  • From another user’s CDC link:

    U.S. Cases in 2024

    Total cases.
    285.
    Age.
    Under 5 years: 120 (42%).
    5-19 years: 88 (31%).
    20+ years: 77 (27%).
    Vaccination Status.
    Unvaccinated or Unknown: 89%.
    One MMR dose: 7%.
    Two MMR doses: 4%.


    So there were 285 TOTAL cases last year, so we’re currently at about 77% of the cases last year. Now, given that we’re only about 18% of the way through the year, and assuming an even spread of cases through the year, they would have only had about 51 cases, so something like 435% as many cases.


  • my anecdotal experience was/is that many medical staff themselves succumbed to vaccine conspiracies, and would freely admit and bitch about masking and vaccines when off the job.

    Not even just off the job. I worked at a surgery center during the first few years of COVID, and I still distinctly remember at least one surgeon walking around the clinical areas with a mask that read “this mask does nothing”. And I’m pretty sure he was seeing patients wearing that too.

    I am still baffled by that, because this fucking window licker had to have taken microbiology, and literally wore a mask every goddamned times they did the thing they trained for.





  • It’s not like the Java server is slow tho, it only becomes a problem when mods are added

    Lol, the java server is dogshit slow, it just doesn’t show until you have a big enough map if you’re not running mods. I played on a semi-public server and was a mod back in the day, and wed regularly have to do world resets because it started slowing down when people got far enough away from the spawn. Hell, even with mods it doesn’t start to slow down immediately, it waits until you’ve done a lot in your world before it starts chugging like dad after work.


  • This guy is insane.

    Pretty sure he’s got “a” personality disorder that makes him crave being in the spotlight, and the dude isn’t smart or socially aware enough to understand just how little the dude knows. Leading him to doing more and more stupid shit to stay in the spotlight and scrambling to unfuck himself after the fact. On some level, it would be funny how he’s been tripping over his dick and failing upward his whole life. Ya know, if he weren’t currently destroying the country and all that.


  • As they should be. Only 1/3 of us tried to stop putting the biggest fucking clown in charge again, knowing how awful he was and was planning on being. The rest either gladly voted for it or could t be bothered to care

    The US is officially a joke and a failing nation. Even if we somehow managed to get someone like Bernie in in 2028, I don’t see our country ever coming back from this. We were already on our way out, but now we’re going to become a pariah state.









  • Blowing up Teslas at a dealership gives both the dealership and Tesla more money,

    It actually doesn’t give them more money, and it’s actually pretty costly if you look at at the situation past a very basic/immediate view of the situation.

    How does Tesla/dealership get money? From insurance claims. Do you think the insurance claim is going to cover 100% of the money the sale would have made, or just inventory value and maybe a bit more for lost revenue? Do you think the insurance company is going to cover list revenue while the inventory is being repurchased and shipped, and any repairs are being made? And if you think they get all of the above, do you really think they’re not going to be paying higher liability premiums?

    as well as makes them have to build another one.

    Which costs them money and time. Both things that can’t be recouped 100%.

    The best way to hurt a company is to fuck with their insurance. Inventory comes and goes, but insurance companies can sink a business by refusing to underwrite. Melon may be able to float without for a while, but the investors will have a conniption of that goes on for very long.
