Dude, you're stupid to not be vaccinated if you already have recovered from covid and have superior natural immunity? That's an extremely silly take. It's like you think this is about compliance rather than, you know, ending

Please, tell me, by what strategy do you propose we use these vaccines to end the pandemic? Please consider in your response that the pfizer vaccine wanes to 20% efficacy after 5 months [1] and the others are no better. As well consider tho

No it doesn't. All available data show that those with natural immunity are immune to covid far more than those with vaccine immunity. Why should those with natural immunity be stigmatized? Is this about immunity and getting out of a p

What is the benefit accrued from stigmatizing the unvaccinated? From where I'm sitting in Montana, with no mandates, low vaccine uptake, and nobody giving a crap about the "OMG CASES THE CASES", the firmament remains.

You know, I've thought this same thing for a while now. I'm an immigrant to the USA and I've traveled extensively. All these woke folks that try to make it seem like America is the world's most racist hellhole crack me u

This situation has interesting second-order effects as well. Most "custom harvesters" require farmers to schedule their combine/truck well ahead of time, giving them little leeway in which specific dates they can harvest thei

For every acre of cropland that becomes too hot to grow in, shouldn't there be more cropland that becomes arable? Why does climate change literally only make things worse everywhere, and better nowhere? That's what it seems like w

So to you the only way is to achieve climate... stasis?

Yea, it's hilarious. "Fight climate change!" -> "Support climate stasis!" LOL! To boot, the explanation I heard for that gives insight into the alarmist mentality. I heard that "global warming" was a ba

There are several claims worth disputing, but in a nutshell: 1) The claim that "climate change" is a problem is on its face pretty dumb (are we shooting for climate stasis?) 2) The claim that humans are causing all the change is a

Geeze. Climate change alarmists have been so incredibly wrong for almost two generations. I've mentioned this before, but I live near Glacier National Park. In the early 2000s, some new screeching alarmist climate model forecasted the

Not brilliant at all. This is yet another move to make YouTube friendly to the same powers that be everywhere. This is a tool for centralized control, not a platform for everyone. The reason they're doing this is the whitehouse is a jo

There isn't much of a difference these days, from where I'm sitting. The government and the heads of bigcos are pretty much on the same teams.

Exactly one phone on the market, the latest and greatest Apple phone, has this capability. So, no. My flipphone can't be tracked when the battery is taken out.

Had never heard of them but they look awesome. I'm in love with boxy-looking utility vehicles lately. These look like a less gaudy version of the Mercedes G-Wagon and appeal to my sensibilities. Thanks!

I do use paper maps as my phone doesn't support apps or maps. They're surprisingly useful. Payphones, nope. Still got a flip phone. Yep, can be used to track me, but I don't take it everywhere. Also, your position seems to be

The reason I really like the idea of a crate motor is because one of my pet peeves about new vehicles, and EVs and Teslas in particular, is that they seem to invariably turn your vehicle into an always-connected, auto-updating tablet, with

Rates don't have much of an impact on affordability. If rates drop dramatically, then home prices rise in near lock-step, all those looser dollars flowing right back into the housing market. It means that with the same monthly payment,

Kids are the least at risk of covid. Should they bear the most responsibility? Lol.

Does your Robux argument extend to e.g. digital movie rentals? App purchases? All software and media purchases can boil reductively down to "paying money to see a screen light up in a certain way".

Weed control can come in many forms. Some plants do better in more acidic soil vs basic, and native grasses tend to have a range of optimal pH different from broadleaf plants. As well, cutting strategy can help via shading--if the grasses a
