Uhh I didn't really follow most of that, but Cain and Abel are both fine.
Cain has slightly better growths but his E rank in lances means he can't use javelins (easily fixable). Ultimately, there's no reason you can't have two cavaliers, and neither unit is "bad" by any stretch of the imagination.

Big if true.

Everything.

Shouldn't it be on a daily rotation rather than weekly? By the time the two weeks in between have passed, the US policy will have changed like five times.

Ya, early on during COVID the messages were a bit mixed or imperfect regarding masks because we didn't have enough high quality masks to go around.

The surgeon general tweeting, "STOP BUYING MASKS!" and Fauci going on 60 Minutes and agreeing with a claim that masks could increase your chance of catching it are a bit more than "imperfect" messaging, if you ask me. Early on, their response was to lie and tell people masks don't work in the hopes that it would leave more masks available for healthcare workers, it didn't work and was a complete betrayal of public trust. It wasn't just mixed messaging about cloth masks, they were putting out overt lies, many of which would become staple talking points of the anti-mask movement.
Anecdotally, I have a brother who's a bit of a weirdo politically but he was 100% on top of shit with COVID and early on he had liberal coworkers making fun of him for wearing a mask to work because it went against CDC guidelines. When the CDC did a 180, it not only discredited them but also discredited ordinary people who were trying to do the right thing and follow the science and pressure others to do so. If you're bullying people for wearing masks in February and then bullying people for not wearing masks in March, people stop listening to you and start pushing back, and "pushing back" often meant becoming antimaskers.
Yes it was generally also privileged reactionaries but as someone who cares about science I find it outrageous that these institutions peddled anti-mask nonsense and in a sane world they'd be held accountable to restore public trust. Unfortunately the only people looking to hold them accountable are the reactionary anti-maskers, for all the wrong reasons. Individuals should also be condemned and shamed for not complying with the correct guidance, but scientists and health officials also have a responsibility to act with a higher level of integrity.

Bill Maher is a social experiment to see just how right wing you can be while still having Americans consider you to be "on the left."

You could say that but you could also say that they're biden their time


The cross is obviously a T, making it "MST3," unfortunately he didn't have enough room for the K.
Fr tho I have no idea the logic behind a cross being 1 and a skull being 3.

The vibes on RedNote aren't so bad.

But isn't that the whole reason that the concept was developed in the first place? It's not very sound to come up with a hypothesis to explain an observation and then rely on that same observation to support the hypothesis. The concept needs to be able to predict and explain new observations, or else it has no utility and is still essentially just a placeholder.
You talked about, like, "vibes-based reasons," but is there a reason to accept the explanation of dark matter aside from vibes? If it's just about feeling satisfied that you have an explanation for the phenomenon, that's vibes. Like, relativity, you have to accept and account for or GPS wouldn't work nearly as accurately as they do. But everyone could reject the hypothesis of dark matter and it wouldn't really change anything.
Explanations for things are a dime a dozen. There's no real value in having an explanation (other than personal satisfaction, i.e. vibes) for something unless that explanation helps you to make predictions or manipulate objective reality in some way. That's not to say that it couldn't, at some later date, meet those requirements, but at this point dark matter is barely anymore useful than saying a wizard did it - a hypothesis that also explains the observations perfectly well while being only slightly less congruous with the rest of our understanding of physics.

Dark matter is a case of giving a phenomenon a name and then thinking that because it has a name you've explained it. Dark matter isn't really an explanation, it's essentially just a placeholder to say, "Our equations suggest there should be matter here but there isn't, so maybe there's some kind of matter we can't observe? Or something?" It's not an answer or an explanation, it's just a term for an unexplained phenomenon that guesses vaguely about it what might be, and until we can verify the existence of dark matter through other means and explain why it defies other observations, it's little more than a placeholder and cannot be treated as settled science. This isn't really out of line with the mainstream view, the mainstream view is just that there aren't any better explanations (yet) so that's what we're stuck with (for now).
