I’ve been to COTA quite a bit for stuff. Big events I’ve been there for have been F1 and WEC when it was still going there and I’ve also seen a ton of smaller events there. I have tickets for T15 for the Indycar race, which I’m super excited about as I’ve not sat in that area before. Have sat in the main straight…

So I’m not shocked at all that the response doesn’t include any real denial of Page’s criticism.

I’m going to repeat what I wrote yesterday, which is that while I’m not going to applaud Liam Neeson for being open about his desire to commit a hate crime 40 years ago, he brought it up intentionally and in good faith to remind us that it takes very little prodding for any of us to give in to our darkest urges.

Yeah, except he hits chest to chest and stands him up first. It's just kind of a normal tackle that I see multiple times a game without a flag. 

Of course the reduced vaccination rate and consequential measles outbreak are caused by anti-vaxxers. What possible alternative explanation would explain the observations being reported?

The 2018 vaccine-refusal rate in the affected counties is close to 23.5% for children entering kindergarten. In 2002 it was 3%

This is all on the anti-vaxxers’ heads.

44 confirmed cases, 37 of which had not had the vaccine. This is a little bit deceptive since it shows that about 7 vaccinated kids got the disease. But what this doesn’t show is how many kids were exposed. The vaccine is only 93-97% effective. (Depending on dose.) Therefore if a couple hundred vaccinated kids were…

The vaccine is 97 percent effective if you’ve had two doses, 90% effective with one, if I recall correctly. That leaves 3%-10% margin of infection for people who are vaccinated. This can be due to various reasons, but differences in immune response, vaccine creation process, age of the vaccine dose, etc., can all…

God damn lazy stupid know nothing dolts who couldn’t be arsed to vaccinate caused a completely unnecessary outbreak of a disease that was basically eradicated. fuck your bullshit personal or religious exemptions. Get yourself and your kids vaccinated or move to outer bumfuck Egypt so the rest of us aren't exposed to…

I’d just place a sheet of paper on the sideline. The cat will immediately sit on it.

As any cat owner can tell you, you just have to close a door to the place you wish the cat to go. They will immediately paw on the door and leave on their own.

About Jerry’s Porsches...

*Ahem*

Imagine if Obama had served fast food. Not only would he have been excoriated for “besmirching the dignity of the office of President” or whatever, but we’d still be hearing “WHY DIDN’T HE SERVE FRIED CHICKEN HYUK HYUK” until the end of fucking time.

I don’t usually respond to dipshits, but the irony here is too good to pass up. I’m basking in the complete lack of self-awareness. 

So you deny that a few people snarfling up the majority of wealth in a nation suppresses the majority’s prosperity? How then do you explain what is happening in Merica right now? The middle class, what is left of it, is getting buried under a mountain of debt despite working their asses off, while the (super) rich’s…

I can’t tear my eyes off of Eric Gordon’s reaction in that GIF.

Asked this in another thread: how the fuck come criminal/financial background checks aren’t prerequisites for being allowed to register as a presidential candidate? Our national security’s biggest threat is a guy who shouldn’t have been cleared to pick up dogshit from the White House lawn; let alone become its prime…
