Buttery Males!

With each passing day, the Dark Forest theory of social media seems all the more prescient…

virtually a nonissue

Emphasis on virtually. It’s not 100%. That’s why there is talk about herd immunity. I don’t think anyone here is proposing to not get vaccinated or that they don’t accept the science [1]. I think everyone here is actually in agreement except for the finer point about efficacy not being 100%.

One dose of the MMR vaccine protects against measles at 93% efficacy (that is, 93% of individuals will receive the protective benefit of the vaccine), two doses of the vaccine provides 96-97% efficacy.

[1] I much prefer this phrasing than saying someone “believes” in science, since science does not require belief.

That’s what is so sad to see - whole lotta young dumbasses with the same kind of short-term thinking dunking on “boomers” and things like Social Security. As well as unions, the post office, and public schools. Even worse when the framing of it is accompanied with some blather about “my generation” and so on, yadda yadda.

They are probably so filled with Dunning-Kruger that it hasn’t even occurred to them that prior “generations” were told the exact same hokum and that their “generation” is not magically any different…

The stupid “doge” thing was never about balancing the budget anyway. That’s all bullshit red meat for the dumbasses that voted for donvict.

Uh, I still have the same question. Linking to Wikipedia doesn’t really answer the question.

That P/E ratio it has is crazy. It’s basically a meme stock. I think 1/5 to 1/6 is being very, very generous.

Yep.

I am sure that most of the cereals I’ve tried in recent years have changed since I was a child. Not for the better.

corporate America has spent the last 15 years hiring people based on their race instead of their qualifications

Wait, in what universe did that happen?

The donvict motto: “the bucks stops with ‘that was other kids’”.

I wonder how long before the fake org called “doge” seeks to defund any police anywhere that are catching pedos, because it is probably just “waste, fraud and abuse” to bust what are probably mostly qons.

Cannot wait for the bothsiderists to claim how donvict doing things to actively crash the economy and then gaslight about it is equivalent to how terrible it was for Biden/Kamala to speak about an economy that was “the envy of the world”.

“He’s not hurting the people he needs to be hurting.”

Oh, FFS.

Meanwhile, Bobby Brainworm - is he still pitching vitamin A?
