The best time to get your flu shot is whenever it is offered to you. Countless thousands, perhaps millions of people, refuse a flu shot for no good reason when it is (almost certainly) free and effective. Especially considering kids are back in school in-person this year, these petri dishes of disease will proliferate…

“But maybe we can convince some crypto bros it’s a good start for their seasteading operation.”

I get what Oz is saying, but that’s still super-gross and, yeah, I’m OK with getting dragged for judging. Just because it’s biologically “fine” and not illegal doesn’t mean it’s any less icky. If I’m looking at my family tree on a monitor and I don’t need to scroll to see your name, we’re too close. There are…

The amount it costs just to keep a ship parked at the dock afloat is immense. But maybe we can convince some crypto bros it’s a good start for their seasteading operation.

Yeah, from what I can tell, this is his opinion from a biological perspective. i.e. 2nd cousins can have kids without severely fucking their offspring up.

Could it? Sure! No chance anyone will even lift a finger to make a plan to do so, b/c it’d be prohibitively expensive & any government subsidy suggested for it would be howled down within seconds.

No one else is anywhere near as popular as trump is among the republican base

This. 

Give he is the son of Turkish immigrants, I’d say even if he didn’t there is a good chance he’s related to some cousins that got married. It’s actually fairly common in the Middle East, as well as a lot of central and South East Asia. It goes along with arranged marriages.

He’s not wrong biologically speaking, which is why 2nd cousins can legally marry in all 50 states. At that level, problematic recessive traits getting excessively reinforced typically only become a problem over several generations in a small population (a very small town, or perhaps early-modern European royalty)…

I fled too, but the pierogis called me back. 

Fascists always have a great leader, as in, single. Don’t make the mistake of thinking he won’t be replaced.

Somehow this clown is less relatable then Donald frigging Trump.

We’re learning that only Trump can campaign that way. No one else can pull it off.

In fairness, so did Oz.

It’s funny.  When he first announced this run, I genuinely feared that his celebrity would give him the win.  Then he campaigned.

So how long until the cousin he himself “smashed” comes out of the woodwork?

Every day I grow more thankful that I took the time out of my life to flee across the country away from Pennsylvania.

And the bonus is, it cooks your food at the same time as you open the can!

This is the opener of a Jedi Knight. Not as clumsy or random as a dollar store opener; an elegant can opener for a more civilized age.
