The rona timeline in Billions is truly bizarre. Most of the staff is vaxed before the stock market crash? I feel they could have used the hiatus to work up a storyline better than this.

Sovereign citizens claiming to own random houses and moving in may convert me to NIMBYism.

I feel if I were Y the last man, I would make better life choices.

Should it be legal to post "I have covid" on Instagram? 18 months later, we have an answer!

Zoomers think they invented saving 50000 files to the desktop.

Ugh... "24 hour vitamin C." The myth of you need vitamin C, therefore infinitely more is infinitely better lives on. Now with "clinical studies" which curiously don't seem to be linked anywhere.

Kinda embarrassed to even link it, but here it is.

The Bow Persistent.

Let me tell you about the most amazing things ever.

A thread.

I like stuff.

One of the things I like is amazing.

Hang in there.

It's unbelievable.

I'm going to tell you about it, but it's almost too amazing for words.

Take a moment to consider the most amazing thing you've ever seen.

Okay, are you ready? I'm going to tell you.

Just checking. Wanted to make sure you're prepared to be amazed.

Here we go.

Fully justified text.

Totally worth the wait, right?

Lol, I thought the people in my breakfast cafe weren't wearing masks because they were following the vax rule, but today they had a sign out that freedom comes from the people not the government, so now I'm thinking I may have misread the situation and been an inadvertent mask protester.

I think if we're being honest, the government telling us two shots are so safe that they can be mandatory, but a third shot is too dangerous for me to take voluntarily, is pretty alarming. That's a pretty narrow margin of safety.

Zoomers on the internet are like, I'm so smart, I failed the math question about measuring four gallons with a 3 and 5 gallon jug on purpose. If only they'd seen die hard with a vengeance, they'd know this is an essential life skill.

Buried lede in this story about a woman who was working so many hours and couldn't find transportation so there's no way she could make it to a clinic: she was vaccinated in May. Kinda undercuts the thesis that millions of underprivileged Americans want the vaccine but haven't had a single day off in six months.

Instead of using the flashlight on your phone to read a menu in a dark restaurant, and blinding all the people nearby as you wave it around, take a picture in night mode and zoom and read at your leisure.

In ten years, thinkpads that sleep reliably in openbsd will be worth more than bitcoin.

lol, your laptop cannot be trusted to sleep quietly and requires adult supervision at all times. Truly, the era of smart devices.

Oof, somebody trying to parallel unpark their car with about 4 centimeters clearance.

We should turn all three unique comments about google banning user content into NFTs so it's easier to pass them back and forth.

I mentally twitch every time Lana del Rey sings "vittamin".

But how will I know the deep state isn't lying about how hot the steam vents are unless I touch them??? Stand by, gonna do my own research.

There used to be a Wendy's in philadelphia, but they tore it down, leaving only the floor.

Location: 39.9489 -75.1591

Oh, s#!t, it's happening. The Wendy's traffic circle is really ending.

lol, somebody decided it was too hard to make a list in markdown so they just uploaded a png of a text list to wikipedia.

New startup: vegetarian creatine sourced from GMO peanuts.

Ah, awesome, GNC has joined the ranks of companies outsourcing customer service to other customers by emailing them questions from strangers. Somebody wants to know if the creatine I bought contains peanuts.

Will the Foundation tv series include the retconned in robot continuity?

Really hate it when the poll worker says "no, you can't vote twice" but they're wearing a mask so it sounds like "sure, just come back wearing a hat and sunglasses" and then you get blamed for just following instructions.

Somebody moved out and left moving blankets hanging in the elevator, so now we will have moving blankets on the walls until the end of time. Hurray for diffusion of responsibility.
