  1. nothing like this at all vancouver island. in public places, everyone has a mask, all the time, even street people.
  2. great game, did not think they could do it. clearly were coasting a bit the last while.
  3. i was wrong. looks like they were coasting thenlast while.
  4. 😂 republican recount flags ballot as suspicious: "At one point, I overheard some volunteers excitedly discussing a stain on a ballot. “It looks like a Cheeto finger,” one said. “Like someone’s touched it with cheese dust!” That had to be suspicious, their teammate agreed. Why would someone come to the polls with cheese powder on their hands?"" idiocracy.
  5. Democracy now amy goodman, who is jewish seems to hate Israel. I was a fan, listened tomher for years. not once did I hear a positive comment on her show concerning israel. Her approach to the USA is the same. one twentynyear long whine fest. anyway, I read the article, he said this: "Yeah. We tried to make a nuanced point there, because often if you make that point, Israel will say, “How dare you compare these two realities? We don’t have laws that say that Palestinians and Israelis cannot sit on the same benches,” for instance. And indeed we don’t. But that’s why the distinction was made there between petty apartheid and grand apartheid" never heard of petty apartheid, and grand apartheid before. I have limited knowledge, but I will guess that israeli arabs, and christians, have more right than arabs in gaza, and probably most other middle eastern countries. specially women. https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/myths-and-facts-human-rights-in-israel-and-the-territories#a example. "The Saudi Arabian Mutaween (Arabic: مطوعين‎), or Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice (i.e., the religious police) prohibits the practice of any religion other than Islam.[8] Conversion of a Muslim to another religion is considered apostasy,[8] a crime punishable by death if the accused does not recant. " as far as israel bombing civilians, which I loath, seems to be a a ok in this world. and blue2004 always with the useful additions. look,forward to more enlightenment from him.
  6. Copp looked very good and scored quite a bit last while....
  7. wpg sports talk hustler Winnipeg Jets head coach Paul Maurice confirms that Nikolaj Ehlers and Pierre-Luc Dubois will not play tonight. Andrew Copp is in after practicing the last few days in a non contact jersey. Here are the projected lines via Murat Ates Connor-Scheifele-Wheeler Copp-Stastny-Vesalainen Perreault-Lowry-Appleton Toninato-Thompson-Lewis Morrissey-DeMelo Forbort-Pionk Stanley-Poolman Hellebuyck Brossoit
  8. George Takei "If I didn’t know any better, I would say Marjorie Taylor Greene has feelings for AOC that she can’t express in a healthy way." makes sense to me.
  9. good of you to volunteer as an interpreter for us slow folk, thanks. yeah the ones where they looked like dog poop. always good to have a ten game losing streak just before playoffs, right? and the players that couldnt score seemed quite relaxed about. right? and the defnsive blunders, two on ones, breakaways.... nothing to worry about there. what me worry. remind me again the jets oilers series record this season, and kindly explain how things will change. or did the jets not want to win those games either? its fine to be hopeful, but silly to ignore reality.
  10. jets played a few games before tonight, you missed them I see. oh, forgot, going to flip the switch! always good to go with sarcasm right? anyway its allmgood,for you since you were an oilers fan a few years ago, then somehow became jets fan, and most recently a jets/oilers fan, self proclaimed. cant lose this series!
  11. so, we are our own bottleneck. was just reading wiki about bottlenecks genetic analysis of Alu sequences across the entire human genome has shown that the effective human population size was less than 26,000 at 1.2 million years ago; possible explanations for the low population size of human ancestors may include repeated population bottlenecks or periodic replacement events from competing Homo subspecies.[45]
  12. agree, probably worked when there were hundreds of thousands, or a few million people on the planet armed with bows and arrows. cant seem to evolve past this.
  13. watched a few other games. its just a casual impression, but other playoff teams seem to be more determined than the jets.
  14. the Serbians and some other group, still have genuine anger over a battle that occurred in the fifteenth century. course some christians have hated jews for christ death, 2021 years. 😂 maybe theres an older grudge, something between neanderthals and humans? homo sapiens.....
  15. 😂
  16. I guess us politics is the right thread: "Across two studies (N = 1,017), we assess participants’ ability to produce satisfying and seemingly accurate bullshit as an honest signal of their intelligence. We find that bullshit ability is associated with an individual’s intelligence and individuals capable of producing more satisfying bullshit are judged by second-hand observers to be more intelligent. We interpret these results as adding evidence for intelligence being geared towards the navigation of social systems. The ability to produce satisfying bullshit may serve to assist individuals in negotiating their social world, both as an energetically efficient strategy for impressing others and as an honest signal of intelligence." https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/14747049211000317
  17. not sure what race based means, anyway, israel should stop taking land and homes from palestians west and gaza. give back the land taken in the last number of years. and hamas should stop firing rockets at israel.
  18. for anyone interested in the never discussed or known other side of ethnic cleansing in the middle east. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_exodus_from_Arab_and_Muslim_countries
  19. this is wrong, the jews had to scrounge for their military equipment, and did not get anything from britain. ethnic cleansing. nope. after declaration of state of israel jews were thrown out of every country in the middle east.
  20. I disagree with this. Jews and Christians were strictly second class under muslim rule. sometimes tolerated, sometimes elevaated, and sometimes murdered. the infamous yellow star came into being under Islam. there were some periods under some rulers when Jews were safe, and there also periodic pogroms. as far as recent history, thirties, ww2 head of Palestinian arabs was anti semite. "On March 31, 1933, within weeks of Hitler's rise to power in Germany, al-Husseini sent a telegram to Berlin addressed to the German Consul-General in the British Mandate of Palestine saying that Muslims in Palestine and elsewhere looked forward to spreading their ideology in the Middle East. Al-Husseini secretly met the German Consul-General near the Dead Sea in 1933 and expressed his approval of the anti-Jewish boycott in Germany and asked him not to send any Jews to Palestine. Later that year, the Mufti's assistants approached Wolff,[who?] seeking his help in establishing an Arab National Socialist party in Palestine. Reports reaching the foreign offices in Berlin showed high levels of Arab admiration of Hitler.[145]"
  21. re israel gaza strip.... both sides......corrupt politicians, and intolerant, violent religious fanatics are driving this awful mess. the extremist jews are violent, racist, sexist people, and the gaza strip hamas leaders are just as bad. a bunch of terrorists. neither sides leaders care about their own citizens. side note, netanyahu's brother led the Raid on entebbe and was killed there. may explain netanyahu's apparent hatred to some extent.
  22. so.... how do the jets stop mcdavid?
  23. heard of this before. just following orders.
  24. wild beat golden knights 1 to 0 ot deflection of D man skate goal. minneapolis needs sports hope. hfboards jets is also full of Jets negativity. to the point of being a boring site unfortunately.
  25. correct phrase is "worser" 😂
