Yep, that’s how it goes with the anti-vaxx movement.

Gen 0 - lived with the reality that multiple people they knew died because of viruses and lined up to get vaxxed when they became available. Then went on to get their kids vaxxed because human ingenuity found a way to curb suffering.

Gen 1 - grow up and got their kids vaxxed because, while they might not have seen it first hand, they remember stories from their parents and were horrified. “Thank god we’re found a way to stop it!”

Gen 2 - get their kids vaxxed because they aren’t stupid, and it’s just become a routine part of raising a child.

Gen 3 - have the luxury of being so far removed from the horrific impact of these preventable virus’ that they decide vaccines should be optional because… “Don’t tell me what to do, science nerds”

“OPSEC lol what’s that some kind of new meme-coin?” - DOGE

Yeah, reading between the lines, it sounds like the poor guy was not in any condition to take care of himself and likely had no idea what was even happening to him for that week. What a horrible way to go.

Meh, I’m not so sure. We need to get used to the fact that reddit’s fuckery is unlikely to ever re-produce the massive influx of new users that the API nonsense did in 2023. That was a one-off thing that drove out all the OG users. The people left on reddit are the types that refer to it as an “app” and probably don’t even know old.reddit exists. Those kinds of people will grumble but they aren’t going anywhere. And frankly, that’s fine by me.

Yep.

So much respect.

Meh. Only suckers give a shit about the “generosity” of billionaires. Tax them. Tax them down to millionaire status. Why should they dictate what programs get funded? It’s never worked before… it’s not suddenly going to start now.

I mean, your own tumblr link is proof of that. After all, Gotham’s still a crime ridden shithole, isn’t it? Clearly Bruce Wayne doesn’t know what Gotham actually needs.

I miss the good old days when reddit admins still pretended to be part of the community. Anybody remember the “when this post is [x hours old] reddit will go down for [xyz]” posts? Then the admins were in the thread cracking jokes with everyone about the fact that their servers were powered by hamster wheels and they couldn’t afford a programmer? Oh how the times have changed…

I miss when tech entrepreneurs just wanted to get rich and retire young instead of becoming real life James Bond villains. Tom Anderson got a generation to learn HTML, got Rupert Murdoch to hand over $580mil for a social network that’d be dead within a few years, then had the decency to peace out and travel the world enjoying his photography hobby. No evil schemes. No fascism. Just pretty pictures.

For the avid readers out there, bookwyrm is a fantastic alternative to goodreads.

I’d say he looks more like a raging alcoholic clown.

They also released two “inspired by the movie hackers” albums that were just as good!

Nice username.

“Mess with the best, die like the rest.”

I mean, I do have RGB lights but it’s not because I’m a software engineer. I’m just a dork.

“My people came to me, [Director of National Intelligence] Dan Coats came to me and some others saying they think it’s Russia. I have President Putin, he just said it’s not Russia,” Trump said. “I will say this, I don’t see any reason why it would be.”

• Donald Trump on Russian interference in the 2016 election after privately meeting with Putin (Helsinki, Finland 2018)

This is only growing worse and the fact that we haven’t done anything about it only emboldens bad actors.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Tucker Carlson is a traitor and a Russian asset.

Dear [x,y,z] snowflakes

I like it when people let you know right off the bat that they’re a shitty person who’s about to say something stupid.

“It’s just a job, Michael. How long could it possibly take to find a new one? Ten minutes?”
