Is the premise of the movie that a bunch of humans decided to live with aliens who are at a stone-knives-and-bearskins technology level while still being totally dependent on high-tech respirators to breathe? Sounds like suicide with extra steps.

hahaha the first few paragraphs own

quote:

The White House is preparing for as many as 100 million Americans to get infected with COVID-19 during a wave this fall and winter if Congress does not provide new funding for vaccines and tests, a senior administration official said Friday, warning new money is needed to have enough vaccines for everyone.

A senior administration official told a small group of reporters on Friday that the estimate is the median of a range of models from outside experts that the administration consults, meaning it is also possible significantly more Americans catch the virus, especially if there is a major new variant.

That compares with the roughly 130-140 million Americans who are estimated to have been infected over the omicron wave this winter, which led to a significant spike in deaths.

130-140 million infections over the course of like three to four months, the population is going to be so loving sick a few years from now jfc

4. Use your wise mind…
Our minds have three different states. The logical mind is where one approaches a situation intellectually and makes decisions based solely on facts. The emotional mind is where one approaches situations using feelings and the wise mind is when one makes decisions based on the balanced combination of both the emotional and the logical minds. The wise mind allows people to recognize and respect their feelings while responding in a rational manner.

They speak of the wise mind yet they have clearly been consumed by gem hunger.

Yeah, same. I don't know how I don't get it this wave either from my wife giving up masking at work (especially since she has another out of town training in a few weeks where I'm sure she'll do indoor dining again) or my kid getting it via daycare since they are fully masks off.

Our oldest didn't go on the big 3 day field trip for his grade level because of covid. The principal took covid seriously until the CDC said let er rip, but told him he was being dramatic and we his parents were feeding him unhealthy COVID horror stories rather than the truth.

Anyway he didn't go, the trip was a super spreader event, school is begging parents to mask their kids now, and his teachers have said he probably had the right idea not to go.

But we got the email he was exposed by a classmate that did go last Friday and I need to test him when he gets home today.

Cool.

Here comes babbys first sober shitpost of the day op, buyer beware.
I'll see if I can express why I think you are a bit upset.

Civilizations just tend to ebb and flow, most of the points you list have been arguably par for the course in some shape of form, on a more localized scale, for centuries on end at times.
Sometimes tolerances/interactions between societal phenomena get so hosed up the local equilibrium just collapses, but we tended to forget about this pretty quick for reasons I shall not insist on since I'll assume you went to school.

The main differences with this cycle are :

1.This one is important op. This time it's your turn to go through the system.

2. We have so successfully and nonlinearely accelerated the growth of our footprint vis a vis the carrying capacity of the system whilst simultaneously reducing our resilience to dealing with outlier phenomena because of the needs defined by the economic doctrines that we have wrought and so, the things on your list are no longer quite as local, or temporally interspersed as the books recorded them to be. Also, the books are now the internet, so you get to look at plenty of cats whilst still getting plenty of exposure to the awareness of the ebbing of the tide at a comparatively greatly accelerated rate from your comfy goonstation gamer bed if you so choose, but I digress.

3. 1+2 => 12 and there's plenty queens out and about for the last half century that think we hosed around so bad the planet will just scratch us and our entire history from its back like so many lice and that COVID is just a singular aspect of the ebbing of our tide.

4. People have been getting boners like cathedrals and crying hot tears in their knickers over apocalyptoporn for thousands of years, so I should just go to the UFO thread and pray for the rapture and you should get some mild COVID, move to Germany for your abortion, and get on with your life.

Yeah you thought my posting was bad when I was drunk didn't you. So many things we shall witness yet. Namaste.

(Eagerly awaiting the :words: quote culminating in "this poo poo sucks , just bring back Rime already")

I'm sitting here just kinda hoping that the kid's daycare has an outbreak in another part of the building that scares them in to mandating masks again without her getting sick and also hoping for basically the same thing at my wife's office where they have a big outbreak but like... down another hallway and not involving anyone she interacts with a lot. And I blame both of these situations squarely on the CDC and the Biden administration.
