so, i slept on how to get these live links into the master document.... i only have 36 html files, all dated to the last days of the month...

so, snap out of it. all you've ever gotten from doug ford is a constant stream of steady bullshit, it's all you're getting fro...

you have to wonder. if you could put him in some sort of squeeze device, and just compress his fat ass, would shit come out of his mouth?

if you can send me a link to a press conference where doug ford isn't talking out of his ass, a situation where he isn't blatantly...

he's head bullshitter. we need to wise up, ontario.

every word out of doug ford's mouth is just a steady stream of complete bullshit - just like it has been for years and years. he's...

we have no idea what's going on here at all.

i don't want hope and bullshit. i want facts and data.

so, now i'm running up against what i knew would end up being a major annoyance, and i don't know how i'm going to deal with. ...

i'm making some progress here on this master document finally. i'm starting to come to terms with the reality that i'm going t...

so, no - i don't oppose a ban on guns. but, it won't help... what would help is banning religion, and you can't do that by f...

so, you keep blaming this on guns... the actual problem is religion. you can ban guns all you want, but so long as you still have religi...

we need to look at stuff like this, not bans on weapons: https://www.government.se/49b730/contentassets/87a9c5e22af14395aff3411dbd197f58/p...

and, i would reiterate the point i've been making for a long time now: if you want to get to the causes of gun violence, and actually pu...

i don't really expect that banning guns is going to have much of an effect on the prevalence of violent crime. as is often the case, the...

i don't tend to pick sides in general, and i'm not going to pick sides, now.

you should expect me to be broadly critical of all sides, if the data justifies the criticism. i'm not going to hold back. now, unde...

no, i don't want to pick sides in a nationalist debate between the fascists in china and the capitalists in america. canada's self-i...

i'd rather make an uncoerced choice that is wrong than be a slave and do what i'm told and be right.

so, yes - if there are multiple strains of this virus going around, as appears to be the case, then an antibody test would only be useful in...

if governments want citizens to trust them, they need to stop lying to them as a starting point.

it would be very useful if the various authorities would be more transparent so that people can make more informed decisions based on more r...

if there's multiple viruses, antibody testing would also indeed be unreliable - in the sense that you're only testing for one virus....

i know this is a flurry of information. for me, it's confirming a lot of things i already realized. for you, it could be alarming and co...

it's an open - but important - question as to whether there are differences in mortality associated with these different strains, which ...

to somebody like chrystia freeland, an independent analysis is merely second-guessing and distorting the narrative. the state defines what...

they don't want independent analysis. they want you to obsequiously shut up and do what you're told.

so, i do suspect that the death rate is climbing at a much higher rate than is being reported. and, i do know that they're undertest...

it's not crossing the border the bugs me, exactly - it's the hoarding of resources, the elevation of the self.

if there are 1000 deaths in the city of detroit proper, then a .3% death rate would suggest roughly 50% of people have contracted the virus....
