  • It still didn’t make sense.

    I knew healthcare was the main testing ground for vaccines. It made sense. Someone had to go first. It also made sense to deliver it asap. Staff was bleeding out of hospitals. Staff did die. Some cases of workers surviving only to find themselves widows or widowers because they brought it home, near the beginning. I think a lot more staff would’ve left and simply waited it out at home if not for the vaccine. The vaccine kept hospitals open imo.

    But sure. Bill Gates nanobots in a shot! That one was my favorite.

  • The attitude was off the charts odd.

    People yelled. People refused to wear masks. People (non-patients) were hauled out of emergency rooms by security. People accused healthcare of lying about diagnoses. People accused healthcare of being paid off to lie about all covid diagnoses (by whom is far less clear). People went so far as to tear breathing apparatuses off the “loved” one it was helping breathe. People won the country a full hospital ban on visitors that didn’t fully go away until very recently. People died of covid or covid complications and their own people still didn’t believe Covid existed.

    And why? Because they didn’t want to wear a mask? Because they didn’t want to stay home from work when sick? (Remember, everyone mostly dosed themselves with cold medicine and then took their crud into work, infecting everyone, in before times.)

  • I’m a bit lost on this one. Who designated it? I’d never heard of it before this article. I checked the Sec of State terrorist list and it’s not there.

  • Like that would ever happen.

  • Star Trek TOS. In on a global warming could destroy us all plot.

  • Once again I’m reminded of Season 1 of Black Mirror. Second episode? Worker drone is “home”, “relaxing” in his sleep cubby and the walls are a barrage of ads. Occasionally he taps to pay credits to shut one down as the rest continue, as casual as anyone scrolling in boredom.

    Or a shut down golden retriever in those old, now illegal learned helplessness experiments.

  • We’re fully Linux now, various distros per machine, so I no longer pay much attention to windows news.

  • I was at my parent’s house, trying to add some items to the smart TV. They started listening to these awful AI interpersonal dramas read by AI, on YouTube.

    My thought was to add some podcasts and their Audible account, for more selections. Maybe they’ll still only listen to that, even so. You can’t add much to a smart tv. No podcasts. No podcast app. A pretty spartan selection of apps. Even something as large and mainstream as Audible. No go. Libby? Yeah, right.

    I don’t get it. What’s the point? Just buy a monitor, jack it into a PC for media, and have everything you want minus this telemetry.

  • I think the main issue is most people don’t know Google is an ad optimization company. If you say it, the reaction is most often thinking you’re jabbing at them, with reason, but that the statement isn’t the base reality.

  • The end love interest of Chakotay resonated badly imo. Granted age gaps of 15-20 yrs were common in movies/TV in that decade. God forbid Hollywood pairs up two people who are the same age.

    I hate time travel, unless it’s Star Trek. I grew up on it, so contextually it’s just part of Star Trek. Anyone else does it and I will stop watching/reading midway through.

  • The way government build contracts work, that addition probably cost tax payers millions. Meanwhile, you or I could contract the work of a inground pool with mushroom for $150k ($125k pool, $25k mushroom/fountain) if Google is to be believed.

  • Wow. Amazing troop support there. Almost like republicans don’t support their troops.

  • You don’t typically have a horse without money.

  • By the lore, you have to be a good person to go there. Jesus reads like a radical hippy. I don’t think Vance qualifies.

  • Idk what’s up with that link, but, it’s the headline, a byline, and a picture of Vance with no links to elsewhere, and a full article on a Hatian kid from Springfield suiciding by traffic after ICE fit them all with ankle monitors. Not that the two stories aren’t linked by topic, but I’m not seeing this Vance interview.

    SOLVED: the reader function hides the whole article and shows you one 3 down from the Vance article instead. That is fail.

  • Exactly.

  • Newman.

  • Most operate under NDAs.

  • Data centers will dehydrate us and all the land. Cows don’t stand a chance.
