Why the “immunity debt” narrative ultimately collapsed:
Over the past few months, the conversation has moved toward the conclusion the evidence has been pointing to for years.
Since 2022, immunity debt offered an easy explanation for the unusual patterns of illness we kept seeing.

I'm starting to wonder how much "the male loneliness epidemic" is just straight and bisexual women identifying low-effort, mean, and incompetent men and choosing not to date, marry, and tolerate them anymore

A lot of people are bringing up that Frank Sinatra, a known mob artist, did not have good politics on many other things and it is the most annoying part of the internet that when I mention pancakes somebody turns up to yell at me about waffles
Frank Sinatra almost got into a fist fight with Bing Crosby on the set of High Society to defend the dignity of Louis Armstrong, who was added to the production due to Sinatra’s advocacy. It’s not hard to find PSAs for tolerance that Sinatra filmed!

Remember folks: if you have any small amount of artistic talent, any sex appeal, or can make your friends laugh, the richest man on earth is crying screaming throwing up because he can’t be you.

A massive problem today is the uneven distribution of shame. Some of us are running dedicated on-site shame servers 24/7 while others have no access to shame at all, even though they desperately need it. What we need to do is put shame in the cloud

Really love how this guy posted this on TikTok thinking the woman who broke his Meta glasses would come off as the villain, as opposed to him, the guy recording her without her consent for social media content via a surveillance device made by one of the worst companies on earth

It's becoming increasingly obvious that there's no real benefit to drinking from a firehose of moment-by-moment information that you have no real ability to influence, beyond the utterly inadequate feeling that posting "takes" into the maelstrom will somehow help the situation.
Even as a Millennial TurboLiberal for whom this website is made I have to admit I get pretty tired of reading about one trillion problems I neither understand nor can solve. "THOUSANDS of octopi are dying off the coast of Madagascar" alright I'm not in charge of that. That's not my job.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

Seeing some people talking about cancelling their Spotify accounts. Good for you! It's a no-brainer really. Spotify platformed Joe Rogan who helped bring a fascist to power. This isn't like rinsing and re-using plastic bags vs trashing them level of ethics here people. Spotify is a very bad company.
