  • They redistricted to dilute the Black vote…

    That is not what the headline is referring to with the 45k number…

    That is the amount of votes that were already cast in a primary for the old maps…

    And those ballots are discarded, and those voters will vote in two months in the districts they’re no in.

    What you’re talking about isn’t what the article you’re commenting on is about buddy.

    “But voting was already happening,” Vega said, cutting Landry off. “As we sit here right now, more than 45,000 ballots have been returned. What happens to those?”

    In the previous article linked earlier, it says the primary will be in July, it’s confusing because in this article he jumps straight to talking about the general

    Does it make sense now?





  • You’re saying, and have repeated it over and over, that race based gerrymandering doesn’t matter

    Nope.

    The decision is completely different.

    What would be worse, is if they said those 45k already voted and counting them under the new map even if that meant the candidates that were voted for by African Americans in those two districts obviously can’t run in every district that their voters are now in…

    That would be bad.

    I’m not sure why you’re so upset about this instead of waiting to see if there was something you were missing.

    Does it make sense now?

    Because if you still have questions and ask them the same way, Im probably just going to never attempt to help you again


  • Any mask is better than no mask…

    But look at the type the WHO was wearing (full on body suits), or the plastic “iron lung” tents the Spanish are using when someone pops positive.

    I really don’t know if COVID era masks would do anything or not.

    It’ll be like COVID at best, where wearing a mask doesn’t prevent you from being infected, but a mask drastically reduces who you infect.

    So, masks would only work if everyone is wearing them. One asymptomatic idiot that refuses to even get tested would infect everyone they walk past.



  • There’s a reason Israel doesn’t want to deploy their own soldiers in other countries…

    Bibi has less than 50% support, that’s why he keeps cancelling elections

    And the only people getting out of the IDF, was the far right extremists that overwhelmingly support Bibi.

    Which means the majority of the IDF, probably don’t support any of this shit, and may even be unwilling to even go to Iran.

    Conscripted soldiers aren’t the same as regular soldiers. And if even a couple start refusing, it can quickly lead to the majority of your military saying “fuck it” and drop their guns and just going home.

    Or even worse for Bibi, they can say “fuck it” and keep their guns and go to Bibis home.

    Anyone saying he has a type grip on Israel either fell for his propaganda or are intentionally spreading it.






  • At the moment, there is no sign that we are seeing the start of a larger outbreak

    I’d fucking hope so…

    If we see signs of a larger outbteak, it’s already too late. This has 40% mortality rate under the best conditions when dealing with isolated cases, and an R factor over two (1 is where its infectious enough to cause wifescale problems)

    This is like Y2k all over again. We need to take it seriously and if we do a bunch of idiots will think that means we didn’t need to.

    But if we let the idiots win and don’t take it seriously, then we’re all fucked

    I’ll never understand why the idiots get so fucking triggered that someone else is worried about something and trying to protect them.

    If people don’t think this is a big deal and there’s no reason for anyone to worry, then they can just ignore the entire thing on a personal level.

    Instead they feel insulted if anyone disagrees with them, because that’s what idiots do.

    They don’t care about if they’re right, they just get mad if anyone disagrees with them about anything.




  • Do you believe you know more about Hantavirus than the International Hantavirus Society?

    I’ll be honest, did not expect you to claim your sister was one, what I get for taking accounts seriously

    Like, it’s over twice what you said would be a problem …

    But suddenly now that’s not a problem?

    You’re just not serious. None of what you say matters, you have an opinion (this isn’t a big deal) and nothing else matters to you… You’ll change anything else to make this not feel like a big deal

    Why?

    Like, do you think if you just lie and say whatever to make people think it’s not a big deal…

    That it will magically stop being a big deal?

    That’s not how anything works…


  • No, the last big outbreak was 2.1…

    Here, check out an actual source:

    In the 2018–2019 Epuyén outbreak, 34 confirmed cases were linked to one index case, with transmission apparently amplified by symptomatic individuals attending >crowded social events, followed by subsequent close-contact transmissions. Epidemiological analysis estimated >an initial median reproductive number of approximately 2.1 before control measures were implemented, >decreasing after isolation, quarantine and active contact tracing.

    But hey, maybe you just know more than who release that statement…

    Let’s see, that was the checks notes, International Hantavirus Society

    Do you believe you know more about Hantavirus than the International Hantavirus Society?

    Do you know we have asymptomatic carriers now too?
