Tell that (please) to all the libs who throw fits when someone walks by outside their apartment without a mask. They are all “believe science” but have more superstitions than 4th Century Bagaudae.

Cool. In the US at least in about 2-3 weeks, case numbers are going to crash, fatality rate will too, and the doom-mongers will look even more foolish than they already do.
Down With Lockdown
On some deep level the “permanent lockdown” mentality is one of the clearest examples of a people becoming unmoored from the stream of time, alienated from past and future and therefore willing to tear down everything that could be in order to save themselves at all costs.

That, and it signals that other vital parts of society have completely disintegrated because the “permanent lockdown” mentality is not what a collective response looks like — unless you consider solitary confinement to also be a community-oriented response.
Find Calc
Question: if I ask you what’s 24 x 16 what do you do in your head?

Think about the quickest way to get a calculator because I am completely and utterly incapable of doing math of any kind in my head.
No Style
Lockdown lifers and pod-worshipping libs are already squirming out of the walls to tell us we will have to live lockdown style forever:
That was inevitable of course. Expect the drumbeat to get much louder. Of course, none of what they advocate is really necessary — we have the technology to live better, do better, be better. But it’s so much more appealing to many to take the diminished ascetic path, because to them penurious repentance feels like justice.
Unlocking
It’s a really weird idea that people can and should endure lockdowns for months and months at a time. No one is built for that.
So much for “flatten the curve.” Going to be some interesting long-term mental health consequences of all this.
Streamer
Doesn’t this pretty much kill all streaming, like Twitch et al. as well? Especially if Visa follows along. Of course in reality, though, big businesses won’t be affected by this. After all this sort of action is designed to kill small operators. That’s the whole purpose and it will work.

I agree, Charlize Theron was very good indeed in The Devil’s Advocate.
Left to her own devices in big, scary Manhattan, a neglected Theron begins to succumb to demonic visions. As her character spirals into madness and desperation, the actress conjures a tempest of raw emotion completely out of sync with the otherwise tongue-in-cheek nature of the proceedings
She redeemed the movie for me and made me watch parts of it twice (uh, specifically, the parts with her in it). I’d already seen her in 2 Days in the Valley, but at the time — because I was younger and shallower — I wrote her off as too pretty to be serious. (Yeah, that’s the kind of stupid shit I thought then).
Anyway, she was almost unrecognizable between the two films. 2 Days in the Valley:

Pure dumbassery knows no bounds.
How Long
How long before the liberals define any sex as “trafficking?” Doesn’t seem that far off, really.

Wind generation capacity increased three times faster than optimistic expert projections 5 years ago. A large part of the reason was underestimation of how fast technology & manufacturing capability would grow. A good source of hope for the future! https://t.co/IXovaWhjsU

I remember about 25 years ago when “experts” confidently predicted we’d never have the solar and wind generation capacity that we had…a decade ago (It’s way more now).
Got banned from forums for disagreeing with those mooks.

And they wonder why people don’t want to work for $8 an hour. It’s a huge mystery for sure.
The Real Risk
An Astra Zeneca first shot was made available a few weeks ago to a very close family relative who declined, wanting to wait for another brand, and who came down with COVID afterwards. The funeral is tomorrow. Misinformation kills. Get vaccinated.

The real risk (for most). Preventable tragedy, and we’ve had so many of these this past year.

Breakthrough infections are basically just not happening at any sort of scale that could inform public policy or behavior in the long run.

But DOOM! Variants! More doom! Stay inside forever and ever!
The truth is the pandemic would’ve ended even without vaccines — we just sped it up by a year or two. Luckily.
I’m so done with the doomers.
