Quick Hits: The CDC Wants to Rap With You About Having Diarrhea in a Pool Edition

The Karen Complex: people who are more concerned about Covid-19 than the average person are generally more bossy and judgmental about other people's decisions.

Between March and May 2020, over 900 study participants in the U.S. were presented with a series of scenarios and asked to rate them on a scale from 'not at all wrong' to 'extremely wrong'. This enabled the researchers to measure participants' responses across five key moral principles: harm, fairness, in-group loyalty, deference to authority, and purity.

Example scenarios include one of loyalty: 'You see a man leaving his family business to go work for their main competitor'; and one of fairness: 'You see a tenant bribing a landlord to be the first to get their apartment repainted.'

People who were more worried about catching COVID-19 judged the behaviors in these scenarios to be more wrong than those who were less worried.

"There is no rational reason to be more judgemental of others because you are worrying about getting sick during the pandemic," said Professor Simone Schnall in the University of Cambridge's Department of Psychology, senior author of the report.

ABCNews reports that social media site Pinterest has made a "powerful" decision to no longer run any ads for weight control, and will promote "body neutrality" -- the idea that no person's body, no matter how obviously fit or obviously unhealthy, is any better or worse than anyone else's.

So they're going to champion content that celebrates body neutrality, which means "working with Pinterest creators, such as plus-size models and social media personalities, including Tabria Majors, Shiquita Hyman, Tiffany Ima and Alex Michael May."

This is a few days old, but it's great. The "Biden" Administration has let states do whatever they want with alleged covid relief money, because, let's face it, it's just a disguised bailout for blue states.

But Texas has decided they will use some of the money to build the border wall tht Biden won't fund.

Oh, I love that area no doubt. But I think the draw for her post-college graduation was the lazy days and nightly bonfires and getting shit-faced. She was in that brief post academia "find your self" mode. All that was also the reason she eventually left and I snagged my fine lady up.

So her one sticking point is some of the tribal culture and really specifically her old clique of friends and I think I can get by all that and still get the OK we both know and love.

And to be frank. . .I believe they're absolutely right. Change my mind.

Yes.

The problem, I'm going to guess, is parents who want to get their kids out of a hot house (or, more likely, apartment) and the public pool is the closest place to cool down that isn't super expensive. So they let little Timmy go swimming while he's still getting over being sick, and that's how other kids get sick.

92 Actually, it may seem kind of funny - but this is deadly serious shit (har). I'm actually a certified pool and spa technician (don't ask).

One of the horrors of swimming pools is kids (and some adults). There's bacteria and parasites that no amount of chlorine will kill - like cryptosporidium. For those who work with public swimming pools, this is a freaking nightmare. And of course, idiot parents take their babies into the pool, and the babies shit in the pool. Then what (if you're aware of it?). You have to drain the GD pool, and sterilize the plaster/tile. No kidding. You do NOT want to take in a mouthful of water - I'll let you DDG the results.

95 There's another reference photo search engine that allows you to browse every ethnic makeup EXCEPT Caucasian.

If you look up something like "redhead" (not that I would know), you just get a mix of mostly people who expressly do not have red hair. But you can look up any type such as "Asian" and get only Asians.

Very useful world we are being dragged into. They're apparently "coming" for us.

100 Liz Cheney appears to be pretty stupid. And no I don't go for these elaborate excuses and explanations that always rely on the deviousness or lack of sincerity of people saying stupid s**t.

The constitution was pretty clearly shredded in PA, and probably a few other states, where the election was conducted other than the way the legislatures had directed (via existing law).

A few dozen idiots (still waiting to see their political resumes, if any) attacking police at a government property to disrupt a process are no threat to the constitution, obviously. They're just taken away, and the process continues. Duh.

For the first time I can think of, in my own head I referred to the government as the regime.

Context:
'Opponents of the Dems are now not just treated as critics, but rather as enemies of the regime and of the state.'

This seems significant to me. As worried and as serious as we are taking this, I do not think we are worried or deadly serious enough.

134 Scariest thing I ever saw on a lake.

Years ago, we were at a friend's cabin on Lake Lanier outside Atlanta. We were sitting on his dock sipping adult beverages and watched a pair of ducks land in the cove. Suddenly, something from below grabbed the female, pulled her under, and that was that. The male duck freaked out and flew in circles around the cove for a while before flying away.

Our friend told us there were huge alligator turtles in the lake. I never swam in the cove again.

They are, it did. Just don't. It's been some time since I took the last test, I can't remember the typical percentage of urine in a regular public pool (the type kids are allowed in) but I can tell you this much. Usually the guys that are technicians for condos/townhomes are diligent on testing, but it's also why you can smell the chlorine a mile away. Most of the higher end pools (ie casinos) use protein skimmers/ozone/ultraviolet to treat the water in addition to chlorine, to keep the smell down especially indoors.

But the public water park type places? Stay far, far away.

So you're looking for a picture of ladybugs and the first 15bajillion are all pinterest and they won't show you anything, blocking your view with a nag banner. Their recipe website is the same.

Seriously? Since the start of the pandemic the MSM, social media and government have been amping up the anxiety to "11". As part of that, they have been demonizing Those Who Do Not Comply with whatever directive they've issued - staying at home, wearing masks outdoor, not socially distancing, not working out, etc..

The people most scared of covid = those most influenced by government/MSM/social media propaganda

These are the people who were best trained by government/MSM/social media **to judge others** on ther compliance with the latest outed 'safety' measures.

176 Junkie Hunter Biden is corruptly selling "art" he made to the Chinese government for millions of dollars. The White House has a solution! Their idea is that when the money launderer (art gallery) receives the corruption payment, they give Hunter the cash and- this is entirely serious - they don't tell him who the money is from.

That's their big idea. Don't ask, don't tell. "Hunter doesn't have a phone, so the bad guys will never be able to reach him!"

These people are just so fucking stupid. And they think everyone is drinking the same Brawndo they are.

186 "suppress the vote"?

The actions/inaction of the GOP are the only thing suppressing their potential vote.

Their "platform", again, has returned to nothing at all: "hey, you can't vote for THOSE guys!!". Of course the derailment of the Dems into crude racist-authoritarian clowns helps this pitch.

Other day I even saw a perfect, perfect example of this empty GOP tactic online. Not an elected official, but a big booster/commentator. She unwittingly parodied the GOP's empty/you have no choice mode, by saying the Dems have only X, Y and Z (all stupid divisive current hobby horses) to offer.

Only message of the pitch was actually perfect and revealing: YOU CAN'T VOTE FOR THAT SIDE!! Not a hint of a nod towards any actual issues or goals or commitments the GOP was going to pursue.

188 The neighborhood temperature thing isn't complete idiocy. The issue isn't that the sun is racist, but that poorer neighborhoods are often located in places which get warmer during the day, and are more likely to be built of heat absorbing / radiating materials. A poor neighborhood of asphalt, concrete, and brick apartment buildings located close to downtown and with few trees is going to get hotter than the wealthier neighborhood of single family homes near a river, or on a hill with a steady breeze, and covered in trees.

189 I just can't get over how the GOP is just entirely missing in action. From the treatment of these "Insurrectionists" to vaccine auditors to Pelosi going national with the Capitol Police, these are slam dunk issues to the base and the GOP is on complete radio silence.

I'm convinced they really do think Trump was an aberration and, when election time rolls around, we will realize there's nowhere else to go, we can't afford to give the left a free hand and will, with reluctance, pull the lever for the grifting cowards again.

And to be frank. . .I believe they're absolutely right. Change my mind.
Posted by: Mary Poppins' Practically Perfect Piercing at July 08, 2021 12:27 PM (2JVJo)


The Ohio GOP is pulling something underhanded by pretending that the base is happy with DeWine and concentrating only on RINO Portman's vacated Senate seat. All Trump has to do is hold one rally for JD Vance, or another outsider, and indicate dissatisfaction with DeWine and the repuke house of cards comes tumbling down.

I believe this is part of a new campaign the Progs are starting, to counteract "lookism." I've been seeing some opinion pieces, by the Usual Suspects, denouncing lookism: discriminating against people you consider ugly or whose looks you dislike for any reason.

220 Trees and leafy green plants make a big difference in the neighborhood temperatures. NatGeo had an article thirty years ago which showed an infrared picture of Salt Lake City's city hall in summertime and the surrounding neighborhood which clearly demonstrated this.

221 Oh, quick story - my ex just HAD to have a pool at our new house, and of course she got her way. Laminar jets and everything. She had grand visions of all the nieces and nephews and yada yada coming over and having wonderful pool parties every weekend in summer time.

Well, it turns out that 1) all the kids do is run around and break shit and 2) they much, MUCH preferred the spa that was attached to the pool. So a dozen of the little shits would pile into it as a great big pool sat vacant. Where this is going is I had an ozone system hooked to the spa, so there wasn't chlorine (which is a bitch with 107 degree water). So? Well, when the little bastards piss, it's instantly oxidized. That means foam. Lots of foam. They'd get in, and about 15 minutes later it looked like a fucking filthy bubble bath.

The dead, ossified networks and inertia in so many places mean that change is just about impossible (i.e., dumping useless GOP types to try something at least potentially promising).

My partner (a partner partner, not a "partner") is more of a germophobe than I am. Which makes eating out more interesting than usual. He can quote all kinds of facts that are great if you're in a dieting mood. One of them was (as I was reaching for a little pillow mint leaving the restaurant) the proximity of the restrooms to things like open food, and the amount of urine that's airborne and reaching said food. The government has unlimited sources to site if they want to scare people. From the bacteria present on your tile grout in the kitchen compared to the seat of your toilet to Javier not washing his hands for 17 seconds before he rolls your burrito.

The Michael Mann crowd actually did this. They tossed out all but one of the 165 or so weather stations in Northern Canada, keeping only the warmest one (which was considerably warmer than the others), and they also tossed out all of Peru's or Bolivia's weather stations since they weren't giving hot enough readings due to the high altitudes.

And of course, quite a few weather stations were located near air conditioner heat transfers, asphalt parking lots, the top of buildings that had asphalt-tiled roofs, etc. These were used as official, trusted sources.

It was quite a fight that Judith Curry and others like her had to fight to get rid of the systemic errors that the opposition was eager to introduce.

336 You've read that book, too? It really provides an insight into the leftist mind doesn't it? It's of a piece with the movie "Gabriel Over The White House."

I first read it years ago and found the concept fascinating, though Bellamy really never explained how the economic transition in the world of 2000 happened; he made it sound as though all capitalists just woke up one morning and decided to create a socialist society.

He wrote a sequel, Equality, attempting to expand on the ideas in Looking Backward, but even for Bellamy, it's an unreadable slog. I've never gotten more than two chapters in.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but there's poop ERRYWHERE. IIRC the CDC determined that something like only 14% of people were washing their hands with soap* after the big push to get mail in voting. Sorry, protect people from COVID.



* I'll say again that the COVID is mainly fecal-oral, and I suspect restaurant sanitation and handwashing requirements are what prevents the illegals and teenagers from spreading it. Because it doesn't make sense why they're not being constantly shut down as superspreader central otherwise.

412 The mystery of Idaho voters.

I'm now looking into individual states, and ran across a curious number in Idaho.

From 2016 to 2020, Trump increased the number of votes he received by 145K. Meanwhile, Biden increased the D vote by 97K.

However, when you dig into the registration data, turns out that R registered voters increased by 190K, and D registered voters by 97K.

I can't see people registering as R after Trump was elected, then not voting for Trump, which means that about 100K of 2016 Trump voters had to vote for Biden instead, to negate that extra 45K of party advantage.

Roughly half of the Ind voters that voted for Trump in 2016 would have had to abandon him in 2020 and vote for Biden to make this math work. And this assumes that Biden got 100% of the Dem vote.

The other option is that some people will have to change the world view they have built for themselves, and when you are based on a house a cards, pulling one will lead to an existential crisis or complete breakdown. So you justify it away. "Satire" or "They are just going to a camp to be safe."

And then another data scientist took the initial data, broke it down by county, and added the racial makeup of the people in each county.

Turns out the fatties weren't Cletus and Ellen Sue but Leroy and Taquisha. And suddenly it wasn't funny to laugh at fat Americans any more.

Yes; he plotted to kill Hitler. But, my point is this... Hitler was doing what the Prussian military caste wanted. Putting down the Jew, the laborer, and the merchant, elevating the martial principles and the fortunes of the Army, and placing Germany in it's rightful role as the dominator of Europe.

But when it came down to the dirty business of actually executing "Extreme Makeover: Global Geopolitics Edition," they'd get all queasy. Stauffenberg got queasier than most, but they all begged for it.

485 Thae politics of the 20s and early 30s in Germany were complex. The NAZIs originally wanted to replace the Army with the SA. The deal that put Hitler in power, is why he ended up killing his former ally Rohm and working with the military.
But the military thought Hitler was a clown and had no idea what he was doing. And Hitler thought they were old fashioned elites that were standing in the way of progress.

The war forced Hitler and the Army to work together, but outside of Hitler's own men like Goring there was always friction between the two sides.

Avoid swimming, jogging first week after COVID jabs, housework safe: MOH

The new advisory comes as the ministry announced that they were investigating an incident involving a 16-year-old boy who suffered a cardiac arrest after lifting weights six days into receiving his first dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine.
Prior to his collapse on Saturday, the boy had been training with weights that were above his body weight, according to the MOH. He is currently hospitalised at the National University Hospital (NUH), where he remains in critical condition at its intensive care unit.
As of 30 June, there have been 12 reports of myocarditis and pericarditis occurring in individuals following their vaccinations with mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, according to the Health Sciences Authority's (HSA) third COVID-19 vaccine safety update released on Monday.
Five of the cases occurred in adults aged 30 years old and above.
The remaining seven involved males aged below 30 years old, higher than expected for the particular age group, based on background incidence rates.

Röhm, Streicher, and the Strassers certainly wanted the SA to absorb the Army, and it could have. But they all ended up dead or expurgated.

Because Hitler always recognized that it would have to go the exact opposite way. He knew the need to bring the military and the Junkers into the Nazi fold, when his face-bashers couldn't see it. So they had to go. And the Army grew by several hundred thousand men under arms virtually overnight, and became vastly richer and more prestigious, and he purged all the reluctant General Staff.

And so they became thoroughly Nazified. The Big Guy left the mechanics of the Holocaust to the secret police bringing up the rear when the war came. But every one of those Prussian martinets in grey knew precisely what the score was by then.

537 I think I might have found a metric that has value.

Keep in mind, I'm working from raw voter registration numbers and raw vote totals. I don't know how many of each party voted for whom. That information isn't available.

I'm calling the metric "Party Performance". What percentage of votes did a party get beyond their registration numbers? There are two unknowns that contribute, how many in the party didn't vote, and how many of the other party or independents voted for the candidate. But it might be a useful metric to show places where something fishy was going on.

In Florida the GOP overperformed its registration number by 7.94% and the Dems under performed by -0.36%. Those numbers feel normal.

In Idaho the GOP overperformed by 12%

The Dems in Idaho? *55.58%*

538 Because Hitler always recognized that it would have to go the exact opposite way. He knew the need to bring the military and the Junkers into the Nazi fold, when his face-bashers couldn't see it.

Axing the SA was the price demanded by the military and the industrialists for supporting Hitler. The SA - Roehm's baby - was characterized by its fervor to absorb the military, and to impose socialism on the industrialists. Both groups had seen how their doppelgaengers in Russia had fared under the system Roehm wanted to impose.

539 I'm surprised nothing here yet on the people who will be going door to door to find out if someone has been "vaccinated".

Biden mentioned it and then Psaki said so in a press conference.

I've also seen something about Bercerra (HHS Sec) saying that the "government has a right to know" whether someone is vaccinated because the Government has spent so much money on protecting the taxpayer. First time I've ever heard of a Gov Official concerned about the Taxpayer getting their money's worth.

We'll see more of this as they already do dictate how things are done and what your health care choices will be because they're (the taxpayers) are paying for it. And that's how gov't controls your rights because when you let them pay for it (or have to) then you give up your choices.

But that's not the question here. "The Army didn't know!" was always a silly argument, if you didn't know it is because you didn't want to by the end of the war. The opposition to Hitler in the Army by the likes of Stauffenberg or Tresckow was preciously because they did learn about it.

The question is whether the German Junker class were driving National Socialist genocidal policies - would a Fuhrer Guderian, Rommel, etc have built death camps for Jews, the disabled, etc, worked to take over the churches, etc?

They would have suppressed all disfavored classes by law. They would have looted the country. They would have pursued their dreams of military supremacy across a third of the known world.

The Holocaust itself? No, probably not. But they also lacked Hitler's vision and could have accomplished precisely none of that without him. And that came as part of part of that Devil's bargain, and he didn't hide it.

They asked for him, and they got him. Their displeasure with him had very little to do with Nazism in general. Just the whole "inevitable defeat" aspect of his strategy. They could cloak it in all the moralistic bullshit they wanted, but the objection was never really about that. It was about losing. Up to the point of failure, with few exceptions, they supported him.
