Nice. Is your use-case for sys-admin scripting, small stand-alone programs, or just general purpose?

@I_AmTheKnight

Especially at his age there is no reason to sugarcoat things, just say it. We don't need pretty lies.

@I_AmTheKnight @sardonicsmile

Sure, I'm not saying that quality dropped off a cliff as soon as we hit the 2000's. There's plenty of good shit in the 2000's, it's just that pound for pound the 90's left us with more gems.

@basedbagel @37712 @FinalDresdonation

That's an interesting thought. If the vaxxed have fucked up coffee-grain blood what happens to mosquitos who drink it?

How amazing would it be if we learned that mosquitos naturally stay away from the vaxxed?

@I_AmTheKnight @sardonicsmile

Didn't forget, just ran out of space. Those films are also awesome. The list could go on for ages.

@37712

It's gets better with every loop.

@sardonicsmile @37712

He should have stated the other side of that trade. That vaccinated women are experiencing much higher rates of miscarriage, stillbirth and infertility.

Pureblood men should stay FAR away from vaccinated women if they want to become fathers.

@sardonicsmile
Argubaly the 1990's was the Golden Age of film. So many greats which would never have been made 10-15 years later:

The Matrix
Ghost in the Shell
Fight Club
Pulp Fiction
Resevoir Dogs
Silence of The Lambs
Jurassic Park
Truman Show
Braveheart
Unforgiven
Saving Private Ryan

I could go on and on. Suffice to say there's more variety and quality in that brief list than the shitty reboots we've had to put up with in the last decade.

Do it!

@VooDooMedic @basedbagel

I looked at that too and turns out that small islands are the worst, but Middle Eastern countries are not great either and have some of the highest rates. Look at UAE, Bharain etc...

For small islands I think it's high conformity (Gibraltar, Cuba, Singapore), but for some Middle Eastern countries it's "fucking do it or else."

@basedbagel @VooDooMedic

Just realized that Mastodon truncated the link to the chart. That's annoying.

Just tack this onto the link after the word "explorer":

@basedbagel @VooDooMedic

You can play around with different charts and country selections on that site. Gives you an idea of what to expect when the next pandemic hits.

That data is a good proxy for conformity, but not for repression. For that you would need charts on which countries had mandates.

So Australia has high conformity and I'd argue high repression, but not like Bharain.

Tell me what you think about this - more patriarchal countries have lower vax rates.

Hard to prove.

@basedbagel @VooDooMedic

Where to go, which country??

I often think about this. Looking at vax rates is a useful proxy on how conformist a country's population is. Or how repressive it is.

e.g, Singapore is great for all the reasons TFM says, but dogshit when it comes to the vax rate. High social conformity + small island + slightly repressive = high vax rate.

Here's a chart where I selected data that shows the English-speaking West vs BRICS. Just press play.

@mutageno

He's got to be a troll right?

@Pain66

It's time.

@sardonicsmile @Tfmonkey

Thanks. At their best, The Sixteen are without parallel.
