End of the line finally coming for BlackBerry devices.
Too bad. Physical keyboards were and always will be far superior to touchscreen ones. I could type 5-10x faster on a Blackberry than I can on my iPhone. At one point, I could type on a Blackberry about 60% as fast as I could on a regular keyboard (about 50wpm). On a touchscreen keyboard, I can manage only about 5-10wpm.
When the world starts incentivizing male vulnerability – or just stops actively deincentivizing it – we will see more male vulnerability.
The people with the most control over this are straight women.

Mostly true. Also known as why 99% of feminist dating advice is absolute garbage.
Glad I figured that out fairly early.

The status quo powers don’t care that what you say is correct, only that it comports with the way they wish to push the narrative. That’s what “believe science!!!!” is all about after all.
Good explanation for why Villeneuve’s Dune felt real and expansive. Practical effects and CGI used appropriately.
High Rate of Asymptomatic Carriage Associated with Variant Strain Omicron.
I said this would be the case here.
5 Studies, 5 Figures. All consistent, independent replications in vivo, in vitro. Omicron can't infect lungs or lung cells as well as prior variants.@KU_Leuven @SystemsVirology @GuptaR_lab @hkumed @LivUni pic.twitter.com/X9jbugx0vs

Lockdown lifers are in tears everywhere now.
South Africa says that it has passed its fourth wave of cases, and counts few added deaths.
Omicron inherently milder; evidence is stacking up.
You can still see some of the below in military culture even in the US, but yes, it’s almost unimaginable now that it was once considered unmanly to be overly concerned with picking up/bedding women, which is now the pinnacle of masculine achievement.
Past times were stranger than most people can imagine, I think.
Mom: Daughter mistaken for intruder by father, fatally shot.
These people who just start blasting away before identifying a target is why regular people should just not have guns, for the most part. I do not understand this.
I think I just realized why many liberals actually hate NASA: it’s because it shows people there can be a public good that promotes and celebrates excellence, rather than attempting to eliminate any found as an expression of Tall Poppy Syndrome. NASA shows we can be more than we are, and achieve things that seem impossible at first glance, so for that they must be condemned.
It’s the liberal version of why conservatives/Republicans want to nuke the USPS, basically. Both are disgusting in about equal measure.

I call this the “But everyone I know voted for Kerry not Bush, how did he win?” effect.
Who is filling up the hospitals in NYC as omicron surges?
Answer: it's still the unvaccinated. They are now *32* times more likely to land in the hospital vs. vaccinated.
You don't want those odds. Get vax'd now. https://t.co/vpCxAcY4FU pic.twitter.com/eRXvyKRFtD

Still is really a pandemic of the unvaccinated, even with Omicron. And for that we owe them our hatred and mockery. Hope they all die.
The new CDC-recommended quarantine period seems about right, given the science? Not sure why everyone is complaining about it. It matches pretty well we know about likelihood of transmission, etc.
No one actually “believes the science” or whatever BS various groups spout. It’s all some political game. Anyway, it hardly matters; omicron is the end of the pandemic. By spring or early summer 2022, it’ll all be over.
I have seen a lot of qualified people using this study to link Covid and dementia. Anyone who is doing this either hasn’t read the study methodology and results properly or is greatly over-extrapolating and driving fear. https://t.co/sK20X268XA

I’ve been skeptical of that cognitive decline Covid study for a variety of reasons, but here someone does an actual deep dive…and it’s a big nothing. People intubated — no matter the cause — get brain damage. No shock there. Otherwise, Covid seems to not do much.
