You realize that that still means vaccinating the unvaccinated first is the rational thing to do, right?

Not exactly. Per the NYTimes:

Dammit, Bethesda! If you have to do another remaster, do Fallout 3 or Morrowind, for god’s sake!

They did that with the Kurds and they were pretty awesome fighters......and U.S still fucking abandoned them. The U.S will always hang non-american allies out to dry. Even now, they’re not gonna dispense with the red tape and a lot of people stupid enough to trust the word of grunts or worse, spooks are never getting…

Does Biden’s “Stuck with Trump’s plan” include being so rushed and half-assed that we not only didn’t secure Afghanistan’s military, wait for their winter months but also didn’t secure our own fucking arms, loaned and on bases? Trump’s Taliban appeasement forces us to do that, huh?

Yep. We’ve done exactly what we’ve done every single time we get in this situation. Solicit local help, promise them safety, then ignore them when we bug out later.

Clauses to pause by. When that’s your lead in, don’t bother finishing.

You haven’t been paying attention (or don’t have the rightwing relatives in your social media feed). It’s been years already that “Snopes doesn’t prove anything they obviously have a liberal bias...”

Also, who is gonna bust their ass for a record knowing someone might be lurking in the bushes with a better one already? Kills the drive to compete when you don’t know your goal.

I don’t come from a journalism background, and I know that plagiarism is wrong.

Imagine going to the Olympics, winning a bunch of golds, then being told 15 months later that actually there was another competitor (who you were on good terms with) who was actually competing in secret in the same events and beat not just one or two of your performances, but 15 - 17 of them. That’d be scummy af,…

he wasn’t preventing anyone from trying anything. if I’m capable of beating a current record I’m not going to say “well I’ll wait until someone submits an even better time so I can challenge it

The issue is that he benefited from other people’s discoveries and advances, but kept his own hidden. This is obviously unfair to players who do publish their records, and thus help other players get better.

The mistake youre making is likely the same thing he was thinking when he came up with this stupid plan. That the entire communities behavior revolved around him, existed because of him. But thats not it at all, people wanted their own records, their own super tight best possible times, and their own integrity as…

While I don’t think Matthias should’ve quit, it is hard to reconcile the idea that someone you were friendly with, shared tips and tricks with, and communicated with on a semi-regular basis would go out of their way to hide the real records for over a year while everyone else was doing their best to beat lower ones.…

Based on the article it’s considered good form to announce new records as they occur. So by doing the exact opposite of that, the new WR holder was being shady. Not cheating, but being shady. It lacked honor basically. If it wasn’t shady behavior the new WR holder wouldn’t feel the need to apologize or say he feels…

The thing is, you’re not going to beat all the records at once normally.

No, that’s not true... Let’s say I hold the official world record. Why would I continue to spend time racing on a track where I hold the record, when I could instead be trying to get the record on a different track?

The way I read it, Rustemeyer would try for a record that Burbank had, beat it, and then move on to the next one. He does this 17 times total, thinking he has 17 records, only for Burbank to reveal that he had even better records than Rustemeyer’s that he hadn’t revealed. Had Rustemeyer known, he would have tried to…

It’s akin to sandbagging. Instead of an incremental and sort of “Real time” organic progression of records, it’s sudden and demoralizing and considered a dick move.
