There's nothing wrong with wanting supporting evidence for claims, but when someone says something that's very provable and common knowledge and you ask for proof - you become known as an idiot.

They do mention the incubation period for Rabies in the article can be up to two years, and they also mention it being found in seals starting in 2021.

You are correct that anyone bit recently may not be able to 100% confirm no transmission, but if no one bitten since 2021 has had Rabies from seal bites its still an accurate assessment.

Especially if people are bitten in (salt) water. Rabies spreads via saliva which is likely going to have a significantly smaller viral load if the bites happen in ocean water (also mentioned as a possible reason for low/no infection)

Gotta disagree about the Mist.

The monsters absolutely were the point, and something like a storm/flood/fire wouldn't flip that many people to religious human sacrifice or electing a religious leader to decide who gets sacrificed within 3 days. (the reason she was being believed was also monster related)

The monsters are what caused panic, fear, loss of humanity, and desperation. The movie makes a point to illustrate this when the generator stops working - the people needed something they could understand, and resolve, and refused to acknowledge monsters would be possible until they see part of one and some flip from impossible to act of god/devil, which doesn't really happen with fire or rain or snow.

The variety, size, and mysterious origins of the monsters are absolutely the centerpiece and couldn't be replaced by any natural disaster, as the whole point was how unnatural everything became.

I would say that Prey isn't so much a monster movie as a movie with an 'ugly' powerful humanoid. I would definitely put "The Thing" on this list, but it's not exactly modern.

Paying workers more is inflationary, but raising the cost of goods because you control the supply chain is "business"

Basically, raising product costs to cover increased labour costs are bad because actual workers are getting that money instead of the wealthy capital class.

I wish people understood boycotting more. Sure 6 companies own everything, but remember when the cost of a barrel of oil went significantly negative because people weren't driving for 2 weeks?

If people collectively decided they didn't want to buy anything but the absolute necessary staples for a few months there would be an absolute catastrophe in the supply chain and they'd be forced to lower prices significantly.

They may not lower prices forever, but modern business is built entirely on supply chain logistics. If people stop buying anything, or buy things exclusively to return them we would see some serious changes

Next time axe the executives and keep the staff.

Most executives I've met can't read emails and just point to one of two numbers and say "higher/lower!" while dreaming of KPI's that don't improve anything and solely exist to stagnate wages

Rent doubles in 2022, then eventually drops by 7% by 2024.

Doesn't sound like lower-middle classes are winning to me.

Don't get me wrong, it's trending in the correct direction (finally). But people need to push hard until either the average/median workers wages raise, or rents fall until all the costs of shelter are 30% or less of salary.

Ideally there is a strong public housing presence that heavily depresses the profitability of being a landlord.

I'm pretty sure religious groups think every other group is as focused and dedicated to conversation as they are.

If they were left alone in a room with a child (or anyone really), their immediate action would be to determine how Christian the child is, test and ensure their faith is all consuming, or immediately begin the conversion process if they aren't already their personal brand of Christian.

They assume this is absolutely normal, expected behaviour. so any group that is different from them, must be doing the exact same thing, but with other idealogies.

Like how they hate Islam and Sharia law while endorsing 99% of Sharia law practices under a different name. Or they think every gay person has a gay agenda and needs to make every child gay because religion knows children are the easiest to manipulate.

They are obsessed with someone else being a groomer while being the most organized and dedicated groomers on the planet.

Technically, ovulation without fertilization would be the benchmark.

Also, you probably can't miscarry. Which happens 10-15% of the time on average, and is much higher for some individuals.

These people are out to lunch. How stupid, uneducated, and emotional could someone possibly be?

The only people who are stupider are undecided or non-voters.

AI isn't good enough to replace workers, but it could probably replace C-suite executives at astronomical savings to the company

A Conservative is someone who can't enjoy their dinner without knowing someone else is hungry

It's literally cartoon villain level headlines of evil and some people will still play the both sides game as if its a close call.

Things like water, shade, and breaks are somehow woke, and can be added to the pile of totally normal and reasonable things that benefit nearly everyone but are now bad because the angry person on tv made this face while talking about it 😡

I just showed this to my wife and she said it doesn't make any sense.

My life is this comic, It explains so much.
