This sweet plan seems to include a lot of being approved for masses of credit and hoping you can pay off your un-write-offable loans (there are an upsetting number of ways debts can't be written off). But if anyone can go bankrupt and fuck over their debtees, please do.

I appreciate basically all those believers are being dumbdumb, listening to misinformation, and the vaccine is incredibly, incredibly safe (get vaccinated, vaccines are amazing). But to be honest, 'thousands of sudden deaths in otherwise healthy people' is not a very high bar for a vaccine distributed to billions.

The AZ vaccine is incredibly safe, get vaccinated, but it has roughly 10 serious, frequently life-ending, clots per million doses, more commonly in healthy young people. No hard numbers I can find about consequent deaths, but if 1 billion people have had the AZ vaccine, then 10,000 people will have suffered that. Roughly 13.5bn doses administered worldwide, so even if vaccines in general are 4x safer than the AZ vaccine, and only 1 in 4 of those people actually die, and only 1 in 4 of those deaths is a person that was otherwise healthy, it is plausible that the claim 'thousands of otherwise healthy people have died suddenly from the vaccine' is true.

The risk of death or lifelong injury from COVID is significantly higher, get vaccinated. COVID bad, fuck antivaxxers, get fucking vaccinated for your own and others' sakes - but the number do add up in a silly way. I suspect the sentence is actually true.

If an imitation parmesan is so perfect that it can only be differentiated by ultra-minituarised complex circuitry, then maybe it's time to just admit that, at least in that specific instance, parmesan is okay

I'm sure you're right, but I've not seen that to be true where I live in Europe. That makes absolutely no sense.

It's clear Jessica Ashooh has connections with powerful people and obviously works with/for government agencies, but the assertion she's directly a CIA plant is hard to prove. It doesn't really matter, it's clearly shady and fucked, so it seems a silly assertion to make.

Whether or not you hang out with the rich and powerful is 99% nepotism, c'mon now

I've not played the game. I assume the issue is that gay people do in fact, exist in a game?

Even "the Nazis made the trains run on time" meme is a myth, trains were few in number, expensive, and very frequently cancelled and late in Germany and Italy under fascist governments.

A concerning amount of people unironically still believe in the White Man's Burden.

Yep, Twitter still loses billions a year, and even more now it took on debt to be owned by melon-musk , it will go bust fairly soon, in terms of a few years.

Yes, thank you. Law is not the reason I haven't started a business, it's money.

C'mon, companies are already doing enough dumb shit, we gotta make up new ones?
