    TIL american public support for requiring vaccines against infectious diseases dropped from 81% in 1991 to 51% last year

  • Unfortunately, that's not how vaccines work. They only work if the stupid people and the non-stupid people all get vaccinated to create herd immunity.

    Kinda the same deal as COVID. It will affect the people getting vaccinations, too. And some regular people cannot have vaccinations, for good reasons. So, this affects people outside of the group of stupids.

  • I've found that Imposter Syndrome is really common. Even people that I admire that are rockstars in the industry I'm in also have Imposter Syndrome.

    Maybe the weirdos are the ones without Imposter Syndrome?

  • When you say "we" have you charged through the walls like the Kool Aid Man? Cuz' I was just looking up my state and county offices to possibly run for something. It's a pain in the ass, but it's important. I'm tired of calling my House representative and getting ChatGPT-generated Republican talking points emailed back to me.

  • "That is a fucking idiotic idea."

    Attacks the idea, not the person. Probably will be the same result, because they probably were a fucking idiot to believe that stuff, and they are very attached to stupid ideas.

  • Have you tried some good alternatives to meat? Like, try seitan* crumbles in a taco. With all the spices and other toppings it's really hard to tell the difference. Also, I find it almost impossible to tell an Impossible Whopper with Cheese from a regular Whopper with Cheese, after all the glop they put on it. I know those are both bottom-of-the-barrel meat choices, but maybe branch out and try a thing or two. If you don't like it - no biggie.

    I've tried casually dipping my toes into the vegetarian pool with just occasional meat substitutions. Occasionally I find something that's "No way" but more often than not, I find something that is also really tasty. It's not meat, but it's also tasty in a different way, so I don't miss meat as much. I've found vegetarian dishes I actually like. My biggest problem however is getting enough protein in my diet when I start eating mostly veggies.

    [* Seitan only if you can handle gluten. Because, it's like 100% gluten! ]

  • Oh, that is definitely true in the U.S.

    Also, I've found that rail travel is inconvenient in the U.S. I can't confirm, but it seems like the Amtrak only comes through my (Midwest) area once a week, on Wednesdays or something like that. So, if I plan a trip, I need to plan around.

    Midwest to the East Coast is so much cheaper and faster by air. I want to travel by rail - and you'd think it should be cheaper - but it's totally not.

    Part of it, I believe, is that Amtrak leases the usage of the rail lines from the shipping companies, so it must adhere to their schedules of shipping freight. The USA spends so much on upgrading its highway system; if they used a fraction of that money towards rail travel we would be set. But certain companies keep lobbying Congress to keep us locked in a model where we are totally reliant on cars and gasoline.

  • Instead of AOC (however much I love her and her message) I'm thinking Whitmer would be better and has a great track record. Walz would be stronger than AOC, if they let him hammer 'em with his wit. Andy Beshear would totally freak the GOP out and would be a great choice.
