Hasn't this been the case for like 30 years, and common knowledge for 10? Or am I totally mistaken? https://t.co/QWJZE2Z7Sc

It has been common knowledge among non-dumbasses for a long time. The friend is not that smart. It’s a post-diction. This has been obvious since at least Greenspan’s jackassery in the early 2000s, inflating a housing bubble.
25% of America has been vaccinated now.
Anyone who doesn’t get jabbed as soon as they can is a fucking idiot!
Biden Team Preparing Up to $3 Trillion in New Spending for the Economy.
Cool. What the fuck, where did this Biden come from?
I don’t mind saying I was wrong about Biden, at least in some areas.
I’m disappointed that volcanologists don’t call their labs “lavaratories.” Perhaps they think it sounds a bit too dumpy.
also I think I was testing something on this VM

Be careful, one can summon demons this way. They look like Clippy and jump in your way offering to help you at every turn, but each offer diminishes your soul a bit, saps your essence, until you become a wraith yourself and your bones orient themselves to resemble Clippy until you are only capable of roaming the planet, “helping” others.
Be very careful indeed.
I know no one now will believe it, but it’s a very possible turn that the left/libs argue for resegregation as their dominant view, in a kind of renascent Plessy vs. Ferguson reimagining, while conservatives become the radical equality party, though not on the basis of true egalitarian impulses of course, but because that creates the largest free labor pool to exploit.
It sounds absurd now but many views that now seem completely ordinary were once thought to be just as preposterous (women and men are equal, the universe is expanding, etc.).
Saying we shouldn't have nations is like saying we shouldn't have toothbrushes. Yes, someday we'll have a benevolent one-world government, and someday we'll have nanotech that cleans your teeth for you. But in the meantime, let's not tell people to stop brushing their teeth.

Aye. Nations are about so much more than borders, but borders are what liberals obsess over*. And I think they don’t know their own history, but earlier generations of libs were the ones who helped so many nations gain independence and start the decolonialization process. Not that groups and their views can’t evolve, but eliminating nations and borders now would mean that there’d be endless war and conflict and that Apple, Google, et al. would have carte blanche (and hundreds of other very bad things).
*I think libs obsess over borders because they are mostly rich and white and believe they should have the privilege to cross any border anywhere at any time, no matter what, even if the people across that border don’t want them there.

I’m so glad she replied.
So much of the left is desperately ready for resegregation. What in the living hell is wrong with them?
As U.S. schools shuttered, student mental health cratered, Reuters survey finds.
Accepting no risk anywhere doesn’t mean you’ve eliminated risk. It just means you’ve stuffed the risk somewhere else.
Something I’ve noticed too that bothers me and makes me hate people is the denigration of those wanting to go on vacations and holidays.
These jaunts are seen as “frivolous” and “unnecessary.” This in a world where people work too much, have been cooped up inside for a year, and especially in places like the UK and much of Europe, are very likely to have people they love overseas whom they have not seen in a year or more.
Getting a break is vital to mental health. Seeing those you love is also vital to mental health. So telling people they are being whiny entitled babies for wanting to resume some semblance of normal human activities, to travel overseas, go on a getaway and to preserve their mental well-being is well and truly fucked up.
Some people really are just terrible.
No, it did not. It was treated as an absurd assertion, like claiming someone had created a perpetual motion machine, when in reality (as anyone in the field knows) lab errors and escapes happen all the time. Most of them result in nothing major and thus never make the news, but they are very common indeed.
Turns out there is no hypercompetent black budget sci-fi deep state in contact with an ancient breakaway civilization hidden under the ice in antarctica.
We are going to have to build it ourselves.
