I think the real problem is we keep marketing the vaccine as a critical security update when what we should really do is market it as a free DLC with new powerups. – at Los Angeles, CA

RT if you feel really terrified about the political direction our country is heading in. I’m curious to see how widespread this feeling is.

It starts with a bit of recreational reaming, followed by some experimental tapping. Then before you know it you're mainlining raw cutting fluid in a room full of lathes. Just say no.

Paraphrasing a friend, the following applies to security and performance alike: "1. Stop doing the stupid things. 2. Start doing the most basic useful things. 3. Do not think about the clever things until you run out of 1 and 2."

The Sound of Music has led generations of children astray. Do is not a deer. Re is not a drop of golden sun. And Mi has nothing to do with me, and everything to do with an 8th-century poem to St John the Baptist. #thread

Why is it that the U.K. is at 190 cases per 100k and Germany is at 36? That’s the question the government should be asking itself and explaining to the country the answer.
