A lot of people really hate the idea of anyone traveling for leisure. It just makes them absurdly angry, and they are convinced it’s some sort of “white” thing. Those people need to get a grip.
Keep ya weirdo ascetic fantasies to yourself. Let people have some joy. Obsessing over what you’re gonna take away from people is no way to go through life.
I think more people should travel far more often.
Updated Covid boosters cut the infection risk from XBB.1.5 subvariant by half, CDC finds.
Huh. The Covidians told me no Covid vaccine did anything to prevent infection at all, ever.
They were lying? Funny, keeps happening.
Guess this has become a common belief now even though it’s scientifically baseless and frankly ridiculous:
Of my younger friends, the youngest one (in her mid-20s) is more mature and sensible than 95% of the people I grew up with who were in their 30s, 40s and 50s in North Florida.
People are individuals. Strangely enough, right?
Something I’ve noticed in obese people is that they often order a fairly normal meal but then do things like ask for four cups of ranch dressing to accompany it and slather it on everything. What is up with that?
Is there some taste bud or neural-level malfunction going on there regarding the taste of food? Someone should investigate that as it might be a clue to something.
To me, it looks disgusting but people do things for a reason…so it’s worth checking out.
Look what I wrote on February 29, 2020. Ta-dow, someone should pay me for this shit:
Of course, no one pays you if you’re right. Ain’t nobody like that.
"That will only fix the problem temporarily" is one of the most common and worst reasons to not do something, at both the personal and societal scale

To many people in our world there is no such things as “tradeoffs” and “good enough for now.” Or even just “good enough.” Like the absolutely moronic pseudo-debate about electric vehicles, to these goofuses if something isn’t perfect it’s worthless — even if it would bring substantial improvements.
It’s just a way of bolstering the status quo, in most instances. Of course that’s not how these “impossiblists” see it because they are drowning in propaganda. To them it just sounds like being sensible which is of course how propaganda is most-effectively presented.
