the pacific ring of fire is very active right now. earthquakes. volcanoes. there's every reason to think it's just about to explode. i'd stay away from it if you can...

that's the area up the west coast, around alaska and down the east coast of asia, through japan and indonesia.

i know i came off as unbelievably nerdy sometimes, but i did a project on plate tectonics in high school...

we know the ring of fire is connected. when stuff starts to move in one place, the whole thing shifts. an earthquake in alaska could erupt a volcano in japan, sort of thing (which appears to have just happened).

but there's been some very deep earthquakes and some volcanic activity recently in some dead volcanoes, indicating that the activity is pretty substantial and could produce some very large shocks - both in terms of the ground moving and in terms of volcanoes coming up. so, not a good place to be right now...

not only is that a bad tackle, it's an illegal tackle. way too high. that's 15 yards...

this is fake, that dog's been trained. even if it was used to having the door closed when it appeared at it, it would have pawed.

that's what the treat on the floor is for...

xwinger15
are you an alien?

deathtokoalas
hard to say. sort of, but it's not quite the language i'd use.

It seems the dog has been trained. Not for playing fake door, I think. But for it to wait until someone give permission to enter the house.

deathtokoalas
it was given permission to enter the house - it's being called. the little spin around stuff indicates there's more than that going on.

dogs do tend to spin around like that and look up towards the handle when somebody comes to the door. but i remain convinced this is not spontaneous, and rather the result of weeks of training.

If you look closely at 1:02 you can clearly see Illuminati trying to communicate to doggy.

deathtokoalas
dogs are pretty smart. this wouldn't be difficult...

Zakk
Mmmmm yes I saw that. Good eye...maybe to good...ILLUMINATI!

RedcapCreations
Holy crap your profile picture scares me! D: Looks like you were half way through an exorcism! D: D: D:

deathtokoalas
i was a little hungover, and not drinking nearly enough for it to be an exorcism...

The dog was trained to ignore the command to come?

deathtokoalas
until he waved his wand, yeah.

it didn't go to the person calling, it picked up the treat and walked off.

IRRUMINATI HAS TRAINED DOGS

deathtokoalas
if this was an illuminati dog, it would have triangulated rather than circled.

Cheesy Ben
ze irruminati is everywhere

deathtokoalas
perhaps, but it is easy to identify. this dog can't even talk, it's clearly not possessed...

again: that's obviously a syrian military installation...

who are these people, and why should i care?

this is a different angle i hadn't previously heard articulated, but it's a good reminder about class. but, you'll note that the israelis were more interested in dumping the chicken in gaza than in using gaza to produce the chicken. that's simply not a system of apartheid. reducing crop yields like that isn't about competition, either, it's about starvation.

i think the reason people have such a hard time understanding that the israeli policy is extermination is due to how ghastly it is. even with so much evidence directly in front of so many experts, few seem to be willing to take that leap and see it for what it really is.

i've been pushing this point for a while - what's happening there is a slow motion genocide, and there are time frames involved in stopping it that are starting to run out.

i'm not going to suggest that he doesn't get it because his statements suggest he clearly does, but there seems to be a level of cognitive dissonance and sort of wilful blindness in how he's interpreting the situation. he clearly realizes that we're in a fight with the bacteria, but he seems to want to think it's a fight we can win.

the bacteria is going to evolve. the question is how fast it's going to evolve. there's a sort of logical error attached to the idea that more antibiotic use creates more resistant bacteria. in fact, the mutations are going to be random. reducing use certainly isn't going to stop the bacteria from evolving altogether, and it's really questionable that it's going to reduce it's rate of evolution. it's about random mutations, not lamarckian adjustments. i'm not accusing him of lamarckianism exactly (and somebody will throw the epigenetics at me, anyways), but the point is valid - it's not really established that reducing use is actually going to help.

now, how do you create antibiotics for bacteria that hasn't evolved to be resistant yet? it's impossible.

fighting bacteria is a dynamic problem, and we're going to have to constantly adjust for it for....ever, basically. the bacteria will win a few rounds, too. such is life in a constantly changing, evolutionary system.

i'll say this, though: i'd rather see a war against bacteria than a war against drugs (eek.) or a war against terrorism.
