Truest Lies
This is the propaganda readying you to accept the pod and everything the liberals are going to be forced to take away from you. It doesn’t matter that some of it is true. The very best propaganda contains a lot of truth! It works far better that way.
Scientific reports have found that rich countries need huge reductions in meat and dairy consumption to tackle the climate emergency
No fucking thank you. Reforming farming practices? Yes, we should absolutely do that. But this degrowther clown world nonsense has to go. It’ll never happen, never work. It’s fundamentally anti-human and most people will rebel against it. I certainly will, and hard. (To my great embarrassment, I used to be a degrowther. One of the very major things I’ve changed my mind on in the past few years.)
This is not the way. This is just some lib anchorite asceticism fetish to allow the plutes to get richer while impoverishing the rest of us.
Learning Is Hard
Once you realize that women’s “never talk to a woman in public, it’s always harassment” etc., is an attempt to keep low-status and creepy men from bothering them, your life gets a lot better.
I didn’t realize this until I was in my late 20s, unfortunately. No one teaches you this shit, and some people are just more naturally talented at learning it. But I did learn.
Bad Mess(age)
Does anyone besides me feel that the messaging over the last month in the US has basically served to terrify the vaccinated and make unvaccinated eligible adults doubt the effectiveness of the vaccines?

Oh yeah, the lib message is basically that the vaccines do not work, when in reality they are incredibly effective. I saw this developing and knew it was going to get worse because too many of them made it a matter of identity to be “completely safe” and the like, where “completely safe” is avoiding 1 in 10 million risks they’d never otherwise consider or think about.
Understanding Risk
"and the risks of getting badly sick remain minuscule…In Seattle on an average recent day, about one out of every one million vaccinated residents have been admitted to a hospital with Covid symptoms. That risk is so close to zero that the human mind can’t easily process it".

But…but…the liberals told me the Delta variant would chase me down the street and hold me down and strangle me until I died.
They also think the vaccines don’t work but you should get one anyway, and that there is no such thing as endemicity for Covid, and that being vaccinated doesn’t have any positive consequences at all, nor should it. We all must live like 10th Century monks till the end of time (or until Bezos is rich enough).

Nah, not that one. It did more flips than Simone Biles. Not safe at all and not even cute.
But I agree with the general sentiment.
Abnormal Person
I tried to read a Sally Rooney novel and couldn’t get 15 pages in. Whatever other people are seeing there, I couldn’t glimpse it.
It’s like Cormac McCarthy meets 1980s soap opera and about as interesting (that is to say, not at all).
It’s Done
We're pretty close to acknowledging Covid's an endemic disease and we're figuring out how to live with it. 'After the pandemic' is when we decide that this is not a pandemic, it's just how life is now.
— Matt Stoller (@matthewstoller) September 6, 2021
Right. “Experts” will be saying it’s not endemic for 2-3 more years, but it already is. We’re there. They apparenly love being wrong so they’ll get to do more of what they love.
Peano Gallery
I love it when STEM people do philosophy and don’t realize they are doing philosophy.
It’s always good for a barrel of laughs. Because when you get beyond (below?) basic algebra in math, you are always doing philosphy. It is really funny that they never seem to realize this.
