Fair

Whoa there friend, let's not disparage the game just because of its association with capitalist pigs and blowhards.

Perhaps, but last time I had covid (two years ago) without Paxlovid it was even worse. I ended up in the ER and my oxygen hung around 82-85% for days. I think I'm just one of the lucky few who won the shitty body prize when it comes to covid response.

Edit: For reference, I'm not in the at-risk age group, I bike 5-7 miles a day, practice yoga regularly, eat a vegetarian diet and get blood tested every 6 months to make sure I'm not nutritionally deficient, I stay on top of my boosters, wear masks when out in crowds...etc. I think it's just the luck of the draw with some people when it comes to this weird virus.

Fuck the cdc. They've made one bad call after another on this thing since the start. Becoming like the flu? Last time I caught this shit a few months ago I was in bed for 2 weeks before I could even function at a base level again. And that's with being fully boosted, otherwise healthy, in shape, and using paxlovid.

VPN is your friend.

I remember spending 3 whole days downloading LotR: Two Towers (a huge feat as I had to finesse the entire household to not pick up the phone for those three days), only to end up with an audio-only file and a shit ton of viruses. Glorious memories

Viruses...viruses everywhere. And god damn we loved every second of it

Sigh...see you 10 years from now when you're suddenly on the military's most wanted list again. Fucking déjà vu all over

What a mood

You mean the old clown who straight up quoted his favorite fiction book and referred to Christianity multiple times in his opinion is a Christian fundamentalist?! Who could have imagined this!!

"BoTh PaRtIeS are ThE sAmE"

Fucking morons

We should ban billionaires for the sake of our children. I mean how am I supposed to explain go my child that kind of perversion? A single human can own more than millions of others while they starve?!

I was thinking more along the lines of "when do we start arranging in-person meetups for these cristo-fascists with their god"?

Ok, so lets do this: you provide me with a realistically accomplishable path to help get biden off the ballot/not elected, without giving the house away to Trump and his sycophants, then I'll take you up on it. I've written letters, I've been at rallys, I've been at protests...etc. What else do you see me (and others like me) realistically being able to do to change the course of the election without, again, letting that dumptruck of shit that is Trump and his GOP back into positions of power?

Agreed, but whether you're happy with it or not, one of them WILL be president come next year. There are a lot of other issues in the ballot that impact people's lives as well. Being a single issue voter is how systems like this ratchet up in the first place.

You're already on a superior editor friend. Don't fall for the propaganda of lesser tools (that of course being anything not neovim)

Because Trump would be better for the Palestinian people? Don't get me wrong, you're not off the mark on biden in the least, but until the Republicans can put up something other than buffoonery, make your choice in the primary then hold your nose in the general for the lesser of two evils. Welcome to first past the post

Never said you specifically did. I was using it as an example of why I don't believe that all conversations and discourse have inherent value and validity. I can see where my use of the generic "you" would be confusing though. Apologies for the misleading language

That's why I rely solely on post thumbnails now as the source of truth. :P

But real talk, you're not wrong. Most of the shit I run across is nothing but slams, clapbacks, and random Twitter screenshots for some reason.

Huh...TIL about how weather satellites actually work. No comment on the rest of your post, but that was a cool little side-journey you led me down. Thanks!
