  1. My sister finally got it a couple of weeks ago and the extent of her symptoms were like those of having a slightly-worse-than-usual cold for a few days (Gina had four rounds of the vaccine). Our 78 year-old mother who has been exposed to it repeatedly both in the US and Trinidad either still hasn't gotten it or received it and was completely asymptomatic (of course, she's had five rounds of the vaccine). I'm still COVID-free as far as I'm aware, but I also still wear a mask in public when I go to the grocery, etc.
  2. I see that Moscow's war on Ukraine's energy infrastructure was truly a resounding success. Ukraine to export electricity again after months of Russian attacks WWW.BBC.COM Russia's assault on Ukraine's energy infrastructure led to blackouts throughout winter.

  8. Sony's formal response to the UK CMA's recent pro-Microsoft ruling included citations of decade-old posts from Reddit and the Giant Bomb forum: In the same response, Jim Ryan stated that Sony's business "would never recover" if MS ever released a "degraded" version of CoD for the PlayStation: Jim Ryan: 'Our Business Would Never Recover' If Microsoft Degraded Call of Duty on PlayStation WWW.VGCHARTZ.COM Sony Interactive Entertainment President and CEO Jim Ryan in the company's response to the UK regulator, the Competition [...]
  9. I really, really wanted her to use the name "Skywalker" as a description of a particular type of Jedi who uses Luke's philosophy. If she had to adopt a surname, it really should've been "Solo".
  10. ISW analysis for 06 April 2023: Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, April 6, 2023 | Institute for the Study of War WWW.UNDERSTANDINGWAR.ORG Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko and Russian President Vladimir Putin met in Moscow on April 5 and 6 to discuss further Union State integration, with Putin likely focused on strengthening Russian economic control over Belarus.

  11. Acknowledging the practical reality that it is impossible to determine the near-infinite variety of factors that led to a particular decision really doesn't diminish the notion of the illusory nature of free will, at least for me. If anything, it reinforces that premise as more than anything it demonstrates that we are well and truly the metamorphical "playthings of the gods", beholden to a universe of factors beyond our control and comprehension. In such a universe, there genuinely is no room for free will.
  12. I don't think the list is bad at all. Sure - there are some notable omissions and potentially eye-rolling inclusions, but there's nothing there that seems to egregious in the least.
  13. The "w-word" didn't appear in the title of the video that was posted, but one look at that guy's site and he uses it repeatedly in video titles. What the video that was posted did have was Lizzo with an unflattering facial expression and while the guy's other videos do have non-minority characters also with unflattering facial expressions, he doesn't seem to have a problem with using minority characters in the same context over and over again. That combined with the use of the "w-word"...well, to hell with him.
  14. There's also a manual dexterity component in Sekiro that's not nearly as impirtant or simply not present in the other titles. By that I mean that it's entirely possible to simply lack the requisite physical reflexes to progress in Sekiro.
  15. I have absolutely no words in my vocabulary to describe the seething hatred I feel towards anyone who identifies as a Republican at this very moment.
  16. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING will EVER top Andor. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AT ALL!
  17. The use of the word "woke" in his video titles is all the reason I'll ever need to never want to see it on my board. I have no doubt that there are many thoughtful YouTubers who have more than legitimate criticisms of this season of the show. Hell, even "ultra-woke" ResetERA doesn't like this season at all. But I'll be damned if I'll allow a video by a guy who appears to routinely use caricatured expressions of minorities in the thumbnails for his videos. To hell with that "digital blackface" shit right there.
