Scientists: Humans can’t multi-task!
Humans: Do it every damn day.
What’s that about? And then scientists wonder why they are not trusted. There’s tons of examples like this.

Whizzle
Not my definition of a math whiz https://t.co/0ZfloQV1Ka

Oh, she’s definitely a typical math whiz. Generally math whizzes are some of the stupidest people alive when it comes to anything else at all. Paul Erdลs couldn’t do anything on his own and he was one of the greatest mathematicians ever.

The Golden Age Live
Singing in a little boat with not-that-great mic situation and Mette still sounds amazing. I love her voice — so distinctive and fun.
So Quiet
Yes indeed:
Phony
can’t fit Ethernet cord in here, the port is too small. What am I missing?
LOL.
It’s hard to believe — but alas it is true — that there are people now too young to have seen a phone jack.
Dammit.
Huffing Stuff
All the anti-Taiwan Online Leftists are just incredibly stupid, in addition to being bad people in a moral sense https://t.co/OGhykfMIIv

Yeah, those people and the anti-Ukrainians (big overlap there) do seem just uncommonly stupid, and make ridiculously obvious mistakes.

No one wants to see my toilet seat collection. ๐
Digg It
Was using a search engine that shall go unnamed (no, it’s not for porn) and this was the search suggestion:
Is there something going on with lesbian morale that I should know about?
True Crime
always interesting when people talk about โcrime riddenโ nyc and their โproofโ is people being visibly poor and not the finance bros who keep crashing the economy and wiping out billions in everyoneโs savings.

In 2008, those mooks destroyed more wealth than all banks had ever made in profit in all of history. And we put someone who steals a grape soda in prison. Meanwhile, exactly 0 Wall Street banksters did any time.
Chances Are Not
If itโs only 7x higher with Covid that means once people hit booster 7 theyโll have incurred an equal risk of myocarditis too

Jesus Fucking Christ, that is FUCKING NOT how probability works. Also, the vaccines do prevent infection, but they’re leaky. Vax prevents around ~75% of infections.
Too many people I notionally like do too much clown shit for me to be anything but a misanthrope.

Very apropos given how shitty Mastodon is.

I remember when this was “impossible.”
Never Ahead
How I almost got kicked out of bed while having sex one time:
My girlfriend said, “I wanna do doggy.”
I replied, “Now that’s something I can get behind!”
That is how you too can perhaps get kicked out of bed as well. I recommend it. Wordplay and puns are worth the price you might pay.
Aside
I think a lot of people subconsciously recognized that the logic of masking, once popularized, would mean masking for the rest of your life, and chose no on that basis.

Indeed. Almost no one wants that, the Covidians aside (hopfully far aside). If those doofs hadn’t attempted to inaugurate perpetual masking regular people would be a lot more amenable to the idea of masking sometimes.
It was a slippery slope and recognized as such by enough folks. We resisted, as we should have.
