Only if there was a reoccurring plot line of him being super angry at Worf for ordering ramming speed. “I know you’ve got the whole warrior thing going on but come on man, that was way to much”. Sisko, however, fully supports that kind of move.

The source is that this is how viruses work when in an uncontrollable spread and minor variations start to pop off everywhere. The vast majority go undetected because they’re basically unnoticeable. I’d say go check the Covid thread but it’s been a complete disaster in there for months so don’t.

The point is we’ve had countless media stories needlessly sensationalizing VARIANTS for months and taking quotes from scientists and doctors and leaving out crucial context to imply that vaccines are less effective or it’s more deadly or whatever.

you like to litter each thread with thousands of white noise posts but don’t make up medical facts Shimmy. Pointing out a new variant with some new spike protein or something bad isn’t implying anything about vaccines, you just have extremely online brain and need a break IMO

Most important thing I've learned is there is a gigantic chasm between a scientist saying "we do not know" (because zero studies have been completed around the topic due to logistical nightmares in a pandemic) and the news reporting on it.

Hot Take:

Harry Potter is fine. It’s got problematic poo poo, it’s not high art. It’s fun kiddo lit. Nothing more. Nothing less.

A fun fact I learned from one of the English teachers I worked with as an assistant: outside of proper nouns (like proper names and spell names and such), the percentage of words in the Harry Potter books that come from the most commonly used 1,000 English words is insanely high. Like well over 90% high. Better than your average newspaper article, if my memory is correct.

Which means they can be very valuable as study material for learners of English as a second language. So in a place like Japanese high schools with students that are trying to go from "this is a banana" to some form of fluency, teaching portions of the Harry Potter books apparently isn't a bad idea!

DeSantis is getting around reporting things by somehow not getting covid as the cause of death. so instead of having a high death rate, people are just like mysteriously dying for no reason in rural florida

You know...originally I planned to get the vaccine more to protect other people. I don't have any risk factors and if I got covid it would probably suck but I'd be fine. But I felt a social responsibility to stay put, wear a mask and eventually get a vaccine because I didn't want other people to get seriously ill. Now I feel like I'm getting it to protect myself from everyone else.

I've been asking people here in SC if they're planning to get the vaccine and a lot of them are lukewarm about it or have no plans to get it. And I just can't figure out why. Everyone is so sick of the pandemic, we have the loving vaccines and they're still dragging their feet or refusing to get it.

We're just such a stupid country lol

There was a spate of news stories a few weeks ago basically saying “DeSantis opened up Florida and it looks like he was right!?” and all I could think was that this is the same state that fired someone for reporting accurate COVID data; why the absolute hell would you trust their numbers on anything?
