I’m of the same thinking. Delta should be the Modi variant, Alpha should be Boris, and so on.

I dunno, I’m fine with TERFs being villainized given that they’re IRL villains. Though the Amazons were basically there to allow characterization of Hero (the main character’s sister, for non-readers).

What’s great is that Vaughan provides several explanations as to why all the Y-chromosomed died, including magic. I mean the comic was all about the societal implications of a gendered die-off and how women would deal with it, not particularly about the cause.

I mean it could be worse, it could be that other Michael Richards

It’s weird since Critical Theory has general acceptance within most anarchist circles because it shows that structures, such as The State, tend towards disenfranchising individuals based on characteristics such as Race, Gender, Sexual and Ethnic identity.

I don’t buy into essential oils bullshit, but from the hellish descriptions of long covid, if it helped her cope then I say good for her.

Adding 40 meters isn’t going to stop people from exploring, though. It does mean that people that are stuck in a stationary place for long periods can get pokéballs, sprays and revives without having to walk away every x minutes.

355's voice seems to match what I thought she sounded like in my head when reading, so I’m in.

Cool, now roll back protectionist tariffs on large appliances such as dishwashers and washing machines.

I can’t stop reading it as them trying to turn Family into a verb and it’s like a Pontypool level of maddening word salad.

My usual diet while sick is spicy stuff (I rarely-if-ever get GI symptoms), so Delta-Plus and Chili will be exactly what I’ll be doing should it get symptomatic past my vax.

Fair share of delegates want to be politicians. Nothing uncooler than a politician except wannabe politicians.

If something comes out of this, I hope it’s a generation of people that have a better understanding of:
1) Risk Assessment
2) The role of vaccines
3) Science writing

Yeah, it always struck me weird how they weren’t able to do Jon’s chapters justice in the show. They’re always a breeze to get through compared to other slogs (sorry Cat and Bran). But in the show they’re just kind of there. I get that some of it’s budget and runtime, but Kit’s performance never really struck me as…

Well I know what I want for Christmas, now.

Re: Gomez

You have to watch all of them except for ASM2. However, in lieu of ASM2 you have to listen to an Emma Stone sound-alike do an ASMR of you being a naughty puppy.

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one that felt that similarity back when it happened.

Like, they realize that Snow Crash was a corporate dystopia, and those things should be avoided, right?

Ugh, so not the original Metaverse even, but the cribbed, Wish-ordered version.
