Marvel has made Eternal's supporting character, Karun Patel, his own emoji.  This is cool because I and apparently everyone else really liked the character.
 

That is a hard question.  The characters are asked to make some very tough moral choices and they are all affected by them. But there is the question of which ones are changed by the choices and which just have there true character revealed.
 
Sprite, Sersi, Thena, Ikaris, Druig, and Kingo all have have interesting arcs.  However, which are changed versus which are revealed I couldn't say.

I will no doubt be watching bits and pieces of it over the next months.  My wife has the absolutely annoying habit of constantly changing the channel, so she watches parts of 3-4 different shows at once, and the Hallmark channel is usually in the mix.  
 
What has 15 actors, four settings, two writers, and one plot?
 
632 Hallmark movies

This has to be one of the most truly chilling stories I've ever read.
 
It's even surprising, somewhat...it was really THIS bad?  Realize:  this guy probably was part of vetting Amy Comey Barrett.
 
Nixon had his enemies list.  If Trump, nightmare of nightmares, gets re-elected, it seems likely he'd reinstall this sycophant in a similar position.  Would it be an enemies list...or a list of those to be suppressed by any means necessary?  Trump did inestimable damage to the institutions and operation of government by his systemic disruption;  sounds like this'd rise to another level where seemingly every position would be filled based on one overriding issue:  Trump loyalty.  
 
What an utter nightmare.
 
 

I saw Eternals today.  Given the clunky nature of the comic book source material, IMHO this is the best adaption that could have been make.  It takes the source material seriously and never plays it for camp.  The actors are all very good, though given the large cast some characters get bet fleshed out than other.  There is humor but never at inappropriate times.  The stakes are huge both for the world and the characters personally and they give them the the weight that they are due.
 
Viewers who go in looking for another MCU action comedy are going to be disappointed.  But viewers who like comic books and don't feel a need to wink wink nudge nudge the story may enjoy Eternals.

It seems that people tend to see their own qualities in the people around them. People who are good at heart tend to look for the good in others; those who are wrapped up in small-mindedness and conspiracy theories are incapable of believing that anyone else could be any different. We live in a world of mirrors without realizing it.
 
There's a saying I've heard that kind of reinforces this: If you run into a jerk one day, you've run into a jerk. If you run into a couple of jerks one day, you're probably just having a bad day. If everybody you run into during the day is a jerk, chances are the jerk is you.
 
It's apparent this was true even in New Testament times. Consider Titus 1:15: "Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure".

I'm not a big fan of this quote. It's the kind of thing a Covidiot would say.
 
I've run into too many stubborn people who will die in a ditch over a wrong opinion.
 
On the other hand, if you actually are right...

Soylent what?

Sorry for your loss, but GRANNY ZOMBIE! does sound like a pretty cool wrestler name.
 
   “She came from beyond the grave to bake cookies and kick a$$!  And she’s all out of chocolate chips!

As always, the answer is Yes.

Understood.  I'm sorry.

Thank you for your tireless efforts.

WE FOUND THE BOT!

My take on this is that if a creators makes something that is profitable, they should be able to profit from it but that at some point something crosses over from being a "product" to being "culture" and I don't think someone should be able to own culture.
 
If we could keep copyright forever, then someone would own King Arthur, Gilgamesh, and the Pied Piper.  I don't think that it would be good for us as a society if we had to pay someone a nickel every time we referred to a Shakespeare character by name.  It is *good* that western civilization has a core group of characters that we all can use.
 
If you accept that Walt Disney created Mickey Mouse, well, he has been dead for 50+ years.  How long do the people who took over his corporation need to profit from his legacy?  At what point do they need to profit from their own work?  Should Mickey still be owned by a corporation in 2200?  2300?  By that logic there is not "common culture", just the various slices of a pie owned by various people.  Should Bach's descendant's still get royalties because they happened to have a famous ancestor?
 
At some point, for common culture to keep working, Mickey Mouse, Superman, Captain America, and the Ghostbusters need to become public domain.  Opinions vary as to when that should be, but ownership can't be perpetual.

I had a nurse show me how to solve this by positioning the mask one time, but I still only hit that sweet spot some of the time. Also, getting that nose area of the seal tight. I pre-bend the nose metal bendy bit (technical term) before I put on the mask, so it's kind of rounded and nose-shaped on the bend, and the bend is centered. That seems to help. So, my advice is: Find a nurse that wears glasses and have her show you how to avoid the fog.

We can look at what's in the video. Eventually.
 
The doctor is Ryan Cole, who is a board certified dermatopathologist (studies skin dieases) according to this pro-Ryan Cole website. More on this website later.
https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/rfk-jr-podcast-dr-ryan-cole-pathologist-early-treatment-keydelta-variant/
 
According to this website, he also has specializations in Anatomic Pathology, Clinical Pathology, and Surgical Pathology...all from highly credible institutions. His hospital privileges are at a local VA hospital.
https://health.usnews.com/doctors/ryan-cole-724324
 
 
 
 
Now Ryan Cole is also the CEO of Cole Diagnostics, whose website looks like a typical website for medical testing services.
https://www.colediagnostics.com/
 
But if you go to the shop tab on his website, you can buy cactus, watches, shoes, perfume, lamps, and backpacks...so I'm not entirely sure what his business is.
https://www.colediagnostics.com/shop?page=4
 
 
But if you believe that pro-Ryan website I listed earlier, it says after diagnosing COVID (presumably through his lab services) that he believes in a multi-vector approach to treating COVID which includes monoclonal antibodies (a treatment which actually works), steroids (which are pretty standard to treat patients having breathing problems), ivermectin (horse de-wormer), hydroxychloroquine (as pushed by the previous administration), the cholesterol drug fenofibrate and the anti-depressant drug fluvoxamine.
 
Fenofibrate, well, there's been a study in the UK and a small one out of Israel suggesting that it could have a positive impact on COVID. 
 
Fluvoxamine, on the other hand, hasn't had a clinical trial. There's been a couple of studies where patients with mild symptoms were given the drug or a placebo then self-reported the results. But so many people dropped out of the study mid-way through that the results, even for what it was, is inconclusive.
 
Fenofibrate is relatively benign as a drug but Fluvoxamine can have serious side effects including increasing the risk of suicide. https://www.covid19treatmentguidelines.nih.gov/therapies/immunomodulators/fluvoxamine/
 
So if you believe the pro-Ryan article, he's experimenting on his patients with unproven and possibly dangerous therapies.
 
As for the video, it was posted by thewatchtowers dot org which is a site devoted to conspiracies and which no one takes credit for in the websites "About" section. Their Reddit page say the subjects up for discussion include "Politics, Crime, Economy, UFO's, Conspiracy's, Corruption, Paranormal and Faith".
 
Dealer's choice on whether "the watchtowers" is a reference to Wiccan beliefs or to the Jehovah's Witnesses publication.
 
The video as listed on their own website https://thewatchtowers.org/scientist-shows-vaccine-effects-in-autopsies-dont-believe-it-see-for-yourself-if-you-want/ praises this doctor for being as courageous as America's Frontline Doctors, which is the medical scam site which we've discussed here previously. (Other articles tell such things as how people who are vaccinated set off store alarms because of the vaccine in their body. Another article about how an occupational therapist in Hawaii claims that he's seen 32 elderly people pass away immediately after getting their Moderna vaccination.)
 
The doctor's speech itself:
 
At the one minute mark, he says we've done studies on lab animals and determined that the vaccine when the COVID virus isn't present causes the same diseases in the body that having COVID does. And a few seconds later he says that the vaccine causes COVID. 
 
It would have been nice if he'd mentioned who "we" were and given us a link to the studies themselves. Because multiple studies which conclusively prove that the vaccines cause COVID would be a cause for concern if it were real in any way.
 
He says multiple times that people have died because of the protein spikes floating around in the bloodstream...but he doesn't give any names and doesn't claim to have done any pathological exam of anyone who has died in such a way.
 
He shows pictures of a heart which supposedly has inflammation after the person got the vaccine. But we don't get any "before and after" pictures of the same person to see if the person already had an inflamed heart before getting the vaccine or whether the heart was normal until getting the vaccine. He's also not telling us how many vaccinated people he had to look through before finding one with an inflamed heart (or lung, or whatever).
 
He's also not being clear in admitting that most doctors can look at people who are old, overweight, or have other visible problems and determine just by looking at them that they likely have something or other in their body that's inflamed. So is he finding his examples by randomly picking vaccinated people out of a hat and getting a wide cross-section of people or is he cherry-picking to find the people who most likely have a pre-existing inflammation.
 
He cites a 200 fold increase in a particular heart disease in children which he claims in from them getting the vaccines but doesn't cite a source for his claim. He also doesn't tell us how many cases there were to start with because going from one case to three is dramatic statistically but not a dramatic increase otherwise, even if true.
 
The 16% decrease in fertility in rats cited from the Pfizer study would be concerning if true. (It'd be more concerning if I didn't think the world was way over-populated but that's another matter. And randomly decreasing fertility without publicizing it to people would be ethically wrong regardless, IMO.)
 
At about 8 minutes in, he claims that all the supposed inflammation is caused by micro-clotting...but that you can't see it on "x-ray or scan". He also says "if we look at this in the patients, we know it's micro-clotting (emphasis in the original)".
 
It'd be interesting to find out where he gets this knowledge from looking at this in the patients since normal inflammation isn't caused through blood clots, the pictures he's shown aren't of clots, and the x-rays and scans don't show clots.
 
 
 
I'd normally go through the rest of the video but I'm old and have been doing three doctor appointments and errands all day today and I'm wiped out. If anyone wants to make a request for me to go through the last five minutes of his speech and give my impressions of it, go ahead and ask.
 
In any case, getting back to BitChute.
 
The reason why the website which this video is posted to is relevant to the discussion is that shows up on BitChute rather than a credible website is that the information which is most often posted on BitChute is not credible.
 
And if it were posted on YouTube, it'd be removed because it's a pack of hogswallop which is pretending to be credible information from a doctor who is in the business of trying to sell horse de-wormer, cactus, shoes, and backpacks.
 
Not everything which is posted on BitChute is automatically nonsense. But there's often a reason it shows up there rather than websites which at least try to have some kind of very minimal standards.
 
And the organization which chooses to post a video is often relevant as well. A wiccan-named organization which admits it is into conspiracy theories, UFO's and alternate spirituality...they're probably trying to find information which promotes their point of view rather than be an unbiased source of the news of the day.

What is BitChute?
