I don’t think people realize it’s even possible to have better monitors or that they are destroying their eyes.
Yet every time I’ve put someone in front of a good 4K or 5K (especially) monitor, they’ve been like, “Wow, this is so much better! I didn’t know text on a large screen could look like that!”
When I brought my own 4K monitors into work, I converted like half of my office to 4K or at least wanting them.
Good monitors save eyes. If you don’t think you need them, you’re probably wrong.

The user-hostility of all of this stuff she’s lampooning is astounding.
In healthcare, there is no such thing as zero risk. There is no such thing as 100% effectiveness. Benefits, risks and unknowns all have to be considered. And all things considered, vaccines historically have delivered far more benefit than risk, and are likely to do so in future.

There is no such thing as “no risk.” Those who are searching for it will never find it. Welcome to the universe; it’ll be fucking you up until you die.
I’ll be taking the Covid-19 vaccine the moment it’s available to me. Because I’m not an assclown and though I am content to take more risks than most, getting vaccinated isn’t much of a risk. I’ll most likely drive to the vaccine site, which is hundreds to thousands times more risky.
Most people seem mentally ill to me they are so incredibly bad at assessing risk.
You know you’ve been in IT a long time when you help a completely separate customer use and configure their own custom in-house developed product, and know how to do so better than they do, even though you first saw it five minutes ago and they have worked there for years.
How’s that even possible? Don’t ask me. But it is, because I just did it. And not for the first time.
About the FA and other failure-oriented movements, I’m tired of hearing statements like, “It’s not easy to lose weight.” Damn, who gives a fuck.
Most of life isn’t easy. It’s gonna stay that way. Either do something or don’t. No reason to start a whole movement justifying your failure. That’s just descending into complete assclownery.

A great metaphor for the failure of our country. What should never be allowed to happen happens; the easy is “impossible”; failure is the expectation and in that we are not disappointed.
If you accept no risk, then you’ve just taken a huge risk.
Why can not more people see this?

People die of ideologies all the time. Just wait till climate change really hits. Many, many people will die of its effects while believing it’s a hoax. Reality ain’t care what you think is a hoax; reality will fuck you up regardless.
My critique of capitalism is that I am not currently on a starship journey to another planet.
Really, that was all Marx had to write. He wasted a lot of time with all that “Das-ing” and “Kapital-ing” and such.
