  2. Tsk tsk. Such arrogance coming from the next PM of Canada.
  3. On Tuesday, two travelers from Shanghai went to the nearby city of Hangzhou, where they visited a shopping mall. After they later tested positive, the mall was immediately sealed off, with more than 2,000 people stranded inside overnight. Those two travelers have been detained for an official investigation.”

    Wondering how Mr. Trudeau and his supporters, all those who voted him in, are liking that basic Chinese dictatorship now?

      China claims almost 87% are fully vaccinated.  This is what compliance gets you.

  4. Reminds me of years ago when they tried to promote feminist equality among fire fighters. Videos of women struggling to lift the ladders. Sorry ladies, this job needs to be done by big burly men. Thats what it takes in the field. But doesn’t matter to me if they want to slip on a tutu, when the shift is over!
  5. Come on now, friend, I share your dismay. It needn’t be so bad.
  6. Not true, damn you! I want kitty back
  7. Was not Jesus resurrected on the third day? Was it not written that people thought he was a prophet who returned? Laws, yes... And have we not heard it said, among Christians, ye must be born again? Oh my Laws... -------------------------------------------------------------------------- But more to the point, do I believe in reincarnation? Perhaps. I don't believe life is like a video game where you always re-spawn, until you get enough points to go to the next level. However in a way we replicate ourselves through DNA, and certain character traits can persist from one generation to the next. There may only be a few different types of human being, the so-called archetypes, and we are all repetitions of these templated themes. Every few generations the same type of person can appear again. Stamped out on conveyor belts, like mass-production machines. Wave after wave of the same dipshits.
  8. It;s still mechnistic, physical random event. Same as any radioactive decay. You can buy one of those for your entropy maker. Me, I'll just hang my socks out the window.
  9. Yes “Of course” they are. There are lots of easier ways to do it than quantum tunelling. If you read the link carefully you’ll see it mentions various mechanical systems. Even wind speed. No need to make massive particle accelerators. Because in nature the ability to measure a random value seems much easier than the numbers mathematical algorithms produce. Math is too precise. Or as it states, the memory usage increases without bound. I like that statement... The human mind cannot mathematically fathom true randomness. Too much memory to handle. The mind gets discombubberated. For what is nature if not simply a much bigger database with a much larger memory. Thus it also repeats itself, but on a much longer time scale. So long that we cannot perceive it at our scale. Therefore the law of eternal recurrence All is predestined, and doomed to repeat There is nothing new under the sun Have great day
  10. Speaking of numbers, I was at the casino the other day playing craps, which is aptly named. I knew the odds were against me but I played anyway. We assume these games are based on random numbers, though I wonder sometimes. I remember from computer programming class that weirdly, random numbers are hard for a computer to make. There are different mathematical algorithms, some better than others. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_number_generation “Most computer generated random numbers use PRNGs which are algorithms that can automatically create long runs of numbers with good random properties but eventually the sequence repeats (or the memory usage grows without bound). ”
  11. "Investigators found that acesulfame potassium and sucralose inhibit the activity of a protein in the body called P-glycoprotein (PGP). PGP pumps many foreign substances out of cells, according to health experts, and is part of a group of transporters that help cleanse the body of drugs, toxins, and drug metabolites.

    "We observed that sweeteners impacted PGP activity in liver cells at concentrations expected through consumption of common foods and beverages, far below the recommended FDA maximum limits," Stephanie Olivier Van Stichelen, PhD, who lead the research team, said in the release.

    You know how long this shit has been on the market? It's made by a buncha of alchemist tinkerers.

    Bring on the untested mrna vaccines, because "emergency". When are you people gonna learn. Stop trusting the government and their scientific mouthpieces. They're not your mommy.

  12. The farmer's wrap already comes with a hash brown, so why order potato wedges? It's like a double order. No wonder you're getting fat and paying so much, you don't know what you're doing. Boges on the other hand has the menu memorized, including prices.
  13. Yoh. I say screw the Ayatollahs.
  14. I don't doubt for a second those Shiite dogs are a bunch of savages. As to Iranian people, the few I've met were happy to get out of Iran. There are some in Iran who oppose the Islamic fundamentalist dictatorship, but I suspect there are also many who support it. All it requires is a sizable population of stupid people, and that, is surprisingly easy to make it seems. A totalitarian government needs people to be stupid and uneducated to support them. Their message appeals to the more primitive and barbarous, so there must be many religious zealots in Islamic countries. As for banning the soccer team, not sure if that would accomplish anything. It's better to engage with your adversary in some ways. Iran the country does not deserve praise or recognition, but banning has problems of its own. You want to do something useful ban FIFA instead. And ban the bloody Olympics, too.
  15. "Police services across North America are seeing a decline in applicants. For perspective, between April and December 2021 the RCMP had received 6300 applications. When looking at the previous fiscal year the RCMP had received close to 11,800 applications. This shows a decline of almost 47 percent.

    In addition the RCMP is projecting an even further decline in applicants.”

    apocalypse now,

    apocalypse now,

    apocalypse now, motherfucker

      A 47% drop in new applicants, and further decline forecasts it.

      But it’s more about the change in attitude. I dont particularly like the RCMP, and there are lots of reasons not to enroll. But this big a drop is indicative of a shift in general attitude.

      Happening elsewhere too. Look to Calgary... the Thin Blue Line patch.

      Stupid woke government wants to demonize police and make them scapegoats, in deference to BLM.

      It’s no way to run a country...

      Not wanting to be a cop during COVID may have something to do with it. 

      Police have taken a hit in PR recently.

      Raise the pay.  Cops deserve most of the criticism they get  A lot of them behave like tyrants.  People are holding them accountable and now people don't want to apply? Boo hoo.

  16. Oh dear, another one of us who has lost his soul. You shouldnt’a came in here...
  17. The church knows what actually happened. Somewhere in their vaults are notes taken from when they made the Nicean creed, for example. Certain... illegal documents... that must be kept hidden for the protection of the church. Church, power structure, embodiment, corpus, corporation. Christ, Inc. But aside from this, the question whether Jesus was real or not becomes irrelevant when you realize what Paul wrote was about the spiritual moral aspects of thought.
  18. Fire make hot.
  19. Zactly. In fact are a necessary and much needed phenomenon in the natural life-cycle of forests. I learned that a long time ago, in sküle...
  20. Nothing to do with denial, which is actually a river in Egypt. Paul only admits he saw Jesus in a vision. This happened some years after the crucifixion. None of his writings indicate that he encountered Jesus any other time. And Paul was a big talker. Paul talked so much the other apostles hated him. He usurped leadership of the christian movement and took it in a different direction.
  21. We perpetuated it by goofing around. Goofing around means, trying to hide from it. All the things we did kept it around longer. Just like with bugs, if you dont kill them they eventually adapt and become resistant. Whatever doesn’t kill me, makes me stronger. Then they are really coming for you, baby. Had we simply ignored it, it would have taken its toll and died out like so many others have in the past million years or so of human existence. Somehow we survived without the need for fancy chemicals prepared in a laboratory. Instead of staying home and hiding to protect our dilapidated healthcare system we should have dragged our useless leaders out of their palatial homes and made them pay for their shortcomings. Instead they have pumped themselves up to celebrity status. Our saviours, without whom we must all perish. Somehow we just keep getting stupider as time goes on. Today’s so-called modern man man is just a Facebook sucking, twitter feeding homo. By that I mean Homo Unsapiens Homo Moronicus Technologus
  22. Spring is sprung!

    And now comes the bird flu,

    the Nile virus,

    and ticks...

    You liberals better stay the hell indoors.

    It’s for your safety

    and the safety of others...

      Yep. Nothing like a sneeze or cough to get you dirty looks, from the Zero-Covid fanatics.

  23. Not to worry. Far be it from me to take your fun (or god) away from you. Carry on blaspheming...
  24. Just more black on black violence. Yawn. Give them an oscar too.
  25. “Do you believe Jesus really existed?” or rather, when did you stop beating your wife? The devil is asking you this question. Answer it, and lose your soul...
