I first used the internet in 1986, but did not use it routinely until 1995. Would’ve been sooner but I joined the Army.

Indeed. Nine reindeer harnessed properly could pull things in snow (and other adverse conditions) that the F-150 could not even budge.

Austria’s Covid Surge Is a Warning to the World.

Is it, though? Have you heard about seasonality and it’s about to be winter?

And how many in Austria remain unvaccinated? Seems more like a warning to get fucking vaccinated to me. We need to resist prison countries and lockdowns as hard as we can. Once we lose those freedoms, they’ll never really come back.

Gawddamn, just thinking about how fucking annoying it was being told for 18 months that “Zoom is just as good as in person” and that there’s no reason to go to concerts, or to see loved ones, etc., as the digital replaced the need for that.

Do you like literally work for Mark Fucking Zuckerberg, you fucking clowns? FUCK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUU

I’m guessing Omicron is going to see another big push of the lockdown lifers to get us all podded up again. We need to resist that with everything we’ve got.

Strangely, it’s escorts and former escorts like Aella who know that “men only want sex” is a lie, because of how many men buy their time and don’t have sex with them.

The Cultural Left’s conclusion that the best way to produce “equity” is to make it harder for anyone to excel is an intellectual, cultural, and political calamity. https://t.co/f7yKxzw1QJ

Vonnegut wrote “Harrison Bergeron” for a reason….

I heard stories about my husband and thought he sounded like the most interesting man in the world. I emailed him and got to work with him and then eventually married him. https://t.co/iK9gua9PW5

If a man did this, it’d be considered harassment and stalking.

Stop, just stop. You know it’s true.

The experts™ skipping Xi variant name in the Greek alphabet so not to offend the country that started this sums this entire thing up perfectly. It can't be topped.

Aye. I noticed that too. The world is just beyond stupid.

Let’s be very clear. A new variant emerged because of Biden’s failure to break vaccine patents. Something he promised voters while running for President last year. Instead of taking action and sharing vaccine technology, Biden would rather implement a travel ban. https://t.co/qGZateMWrt pic.twitter.com/l0GqI9UyTx

I was told Biden would be better than Trump.

See any evidence of that anywhere? Anyone?

Omicron has me thinking once again of the truly piddling cost of a global vaccination program compared to size of global economy and costs of further death/disease/disruption. It would be change in the couch cushions for a single big nation.

Yeah, about $40 billion, give or take $20 billion or so. The ten-year ROI just for the country sponsoring this would be on the order of $2-$5 trillion.

But muh patents!!!!

NIMBYs in San Diego held a meeting to discuss the Navy’s plan to build 14,000 new homes and the Navy, who was invited but doesn’t need any local approval, didn’t even bother to show 😂 https://t.co/jpFrvwEVMF

Power move. Now if we could only do that with all NIMBYs and just build, build, build.
