OT: The News Thread

I don't think any sale could actually go through before the midterms.

as for acceopting reality - there's no way that he doesn't believe what he's saying. He for sure things that the libs are censoring unfairly and that they have built armies of bots to harass conservatives and free thinkers. I have no doubt that he would try to follow through on everything he says.

actually i just want him to take over and aggressively remove all the bots - I would love to be in the meeting where he finally realizes that all his free thinking followers are actually bots.

Fair enough, but I’ve also seen him involved in a whole bunch of exchanges on Ukraine where he is rather fact averse, presumably to avoid backtracking from his idiotic peace plan.
 
oh that reminds me - we should continue to follow up on that whole "pandemic suicide spike" claim now that the data has solidified somewhat.

Here's one using data up to the end of october 2021:

Suicide numbers during the first 9-15 months of the COVID-19 pandemic compared with pre-existing trends: An interrupted time series analysis in 33 countries

Although there are some countries/areas-within-countries where overall suicide numbers and numbers for certain sex- and age-based groups are greater-than-expected, these countries/areas-within-countries are in the minority. Any upward movement in suicide numbers in any place or group is...

"We sourced data from 33 countries (24 high-income, six upper-middle-income, three lower-middle-income; 25 with whole-country data, 12 with data for area(s)-within-the-country, four with both). There was no evidence of greater-than-expected numbers of suicides in the majority of countries/areas-within-countries in any analysis; more commonly, there was evidence of lower-than-expected numbers. Certain sex, age and sex-by-age groups stood out as potentially concerning, but these were not consistent across countries/areas-within-countries. In the meta-regression, different patterns were not explained by countries’ COVID-19 mortality rate, stringency of public health response, economic support level, or presence of a national suicide prevention strategy. Nor were they explained by countries’ income level, although the meta-regression only included data from high-income and upper-middle-income countries, and there were suggestions from the ITS analyses that lower-middle-income countries fared less well."
 
To follow up on the credit card issue, I received an email from Wealthsimple who I have a cashback card from, and since it is a reloadable charge card there will be no fees. So reloadable credit cards might be useful for some people. Don't have the kind of bonuses some of the travel cards have though, that's for sure.
 
I guess it goes to show how completely out of touch I am with popular culture that I had no idea that no idea that Kanye even had his own line of shoes, let alone that they were a billion-dollar business.

After doing a Google image search, I’m also stunned by how ugly as fuck every single one of the designs seems to be. Who buys this shit?
