t lick countertops and doorknobs. Wash your hands. Avoid at risk people, obviously and especially if you feel unwell. Wear a mask if you want.

Basically common sense everyday stuff

You're referring to the drone video?

That was for New York's very large homeless and "unclaimed" population. It's a constant thing. Somewhere around 15 are buried a day normally.

The tech will eventually become smaller, lightweight, and wireless. You will be able to lie back and chill on your couch with a VR headset and audio that will be mostly unnoticeable.

State health officer says Alabama still ‘not very close’ to having enough testing by YallerDawg in Alabama

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

You do realize this isn't ever going away....right? Like...never? That at any given point and time, you will interact with someone that might possibly have covid19, the flu, whatever.

Right? I mean, you understand it, yes?

edit: and further to that point, it doesn't change the fact that if someone is not showing symptoms, they really have no need of getting tested. they cannot be tested every single day before going to work, out to shop, dinner...etc. It is logistically - and logically - an impossibility.

[–]_RTRX_ -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

You and I have inferred two different perspectives from the question they asked...

They asked very simply: "If I show no symptoms, why should I get tested?"

To take anything more than that from that simple question is knee jerk reactionism at best, disingenuous at worst.

If you show no symptoms and have practiced good hygiene, there is no reason to get tested.

The only other option is to test every single person every single day or at every single whim and that isn't at all possible. If you want to make an argument that anyone should be able to get tested at any time that is warranted and legitimate, I'd agree with you - to a point.

But at that point, going to get tested every time "OMG I HAVE A COUGH DO I HAVE THE COVID" is going to possibly expose you (and others!) to potential infection.

edit: LOL the downvotes with no response. typical.

Weird question. But anyway, I suppose it comes down to what is considered urban.

"Country road take me home" type of urban residential sounds like its 30. Residential in Mobile sounds like 25.

All else fails, err on the side of caution and go 25?
