Monsiuer Pasteur is rolling in his grave

Why do plagues surface every time Donald takes office? Strange that Christians ignore these signs.

[–] SteveNashFan 21 points 4 days ago (1 children)

“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭15‬-‭17‬

This verse pops into my mind when fellow "Christians" praise Trump. It saddens me that they are happy to help a crook and a rapist into power, all because "the Democrats are worse." Elect a more morally upstanding republican then! Why does it have to be THIS guy?

I question if they ever actually read the Bible with an open mind... after all, wasn't Satan the one to tempt Jesus with earthly political power? Even if Dems were worse, didn't Christ call us to love our enemies? They've completely lost the plot, and then wonder why the Western church is in decline.

[–] ValorieAF 23 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Anyone who has read and actually understood the Bible knows that trump 100% fits the bill for being the anti-christ. It's so ironic.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago

I've never read the Bible, not more than I needed to argue with Bible-thumpers, and I recognize all the signs.

Something something ... imperfect vessel.

[–] StopTouchingYourPhone 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's very that. Too many people here are like, "fundies OBVIOUSLY don't understand their own bible fwah fwah," when no, they totally do and they're actually really into all that End Times shit. Oceans warming up? Woo-hoo we're on our way to boiling! Another plague? Sweet! Another sign! Does this one have lesions? Christian Fundies have worked hard for their end times, doing their part to make the laws of god into the laws of man on earth.

Our planet on fire is literally their best case scenario (and exactly why they can't be trusted in any kind of public office). They know who Trump is. The imperfect vessel or the antichrist - it's just another sign to check off the list. I wish I was being hyperbolic.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I grew up in the Southern Baptist Church and I remember the preacher standing in front of the whole church preaching about why we need to support Israel because rebuilding the temple is required for Armageddon. They read Revelations and want to experience it, rather than fear it.

[–] StopTouchingYourPhone 1 points 1 day ago

The religions we grew up in are similar. Bethel Pentecostal village in the middle of nowhere in my case, and my family were the outsiders (teh devils!) who moved there for cheap housing.

I'm sorry you had to sit in church and listen to that. It's terrifying for kids to experience the adults who are supposed to take care of them, giddy/possessed over the world ending.

I didn’t learn about their Israel obsession until my 20s. Christians moving to Israel so they can plant olive trees because it'll help the world end absolutely blew my mind.

[–] TurnpikeRangers 6 points 4 days ago

Well, no, it's because THE GLOBAL CABAL DEEP STATE IS AFTER HIM. CHRISTIANS ARE WASHED IN THE BLOOD, GOOD LUCK TO YOU SHEEP

I'm 100% for raw milk. I hope some one is setting up a centralized nation wide distribution ready to go live the second it's legal, and I hope everyone who wants it can get it at the same time before any news can spread.

I see what you did there. Let everyone go buy it and consume it before learning it could be contaminated. Nice try, Satan.

Yes. Harmless. Or do you think bird flu cares who it infects once it's transmissible from human to human?

Make sure RFK Jr drinks the entire jug of Bird Flu milk.

[–] PugJesus 58 points 4 days ago (5 children)

Maybe 'raw milk' shouldn't be-

Oh, nevermind, we're going to have RFK in charge of public health now, it's a lost cause

[–] dojan 25 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I hadn't heard of this. I was shocked to find out that unpasteurised milk could be sold to begin with, didn't expect a second shock in the comments. Think I'm going to go back to just not touching social media for a while.

[–] halcyoncmdr 11 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I'm surprised it can be sold in stores alongside regular milk. Raw milk doesn't last long because of the lack of pasteurization, the logistics of constant replacement due to the lack of shelf time is insane. There's no way places can be making money simply due to product loss as it goes bad before being sold.

Unless the farms selling it to the stores are lying about expiration dates due to lack of adequate regulations.

[–] IamAnonymous 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Maybe they end up selling enough. I wonder the same thing about the snowfox sushi sold in grocery stores. They have a shelf life of 1 day and the shelves are always full even before the store closes. They can either break even or they are running at a high loss.

Also, I don’t know if the raw milk is sold in regular grocery stores. I have never seen one.

In the beginning of bird flu, the instances called for only using treated milk. As a counter reaction, the sale of raw milk went up. Rationality went out the window some time ago.

[–] FordBeeblebrox 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

These are the same geniuses who went from chicken pox to covid “parties” for the express purpose of infecting everyone, this country has always been filled with reactionary ignorant asshats.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

I will say in defense of chicken pox parties, those made sense before vaccines existed. If you didn’t get it in childhood it was a lot more dangerous to catch in adulthood. And you had a 95% chance of getting it at some point (lifetime infection rate pre-vaccine), so the thought was to get it over with when you were young.

Now, obviously, just get the damn vaccine.

[–] Diplomjodler3 13 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Not only will the milk be raw, but there will also be no vaccines. The next pandemic is going to be such a hoot.

[–] SlopppyEngineer 8 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I'll go set up a webshop for ivermectin. It's going to be crazy again.

[–] cm0002 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Is there even any benefit whatsoever to raw milk over pasteurized?

[–] meeeeetch 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

There's probably a small loss of some nutrients (the heat breaks some chemical bonds). The benefit would probably be somewhere between negligible and marginal before you factor in the risk of food poisoning.

[–] halcyoncmdr 5 points 4 days ago

Studies have shown no difference in nutritional value. So it's a net negative across the board.

It's not healthier, it has a higher risk of pathogens, and a much shorter shelf life, all for usually more cost at the store. It's a perfect grift for the anti-vax, chemicals=bad people.

Hey, they know what they’re drinking, it’s all natural and they have an immune system!

Louis Pasteur worked in his lab for a very good reason. Must we go back to the 1800s?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Rightwingers don't believe in any problem until it directly affects them. They won't understand why we have modern medicine and health regulations until they personally feel the effects of having taken it all away. And even then many of them still won't.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 4 days ago (1 children)

And even then many of them still won’t.

I know one example personally of an older trumpthumper who insists he got subpar treatment at the hospital when he had covid and had to go on a ventilator because the staff held it against him that he wasn't vaccinated.

Not being vaccinated made his covid more severe not because of his age and lack of an immune response, but because those damn liberal hospital doctors refusing him their top level of service out of spite for his political beliefs.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago

If you don't get your car's oil changed for years and then go into the mechanic because your engine seized up, yeah they're gonna hold your own idiocy against you.

[–] Wogi 17 points 4 days ago

When men were men, women were property, black people were property, Irish people were black people, and we had just curb stomped our first country full of brown people.

A man could just pick up and go to a new town and call himself a doctor, sell some random bullshit to whoever, and leave before the consequences could catch up to him.

[–] blackbelt352 13 points 4 days ago

That seems to be the end goal...

You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know. Morons.

Do not drink raw milk it is a terrible idea.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 4 days ago (2 children)

"Just because you said that, I'm gonna drink raw milk even harder now. Get owned, nerd." Or something along those lines.

I hate this meme. Pingu would never say, "well now I am doing it." He would say, "NOOT NOOT!" and then he would do it.

It comes as California has reported 29 confirmed human cases of bird flu since early October, primarily stemming from cows, according to CDPH. Of those cases, 28 had direct contact with infected cows, all cases had mild symptoms that were primarily eye infections, and none required hospitalization.

"No person-to-person spread of bird flu has been detected in California or the U.S [yet!!]," the news release said.

Emphasis is mine, but pink eye for everyone sounds like it's going to be amazing. An anti-vaccine Health Department seems like the perfect sequel to the COVID ball drop/denial of the first admin.

Rampant infectious disease, tariffs, and mismanagement on everything are exactly the changes needed to help every American. /s
