Assuming it perforates the intestine - big infection from fecal matter getting into the abdominal cavity. It’s called peritonitis, and AFAIK it’s pretty much fatal if untreated. Severe abdominal pain as the infection spreads, all the vomiting and diarrhea cleans you out, and then the infection starts to shut your intestines and the rest of your organs fail while you go into sepsis and die. It’s not fast, either. It can take several days.

They don’t always have to fire a gun. Choking people to death is just as effective. Sitting on them. Tazeing them repeatedly.

Driving unaware posts.

A lot? Trichinosis has almost been eliminated in pork. An old study looking for a particular parasite found little to none depending on the product. Here is another study showing very low incidence of parasites in meat products, but also includes fresh produce in the study which had higher rates than some meats.

So I disagree that “A lot” is correct.

If the news could get their collective heads out of their asses and stop validating the right wing freakshow by giving them tons of airtime, then yes, students could also potentially sway the election.

“Xitter”?

Reads like “chitter”, sounds creepy enough.

President Felonius Trump.

Picked up near the Ukrainian border, they say?

Wonder how much further they will go to tie this to Ukraine. Hasn’t ISIS already claimed responsibility?

I think you’re right. I messed up. I read it as the rights of the LGBTQ were enforced by restricting others.

1944 was how long ago? That’s how long it took for a jewish person to sound just like a rabid Nazi.

It’s always the super-rich assholes killing Civilization. They just keep leeching up all the money while crushing anyone who disagrees with them. Eventually the disparity is so huge you wind up with Haiti or some other authoritarian country run by absentee kleptocrats funneling all the money offshore while bleeding every last penny from the impoverished masses.

Fuck this clueless twat.

Probably the 90’s in the US. For context I’m an '80s kid.

The dust from deregulation had mostly settled, healthcare hadn’t skyrocketed, education and homes were still mostly affordable. Union busting and offshoring had settled down a little. Bankruptcies crushing retirements, too. You thought that the traditional paths of career, maybe getting married, and buying a house were still on the table. Politics were pretty stable and it was probably the last time you could make the argument that “both sides” were kinda the same. We were kinda coasting after the close of the Cold War…sure there were some skirmishes, but nothing huge. The were the “good old days” where shit was just going OK for the most part (please don’t pedantically point out what was wrong with society, no period is perfect, it’s just that the '90s had a few less bumps in the road). The internet was becoming a more widespread thing, technology was advancing rapidly. You could still save the Earth with a little recycling, Climate Change wasn’t obviously having effects as veiwed by the average person.

Followed by the '00s where we got hammered really fast with dot-com bust, 9/11, recession after recession, decades of war, politics shifting hard right, rapidly rising costs thanks to speculation and corporate mergers…it’s been pretty unsettled for quite a while and for those entering the workforce now it’s rough.

Yeah…the '90s. Things were still looking up until TSHTF in '00s and after.

In Boeing’s case that’s probably the reality of the last couple decades. The beancounters have gotten in the way of Safety.

Lol ,no. That would be like 9 pm.

There were several missteps by vaccine proponents that undermined their case. There was also a lot of hyperbole from vaccine hesitant people that made them look hysterical.

Really. What missteps were made? The hysteria from hesitant anti-vaxxers and political fear mongerers were real, I would call “hesitant” people the ones who realize vaccines are a likely necessity but didn’t understand how the COVID vaccines worked and were probably influenced by lies from the ant-vax crowd.

What middle ground could possibly be made here regarding “truth”? Vaccine risks are known and fairly well established. The risks of early COVID strains were known. The only people straddling a fence in the middle are those who lack the knowledge of the risks or have objectively real medical problem with vaccines, not some made-up junk about mercury or something.

Vaccines are neither a 100% safe panacea, nor are they injectable death.

OMG this is binary JAQing off. Nobody suggests either of these and it’s ridiculous to even posit this phrase.

Like a greentext…just made up BS. Really, the “cowboy” was the only one dressed appropriately for weather?

And the leather soles get mushy…and the salt used to melt the ice absolutely shreds the leather just above the stitching when it dries out. Western boots suck in the snow, and it’s a quick way to ruin them. Even rubber-soled ones like some of Ariat’s don’t last, but they’re better on wet surfaces.

Frittering my life away, latibulating on my corner computer, earning skins, frippery, for my gaming character, while wearing my haku…a gaming headset.

Go ahead and buy. Shares generally tank pretty quick after IPO for companies that don’t actually make anything, the dot bust ensured that. Only time will tell if Reddit shares improve or flounder around not going anywhere. An additional thought - Reddit would do well to do things like get rid of old.reddit, go after ad blockers, and maybe implement a “verified” fee program like Xwitter to boost their stock potential. And also ensure I’ll never return.

But according to Putin Russia is an awesome place. How could they need assistance with military hardware from Iran?
