Start a physical gathering. There are lots of us that want to meet and aren't obsessed with corona. I hold regular weekly meetups and have done so throughout the last few years, it…

MMOs with markets in them. RuneScape and friends. It taught me that money isn't really that hard to get, you just have to repeatedly care slightly more than the next person.

I honestly, really do despair at reading this sort of stuff. We knew. We knew in March. We knew _straight away_, we knew that supply chains would fail, all sorts of cascading failu…

Wealth is just another axis. You may well have pretty friends, learned friends, tenured friends. Married friends, hippie friends. ... One person can't even be all of this at once. …

You're just describing the fact that there are, well, different people. I am a local in the town I live in. I like to meet new people. I organise meetups for locals, tourists, trav…

Sigh. I'll spell it out explicitly for you. France: About 150 deaths per day, 200K cases per day. UK: About 150 deaths per day, 200K cases per day. Same population size. Massive de…

Sure, your take is a bit overly harsh though. I don't think, with the exception of the odd mentally ill crackpot, most people do do this. Like, you don't see QAnon theories about s…

Sure, so just ignore them. It's really not hard to identify stuff that makes no sense at all, and having to manually filter through that stuff is worth it if it means being able to…

Well, you can. France are doing it. They are having 200k daily cases. So it's not really "or", it's just "and". You can either have everyone gets corona, or you can have everyone g…

Most of those issues are due to choices like quarantine and lockdowns. In the UK we have issues with driving tests because everything closed down "cus Covid". Except the virus had …

You're not, you can hide inside forever. In the real world we accept risk vs reward. My neighbours having a kitchen knife in their house presents a nonzero risk to me, and that's a…

This seems intuitively obvious to me. You're selecting for people who care less about health at all costs. Different group, but I'd expect anti-lockdown/restriction people to have …

Facebook and friends were screwed before they even got going. I find it amusing that people use "getting news from Facebook" as a slur. It's stupid, but for entirely the opposite r…

But we do need more energy. Energy can fix essentially any problem we have. Need to desalinate water? Energy. Need to heat your Arctic home? Energy. Being able to use energy in cra…

Social media has basically turned the world into a sort of bizarre mob rule situation when it comes to unpopular opinion. I think that we have a responsibility to speak out on matt…

Well sure. I apologize for using the word "everyone", I'm using it as a colloquialism. We're not far off 1 in 5 _confirmed_ in the UK and most of that was pre Omicron. Based on the…

Let me know next month, I guess.

Drunk driving is not _that_ dangerous. Even at quite a high BAC level you end up around 10-100x more likely to have an accident. I believe that, at least in terms of personal risk,…

In fact the opposite is true. If everyone gets coronavirus in a two week period, ICU is less overwhelmed for the rest of the year. A lot of susceptible people die, of course. If yo…

Well, when you invent a slur and define it to mean whatever you want you can find many examples of it. I have had three coronavirus jabs. I think mandates are hysterical and counte…

Moving from 100% infected to 100% infected is not a reduction. At some point, there is no realistic difference between R=10 and R=7. Everyone is getting this. Some of us have known…

Except literally everyone who interacts with the outside will get coronavirus regardless of whether 100% of us are vaccinated or not. So no, it doesn't. You may as well say that ex…

It is completely ludicrous to compare nuclear testing with doing maths on a computer.

The OP is not talking about "legitimate" transfers.

Cool. I don't want there to be a way for you to stop me from sending data, so I'm going to work on that. All I'm going to say is, good luck. You're fighting against your entire fie…
