Re: Coronavirus General Discussion
I dont necessarily object to gain of function research. But its interesting how this story was scrubbed for several days, and how most of family will never hear about it. People are living in different realities if they dont seek out contrarian news sources. When everyone had to read NYtimes, WSJ et...

Re: £10million disappears from Usain Bolt's investment account
I was in Jamaica for a few hours in 06. Went to meet a girl who didnt show up (can you imagine, with my charm?) Cab drivers aggressively pushing weed. Security back at LAX was suspicious. Searched my bags and barely missed porn I had folded into a book. Last time I flew (aerophobia). Anyway he shoul...

Re: The State of the Economy
The country is rich, but the distribution could get worse. Tech is making stuff cheaper and cheaper. Easy jobs are disappearing, making the minimum wage a huge problem. People need structure.

Re: What's the future for Conservatism?
Millions of immigrants willing to work harder. Automation taking more jobs. Internet for entertainment. I quit science in 2005 because I could troll 4chan all day.

Re: DIY Real Estate
IF you are going to spend hours a day reading investment news, you probly are better off doing housing where you can get your boots on the ground and research neighborhoods, schools and contractors. VS trusting MSM stock tips and competing against millions of other investors online.

There's probably at least one person here who'd put me in a gulag if (when!) they can lol. I'm getting less optimistic about what year it will be before we have "world peace" despite there being enough food produced for everyone.

You dont wake up one day and there's a crematorium next door. It takes years of otherizing people and normalizing the quarantine of healthy people and medical treatments at gunpoint. You stand against this now.
