Anyone arguing differently isn’t doing so in good faith.

I think my cold water PNW oysters are safe for now.

I've never had a gulf coast oyster that I'm aware of.

Vibrio vulnificus naturally thrives in brackish waters where the temperature is above 68 degrees Fahrenheit. As a result, it's actually more common in the Gulf of Mexico, where the waters are warmer, than on the East and West coasts.

"If you're consuming a raw oyster that comes from the Gulf Coast waters ... particularly in the summer months," says Lopez, "You have to assume that it has Vibrio vulnificus."

No, I read The Jungle.

Reagan was about as pastel as you can get.

This is exactly what you’re doing, just the inverse.

You can’t take a circumstance, any circumstance where one person does something and project it on the whole “party” or group of 2B people.

That’s just silly.

Lol. Because they don’t provide more help to people than any other organizations today

Stuffing goes in the bird.

Oh, and as someone who watched Ronald Reagan closely and had a parent that worked for him via a close personal friend, Reagan could have potentially been the most conservative president ever in this day and age.

He was a slick and powerful politician first and would have done anything to get what he wanted. It likely would have meant going far right on many things which at his core he would have been happy to do.

Especially with Nancy barking in his ear.

Thank you ACB! That's why I voted for republicans!

This got me to thinking at what rate/level/ease of infection transmission does a disease change this type of thinking? Twice the current rate? 5x? 10? Do we just assume if people saw it dropping others left and right that they would not gather? I just got a little curious what it would take at this point.

Obviously there are some self limiting factors in successful viruses for lethality but I really do wonder after this experience this year what it would take.

[Useliteski]

Fuck Ronald Reagan.

[Useliteski]

and fuck republicans that think religion is more important than life.

so fucking dumb

[kydmb99]

Happy thanksgiving uselite!

Was thinking about this as well. I think the answer for people like Amy Covid Barrett is that it just doesn’t matter.

The majority of the Republican Party has pretty consistently pushed back on policies that would prevent more death. They are responsible for 10’s of thousands of deaths...likely 100’s of thousands before it’s all said and done.

Party of Life?

I get the thinking and I understand the need for protections of religious freedom. I do not understand how it squares against common sense sometimes though. When I read that little bit of the story from the tweet, I just kind of sighed and thought to myself, "here we go".

I'm not really incensed or anything though, the idea of protecting the way people wish to worship is incredibly important for our society and for me personally even though I don't participate or believe in anything like a church. I guess I just don't see this as a tough decision and wondered how bad it would have to be for the same people not wanting their religious freedoms infringed upon would agree that, "yeah, we shouldn't do this".

[Useliteski]

LOL the people so bent up about oysters...

enjoy that factory farmed meat in your 8 MPH pick up truck with your outdated, unsustainably heated home, and then blame oysters for global warming. who's fucking warming the oceans, the oysters?

i've seen it a few times on here. ridiculous.

Taylor Shellfish please and thank you, but no geoduck.

Northern California has some great oysters too. Tomales Bay Oyster Company is good.

[DMBstandUP1984]

I assume the oysters here come from New England

Not yet. I will either tonight or this weekend.

But for real. If you're ever in SEA. They pluck the shellfish right out of tanks and serve it to you. Kind of spendy, but so worth it.

Someone make a meme for me.

The episode where Kramer wouldn’t wear the AIDS ribbon. The dudes back him down in the alley. But substitute mask for ribbon.
