No idea, I didn’t copy it from somewhere.

“It used to be, when I were a kid, that everybody got measles. And the measles gave you lifetime protection against measles infection,” he said, then taking a swipe at the vaccine. “The vaccine doesn’t do that. The vaccine is effective for some people for life, but for many people it wanes.”

“Some”=97%, “Many”=3%
And you know what the vaccine also doesn’t do? Kill you!

Ladies and Gentlemen, may I introduce the United States Secretary of Health!

A Tsunami of unprecedented size will completely destroy a coastal metropolis.
A heat wave in the middle east will leave hundreds dead in the first recorded wet bulb event.
In September 2035, the Arctic will be completely ice-free for the very first time, 15 years ahead of predictions.
Around that time, the first commercial shipping route along the north-western passage will open.
One of the first container ships will run onto a naval mine and sink, killing all hands. Russia will deny any involvement.

Chile got rid of their dictator without a revolution, in a typically Chilean way.

Pinochet came to power in a military coup, which broke a decades-long tradition of stable democracy that was unique in South America at the time.
It was a proper bloody South American coup, including a bombardment of the presidential palace, the death of the elected sitting president, and backing from the USA, of course.
Pinochet then abolished the separation of powers, disappeared his political opponents and completely dismantled the democracy.
He also enacted neoliberal hyper-capitalist reforms and privatized everything, which is why the USA backed him.
He had a commission draft an entirely new constitution and pushed through a vote to get it approved.

But as a fig leaf of international legitimacy, there was a clause in it saying his power was transitory and must be confirmed in a referendum after 8 years.

After 8 years of brutal dictatorship, he lost the referendum and simply had to step down.

There’s no reason to believe we will ever run out of long dead bodies buried underground that we can burn for fuel.

It’s about a village in a rural wooded area in France that has a tight-knit isolated community, no cell phone coverage, and 6x the national average murder rate.

It can make its way. I’ve been here for 2 years, and it’s like a more civil and chill version of reddit.
With a lot more genuine interaction and less of the same fucking haha-funny comments in every thread.

Linux isn’t just getting better in comparison because Windows got worse.
Linux is so much better now than just 10 years ago, it’s absolutely incredible.

Oh boy, I should get on Mastodon!

IT’S FUCKING R!

The Germans wanted that, but the US told them that their nukes stationed in Europe will only be allowed to be loaded onto a US-made jet.
So in order to not lose a large part of the current nuclear deterrent, and to not strain relations with the US, one of Germany’s closest allies, they agreed to buy the F-35.

So the US can pull their own troops out.
