Just going to go ahead and be fucking annoying for a bit: COVID wouldn't have happened if everyone were vegetarian the 1919 Flu wouldnt have happened if everyone were vegetarian There is a good chance AIDS wouldnt have happened if everyone were vegetarian We shouldnt farm animals for fur either

It took me SIX TRIES over like two years but I finally beat Hardcore mode minecraft. Way harder than I ever wouldve guessed because there simply is just so little room for error the entire way

Preaching to the choir but housing situation is such bullshit. Started looking realized pricing is somehow 10% higher than when I looked last year. Fine I'll factor in a roommate. Ope fuck you, 11% property tax increase. Fine I'll start working overtime. Nope, fuck you, 1.5% interest rate hike

Quoting my infinite wisdom from my college days when I was already way too drunk and somebody asks me to take another shot: "aint nothing stop the Cole Train, baby!!!!!!"

Do you guys think it's too late in the season to start training for half marathon (If I want to do it this Friday)

I once had a roommate who was 34 and I swear she said "Cole I'm too old for this!" all the time Drink on a weeknight? Cole I'm too old Stay out past 10? Cole Im too old for this Pickup game of volleyball? Cole do you realize I am 34 years old But... I plan to be doing ALL of this (intensely) at 34

Did a dem seriously just try to introduce federal regulation trying to regulate BB guns as firearms? I didnt think they could get dumber on firearm laws but omfg lol this would at least retroactively makes sense to Minnesota Dems declaring .17 hmrs were bb guns last year

There is ironically a lot of people at the Czech Slovak festival wearing... Vikings (Scandinavian lol) merch

The more I learn history of the Byzantine empire the more it just feels like my life: it's just a series of massively hard fought wins that are immediately undone by absolutely unpredictable horribly timed critical hits

My "Justinian brings the empire to glory followed by his successor fumbling it to near death" was quitting my job right before COVID started

An actual case in point to not wasting the opening seconds of your Spotify as by introducing yourself: An ad break starts. Im already reaching for the f5 key. But in the two seconds it takes me to do so, I hear the words "Wendy's just released an emo album" and fuck, that grabbed my attention

Rest in piss 343 studios, 15 straight years of ruining one of the most successful and well loved video game series of all time due to world record levels of pure incompetence and apathy. you will not be missed

Probably the thing that makes me most roll my eyes at the current state of the c*vid conscious movement, it used to try to be data based &is now 100% emotion based Probably the funniest reply got last month was one saying I was going to die. Any idea how low chance of death is in endemic conditions?

Despite the fact that the best available data shows zero, zip, nada difference between paxlovid and placebo for preventing long term effects from infection. But ofc people got mad at me for saying I regretted taking the v expensive paxlovid that had side effects worse than c*vid symptoms lol

Sure it's dangerous yet, disabling is much more likely and frequency of lc is still in the air. But death? It's clear these people don't actually look at data anymore. Also had a science writer claim masking was a silver bullet despite the fact that one way masking is shown to be fairly ineffective

Everything in this story is exactly why the COVID conscious community lost the battle so fucking hard and why we accomplished zero real public mitigations in six years. Virtual signalling over reality www.bostonglobe.com/2026/09/22/m... Nonpaywall archive.ph/2026.09.22-1...

And, as I can attest from last month, the majority of the community continues to be EXACTLY like this despite the fact that the strategy of "Being an absolutely collosal fucking dick to absolutely everyone" has proved to be a losing strategy

I have decided to quit my job so that I can go back in time to 5th century Constantinople with 27 pallets of nerds candy where I will make a killing selling them as "Edible Rocks"
