6Caitlyn Jenner for California Governor
by LoveUniHateExams inremember when caitlyn jenner came out as a trans woman a few years ago?.
it was stunning and brave, i'm sure you'll agree.. well, a good portion of her congratulators are now dreading the prospect of jenner becoming california governor.. you see, jenner is a republican, and has come out and said that trans women competing in women's sports is unfair (which is correct and a breath of fresh air).. so now trans people and their allies are getting ready with the smelling salts in case transwoman caitlyn jenner wins the race.

Chinese Rocket Falling to Earth
by Simon inas if the chinese haven't already done enough to the world recently, they have now let a 22 ton rocket go out of control and start falling to earth.
it's going 18,000 miles an hour and no one knows where it's going to hit but if it isn't water then it might leave a scuff mark.. the good news it is shouldn't be canada, as we're too far north.. the bad news is, well ... are you in canada or the same latitude or more north?.
chances are it will hit the pacific, but it's 2021 and the way things are going it could hit a major population area.. if it does hit anywhere with lots of people, i hope it twats the shit out of beijing..

MMM - that reminded me of the time the news read out prank names after a plane crash.
Obviously a tragic event and not something to joke about, definitely not ... but holy crap, it's funny as fuck!
Play from the 43 second mark

Why did Jehovah Kill all the animals in the flood? What purpose did it serve??
by pistolpete insome of my jw family that is waking up posed that question to my jw family that is still hanging on to jw belief.. the stepbrother that posed that question told me;.
"in all these years of being a jw, i actually never gave it much thought as to why jehovah had to kill millions of innocent animals that had nothing to do with mankind becoming evil.".
i keep picturing in my mind, all the baby puppies and kitties that were destroyed by jehovah.

Fish and birds survived
One of the things that people forget is that many fish wouldn't survive.
Not all fish are the same - some live in salt water, some live in fresh-water, it's hard to keep those separate during a global flood.
Just one of the reasons the flood myth is just a story, not a fact.
And the issue of not everyone being evil (esp. babies and small children) is also why the logistics of armageddon make no sense and can't be reconciled with the concept of a loving god. It doesn't give people a chance, and as the population grows the number of people that it's unfair to keeps increasing.
Again, another reason that bible stories and religious beliefs simply make no sense once you start thinking about the nitty gritty details.

Will You Get Back To Normal After Covid Subsides?
by minimus insome say we will never get back to pre-pandemic days.
others say we should expect to live with masks and social distancing as the “new normal “.
still others are hopeful that we can live life realizing there might never be an end to covid or cancer or influenza but our lives must continue to go on.

Its would fair to say just because Dr. Fauci had a hand in sending grant money to the Virology lab in Wuhan, that doesn't mean he was directly behind in directing the creation of this Coivd virus. Just because you give money to a institution doesn't mean you know exactly whats going on there
But you would have a very direct incentive to promote the idea that they couldn't have anything todo with it, and it had to be another source.
Just one more reason not to listen to Fauci. He's in it for himself and he's demonstrated himself to be more than clueless and wrong on multiple occasions.

On Feb. 19, 2020, public health experts signed a public statement to "strongly condemn conspiracy theories suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin."
Funny that - without evidence and before any investigation (how long into it was Feb 2020?) they can't say what it was but can say what it wasn't.
The fact is that the "evidence" for it being the market was fictitious and planted in various journals, all traceable to the Chinese.
Please don't post any more Chinese state disinformation in future.

Fauci sent funding to the Wuhan lab. He has a vested interest in covering his ass.
I think we should ignore what he says as nothing he has said has been helpful or accurate (not later reversed).
He's in it for himself and profiting quite nicely.

It would be a compelling story to those who had heard of "a / the great flood". Piggy back onto a pre-existing myth and claim "our god did that".
Just like fiction now will weave in real events, like a hero fighting in WWII.
