Hell is other people, so it can only get better after I die

@jolly said, "I didn't make the list." You're in good (?) company: THERE were some very special celebrations taking place last week, with Meghan Markle and Barack Obama both marking their birthdays on August 4th. However, the Duchess of Sussex - who turned 40 - is reported by a royal expert to be unhappy that she wasn't invited to the former US President's party. Meghan Markle "desperately wanted" to attend Barack Obama's birthday party, Writing in The Sun, author Angela Levin explained that the mother-of-two "desperately wanted" to be among those in attendance at the three-day do. She said: "I am told that despite claiming she was unable to attend, Meghan desperately wanted to be the special guest at the Obama’s amazing party." Due to Covid restrictions, the guest list had to be shrunk down from 475. The expert added: "But the fact is, Harry and Meghan were never even on the original list." But fear not, you can steal "his" look: [image: 1628683371909-img_0873.jpg]

My favorite song of all time. Dolly is such a classy lady. Nicely done.

It will be lightly enforced if at all. It’s essentially the honor system.

@george-k said in Tucker was right.: @loki said in Tucker was right.: When he made a huge claim and Fox wouldn’t back him up I thought he had jumped the shark Carlson also said that the goal of the unmasking was to have him lose his job. I've not seen any evidence of that. And that may be wrong. Probably is wrong. But what is very interesting us whether it was a mistake made with a routine intercept or something more nefarious?

If they graduate during the pandemic their illiteracy was guaranteed many years ago.

But don't lie about it. That's the stuff people remember.

@aqua-letifer said in Unvaccinated pay more insurance?: @doctor-phibes said in Unvaccinated pay more insurance?: It's more of an academic exercise. Copper listed a big bunch of people he felt were at higher risk and deserved to be punished financially, I just added one I thought he'd accidentally omitted. At least he made room for the gays. We could do a Venn diagram. I wonder how many overweight gun owners are also gay hang-gliders. They'd make a hell of a mess if they crashed.

See "Fleebaggers" thread.

Yeah, it was tough before electricity.

Before I consider the changed rules, I want to understand the original game. Is there a winning strategy here? If so, what would it be? Also, can there be more than one edge between two dots?

@lufins-dad said in Remember "Pajama Boy?": @aqua-letifer said in Remember "Pajama Boy?": Is Gen Z really the hold up here though? If you ignore polls and look at actual reported numbers, yeah, they are a significant part of the 30% of adults unvaccinated. Then I'm cool with this. Gen Z is easy to make fun of, because they're young. But they'll grow up just like the Hipsters, Gen Xers and Boomers before them. I'm okay with how silly they currently are.

Close enough.

They don’t need insurance

It's a generic you. You need to look past where this guy is wrong and admit where he may be right. That's the only way you're going to drag a lot of people in fly-over country over the vaccine goal line.

@george-k said in ‘The system has collapsed’: India’s descent into Covid hell: @doctor-phibes said in ‘The system has collapsed’: India’s descent into Covid hell: Do we trust India's figures? Good question. While the rate was rising, a few months ago, many said that India's infections etc are probably being grossly undercounted/underreported. The numbers don't make sense when coupled with the reports of the horrors that occurred. There's probably two factors - a lack of resource/infrastructure to test, and a lack of political will to even try to be honest.
