Needle phobias are extremely common, and the thing about phobias is that you're fully aware that the fear isn't coming from a rational place, which is part of what makes them so frustrating to deal with.

At this point if it was possible to orchestrate some massive conspiracy to vaccinate people en masse, we should just do that. They'll shout about it either way, but this way they'll at least be vaccinated

This is actual theft. If they want to go on about piracy being theft, justify this first.

Republicans are already against it.

Hypocrisy? From a right winger? What's next, water being wet?

Model collapse is likely to kill them in the medium term future. We're rapidly reaching the point where an increasingly large majority of text on the internet, i.e. the training data of future LLMs, is itself generated by LLMs for content farms. For complicated reasons that I don't fully understand, this kind of training data poisons the model.

Overt hypocrisy is a display of power. They're showing that they're not only above the law, but above rationality itself, they can rule on a whim rather than be consistent.

It's projection. They're offended by "happy holidays" so they assume everyone else is equally offended by "merry Christmas".

Dirt in Latin.

Also the classic question of does a lock of hair or a drop of blood count as a body with (a lot of) missing parts?

You don't though. Wages don't rise to keep up with inflation, but they'd sure as shit drop to keep up with deflation.

The majority of people are in debt. If you owe $1000, you'll still owe $1000 but $1000 will be more money than it is now.

The problem with the boiling frog metaphor is they would only stay in the water after being lobotomized.

Actually that makes perfect sense, carry on.

The CEO. They claim that "risk" justifies their exorbitant pay? Let them take some actual risk, hold them criminally liable for their entire business.

1979: A computer can never be held accountable, therefore a computer must never make a management decision.

2023: A computer can never be held accountable, therefore a computer must make all decisions that are inconvenient to take accountability for.

It's 184 birds, 140 humans, 40 rings, and 12 trees. The rings are almost a normal present but when it's that many you're just Sauron.

Edit: fixed math

But the fever definition wasn't that precise. They took the average temperature, 36.88 C, rounded it up to 37 C, and somewhat arbitrarily defined a fever as 1 C above the (rounded) average. Which is perfectly fine, but it means the equivalent in Fahrenheit is 100, not 100.4.

That's a sigfig error. A fever is 38C, which is 2 significant digits. Converting to 100° F goes up an order of magnitude so you get a free sigfig, but unless the original number was 38.0C, you don't get that 0.4, you're implying precision that the original measurement never gave you.

It's probably too difficult to implement now because of computers being entrenched in the existing system. If we were going to implement it, it would have been 100 years ago.

No system can avoid arbitrary bullshit because the earth doesn't go around the sun in an amount of time that's an exact multiple of the time it takes to rotate.
