KuruPrionz Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Actually Covid has morphed already and what scientist have said the new strain the effects and number of deaths are the same, what is bad is the new mutation is far more infectious. I am not doubting you, I also participate in another pandemic thread elsewhere. Do you have a link to an article about this new mutation? I'd like to pass it along and also keep tabs on this development. It's what viruses do, mutate. Some say they are not alive but we must kill them.

GRollins Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 I am certain that you are correct. Sadly, it's a bit late for me to become a rock god, porn star or animated video character. If things continue as I forsee, it is inevitable that Covid_19 will slowly but surely raise the average IQ of the American People. Any mathmatician will tell you that low numbers drag averages downward disproportionately. 1) It's never too late to become a rock star. However, the longer you wait the fewer groupies you'll get and the less attractive they will be. (Note to self: Get a move on, stupid! That "Become A Rock God" entry on my to-do list has been moldering for far too long.) 2) Porn star? Er, I started to say that I wouldn't touch that topic with a ten foot pole, but realized that would inevitably generate a certain number of ribald comments. 3) Animated video character? That's easy. I'm willing to audition for a grumpy old man or a god or an alien...you know...roles where a little, um, maturity sounds good. Look, if Yoda is 900 years old, they're not going to voice him (except as a youngster) with a, well, youngster...right? 4) The way I see it, the two primary at-risk categories are those who live in close proximity (e.g. cities, nursing homes, etc.) and those who, for ideological reasons, refuse to take Covid seriously. There is some overlap, in the Venn Diagram sense and they're doubly at risk. 5) We are in agreement regarding the net raising of the national (and world) IQ, but it's best not to say such things out loud. I was mildly chastised for saying exactly that recently. (Don't mean it ain't true, though.) Grey Quote I'm not interested in someone's ability to program.

Grey Was it some dumbass that chastized you over what is rather apparent and simply Darwinism at it's finest? Dodo birds could not get any dumber and now they are gone.

GRollins Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 I'm not sure of the precise wording, but I always thought Robert Heinlein's saying covered a lot of ground: The best way to get revenge on your enemies is to outlive them. Now all I have to do is keep idiots from killing me and mine with their willful ignorance and bad attitudes. Live defensively; let Covid and Darwin do the heavy lifting. It's just going to take a while and there will be a lot of unfortunate collateral damage in the meantime. Grey Quote I'm not interested in someone's ability to program.

KuruPrionz Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Agreed, ain't none of this is pretty a bit. And, there is my video character. An opinionated hillbilly phiosiphier. Jest gotta brush up on my banjer playin' is all. I am cautious, very much so. Have been working on something different for live streaming, the world does not need another guy with guitar that knows songs. Work in progress. EDM Comedy Hour?
