As much as I'd like to agree, sometimes there are false accusations, and if his junk is removed, he'd still be a pedophile, as there are various kinds of molestation. Pedophiles must be imprisoned and tracked, as happens now. Moreover, the misleading title of this post should instead be: "A [pedophile] has been convicted of raping a 3-year-old girl in Virginia]." And because he's a pending migrant, he should be handed over to the Taliban, for them do decide what's approporate for pedophiles.

The statement is a quote that's linked to the opinions of 54 women.

socks · 2022-01-26T00:55:55+00:00

Hopefully you've noticed that men and women are biologically different down there. Removing part or all of the clitoral organs - which has happened in a number of African countries - is torture, as there are also thousands of nerves in that area, and this is done to girls who experience excruciating pain, excessive bleeding, sometimes suffer from serious infection, and sometimes have trouble urinating, all at great cost to their families for the procedure, after which they feel much less in that area. It's serious trauma. This is not true of foreskin.

I agree the vaccine requirements for stores are government overreach and idiocy (but N95 masks really should be required). It's not, however part of a fourth revolution or whatever. It's political pandering, the solution to which is to protest peacefully and elect better people.

Indeed - God wanted to kill Moses because he did not circumcise his son. Zipporah comes to the rescue by grabbing a sharp rock and performing the rite of chopping off the foreskin of what must have been a rather upset son. But it saved Moses's life. May we all have the benefit of a Zipporah in our lives when God wants to kill us.

"Or" in this case is a reference to an alternative approach. If however I had said "and", I would have referenced the same kind of approach. Trump has been referred to as a kind of saviour and Jesus-like person. You can find the references by searching for those terms. Another approach is that provided in the video, albeit not Jesus, specifically.

Interesting point. Some of the users here have said the opposite, because disagreements can build conversations and debates. I have a list of users who've disagreed with the extreme right-wing propaganda on Saidit, and have left within a few months. Perhaps you could raise your comment as a question in /s/AskSaidit and see what happens. I think Saidit has potential as a site for political debate, partially because users here seem to be somewhat less extreme, and seem to be older, but it can't keep users who disagree with the right-wing party line. Still, it's not like patriots.win, which is insane, and has many users. Perhaps Saidit will remain as it has this past year. But for those who want Saidit to grow (/u/magnora7), they could discuss what you've mentioned. There are periods when this is a popular subject on Saidit.

Why are you saying the infection rate has dropped when many countries are seeing their highest ever infection rates?

Different countries get the highest levels at different times. See the graphs here: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ Select the country you want to see and there is a graph which shows a periodic reduction of the number of cases.

It might reduce the spread by a small about but in the real world that doesn't have much effect.

The opposite of this. (The spread has reduced significantly, whcih has allowed for the reopening of businesses. Where do you get your news and information? With respect, this is well known.)

Most cases are caught in hospital, care homes, work, the family home where people are together for hours. Being 40% less infectious might make a difference when you are passing people on the street but in those situations it has next to no effect.

Again - where would one learn false information like this? Most of the 352 million documented cases (millions undocumented) were not caught in the hospital, but instead in public areas.

And let's face it we only had lockdowns and compulsory masks because zero symptomatic cases were supposed to be a major risk of spreading infection.

No...

So are you saying that was nonsense and those cases were actually no problem.

No...

Low GDP growth expectations of 3.8 to 2.5%, along with 7% inflation, will require a gradual interest rate increase to as much as .75% or 1% by the end of the year (rather than printing money). Inflation is at a 40-year high. Only crypto has taken a major hit. Other markets are relatively robust, even if overvalued, and should experience market corrections this year, but nothing that should cause alarm. It sucks, but it's not a sign of potential panic selling, IMO. The US has faced several periods with the similar numbers, and a much smaller market. And the dollar should be OK this year, thanks to supporting our Arab homies (rather than pumping more at home).

AXXA - can you find a better source than Breitbart? I can't seem to find anything that corroborates this "world record" number, even when I search the links provided there.

I am surprised that the Israel PR machine is getting so much attention regarding COVID, when it's a population of only 9 million, and is rich enough to look after everyone, as they've done (while committing attrocities against Palestinians). It's an evil government that gets attention for vaccines while hiding evidence of their daily attrocities.

If one looks here:

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

Israel was 18th in number of new cases 2 days ago. They've had more tests than most countries per capita (17th in total tests/capita), and they rank 27th in total cases, whereas only 8393 have died (by contrast with most other countries). They're also 13th in total cases/capita.

Breitbart and others should report on the real news from Israel: how many non-Hebrew lives have they ruined today.

I think they're reviewing the language of the old-fashioned tags and labels. Misunderstandings surround assumptions that earlier groups of humans are sometimes called 'primitive' and are often shown with much darker skin, or with facial characteristics they may not have had, often with almost no clothing, and with the false idea that they lived in caves. Anthropologists update this material regularly. There is also new evidence that neanderthals lived with homo sapiens. The Science Museum displays might be out of date.

Being vaccinated doesn't stop you spreading the virus.

It does reduce the spread of the virus, because the more people who are vaccinated, the more people have antibodies to deal with it and are thus less likely to have it for long periods and thus less likely to spread the virus to others. This i show innfection numbers have reduced. Even those who believe in 'herd immunity' appreciate this. The less likely one is to suffer from the virus, the less likely one is to spread it, because they are contagious for a shorter period.

It doesn't stop you catching the virus.

Yes, you can still get the virus, but you are less likely to pass it on, for reasons noted above.

This is the problem the article is pointing out,

The article is misleading, for reasons I note here, among others.

there's a whole lot of silent assumptions in the pro-mandate crowd make which are just plain wrong.

I think the assumptions are not silent, but instead well documented in medical science research, testing, and billions of doses of vaccines, as well as reductions of infections between periods of new strains.

Wirtschafter says as more people become aware of how misinformation spreads online, audio deserves the same scrutiny as social media.

She has studied how the "Big Lie" that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from Donald Trump spread on political podcasts in the lead-up to the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. She found that half the episodes of the most popular shows released between Election Day and Jan. 6, 2021, contained misleading or false claims about voter fraud and election integrity.

"We're not talking about fringe ideas," she said. "These are the most popular podcasts in the United States."

Let's hope. Recently while watching Bloomberg (on TV) I saw a multi-part segment on the question - "is the pandemic on track to become an epidemic soon?" Three times during the evening they asked different virologists (in different countries) this question, none of whom thought the pandemic would downgrade anytime soon, as there are expected to be other strains this year, when one considers the developments of strains in other countries and how they've easily spread to countries with lax COVID restrictions (eg. the US hasn't required testing after flights, as have some of the European countries). The Bloomberg reporter seemingly wanted the virologists to answer positively, as she asked the same question in several ways. So at the moment investors watching Bloomberg will likely expect the pandemic to continue in some form through at least the 4th quarter.

socks · 2022-01-21T20:08:33+00:00

Short answer: it's typical Tory politics

Long answer: More Brits per capita have suffered from COVID than in most other countries with populations over 10 million, noted here. Thanks to the NHS and the government, most have been vaccinated. Potential for death caused by COVID for much of the population is now rather low, though long COVID is still possible. I almost never agree with Tories, but on the issue of 7% inflation, brought about by their BREXIT lies, they need to focus on small businesses and the service industry suffering from these Brexit mistakes and lax COVID regulations in the first year of COVID. So - whereas a mask mandate should continue (and some businesses will continue them) - getting people back to work is important. The UK government has also paid significant portions of people's salaries for the past 2 years (unlike in the US, which has a very different system). Thus, virus rates will increase with this new decision, and more people will suffer, but Tories see that some of the country's limitations have been reached. I think the mask mandate should continue, but would see that the reduction of the other restrictions is a decision to try to help the UK economy. Also, tourist season is about to begin.

anti-vax disinformation > I merely mention facts or locate links to medical science reports (it's easy to do)

transgender > seems to me it's none of my business, or anyone elses, though I've discussed the two transgender people I know

transgender sports or and in toilets > everyone agrees this should be restricted to actual M or F, not M & F

corruption on The Hill > everyone here seems to agree

corruption is equally shared between parties? > no, though this doesn't stop some Saiditors from licking GOP dirty buttholes, so I periodically point out that the Dems are the party of the 99%, democracy &c, whereas the GOP are obviously the opposite

illegal immigration > everyone here seems to agree on the deportation of all of them, as do I

blacks are bad > DAR LOVES this subject, and I've occasionally corrected them with facts that prove them wrong

Thanks for the explanation and for the support (I and others also actively campaigned for you and Carswell to be unbanned over a year ago). For what it's worth, I don't like extremes in politics, right or left. What's happened at CovIdiots seems to be a culling of trolls, much like bots do on other subs, but a dumbass mod at CovIdiots set the bot parameters incorrectly, to look at other subs. (As you would know, I've never had a kind thing to say about anti-maskers or anti-vaxxers, as they selfishly endanger others.) Whatever the bot found was incorrect. In any event, using bots like this is pathetic, desperate, overreach. I cannot remember the last time I saw an interesting or informative post at CovIdiots, nor do I remember the last time I visited the sub, so I won't appeal the case or miss the sub, nor have I commented in it.

Regarding my returns to Saidit, I know that it can be a place for engaging discussions and ideas, even if I do not agree with some of the approaches here (though sometimes /s/all is blanketed with anti-vax and extreme right-wing misinformation, which is dumb, naive and uninteresting). Saidit has more of potential for engagement than much of Reddit. Sadly, Saidit can't keep a diverse audience. Non-fascist users are abused and they leave (I've kept a 'friends' list of some of them).

Regarding political arguments that are deemed 'right' or 'wrong', I tend to value arguments that are instead 'better' or 'worse' rather then judged in black and white terms, unless there are factual errors.

I'm not going to look for the old articles at the moment, but I recall that the efficacy of cloth masks was understood to be significant - as much as 80%, depending on distance. The efficacy fo cloth masks against omicron transmission is a more recent concern.

You know that there is much more to Paul's early messages about masks than the difference between cloth and N95. He and we aren't that dense. Most of us got by with basic cloth masks until recently (omicron) because research indicated that masks of most kinds reduced transmission significantly. The omicron strains are of course much more transmissible, which has us now focused on N95 (niosh) and KN95 masks which are required on flights. (Still, this is the ONLY domestic flight requirement in the US, but that's a different discussion.) Paul knows well that his approaches to masks have been aimed at anti-mask voters who want to use that excuse for not wearing masks - and want to tell others that they won't wear them because Paul told them they're not effective. It's not like they've read Paul's statements as pro-N95, and he's well aware of it. He's speaking to them, specifically.

socks · 2022-01-18T20:52:32+00:00

I don't see the approaches of Paul, Green, Sinema, Manchin, Trump and others as secretive or hidden, but rather obvious to those of us concerned about the long history of politicians' manipulations of news media and (now) social media to spread propaganda. It's all visible, which is one reason for developments of PACs and other groups that hide the sources of political donations. My comments don't surprise anyone. They've seen the propaganda, misinformation and disinformation. What's different on Saidit - and perhaps worthy of continuous discussion here - is how this information is interpreted.

They're trying to fool people into thinking that a vote for them is an anti-government vote, that democracy is a sham and should not be trusted, and that instead these GOP crooks and their corporate sponsors will look after you. It's the only way they can get votes. If you bother to read what they've actually done while in power, you would never vote for them, and they know it. So R. P. and others can get plenty of news media attention for engineering death threats against Fauci, while politicians who are actually governing are not getting news coverage. So R. P. is somehow the anti-government hero, while doing exactly what the GOP playbook tells him to do, in order to restrict voting, reduce taxes on the rich, increase taxes on the 99%, keep wages low, kill the envoronment at the behest of corporations, take money away from funds for education, reduce Social Security options, etc. etc. Meanwhile - did you see what he said to Fauci? Doesn't matter. Follow the money.

Thanks for the info - which I didn't know about. I see now that:

People who recover from mild COVID-19 have bone-marrow cells that can churn out antibodies for decades, although viral variants could dampen some of the protection they offer.

Here is part of the backstory.

I doubt M7 has had vaccines, and he notes he possibly had the virus 2 other times. So perhaps there is a periodic development of antibodies in this case. Not that those antibodies last for longer than 3-6 months, but icreased immunity does appear to be one of the reasons for gradual decreases in cases, thanks to vaccines and in some cases, thanks to people building immunity after getting certain strains of COVID.

I might add that I think M7 is also listening to Rand Paul's approaches. I worry about this because he's of course misleading and quite dangerous. One can also get those updates on his website and donate at the same moment to him. He's literally profiting from his misinformation. In any event, I hope this adds to the discussion.

M7: GREAT news that you are feeling better. Best wishes.

I am obviously not referring to the "value" of what's discussed on Saidit. I am referring to Federal interest in Saidit, which must be nil. When I joined Saidit well over a year ago I had no opinions about the site, other than to wonder about what Redditors wrote about it ("another schizo right-wing shithole"). But now after a 14+ months of activity on the site, I naturally have a good reason to ask this question about the Canary. It never reports anything new, nor is there ANYTHING on Saidit that's useful to the Feds or to other governments. Moreover, count the number of users, and look at the website traffic ranking which hasn't changed much in well over a year. Like other users here, I'd like to see Saidit to be more active and more interesting, especially because it has real potential. When however users like you refer to a good question as "a retarded take", that is of course often the typical low POD response one gets if they aren't towing the fascist line or whatever. Certainly, corporations will track information on social sites like Saidit, but that's not at all what I am discussing. When users refer to shills or feds on Saidit, they've obviously not understood that they really don't exist here, nor can anyone explain what a shill or a fed would hope to gein by visitng Saidit.

Good point about privacy - but I just don't know what they'd want. Even if they asked for IP numbers and login times, they'd already have access to that via your ISP, and the other stuff is visible, seems to me. I bring this up because I sometimes see people accused of being shills or feds, but would really doubt this and would be curious about anything anyone would gain by acting in either capacity on Saidit. No one seems to question this.

This post is a funny tradition, M7. [Edit:] Perhaps I've not been looking in the appropriate subs, but I've never seen anything on Saidit that would be of interest to Feds or foreign governments. There was a post recently that encouraged people to break the law in several states by falsifying vaccine records, but that's perhaps not a federal concern.

Hospitals can no longer cope with the spread of the virus by people who don't want to follow the usual guidelines.

These high risk statistics are also used in the UK and other countries, where higher risk people are invited to get vaccines earlier.

Looked OK to me. I use Adblock Plus - which caught 14 items/ads. I've not seen the site you've linked, and when I select that link it tries the link and quickly redirects to a Google home page (my home page). Perhaps Adblock blocked it. I didn't see malware, but what do I know.

He is an exceptional political activist and person, with a very clear, consistent message since the early 1960s about the importance of challenging the 1% on the behalf of the needs of the 99%. He been one of the few politicians to consistently work for the 99% and to address the problems of class warfare. Sadly, he's not appropriately strategic and has thus limited his political capabilities. He's not networked appropriately, and his activisim has extended to unworkable options, like cancelling student debt, approaches to 'socialist' reforms, remaining an independent, anti-NRA approaches, banking reform, opposition to the military industrial complex, to the Patriot Act, and reducing trade with China. All of these would be wonderful to address, but he should know how to work in increments toward those goals, rather than assume that there is sufficient political support for them. Nor has he had the necessary network of support. Politicians have to work with much greater complexity, rather than assume that a socialist revolution is possible on the Hill. He is however one of the best political activists for the 99%.

Thanks for this. Perhaps it was unintentional, but it's interesting to see the removal of the Natural World from the components of 3.0 to 5.0, whereas 'coexistence with Nature' should have remained an explicit priority in these components. This is however a common loss in historical assessments of the evolution of innovation and technology, even when - often - wind, water and solar power are discussed.

Thanks. I often say on Saidit much of what he's saying, but I am not Jewish, nor do I support the current government of Israel, which in my view (and in the view of many Jewish friends and colleagues) has turned in a fascist direction. You might remember Stephen Miller, as well as the Jared Kushner/Trump crime family. These are the kinds of people Stanley speaks against.

It's less than a year old, so - if a lawyer advises it - they can send (for M7) a cease and desist letter to the app's domain registration service and to their server, Amazon. In the letter, Saidit.net might require initial evidence of ownership/copyright. The formal US copyright service is here. Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer.

spreads the same vaccinated or not

No (This conflates, spreading, mutating, and damage caused by COVID. It spreads less among the vaccinated.)

actually spreads more in the vaccinated now

No (This conflates vaccinated and unvaccinated groups in places where they've not had masks.)

hospitals are empty tho so it's good that omicron isn't serious

No (hospitals are packed .)

every 30 days is crazy, that is just to increase the chances people get vaccine long haul

No - every 90 days, though we were initially informed of a 6 month window of vaccine effectiveness

Edit - SORRY - I see that I put 30 days instead of 90 days and have now corrected it. Yikes - that's enough internet for me today.

Some of those same kids once called Janis a pig and a weirdo and threw pennies at her, teasing her about everything from her weight to her acne to her outspokenness about civil rights. Many of them never left Port Arthur, so 10 years hadn’t brought many changes.

Good question, as it is partially about sympathy for a middle-aged friend who wanted a child but was getting too old to have one. It's about: "This whole idea of time and it being more precious as you age." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_of_Time_(Bonnie_Raitt_song)

If it spreads, it mutates. If one doesn't get the vaccine, there is greater difficulty dealing with the virus, which also spreads to others. Unvaccinated people are also likely to get COVID more than once, and to be hospitalized. If one gets the vaccine, it helps the body build antibodies that help with the latest strains, and most vaccinated people avoid going to the hospital. But because millions are still unvaccinated, the virus spreads and mutates, and thus everyone still requires the vaccine every [90] days.
