The virus was studied by multiple different healthcare agencies across multiple different continents.

This is not comparable to the performance yesterday.

Because it isn’t real. Unlike the very real humans who died doing this and the very real humans running Saudia Arabia who allowed this to happen.

try to keep an eye on neat, simple engineering projects from poor countries because we may need to rely on similar options soon enough ourselves.

I am just sitting here as a infrastructure guy trying not to have a mental break of crying and laughing. It’s so fucking bad and getting so much worse. You know what was today’s item? I am working on one small system for a replacement wastewater treatment plant for a town of about 3,000 people that the pieces of shit general contractor has dragged out for 8 fucking years. 8 years for a project that should have taken 6 months. They haven’t done any work. Longer it goes on the more they get to bill. Oh and my favorite part? The general contractor is one of the bigger ones, they have a Wikipedia page.

Cost disease is going to break us. Entire country is going to be spending a trillion a year with the water supply of Flint.

Now if you excuse me I am going to drink now. Cause fuck it I can’t save anyone.

My wife has a job with an awesome pension and as a result there is basically no situation she will ever leave. I pointed out to her that the golden handcuffs are still golden.

One day some MBAs are going to learn that if you don’t want constant turn over you give workers a pension so great they would crawl over their mother’s corpse to get it.

What am I saying? MBAs learning? Hahaha I love being silly.

Bad things are happening -> a minority caused it. All we have to is eliminate the minority and double down on ideas that failed us.

Guess humans haven’t changed much. On an unrelated note a friend of mine yesterday decided to tell me about the vast conspiracy of trans people to hurt girls and I am reconsidering our relationship.

The first pandemic caused primarily by human stupidity…

I was going to bring up the killing of cats right before the Black Plague of the 14th century but some searching online showed me that most historians think it was a factor but not the major factor.

So yeah I got nothing you might be right.

Again with the lies. You know people can see it, right?

Greenpeace: we should save the planet!

Me: great, let’s build nuclear power so we can shut down fossile fuels

Greenpeace: …No

Don’t worry Pakistan Greenpeace banned nuclear power and brought back coal, that will save you from the ravages of global warming

Didn’t mention a single word about Bayer. Basically you just lied.

Please present it.

I am? Please show me the date and time and comment in question. Unless you meant “you” in the sense of the word “imaginary person”.

Criminalizing a food via the court instead of by democracy is issue here.

Your buddies at Greenpeace couldn’t produce good arguments that the product was dubious, so they used Western money, judge shopped, and out lawyered a poor nation. They get to decide for the people there. Individual farmers don’t get to decide what to do with their land, people don’t get to decide how their own nation is to be run,. Greenpeace came in and used forklift piles of money to force their will on the Pinay.

This is why people fucking hate them. The self-appointed moral authority of the human race answerable to no one but themselves.

Apparently what happens is you are rich, well-liked, respected, powerful, have a big family, and you live to a pretty old age.

Got to say your skydaddy is sending some mixed messages here.

Remind me again: doesn’t the Book of Job make it clear that anyone who says “x happens because you were bad, y happens because you are good” (without direct prophecy) is worthy of death? Doesn’t Leviticus make it pretty clear that you are not to interpret signs and omens? Doesn’t Solomon teach that good and bad happen to people regardless of how they act? Isn’t the actions of Jesus proof that success doesn’t mean virtue and neither does misfortune?

Try being an atheist, it is a lot easier. You get to just accept that if there is any justice in this world, it is the justice us humans make.

Not sure how related this is but in my field, designing industrial control systems, each seperate physical button is about $100 added to the cost over a touchscreen. We call touchscreens HMIs just to be special and sound smart. I imagine the numbers are very similar for cars but I don’t have data to back that up.

My skydaddy can beat up your skydaddy!

-Wisdom of the 21st century

And this is news how?

The part where you made an assertion and couldn’t support it. You can help me understand that.

Gotcha you are not able to maintain your position that.

Centuries of racism can’t be fixed without compensation for those harmed.

A: compensation for those harmed

B: centuries of racism can be fixed

A —> B

I want to see evidence that racism can be fixed by compensation or at minimum that it is one of many required components.

Also if you can clarify what “fixed” means. Do you mean moving forward it isn’t a thing or do you mean it retroactively fixes what already happened?
