Dude.

The USA’s death throes are going to cause a lot of collateral damage across the globe.

The collateral damages have already started a while ago, no?

Now imagine if instead of recommending vaccination during an outbreak, it was recommended before anything happened. Crazy thought, I know. Only way this could have happened is by not having a complete moron obsessed with his countless delusions as the fucking head of the health department of one of the largest country in the world, is all.

I wonder if this have anything to do with moving quickly from “we must all limit our energy consumption” to “we must burn as much energy possible for no real purpose”.

I guess we’ll never know /s

The intense interest some politician have for everyone else’s crotch is fascinating, if not a bit weird.

Vance criticizing something tells me the thing in question is probably correct one way or another.

It’s not an idol, it’s just a gold-looking representation of something a large group of people fervently honor and pray to, and according to their own chit-chat, hold in higher respect than jesus or god. And nothing more.

Remember people, in today’s USA, it’s better to be a sex offender than literally anything else. It’s even better if you meddle with kids; that could secure you a position in the government. But girls liking girls? Big no-no.

But I thought super capitalism would allow markets to self regulate, motivate competition, and weed out low performer. Isn’t that a good thing anymore?

Also, I’m laughing at “unless things change, we will not survive”. That might be the change happening, buddy.

I generally agree that prohibition doesn’t work, and is bad, but having an absolutist position like this is usually problematic.

Hence the immediate follow-up sentence: “I can see the point for some of these restrictions, to provide a safe basis for other people around”. Basically, the old saying “one person’s freedom ends where another’s begins”.

Laws should be around to protect other people from external nuisance/danger, not for the express purpose of prohibition.

The parts about not being a nuisance for other/imposing onto them is nice. It will take forever to become a new society standard, though. In France, it’s been forbidden to smoke in public places like subway stations and bars for decades, but there’s still a lot of people doing it. But we’re slowly moving there.

However, forbidding people to smoke, period, will not prevent them from smoking, it just makes it illegal. That’s the part I’m not strongly agreeing with. There was the nuance.

And to be clear, my personal opinion on this topic is that smoking is batshit crazy and why would anyone do this to themselves, but I’d rather we go the education route and work toward a better environment for people to live in than going the “NO” route. Unfortunately, that’s not the way we’re going.

I have no idea how that would change thing. I just base myself on previous (and current) attempts at banning things. It never goes well.

Prohibition is never good, removing individual freedom is never good. I can see the point for some of these restrictions, to provide a safe basis for other people around (because we can’t ask people to simply be nice), but more than that… meh.

I will not be up in arms to defend smoking rights, but that’s probably not the way to do it.

Fucking onion.

And we miss.

There was this chapter in an XKCD book talking about where does tire particles goes. From memory, it said “there are many answers to that question and none of them are good”.

I’ve seen a few passages of this, the required qualifications definitely not include “ability to read”.

Sam, you little piece of shit, the thing is, most humans are cared for because that’s what we strive to, not because we want to replace them for fuck’s sake.

I made a joke a while ago about “kid being a necessary evil”. This dude really is comparing keeping humanity afloat and burning humanity’s resource for a computer. I’m pretty sure even his little AI garbage yesman would “disagree”.

It’s already trickling down : from public government money to private business owners.

At this point, it’s a suicide really.
