1923: Adolf Hitler led a failed coup. He was treated leniently, and Germany moved on.
1933: Adolf Hitler turned Germany into a dictatorship, and the worst disaster in the history of the civilized world ensued.
When a coup attempt goes unpunished, it becomes a training exercise.
@Popehat @lourdesgnavarro @GabrielJR FFS. We've been doing this for a year now. Why is this still a question?
The mask was never about protecting the mask-wearer from everybody else. It was always about protecting everybody else from the germs inside the mask wearer.
A 95% effective vax still fails in 1/20 cases.
if you're vaccinated and wear a mask outside when you don't have to ... i don't care at all because that doesn't affect me or anyone else in any conceivable way
@BabsSheKing @AlishaGrauso He is worth reading. One of the few popular writers who is technically masterful. Not just a decent imagination or story teller. If you start with On Writing you will learn who he is and his writing.
@yashar I have been this way my entire life. It doesn't matter if I'm woken up in the middle of the night, same. Not a sleep cycle thing. Made me really resentful of SO when we had infants because it took so long for them to get up. Turns out I'm the weirdo, but definitely genetic.
@cavaticat @SpiderPranker Yup, just sharing similar angles. Frequently buy out the entire wal-mart stock of enemas (for deficient 4-legged newborns) and make sure to apply an affect and wear the weirdest possible outfit to give the clerks a good story.
A gunman slaughtered 8 working class people at a FedEx in Indianapolis. FedEx workers surrender their phones during their shifts. 1. The victims never called their loved ones. 2. We can be asked to give up our phones but *not* our guns. 3. We limit freedoms for workers not gunmen
Next announce that you won’t eat food that immigrants gather for you in back-breaking agricultural work or that they cook in the restaurants you dine in or the meat you eat from meat packing plants where they work.
Stop the hypocrisy and stop dehumanizing immigrants.
It's wild that everyone is freaking out about the AZ vaccine causing blood clots (1 in 250,000 chance) and no one bats an eye at birth control having a ONE IN A THOUSAND risk of blood clots.
6 cases of blood cots out of 6 million vaccinations and we pause a life-saving vaccine.
But 38,000 gun DEATHS a year and Republicans want to make it easier to get a gun.
