It would be nice if people reached this conclusion before their own feet were being held to the fire but yeah sure.
This is why I didn't give a shit about Lindsay Ellis' video. Oh wow the exact thing that you spent the better part of a decade hand waving as just desserts for VERY BAD PEOPLE and lol poor Freeze Peach snowflakes finally happened to you? This is my sympathetic face. 😐 Image
It's pretty convenient that 5 minutes after you start bearing the cost it's suddenly not worth the cost anymore. Image
Here's the thing: I don't look a gift horse in the mouth. If you have a large platform and you say this shit on it - good. But this isn't MiB and our memories are all still intact so don't expect me to stroke your ego over it. Shut up and get in the trench.

One of the most bullshit things about the WinterFalcon finale is Karli beating Walker in hand to hand combat. They both have the serum so that's a wash. He's much larger and he's the most decorated special forces soldier ever. It wouldn't have been close. But scary villain!
It's why I love Walker so much. It's like the god of the universe he lives in wants you to dislike him but all he does is try cheap tricks to achieve it and you end up still liking Walker anyway.
Just want to add to this that Wyatt Russell twitching all the time felt like a really cheap trick to make him seem unhinged, but if you listen to what he says or see what he does, it just doesn't track. It's like the creator was afraid that he seemed too rational without it lol

Covid is low risk for young and healthy people. So is the vaccine. Since the latter also lowers the risk of the former even more, choosing to chance it with covid is illogical and poor risk assessment.
"But we don't know the long term impact of the vaccine."

We don't know the long term impact of covid either. One is a disease. The other is medicine. This is an easy choice.

This configuration will take some getting used to (just test fitting. This isn't the final setup) Image
I don't know! Never tried it like this before and two ultrawides side by side is pretty wide... I'll see if I like it.
Some people suggested this wallpaper tweak and I love it. Image

Here's a mind blowing fact for you: European-style sword fighting is a lost art. We only deduce how they did it but there was no continuity in teaching it, so this is all speculative. This is in contrast to Japanese-style fighting, which has been taught continually for centuries.
We are almost certainly correct about it. I'm just saying we haven't had ongoing instruction in swordfighting the way Japan has. You can't trace back anyone's sword fighting knowledge today back to the middle ages.
Apparently there is a term for this that I didn't even know - HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historica…

If your gut reaction to Texas and Florida doing well on covid is to propose some underhanded method with which those numbers were reached then you are a non-scientific partisan conspiracy theorist who literally hopes more people are dead so you can win an argument.
"Maybe they're lying" is not a reason. It's partisan wishcasting. There is absolutely zero information to suggest this aside from your ghoulish desire to dunk on DeSantis.

LOL what's the point of saying this but also not yet recommending it. What is this, a fucking teaser? Just tell people they're safe, for fuck's sake.
This made me actually angry. Why? Why? Why would you say "soon"? What is possibly going to change between now and whenever the fuck you put out an actual document? You literally just said all the reasons why it's ok now without explicitly saying that it's ok now. UGHHHHHHHHH
The literal second that you conclude that something is safe for people to do is the second you tell them that they can do it. Entire aspects of people's lives are on pause until you say so. Your sense of urgency about covid should go both ways.
