Re: Coronavirus - COVID-19
<Professor Mode> People love to talk about rights, or claim they have rights, but actually don't understand the basis for these rights... are they basic (essential for treating person with dignity as an autonomous agent) or derivative (instrumentally valuable for achieving something else we value)? ...

Does wearing a football helmet prevent concussions? No. However, if you play without one, the likelihood that you will suffer a concussion (not to mention a number of other injuries) is significantly higher than if you wear a helmet. Basic risk management and similar to something like wearing a mas...

Is it untrue that vaccinated people are still getting it? If the vaccine is effective why the insistence by some on mask wearing (something I’ve never done) and “lockdowns”?

Well I appreciate it, man. You may not be able to answer this question but why has the messaging on this been so conflicting and such a train wreck from the word go?

I appreciate it, buddy. And surely don’t believe you would steer me wrong but isn’t this new strain less deadly than the one before? In short, "no" it is more contagious and more deadly.

I don’t either. Some of these folks I’ve actually met and they’re nice people. For the most part to me the main issue is an unwillingness or inability to ever even entertain their team might be wrong.

Re: DBT Tracks #43 - Love Like This
Boys, here is the problem with your flower gifting: if you do it too frequently (say, more than once every decade), the recipient begins to expect the act more frequently. Better to gift something practical, like sex toys. It appears Flea has circled us back to the original focus of the thread... i...

Or better yet, consider Montgomery County, home to the Main Line suburbs just outside Philadelphia. In 2016, Montgomery gave Clinton a net of over 93,000 votes over Trump.
