Do the at home Covid test. Open up a beer. If you can smell it and taste it, you don't have Covid.

I thought it was only valid with eating pussy.

I found out my wife had anal covid when we were 69'ing

Lol fat tissue attacks fat tissue. There is hardly any scenario where being obese doesn't have negative consequences. Great discovery dickwads!

It is easy to miss what’s happening, given the endless screeching from the elite media and outliers like Bill de Blasio’s idiotic effort to force vaccinations on kids in New York City.

But ask yourself these seven questions:

1: Do you have any idea how many Americans are now dying with/from/near Covid each day? The answer is still over 1,000 on average, but the daily death count - which was a national media-fueled obsession for a year - has been entirely forgotten.

2: What percentage of 5-11 year-olds have been Covid vaccinated? More than a month after jabs for kids were approved, the answer is barely 15 percent - not even one child out of six - despite a massive advertising and media campaign. And I can promise you that number is not going to budge much going forward. The parents who were dumb enough to give their kids a quasi-experimental and short-lasting “vaccine” for an illness that even before Omicron was a cold for most have already done so.

3: When was the last time you heard anyone suggest mandating Covid vaccines for kids? See question 2. Even deep blue state politicians have gone silent on this issue (again, except for the moronic soon-to-be-former mayor of New York). And even the craziest vaccine fanatics have mostly found other issues to froth over. Elections have consequences, and the Virginia election sure did.

4: How many different federal district courts have now ruled the Biden vaccine mandates unconstitutional? I believe the answer is ALL. All the courts.

5: What are the odds the Supreme Court follows suit? Yeah, that bet has been taken off the board. Too likely. Too much action on one side.

6: How many companies have “suspended” or “paused” their vaccine mandates since the courts stepped in? Not quite all, in this case. But many, including bellwethers like Oracle (which as a couple of readers noted to me is particularly telling since it is known for treating employees like widgets).

The labor market is tight and companies don’t want to fight with 20-40% of their employees, especially since the vax nuts are now indicating they are going to try to make boosters a standard or quasi-standard to “remain” vaccinated. (Remain? Vaccination by definition should be a permanent or at least semi-permanent - as in lasting a decade or more - condition.)

7: Speaking of boosters, do you know anyone who actually believes the public health authority/media attempt to rewrite history and pretend that boosters within six months of vaccination were planned?

Here’s the thing about the booster. I don’t think the booster will work. I think it will fade within six to eight months. The Israelis are four months in, and they are clearly concerned, even though cases haven’t actually spiked yet.

But in the unlikely event it DOES work, great! No one will need a fourth shot.

And in the much more likely event it doesn’t? We have already seen exponential decay in willingness to take a third shot, and that will surely continue to the fourth, especially as side effects continue to pile up. Even the dullest MSNBC viewers will eventually figure out they are better off taking their chances.

So either way, the third shot is the end of the line.

—

And all this was BEFORE Omicron, the little cold that could.

Now, this analysis is US-focused. Europe is older, more frightened, leans harder left, and has national and supra-national bureaucracies with powers that make woke American progressives drool. Australia and New Zealand are in even worse shape, as they have never quite shaken the dream of zero Covid.

But I am increasingly convinced that by this time next year, barring some medical catastrophe, we will see all the Covid mandates - including the vaccine push! - the way we now look at school closures (and police defunding) - as regrettable and never-to-be-repeated episodes of societal insanity.

Even the Atlantic is catching on.


And let me tell you, if the Atlantic is catching on, the end is nigh.

Oh well. It was fun (for the vaccine billionaires) well it lasted.

Is it just me or are other people with a brave browser not able to play videos on patnet without them constantly resizing small - not quite as small - small - not quite as small.

The past few days they've been unwatchable unless I full screen them.

I have the same problem too.
I usually click the original link.

.

Wow, thanks for telling me. I don't see that on Brave.

What browser and OS do you see this problem on?

please edit this and post just one video at a time, thanks

I do generate the html on the fly each time.

I had frameborder="0" but I added the other two just now. Is it any better for you now?

I don't think you are generating what is between <iframe ... ></iframe> each time - that's what I was suggesting.

When I reload this page (or just go to https://www.patrick.net/post/1329897/?comment_id=1805611

I get the same thing. If I quote that, it's still the old encoding. You will only see the effect when you click play.

Need a VM?

It is indeed all generated each time the page is loaded.

I see the flickering now, so I have something to debug locally at least.

richwicks says

a scrollbar is produced which constantly changes the size of the embedded video.

yup ^

Patrick says

Ah, there were two problems:

1. The html for each comment is store in the db as is, not regenerated
2. unknown parameters to iframes are stripped

I fixed the second one, so now we should be able to see that video without blinking. Let's see...

No, something is still fucked up...

OK, I think it's non-jiggly now, at least for newly posted videos.

Thanks for the help you both!

My “triple-vaxxed”aunt and uncle remained unmasked. My aunt and uncle eschew masks at home because masks make it hard for them to breathe. It also occurs to me, and probably to them, that they, as well as millions of others around their age, won’t see many more Christmases, and that their last Christmases may entail largely empty churches and family dinners with members missing, the injected hiding from the unjabbed.

The sadness.

Fauci, Collins, and Bourla did this to millions, for no reason but their own personal fame and the billions in profit for Pfizer.

@Patrick: Reload this page and check. There's still the jumpy scrollbar.

I don't know how powerful regular expressions are in, (what is this - javascript?) are - but you could take something like:

https://www.bitchute.com/video/5nUwy8RgB4U4?source=patrick.net

(not the link, the text of that link) and find it, grab it, and turn it into:

<video:bitchute::5nUwy8RgB4U4>

When it's retrieved to be displayed show this:



I'm an asshole describing how I would do this, without knowing the limitations of the language though. I'm looking forward to being (possibly?) terminated for my refusal to give my vaccination status. IF I AM, I will on this.

Will you help me with nginx?

Got to learn python too, although I think that's a flash in the pan language but it's probably worth learning, it's lasted long enough it's not going to disappear.

richwicks says

Not jumping for me, and does have the no-scrollbar attribute now if you look at the source.

richwicks says

<video:bitchute::5nUwy8RgB4U4>

This is syntax I do not know. What kind of tag is that? Got a link to explain the syntax?

richwicks says

Sure, as much as I know. I just get it going and then forget about it, tweaking like a year later on average. @richwicks

@Patrick - hey, do you see this if I add it in an edit, or only on the first post?

I'm seeing it at this post still:

Old code doesn't seem to be updated.

It's internal syntax, for storage and retrieval only. Instead of storing the actual link, I was suggesting something that could generate the link - that way when a site (inevitably) changes rules on you, you can make the change system-wide. I think that is what happened with bitchute - because that jumpy scrollbar wasn't a thing at one point, but it has become one now. I suspect this is because they have modified their video player.

I told you what I want to build, a discussion site where any video added becomes it's own discussion with link backs to what included the video in the first place. I'm annoyed that people can disable comments, and upvotes and downvotes on discussion. Something like Dissenter but not quite so in-your-face, more under the radar.

I also want to replace SLACK. That's just an IM program.

And then a lot of other stuff. I really want to revive the old internet, but without dependency on IPV4 or even 6. Some 13 year old kid should be able to buy a box, or the family should be able to buy a box, and have a way of talking to one another - privately. Allow groups to grow more organically again.

Personally, I think we will know it is over when the legacy media propaganda shifts to government bureaucrats and pharma lackeys congratulating each other.

richwicks says

That's true. Comments are stored in the db as html. I'd have to write some script to go back and update all old comments to stop the video shaking on those. I could, but it's work.

I would love that too. The problem is the simplicity of set up. It has to be brain-dead simple. Making big changes to how things work on the internet is hard because so much is dependent on how things already are. Getting people to install new software is quite hard.

Pandemic Will End When We ‘Turn Off Our Screens,’ Says The BMJ
The pandemic will end when society decides to resume normal life rather than waiting for COVID “dashboards” to register zero cases, said the authors of an article published Tuesday in The BMJ.

“Pandemic dashboards provide endless fuel for news coverage, ensuring the constant newsworthiness of the COVID-19 pandemic, even when the threat is low,” wrote Peter Doshi, Ph.D., The BMJ senior editor, and David Robertson, a Ph.D. candidate in history at Princeton University.

“In doing so, they might prolong the pandemic by curtailing a sense of closure or a return to pre-pandemic life,” the authors wrote.

A BMJ analysis of the past century showed previous pandemics including the Spanish flu faded away gradually as societies “ceased to be all consumed by the pandemic’s shocking metrics.”

I think the BMJ means well, but is entirely wrong.

The mafia is not going to let such an easy way to vast riches and power just go away.

Pfauci and Bourla will continue to murder more and more people until they are finally hanged for it, or die without punishment.
