Never seen someone with a mind so easily blown.

I mean.... We version ours in the url.

/api/v1/some_enpoint

That way if, for whatever reason, you need to roll a breaking change, you do it in a new version mapped to a new url.

I'm sorry for what you're going through, I've been there before.

Don't these clowns version their API?

He's showing a clear pattern of increasing loss of impulse control. Pretty sure that's high in the list of dementia symptoms.

Yeah, I'm gonna go out on what feels like a very sturdy limb here and say that herd immunity wouldn't be compromised if everyone who could did, and everyone who can't didn't.

And I'm pretty sure that we are:

A) not referring to this demographic in our thread

B) in general, ok with legit medical exemptions, see above for why.

Doesn't anyone remember groklaw? I feel like sometimes only I remember the early Internet anymore....

I wonder how many calories your brain burned trying to get back into the crackhouse that is Reddit. I'm impressed by the sheer height of that wall of text alone.

TLDR; tho

Maybe the issue is that we continually insist on humanizing words and actions like this, and by extension, the people that generate them. Or at least, assuming that the origin of these kinds of thoughts is kin to us.

Studies of the typical C level boardroom execs show a distinct inclination towards sociopathy or outright psycopathy. Monetary success is the reward for empathy-free ruthlessness, and money is the means to spread your genes (a lukewarm hello to Elon and his bound concubines). There is a selection pressure for being less empathetic. Less sentient and conscious of one's actions when framed in a larger context of their effects on others.

This is (to me at least) evidence that they are either at best, maladapted humans, or at worse then initial offshoot of a less empathetic subspecies. We're not privy to recognize the intersections and points-of-no-return in any given species' evolution in nature. We tend to organize it all into a neat tree so we can teach it in biology.

But once, long ago, we had cousins in the genus Homo. It's pretty myopic to think our branch won't ever bifurcate ever again: of course it will (has?).

(Heavy sigh).

I don't know what this says about how we should treat this type of... disorder, from an ethical, empathetic or fitness position. Or about me. Probably enough to make a therapist weep openly about all of it.

At some point though, species eventually compete, but I suppose the silver lining is we'll eventually be unable to produce fertile offspring with conservatives, and they will haaaaate that.

I'm also not advocating that we de-humanize them (a subspecies is still in the same species!), but we shouldn't kid ourselves about a) all being animals that evolved and b) how we're thought of by them.

It seems so fundamental to the equation "how much of a village it should take". To me, that's the only hard metric that matters (not on an individual level, by any means, but averaged out, over the long term trend).

What is the cost to each of us as individuals so that we may all, on average, enjoy a better quality of life than we do today.

Offering a generous tax credit for proof of vaccination ought to resolve the problem easily enough, given the simple-minded and grift-oriented nature of your average antivaxxer.

Mise baby.
