No, just looked at 2-3 pictures, scanning for it. Someone else had pointed to that conversation saying he said it himself in it, so it took ~30 seconds.

That most important freedom: freedom of politicians from the consequences of their actions.

This is the classic Roman notion of freedom (arguably Greek as well), that "freedom" results when you own slaves because you are free to expect obligations from them without reciprocating.

I've never read an article claiming that. Millennial life expectancy was trending downwards even before covid, thanks to poor healthcare, high stress, obesity, and drug toxicity.

It owns. People have made that claim but its basically always from places of profound ignorance, usually just looking at global life expectancy in aggregate and assuming that the upward trend is just permanent for everyone evenly.

Falconry guy might have a real claim to be one of the real founders of 4chan, if certain data on internet archives can corroborate it.

I checked out Ontario's guidance for Paxlovid out of curiosity:

Those who have one or more comorbidity that puts them at higher risk of severe COVID-19 disease OR

Like, that's just everybody. Find me someone over the age of 18 who hasn't ever gotten covid and doesn't have any comorbidities. There's probably like 200 people total and they're all on some sort of government list to be ushered into the vaults when the nukes come. This is what people are gatekeeping so hard?

I like Dan Carlin's podcasts even if he's a dipshit libertarian, and he points out pretty well in a recent Hardcore History that western slavery popped up again in a big way because of the renaissance resurgence in interest in the classical world. Wonder how things would have worked out if the big important people hadn't read those classical texts and we got to the Enlightenment without them.

As far as I can tell, yes (I am denied access to Ontario's Pax site, so this is the generic Canada comorbidity definition):

for rich people for whom money and prescriptions are no object, is there any reason not to be on paxlovid constantly as a prophylactic? i guess some people get the weird taste side effects...

If you could afford to be on it continuously, you could afford to get PCR tested daily.

I would say there are multiple reasons, particularly when you can just PCR test daily. (e;fb on that)

In this particular case I don't think Biden can just pop Pax all the time, as I vaguely recall he is on some heart medicine that has to be paused.
