There’s going to be a lot of variability depending on where you live within countries. People in the USA and Canada for example work more hours and feel very stressed. Varies depending on you SES of course. I was very surprised when I visited …

I sure hope he faces charges and is convicted. He’s been harassing people in court all of his life. I hope he gets buried in court cases.

Blind adherence to things is what helped get her there in the first place. It’s all she has. Certainly didn’t have the critical thinking skills to question and was a blind follower of religion and political affiliation all of her life. Sad but true …

A personal story how she got hooked into Qanon through tiktok https://apple.news/AW__u68M4QZCgtnc-KAvr1w

It’s a good question. Obama failed so the track record isn’t good. I guess I’d be making it clear what happened before and that I didn’t intend to make that mistake and that the Republicans new track record would be set very quickly. Give the …

We got about 16 inches of snow in one snow storm here earlier in the winter.

thanks I’ll have a read :-)

I donate $25 a year to Wikipedia. It’s not a perfect company or beyond criticism but it’s doing better than any I can think of.

Hope you’re not implying Earth is an organism. Certainly geological processes will eventually recycle everything and bounce back as it has been doing for the last 4.55 billion years.

Exactly!! So what’s to be done about it? There are a few insiders telling people about it but they haven’t gone viral yet. Heck even I can’t remember their names. Social media needs to be where this is promoted. Wonder how that will go?

I hope you take it to some serious off road areas with it. Have fun!

I’d say it’s similar to how the Christians slowly but persistently get their anti-evolution and anti-abortion ideology into the courts, education system and so on. They just keep hitting every spot and crevice over and over and over, never letting …

Not about intelligence but lack of critical thinking skills. They’re different things. Also have to consider what social Media companies are doing to get people exposed to the crap stuff they hear and read as you’ve said. Add in right wing media …

Yeah the dumbing down of America. Add in Fox News and here you are. Honestly though it also comes back to your Christian foundation. People think faith is something to be held in high regard but it’s to accept things without evidence. Blind faith …

They are thinking like religious crusaders. The Republican Party has brainwashed half the American people to think the Democrats are there to take away their guns, their rights, raise taxes through the roof, end religion and change the USA into a …

I’m amazed at the size of ships.

The Pfizer can be used with a 1 mil syringe but those are in short supply around the world so many countries have been using larger ones. The testing was speeded up, not by taking short cuts but by fast tracking certain things not related to …

They were quick off the gate with large trials. Creating vaccines can be done in less than two weeks but it’s the testing that takes time. You probably know this.

https://www.sltrib.com/opinion/commentary/2021/01/29/paul-krugman-republican/ I found it here. Yeah nothing new but pretty much dead on. If Democrats can’t figure out how to get around gerrymandering they’re screwed. I’d also add that if say the …

I love Krugman and recently finished his newest book but I can’t read this because of a paywall. I’m forever searching for workarounds to read his stuff. Should probably just pay the price to get quality journalism.

I 100% agree with everything you’ve said. I’m personally sitting on the sidelines having changed my investments to cash equivalents. I don’t have that much money yet so it makes it more bearable knowing inflation is eating away at it. My …

I've been recently wondering if people are going to go crazy and party a ton in the first bit. Maybe it'll be a slow return to normal. Not sure of course but I'm curious how it'll affect how people do things and how it'll make certain older ways of …

What I often wonder when I read this stuff is how it statistically applies to people my age (50) and who are quite physically fit and healthy to begin with.

I love taking naps but my employer doesn't love it so much. I wouldn't say they'd argue that it won't increase my productivity but the 30 kids might cause a bit of trouble while I slept and they weren't being watched. I do enjoy a good nap when I'm …

Also add in the real value of this to people at risk. If these vaccines were on the black market I'd think the price would be pretty dang high. Controlling the limited number of vaccine's helps to keep the distribution more ethical - at least …
