Every year I have to explain this.
People, Daylight Saving Time is over. We are now in standard time, the bad one.
It’s not EDT or PDT at the end of a time you are suggesting, it’s EST or PST.
Get it together.

Indeed.
Also the standard FUCK STANDARD TIME. May it die soon.
I don’t really give a shit who is verified or not verified on Twitter or your blue check mark or lack of blue check mark. Like, damn, I came up on the internet where “hornygorilla” and “gooseturds” and such were esteemed users and anonymity was not just accepted but de rigeur. Where it was weird to use your real name.
Call me an asshole, but I don’t really care if your gran gets scammed because she sends money to fake Joe Biden. It’d be better if most people weren’t on the internet, really. It’s a net negative and a cognitohazard for most folks. They shouldn’t be here.
Return to forums, to blogs, to real communities. Let the normies drift away. If Twitter dies, nothing of value will be lost in the end.
People saying trying to explain the study means I don't care about what happened to these elderly, frail mostly men who got reinfected with Delta which hit frail people much more?
Absolutely opposite. It was a colossal failure. I'm angry about that. Being accurate is a duty!

I love love love how much Zeynep makes the Covidians cry. She’s great. Not just for that reason. But it certainly helps!
The Super-Skinny Ideal Isn’t ‘Back’ — It Never Left.
This is moronic. This problem is that what we now define as “super skinny” is just a normal BMI. People, that’s absolutely not super skinny. This whole debate is insane.
The Fat Acceptance clowns have won and it’s sad to see.
Science has been ruined by terrible STEM nerds pushing out real scientists like botanists and taxonomists and experimentalists — all in the service of fucking around with R and Excel spreadsheets mostly uselessly.
Elon buying twitter is not a business deal and assessing it as a business deal is at best myopic.
It’s a political act.

Obvious. Well, except to nearly everyone. But obvious to people who like being right.
All this bitching is a sign that the IRA will work as designed, namely as a boost to American green manufacturing capacity. https://t.co/MRLNQsQhfI

Yeah. They would not be carping if it’d be ineffective. The EU’s whinging is a good sign.
Without Dobbs, the Repubs would’ve picked up ~20 more house seats and 2-3 more Senate seats. Fucked themselves over and it’s great to see it.
Turns out taking away rights from more than 50% of the population ain’t so popular. Imagine that.
Do you ever look at your documentation and thank yourself?
Every damn day. My documentation is awesome and helps me and my whole team. There is no documentation that will allow the unskilled to do what I do. But it lets me and my team do things repeatably and reliably they could not easily do before, faster — including me.
Good documentation is like having extra employees around. It’s an investment with huge and nearly-immediate payoff.
Every straight guy alive has had an experience like this:
