Cardiovascular disease mortality rates have declined by around three-quarters since 1950, but we rarely hear about it.

And all as a result of the evil science that Trump and the MAGA dipshits are busy destroying.
It’s weird to think if it were up to the Covidians, the world would still be halted and we’d be stuck at home to this day.
True. Total dipshit behavior as they are glad to harm themselves and everyone else as long as it also hurts someone else they hate.
Only absolute brainless knobs do something like that. Unfortunately, that is who is in charge now. Hope a decade-long depression is worth not having to see someone who vaguely looks like a man in the woman’s bathroom. (Hint: It won’t be.)
We need to do something about straight women’s misery in their hetero relationships.
The thing is, most men are just as miserable if not more so — and for good reason. I’ve seen it myself. Men are just a lot better at hiding it, because they must.
Neither gender is doing well. Too many women have expectations that no one and nothing alive can meet. Meanwhile, men treat their women partners as servants or bangmaids. Women resent being treated this way and men with equal justification begrudge the fact that women will punish them severely if they express the least emotion or doubt.
I have no idea why most het couples stay together. None. They all treat each other so terribly. And yes, women are just as guilty as men — I’d argue women are now even worse than men since feminism turned so toxic. Though the responsibility is still quite shared, to be clear!
The Covidians are terrible people all around. The fun police found something they thought they could remove all joy from the world with and are so, so incensed that it didn’t quite work.
The Covidians are also all phone addicts and degrowthers. Just total losses as human beings.
This wasn’t just corporate shills, though there were plenty of them. Despite the fact that AI has been used in all ATS platforms extensively for years now, clowns would climb down from the rafters to tell you how absurd it was that AI was being used anywhere.
I wonder why this propaganda op was so important, and why it was so successful?
By the way, I have firsthand knowledge of this, and yes ATSes and related systems (and hiring managers) use AI all over the place to sort, reject and classify candidates.
Trump fires commissioner of labor statistics after weaker-than-expected jobs figures slam markets
And so the major (even more than already occurring) faking of statistics will begin.
It only gets worse from here. But we won’t know how bad any longer. Soon, though, you will be able to judge by how many people are sleeping in refrigerator boxes on your street.
what in the fuck
I was playing Pokémon before 6 if I recall correctly, if not, other games that require reading
good to know that there are people in the US that think this should be super illegal https://t.co/WMnTk6Krhu

I was reading at 3. I could read but not fully understand National Geographic, Scientific American and other magazines at 4-5.
At seven, I could read and fully comprehend any adult books and magazines. I read Moby Dick at age eight and loved it.
Fuck that clown.
I think that depends quite a lot on how many rockets were routinely fired from the first picture. If you were standing in the first picture firing rockets at my family, then I’d have no problem with producing the second picture in response. https://t.co/B4v07GEmJC

Exactly. It’d be even flatter than that if I had anything to do with it.
Prudishness and pervasive propaganda. The propaganda has worked and the prudishness was an added bonus for the powers that be.
Russian state media has declared Russia's intent to exterminate Ukraine through genocide:

And all the good little Putin-worshipping libs tell me the Russians just want to enclose the Ukrainians in their warm embrace because those Russians filled to the brim with bonhomie and good cheer think the Ukrainians are “really” Russian.
Idiots. Useful idiots.
In reality, the agenda is genocide and the embrace is one of white phosphorous, Semtex and thermite.
The right’s hatred of solar and wind power is deeply stupid and it makes no sense at all. There’s a reason China is installing more of these power types than anything else.
As of 2024:
China has over 600 GW of solar now, while we’re still crawling with less than a third of that. And slowing down due to utter fucking moron MAGA clowns.
Solar and wind are now super-cheap, efficient, and far cleaner than fossil fuels. Despite a lot of you living in the late 1970s, they’re not some hippie pipe dream. Nope, it’s hard economic pragmatism. Even authoritarian regimes know renewables are the way to go and in fact are the future.
Get out of 1979, idiots.
Solar has real land-use considerations but this graphic does a good job of contextualizing that demand compared to what we devote to ethanol, which is good for farmers' bottom line but does not at all accomplish its climate raison d'être. pic.twitter.com/jkqA7dGVay

This always makes me laugh when doofclown dipshits say things like, “But solar uses sooo much landddddddd!”
Compared to the worse-in-every-way ethanol, nope. And we’re already wasting land on that. And another difference is that solar is actually good.
It’s the disorder for me, too. I just have no tolerance for it anymore. I go into the city at least once a week and I always see some yahoo doing something ridiculous and I think to myself every time that I’m glad I don’t live here, anymore.
I like access to sandwiches and… https://t.co/wTnjGYYGnl

I too have far less tolerance for that kinda shit than I used to.
The idiot liberal idea that wild-eyed vagrants can have a little assault as a treat is so fucking insane. And #MeToo went right out the window when it was the so-called unhoused perpetrating sex crimes, didn’t it?
Even apart from any political considerations, I despise hypocrites.
That is pretty stupid and clueless.
I understand IPv6 just fine and have set it up from scratch many times in large networks.
So I can very confidently say that it really sucks. It was designed in the 1990s before we understood any of the problems we’d be facing in the 2020s. And it shows. It’s creaky and ill-suited to its actual use. It has security assumptions that aged poorly (IPSec everywhere? Sure, Jan.) and features that will never be used. It’s mostly cruft and useless crap with some ok functionality if you’re using dial-up.
First, its human-unfriendly addressing makes diagnostics, documentation, and training way harder. No fucking one alive can remember or understand just by looking at it what 2001:0db8:85a3::8a2e:0370:7334 means or does. (For my non-techies, that is an IPv6 address, like 192.168.1.1 in IPv4).
Additionally, no matter what you’ve read, NAT actually is a great security feature and IPv6 only begrudgingly supporting this is clownish and harmful1.
The crack I made about dial-up earlier was actually leading to something. IPv6 was designed long before cloud-native networking became a thing. That means it was created when it was implicitly assumed that all hosts had one interface and one static address. These days, containers, VMs and ephemeral workloads are dominant. IPs change all the time, get re-assigned and altered, sometimes every few seconds. IPv6’s assumption of a static architecture makes it poorly-suited to dynamic cloud environments.
Also, for we admins, things like stateless address auto-configuration (SLAAC) and router advertisements give us less control. We actually need this control and visibility for security and observability. Allowing IPv6 to do its black-box magic is not any advantage for us. It is in fact actively harmful and makes networks much harder to secure and administer.
IPv6 also assumes end-to-end connectivity is a good thing — that everything should have a public IP address and be on the public internet 24/7 (related to my point about NAT above). Bro, I don’t want my washing machine or toaster on the internet. Trust.
Subnetting in IPv6 is also absolute crap. “Just use a /64 everywhere!” Why, god, why? This just adds complexity, not reduces it. Insanely dipshitty.
And don’t get me started on the fucking idiotic link-local address. For those not in the know, in IPv6 every interface gets assigned a link-local address to talk to its neighbors. This is bad! It’s not routable, is a security hole, it causes problems in logging and diagnostics and with multi-hop while being confusing and inobvious to most network admins.
Of course, IPv6 also replaced ARP with NDP. This inefficient-as-all-hell turd of a protocol has more useless steps, a larger (and difficult-to-audit) attack surface, is far, far more fragile and requires complex (and also fragile) firewalling. The clowns replaced a dumb but reliable protocol (ARP) with an insecure, “smart” but fragile one. Great job.
It also has crap DNS integration. The designers back in the 1990s assumed we’d use an IP address for everything. Hostnames and DNS were an afterthought. Meanwhile, DNS is used for absolutely everything these days.
IPv6 also makes network planning far harder. Global prefix delegation, renumbering, and prefix lifetimes are a goddamn nightmare. Get it right the first time or you are screwed (ask me how I know).
And, related to a point above, IPv6 was designed for well-structured pre-built networks with planned addressing, stable routers, and consistent ownership. That means it really does not work well with mesh networks, ad-hoc clusters, cloud VMs that spin up/down in seconds, serverless functions…I could go on.
IPv6 is like giving a skateboard to a donkey. Sure, theoretically it might be able to get wherever it’s going faster. But what the hell is a donkey going to do with a skateboard in reality?
