The British approach of giving almost everybody the first vaccination, even it means delaying the booster, seems to have worked, at least for now.

@loki said in As seen on another board...: @catseye3 said in As seen on another board...: Think what this means, though. "Wife liberal, husband conservative" could be a kind of shorthand for widespread differences in viewpoints beyond politics. I would hope so, since your political beliefs are curated, sent to you and exposed to you based on some AI and those messages are radicalized to get you to click and look at ads. To think people think very little anymore, just constant indoctrination. Religions and the Khmer Rouge re-education camps move over. Those prone to emotional thinking are also prone to believe based on the anecdotes they are fed. Those prone to logical thinking might first consider that this is an anecdote, and why am I aware of it? The emotional thinkers never get past their initial response to the anecdote. Then they gang up, take control of the cultural messaging, and ostracize the thinkers.

HINT: Let X be the commemorative coin; suppose you weigh it against a random other coin A. If it tips, you're done; otherwise weigh X and A against random B and C, and if they balance, weigh X, A, B, and C against four others. Can that scheme fail?

@copper said in Here we go: It is not the government's job to plan anyone's life A non sequitur for the topic at hand. No one here says it's the government's job to plan anyone's life.

It seems they are going to get us used to it gradually. Nice of them.


What time?

Yes Obviously Of course No kidding Duh

In which case I'm sure we can all agree to use the scientific method and call it the Wuhan Flu And of course let's blame the Chinese, just in case that has any meaning

People are tired, especially the young. At some point, people throw up their hands and say to hell with it... Fair. Especially as it’s pretty clear the virus isn’t really dangerous for young folks (obv the danger of transmitting to others is there) The big question remains whether the variants are more damaging to younger people. True enough, but what we are seeing here is that more young people are showing up at the ERs. Yet ICU stats remain low and hospitalizations and are not dramatically increasing like in waves 1 & 2.

Too bad cigarettes went away, they were such a great performance enhancer I guess there was a downside too

“Never Trump” is just another way of saying “I don’t think critically”. But, as always, cultures are comprised of low common denominators, and TDS is a low common denominator.
