The amount of human misery and death that has been prevented by vaccines is outside the scope of anyone's capacity to imagine, and people who want to reverse that progress are simply monsters

Drunk guy hits a power pole in town and now *Im* getting a lecture from my PS5.

This place is like mid 2010s Twitter, vibes-wise generally and also with pretty much all the specific people I liked. So while I’m happy to see new people joining and the site growing, I also feel like I’ve already seen the rest of the movie…
