Here’s the thing: it’s safe for unvaccinated people to be outdoors without masks too.

What’s this fucking weird-ass liberal obession with wearing masks outside? I just do not get it.

Deficient

The future is very long, unknown and unknowable. Nothing about space colonization violates any laws of physics so it is a possible outcome and given long enough time and the survival of the human race (in some form), even a probable one.

This is an example of the ignorance of extrapolation from the now. Never works, and in the end you almost always look stupid.

Created Limitations

There was a range of “expert” opinion then.

A great many, though not quite a majority, believed there would never be a vaccine created as “there had never been a successful coronavirus vaccine.” Not realizing or thinking about of course that no one had really given it a serious try before as there was no money in it.

Beyond that, there were many who said a vaccine might be possible in 4-5 years. And some said that a vaccine might be available in late 2021 or 2022. Shows how unknown the shape of the future is, and that previous constraints (as with Medicare for All being “impossible”) are completely artificial.

We create our our own limitations, which then have multitudes of “experts” claiming it really couldn’t be any other way.

Glad someone else has recognized the tricks Mozilla likes to pull with Firefox:

This is largely what doomed them, along with the obvious lie that all configurability and customizability must be removed for the sake of security. Anyone who works in IT knows that’s utter hogwash and those things have little to nothing to do with one another.

Firefox 3 was the best version and I miss a usable browser a great deal. Probably never see anything that generally capable again.

One Side Did

Modern libs: Believe science! (Unless science says that the pandemic will ever end, or that I shouldn’t hide inside forever, or unless it no longer gives me an excuse to exhort and admonish others to do the same.)

I would give the same treatment to conservatives, but just fuck them and their anti-mask anti-vax BS.

Obesogenic

This is a much healthier way of looking at the obesity problem and the world than the Fat Acceptance movement’s take on things. Anyway, as I’ve pointed out a million times, the FA movement is only possible in a corporate propaganda-rich environment. Without that sustaining it, it’d already be dead.
