I hear "but vaccines don't prevent symptomatic breakthroughs well".
That's true, also for adults.
However, vaccines do *a lot more* besides just that, and tilt the balance in favor of the child in almost everything we measure—plus the unknowns. https://t.co/jOWF5RmpPB

Anyone who doesn’t get themselves or their child vaccinated is a fucking clown. For so many reasons. Just a total doofus.
Fat Acceptance Dipshit: It’s literally impossible to have a body like that. No one in the history of ever has had a body like that. It takes decades of effort, flawless genetics, and working out 37 hours a day.
Looking at random street photos from the 1970s: Everyone in the picture has a body like or better than the FA “impossible” body.
Basically the advice I gave when I taught GPOs: wmi filtering is a thing. It's on the test. Here's a picture of one. You now know that they exist for answering test questions.

Hey now, I’ve used WMI filtering quite successfully in certain restricted scenarios. Sometimes it’s the right tool. But you really have to know what the fuck you are doing.
erm………. OK then.

Uhhh…I have some bad news. Might not work out as you had planned.
In Cluj, Romania, you can pay for your bus ticket by doing 20 squats. Disabled and elderly people get to ride for free. pic.twitter.com/qPTxBa2JAt

I like it. If that were to happen in the US, the Fat Acceptance clowns would go apeshit.
That makes me like it even more.
By the way, obesity leads to about the same cognitive decline as Long Covid allegedly does.
On Inflation, Economics Has Some Explaining to Do.
Again, I was right and the economics establisment was wrong. Why? Well, it’s obvious that you can’t just pause an economy and then resume it, as we did with Covid, and expect no ill effects. It was always clear that any exogenous shock — and there are always exogenous shocks — would lead to non-transitory inflation.
There’s no model for this because it’s nearly impossible to plausibly model one-off events. That’s where deep systems thinking capabilities come in, and I have that.
I think this is one of the biggest divergences between what women think men care about and what they actually care about. Men do not give a single crap about stretch marks.
Or as a commenter said:
Was having sex with a woman back when I was in the army who said, “Sorry about my stretch marks” and I replied, “I don’t mind at all” when in reality I didn’t even see them or notice them. So of course I didn’t mind because I had no damn idea about any stretch marks that might or might not have been there.
