News anchor: a plague researcher at a plague laboratory in Russia dies after their plague research ran into plague complications. The plague researcher began showing signs of plague before their death. The cause of death is still unknown...

    The plague never actually disappeared. People get it every year, about 1-2,000 internationally. It’s treatable now.

    yeah I was going to say people in India get it all the time. Hell I remember the Seinfeld episode where a friend of Elaine and Jerry decided to have their wedding in India and the parents of the groom, who were both Indian, tried to talk them out of going saying stuff like "you know they still have the black plague in India?"

    “I don’t think it’s cause for alarm, but it is cause for focus and a cause to just keep an eye on it,” Rubio said.

    But can you make anything out of it, or is it just there to see for backstory?

    It reminds me of like January-February 2020.

    Like, listening to the radio and every morning the news headlines are "there are now X confirmed cases and extending as far as Y, Z, and W"

    And every day, X gets a little bigger, and Y, Z, and W get a little further from Wuhan, until you start to notice that it's actually getting closer to you. And then you hear about the first reported cases in your country. Et cetera...

    Japan had a biowarfare lab during WW2, knowing Putin I’d be more surprised of they didn’t have one.

  • How much it run you cause the place I use keeps shaving my asshole and I keep telling them, "I'm fine with a little bit of blond hairs, it'll be like a target!" They look at me strange and say something in a language I can't understand and shave the area. I wish they respected my wishes but I am thankful that they don't use the wax, though they use the single blade and they tell me to relax and then I tip them extra so they won't cut my asshole but they told me that asshole blood smells worse than shit so I think they don't cut my asshole because they don't want to smell stinky asshole blood but the anxiety tipping can't hurt, right? I think they shave it before they bleach it so I'll tip extra because they know I'll always tip extra in an attempt to not have my asshole cut.

    sigh the things we do.

    This is how the news for corona virus started. Only to find out China had been suppressing it and it was much further along than anyone else knew.

    Yeah I remember my first exposure was a post on reddit with like 3 hospital workers all in full hazmat suits rushing a bubble-covered gurney from one location to another in probably Dec of 19 and thinking that nothing good was going to come of that.

    Please god send an actual plague. There are too many people on the road and I'd like you to thin the herd. Especially since we know that Trump supporters were dumb enough to have coughing and spitting competitions at events like Sturgis which they held illegally while Covid was going.
