It's so bizarre to misunderstand Paul Verhoeven, a filmmaker who comes onto the set with a big mallet with THE POINT engraved on its head and swings it straight at your face.

That made me chuckle. On a smilar note, there were tons of “educated” feminists who utterly missed the pretty obvious points of Ex Machina. Though these ideas were not as completely in your face as a Verhoeven flick, they weren’t all that subtle, either.

Goes to show that you can educate someone all you want, but you can’t make them not be a dumbass.

Corona is like a religion for a certain kind of well educated liberal. We can’t even talk about the scientific basis for certain interventions. Questioning them is by definition heretical. So anyone who does cannot be credible.

Even apart from Covid, a lot of liberals need to find some kind of church or something because they have all these religious feelings they apply to just the stupidest places. Or maybe they just need a hobby, which can I think be a religion substitute.

To all the libs who think things like car racing (or space flight) are pointless: most of the tech in your car — including the safety tech — came from or was refined in car racing. Otherwise it never would’ve seen the light of day.

I know libs are in a war against joy now, and that includes sports of any kind, but dang you people are weird.

My friends, that is how you lay the smack down. Love it.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but online conferences for me are a major step down from the real thing

Agreed. Online conferences suck so fucking much. Goddamn.

Prediction: long-term studies will show that being double-vaccinated reduces Long Covid to 0.5% of its base rate among those infected with Covid, and being triple-vaccinated (two jabs+booster) reduces it to 0.02% of the base rate.

Time will tell, but betcha I will be close.
