YES! We need humor. Thank you! Definitely an essential part of the resistance!

I think that's a tremendously good move. What a great resource. I can suck chunks of ammunition out of it and fire them at the enemy from time to time. Wrong way to think. Sorry. I mean wonderful doses of sane observance. I can throw them at the afflicted and maybe pierce the armour of their conditioning and make the light burst in on them.

I've been in great need of such a resource. Thank you, Matthew. :)

As to adding my own observations - everything I thought of I found you'd already covered except maybe that basic overall one: that in fact there is no emergency - is that covered?

I'll go check. :)

Oh, I'm sure there is plenty of unspent ammo on this.

It can get mean, just not personally-focused mean at ordinary people who are under the spell. We want for some of those people to start crossing lines to at least discuss and ask questions.

The molnupiravir pill may actually be more dangerous than the vaccines.

I wish I had taken a picture of the free mask pile at Target last night. I'd share that.

I've seen enough men come out of stinking bathroom stalls and walk right out the door. No bother to wash their hands. Thanks but no thanks.

The thing that makes my skin crawl is that stupid elbow bump. Only people ignorant of body language, like raised-in-a-closet ignorant, would substitute that for a handshake. Raise your elbow to me, I read that as "I'm about to elbow you out of my way". It makes me hate you, a little.

You must have watched Gordie Howe play hockey LOL.

I liken the elbow bump to salutes of the Bolsheviks & Nazis. At least a fist in the air or arm straight out has a air of authority to it. This elbow bump BS is just so dorky & pathetic.

This is really interesting. I have a few of these situations myself. Some things that I noticed or were personally involved in with someone else as an instigator.

Love it, would make the links open in a new tab so one doesn't have to navigate back to the site or remember to open the link in a new tab. And, put as many pics and embedded content as is possible without running afoul of rules. The fewer clicks that I can give to some of these sites the better.

The absurdities are piling up...

The FDA is rejecting HCQ early treatment because of a Minnesota study:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7384270/

(which also has a note about zinc in combination with HCQ)

https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/nda/2020/MemorandumDecliningRequestforHCQEUA_081020.pdf

Do you have anything on that study? (other than the limited PCR testing) Or is it a good study but the hydroxychloroquine meta-analysis is a stronger evidence?

I just found a critical analysis of that study: https://twitter.com/Covid19Crusher/status/1284515906375356416

I guess that is why it is counted in the positive outcome studies in the meta-analysis - https://c19hcq.com/?

Excellent! Since the foundational problem is fear, laughter is a proverbial proton torpedo up the thermal exhaust port of the opposition.

Wether you are 'allowed' to laugh or not, is a very good measure of how totalitarian someone is.
