sourceNo it isnāt. This person is incredibly misinformed and hysterical. Monkey pox has existed since at least the 1970s when it was first discovered. > Atypical to what has generally been seen in monkeypox cases in the 11 African nations where the virus has become endemic since it was first discovered in humans in 1970, people contracting monkeypox during this outbreak often have their initial development of lesions in the anorectal or genitals If youāre a gay man you should take extra precautions at the moment, as 99% of cases are men who sleep with other men. > āThe finding that 95% of cases may have been transmitted during sex provides reassurance that this outbreak is primarily caused by very close contact and may explain why itās been largely limited, so far, to dense social networks of men who have sex with men,ā said Dr. Jay K. Varma, an infectious disease expert at Weill Cornell Medicine. > āThese data point clearly to the fact that infections are so far almost exclusively occurring among men who have sex with men,ā said Jennifer Nuzzo, an epidemiologist at Brown University, of the new study, which was published Thursday in the New England Journal of Medicine. āAnd the clinical presentation of these infections suggest that sexual transmission, not just close physical contact, may be helping spread the virus among this population.ā There are an estimated ~ 20k cases worldwide, with 5 deaths. There were 241 million cases of malaria last year and over 600ā000 deaths. There were nearly 130ā000 new lepresy cases last year, a disease with more dramatic effects than OPs description of monkey pox. Honestly it requires a post covid hyper sensitivity paired with a fundamental lack of knowledge of epidemiology to believe the sheer nonsense OP has posted.

sourceJust because it isn't causing death doesn't mean it isn't serious. The disease causes extremely painful lesions externally and (scarily enough), internally, including on the genitals, in the anus, and in the mouth / esophagus. The lesions disrupt bodily functions (ie eating and pooping) which can lead to very serious complications. Once these (again, VERY painful sores) have healed, they can cause scar tissue which can only be removed surgically. Edit: Adding new data from San Francisco & endemic nature of the disease. The virus has been found in the wastewater of San Fran. The sewers are full of rats. They will continue the spread and it's highly contagious---it is now endemic. Too many people are looking at death rate and not the long-term, very serious implications.

sourceWhile it would be nice to have it absolutely isn't needed for an NFT divvy. LRC does the heavy lifting. The merge should increase L1 throughput and therefore hopefully reduce gas fees. L2 (LRC) gas fees and throughput rate are already fantastic. Personally my favourite merge benefit is the environmental impact of moving to PoS. GME's indirect environmental impact will be reduced.

sourceYah but what if I just make an NFT of that NFT of the diamond, in case the first NFT gets destroyed in the fire? *taps forehead*
GusBus-upside-in-22 - 35 upvotes -
sourceYou need to stop thinking ājpegsā because I agree that NFT art is pretty dumb for 99% of things outside digital trading cards (Magic the gathering, PokĆ©mon, hearthstone, etc.). Itās mostly for authenticity while removing middle men. Ticket sales can be peer to peer without the hassle of middle men like Ticketmaster manipulating prices and final cost. Plus the ticket remains like a digital souvenir after the event. There can be real life stuff, such as designer clothes and brands having scannable NFT with the real purchase. This is like a digital receipt and proves authentic goods are not bootlegs. Again itās more about creative freedom at this point. Itās a platform and we canāt imagine whatās possible until itās created.

sourceNothing is being left to chance or relying on a FTD cycle. And this comment doesn't take into account any of the other numerous options RC and GME have at their disposal (ie, a NFT divy or even a further share Splivy). But if the theory that Apes own more shares in their brokerage accounts than what's on the issuer's books holds and they are due shares that can't currently be delivered, these should show up then and the pressure will continue to build for any Market Participant that doesn't have the shares to cover their obligations. This is RC applying direct pressure to anyone 'fucking around' at the moment but the way markets are structured today....there is always a delay on the 'find out' portion of the equation. The fact that there are sooo many other possible catalysts in play is just icing on the cake. At any time some straw could drop to force increased pressure to the point of breaking the camel's back. The current dividend is already in play and that pressure is building. This is the biggest game of chicken we will likely ever see play out, and retail ain't blinking....

Pelosi is another popular topic. Here's what they're saying:
Syndur - 137 upvotes -
sourceI wish more people knew this. The American "left" (liberals, neoliberals, centrists) will ALWAYS side with conservatives over the actual left in the US. Examples: * Pelosi endorsed a far right dem Henry Cuellar over progressive candidate Jessica Cisneros. Cuellar voted 60+% of the time with orange guy, backed by NRA, and always voted against abortion rights (you know, the abortion rights Pelosi immediately asked donations for after the ruling?). Cuellar won by around a thousand or a few thousand votes. * Ohio - both liberals and conservatives pooled their millions together to support liberal centrist Shontelle Brown over progressive Nina Turner. Brown won. * Nevada - progressives sweeped the liberals by winning 5 seats that were held by the liberals. Did the liberals leave gracefully? [Fuck no. They pulled about half a million of funding from the party, all employees quit, all consulting contracts severed](https://theintercept.com/2021/03/08/deconstructed-nevada-democrats-progressives-vs-establishment/). Liberals vs conservatives is a facade. As the great George Carlin once said, "It's a big club, and you ain't in it."

sourceThey regularly buy leaps and exercise them if conditions are right, that's literally how they enter stock positions. Why? Because they can open up multiple leap positions across various stocks and cherry pick which one to exercise based on what coincides with whatever legislation pelosi has insider info on. You're oblivious to one of their primary trading strategies and it's kind of making you look like an idiot.

sourceDid you ever hear the tragedy of Darth JPOW The Wise? I thought not. It's not a story the Motley Fool would tell you. It's a š³ļøāšš»legend. Darth JPOW was a Dark Lord of the FED, so gay and such a bear he could use his money printer to influence the economy to create inflation.. He had such a knowledge of the economy that he could even keep stonk prices from falling. The dark side of the economy is a pathway to many abilities some consider to beā¦.. transitory. He became so powerful. the only thing he was afraid of was losing his tendies, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught Nancy Pelosi everything he knew, then she sold at the top. Ironic. He could save others from market corrections, but not himself.
RiseUpAgainstThem - 22 upvotes -
sourceMy problem with the "redpilled" pundits is that they too only react to the big MSM stories of the week, and their comments are still based on the twisted premise and misconceptions of the MSM narrative. For GME you know it's the usual crap that retail gambers tArGeTeD hedgefunds. Brand reads the news and reacts, then move to the next thing when MSM does. Which means we're still in the MSM bubble, working with the wrong facts, adding to the noise and weekly opinion overkill. MSM still call the shots and I'm sure he's already doing Pelosi right now like everyone does. their business depends too much on the 24h news media machine, and amplifies their overall misconceptions by validating them with commentary.

sourceFor about an hour the FOMC reversal looked to be on track. As of about 10:30 - recession canceled I guess. To me, this market is completely detached from reality right now, possibly more than it has been in the last 25 years or more. The goalposts have been moved so incredibly much by the policy criminals in charge that weāre just business as usual heading directly into a brick wall at Mach 10. Itās truly unbelievable to see.
