TIP OF THE DAY: Don't anybody click on this link or any links that Second puts in his posts.

I mean, unless you welcome the idea of somebody else knowing your personal information. Somebody truly unhinged.

OK. I'm going to post this around a bit so nobody misses the warning.
Don't click on SECOND's links.

What's with the url shortening links
a URL shortening service and a link management platform
Not sure about the shortened . Ly link
.ly is the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Libya. In 2011, the bit.ly address was set to redirect to bitly.com.
The .ly TLD is controlled by the Libyan government, which has previously removed one domain deemed incompatible with Muslim law.

I put the warning in my signature link for the time being too.

How do you know he tracked you down before and how do you suspect that he did it?

And just an FYI if you didn't know it already, the links you should specifically be on the lookout are the "link shorteners" like the one he posted above. Ones that have things like "bi.tly" or "cut.ly" or something followed by a short random string of characters. Those are just the dead giveaway ones though.

But since I've never REALLY learned how posting links on this site works, you might want to avoid clicking any of his unless you "reply with quote" first and make sure that the links to genuine sites he posts hear are actually directing you to that site first.

I know that on many blogs you have the ability to wrap a link and hide it behind just text (like you see news sites do to their other articles all the time) or even wrap it up with a legitimate looking link. This site is so bare-bones that you probably can't do that here, but who knows?

Maybe I'll test it out in your test thread at some point and see if this is possible to do here or not. I'm not really worried about it since I wouldn't click on one of his links even if he weren't trying to farm user info.

Most folks over 50 would be dead without vaccines writes Baylor College of Medicine CEO Paul Klotman

March 17, 2021

In the time of the Roman Empire, over 2,000 years ago, worldwide longevity for humans was about 35 years of age. That did not change until the 1850s. Since 1850, the increase in longevity of humans has been at a rate of about three years each decade. So what happened?

Science entered medical practice.

Medicine began to move from focusing on the likely outcome of a disease, to using science and scientific method to answer medical questions and develop interventions and treatments. A few examples: In 1850, Dr. Ignaz Semmelweiss, a Hungarian physician, proved that hand-washing could reduce fatal infections that were occurring in as many as 25 to 30 percent of women who gave birth in the hospital. Dr. John Snow identified that the handle of a water pump on Broad Street in London was the source of cholera. By removing the pump, cases of cholera disappeared quickly.

In the late 1800s, the German physician Robert Koch established the field of microbiology and identified many of the organisms responsible for disease in humans.

Dr. Joseph Lister developed the use of antiseptics to reduce bacterial transmission in surgery. Lister's studies, along with the work of French researcher Louis Pasteur, supported the concept that preventing bacteria from entering the human body could prevent disease. In the 19th century, most of the advances in longevity were the result of preventing bacterial infections, using antiseptic techniques, and providing clean water through civil engineering.

As we entered the 20th century, the main causes of death were still bacterial infections: pneumonia, dysentery, bacterial enteritis, diphtheria and tuberculosis. With the discovery of penicillin by Alexander Fleming in 1928, the age of antibiotics was born. With effective therapy for many bacterial infections, we lived through life threatening diseases, and lived longer.

But, viral diseases continued to threaten mankind. In the 1930s, 40s and 50s, polio killed and paralyzed millions of children, teens and adults around the globe. It was a devastating disease that affected the young and struck fear in the heart of every parent around the world. The killed virus vaccine against polio invented by Dr. Jonas Salk (1952) and the attenuated live virus vaccine of Dr. Albert Sabin (1963) eliminated this disease and added years of life to humans.

Like antibiotics before them, vaccines became the main drivers of longevity in the 20th century. Vaccines all but eliminated smallpox, measles, mumps, tetanus, chickenpox, diphtheria, rubella, scarlet fever and Type B meningitis. Vaccines effectively treat flu, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis A, Haemophilus influenza b, Rotavirus and pneumococcal disease.

So when I hear that people don’t believe in vaccines or are reluctant to get one, I want to say, think again. Next time you visit a relative in your family over the age of 50, take a good look at them. Without vaccines, there is a good chance they wouldn’t be alive today.

And unfortunately, we have evidence of the importance of vaccines when they are not available. This year for the first time in 150 years, mankind lost, on average, an entire year of life because we didn’t have a vaccine for the coronavirus.

So, let’s not ignore over 150 years of science that has led to an increase in longevity for every person on this planet. Get vaccinated! And until you do, wear a mask.

Paul Klotman, M.D. is president, CEO and executive dean of Baylor College of Medicine.

Fuck you.

Being anti-Covid vaccinations does not equate to being anti-vax.


You can have mine and feel twice as safe. Because I'm NEVER going to get it.

Don't even have to read past the first sentence to know the answer to that.

It's Trump, right Second?




Wow! Just the other day, he was able to recognize that one incident wasn't terrorism or a hate crime.

He's right, again! Maybe there's hope for the wet brain Nazi?
