Trump was loud about it, while Biden was quiet. Billionaires want people back in the office, so as soon as they could, they shifted their strategy and pretended none of it was happening

400,000 people died of COVID under trump. 800,000+ have died of COVID under Biden The reason Biden can’t touch COVID is that his team spent 4 years trying to get you to not notice that Wrote a timeline of the normalization of forever reinfections here: www.thegauntlet.news/p/how-the-pr...

How the press manufactured consent for never-ending COVID reinfections

Continual reinfection was not the "new normal" Biden advertised. How did we get here?

Depends on why they don’t cast reflections, I suppose. It never came up with Ruthven, Varney, or Mircalla, but Dracula does lack one. Since vampires have some elements in common with werewolves, the weaknesses to silver might carry over and it’s only silver mirrors that cause problems.

Even without that particular meaning, I still really don’t like how the phrase implies improvement without contextualizing it relative to the environment. It implies an evolutionary sort of scala naturae, where some are “more evolved” than others

Any sentence involving “survival of the fittest” that isn’t about how Herbert Spencer was a racist sack with no qualifications to speak about biology

To be fair, many aces do have sex, we’re just not (as) attracted to others sexually, so it’s more like “sex doesnt mean as much” and less “we dont have it”. But either way, I agree it would be a weird argument to make.
