They were having ‘Virutal Races’?
I’m trying to get a picture of how that would work to anyone’s satisfaction.

“Monkeypox 5000”

I wouldn’t be in the middle of that crowd of freaks, in that city, for any amount of money.

I identify as a cyborg.
It's cool though. It's electric.

A bunch of people on highly computerized treadmills that keep track of how much distance each has traveled all connected via Zoom.

I would have expected some outcry as minorities who were insufficiently wealthy couldn't participate.

At least it’s not the “Bay to Breakers” race where many run in the nude.

I saw “SF” and “runs” in the headline, and my first thought was “diarrhea”. I might not be that far off.

I guess it’s better than just sitting in front of a computer like I’m doing right now, but it still seems quite artificial. These are the kind of people who will easily enjoy Virtual Reality sessions or the Meta-Verse.

this crap shouldn’t even be talked about publicly, in the interest of public decency. But noooo.... it’s in our faces and our kids faces every where we go.

These people are evil and sick. A demonic spirit is attacking the USA. Christians - continue to pray that these forces of evil be held back, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
