A THREAD: The research, study, or theory that bona fide human treatment, medicine, or vitamins would not hurt, and may indeed help fight COVID-19, followed by the resulting reaction from media and government. We start with...

UV light treatment vs. "Drinking/injecting bleach."
Hydroxychloroquine vs. "Fish tank cleaner." (Conflating hydroxychloroquine with chloroquine phosphate, a completely different chemical compound.)
Ivermectin vs. "Horse dewormer." The media took this false narrative to such a frenzy, conflating Nobel Prize-winning, prescribed, human ivermectin with veterinarian-grade medication that the U.S. FDA even jumped aboard the mockery.
Vitamin D vs. "Side effects" warnings. Yes, too much vitamin D (or any other vitamin for that matter) causes side effects. We've known this forever. Seems an odd time for this sudden warning when so many are also deficient, putting them at risk.
Aspirin vs. "Breaking new study warns people to no longer take it as preventive medicine." This was that "Settled Science" we heard about for decades. And just as new research shows it could fight COVID-19, different research says not to take it anymore.

Welp, you voted for it. Here goes a thread on olives for all you preppers and prepperettes! Reply below with your stupid AMA questions!
Olives! Let's talk about olives! So delicious, but such a stigma about how they arrive from the tree to your table.
First of all, green and black olives are the exact same thing, just in different stages of maturity. If you want green olives, pick 'em early. If you want black olives, pick 'em late.

El Paso is now facilitating sanctuary cities to be sanctuary cities.
The left has shown the only way illegal immigration becomes a discussion point outside of conservative circles is to see those who've entered illegally show up in sanctuary cities and enclaves full of rich leftists.
There are, of course, a number of problems with this. First, it becomes a quick photo op (complete with cheap, off-brand cereal because we don't want to waste it on *these* people), and turns into a media-driven rally point for showing just how caring and magnanimous the left is. ImageImage

Inflation is up to 9.1% this month, and that's *with* a month of gas prices in slight decline. What's it gonna be next month when they go back up?
And yes we most likely will see higher prices at the pump. The Biden administration wants them higher. They've said as much. Their policies of killing oil projects and limiting production show this. Diesel is still near all-time highs. That's going to continue to affect shipping.
We've seen farmer protests around the world. That affects supply — not instantly, but after a while. It's getting more expensive to ship goods, which will again affect prices. Nothing is being done to alleviate this, which means we've just seen the tip of the inflationary cycle.

I've been stuck at 19.4K followers for a long while now, no matter how many follows I get. Once in a great while it'll hit 19.5 followed by a quick purge. One of the more interesting tests for new Elon Musk Twitter is when/if that stagnation will change.
My hunch was that 20K had some sort of significance for accounts, thus the throttling.
Of course, I could lose a bunch initially if there's a real bot purge. That's something that needs to happen too.

That background check and waiting period just to buy a new assaultwater pole is ridiculous!
At least you can skip the waiting period when buying a fly fishing rig. Just don't have a buddy try to purchase one for you if you can't get one yourself!
And California still requires identification for purchasing lures and hooks! But hey, the Constitution was written for bass fishing, not for all-you-can-catch ocean tuna fishing! "Tuna" isn't even in the Constitution!

If these measures were put into a single bill by themselves, @PressSec Psaki could prove these 31 Republican senators voted against Ukrainian aid rather than wanting to aid them, but not being able use that as justification for voting for $1,500,000,000 worth of additional pork.
Democrats know Republicans will vote for Ukrainian aid as a single issue item. They also know many won't when the small amount of aid is stuffed into a gigantic trillion-dollar, pork-laden mega-bill. If the Ukrainian aid was that important to Democrats, they could have passed it.
But hey, why not use a token of support for the "good guys" fighting "evil Russia" as a sledgehammer to wield against one's political enemies at home, rather than coming to an agreement with your countrymen who you call terrorists and Nazis?
