racocn8 comments on Aug 27, 2021:

It is really a profound moral dilemma as to whether to encourage people to get vaccinated to save their lives (and lives of others) or to accept the benefit of removing people who are a handicap to the rest of society. Also, 1-2% is a very low mortality for such people. To be clear, if the shoe was on the other foot, we all know how compassionate the anti-vax types are; no moral ambiguity for them.

A new anti-depressant eliminated intimacy. The third session of counseling brought her request for divorce. I was only too happy to oblige.

Is catching Covid now better than more vaccine? [bbc.com]

racocn8 comments on Aug 21, 2021:

I have not heard of any attempts to assess the specific damage caused by the spike proteins the body makes after getting vaccinated. Hopefully, the intramuscular injections limits the travel and exposure. Getting an actual Covid infection exposes you to these same spike proteins, but you have no control over how much the virus replicates, where it replicates, nor the amount of spike proteins that can inflame and destroy blood vessels (vasculature). It's true some people seem asymptomatic, but some asymptomatic victims have been found to have significant damage. It is quite likely that a great deal more covid is going around without people knowing it. Vaccinated people could be spreading it without realizing it, just as un-vaccinated people do. We may well be getting boosters, but it is still inadvisable to seek covid out for such a ' booster '.

I am NOT kidding, trying to pull your leg, etc, etc, when I tell this, it IS 110% the Truth.

Anyone here care to contradict the FBI ?

racocn8 comments on Aug 20, 2021:

Given that elements of the FBI facilitated the attempted coup, they can hardly be considered an authoritative source. Please note that the FBI pulled every punch Trump deserved during his tenure, not least of which including the Mueller Report. Note that the FBI is no longer constrained by Trump being president. The FBI is entirely free to indict Trump on the 10 obstruction of justice charges detailed in the first half of Mueller's Report. The FBI also illegally allowed Trump to abuse its offices for political purposes when it contrived investigations into Hunter Biden and into those on Mueller's team that investigated Trump's Russian conspiracy. Again, the corruption observed within the FBI must figure into claims that the U.S. Capitol attack was not coordinated. There is plenty of evidence to the contrary, so such claims further harm the FBI's reputation.

I'll play devil's advocate and say that the mission-creep that devolved into nation-building was doomed from the start. That being said, we could and should have kept enough military there to defend themselves and to keep the Taliban in check. My understanding is that the US had been doing that for the last few years without too many US casualties. We station many more thousands of soldiers in other countries for nothing more than economic aid to said countries. Having a base in Afghanistan would certainly have strategic value, and would show some willingness to stand up against religious psychotics. I'm betting that most of the cited trillions spent were diverted elsewhere, and/or wasted on futile nation building. Again, I believe we should look at Afghanistan as an object lesson against our own situation wherein religious fanatics hope to overturn the government in favor of them getting and keeping power thereafter. Will the US also fold like a cheap suit?
