  • It would be nice if they could package an annual booster with the flu shot, though I’m not sure of there are interaction issues. I got them both at the same time last year though and just had a mild cramp in my arm which is pretty typical for a flu shot on its own.

    Eris fortunately doesn’t appear to be more virulent than omicron was, but also doesn’t seem to be weaking further as was the trend for the last few varients. It seems mutation with increased transmission over time seems to be the trend.

    Just add it to the annual flu list and make your choice as to whether you want to get your shot every year or not. Not a big deal.










  • I believe his main goal is turning Twitter into something of an “everything” site where he’s looking to combine the likes of Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Discord, and Venmo/Paypal into a single service. I don’t know if it was his goal when he bought it or if it has any chance in hell of working, but that’s something he at least said (while probably drunk) fairly recently.






  • My growing concern for this community surviving is that it develops its own identity. My fear is that it’s becoming a dumping ground for Reddit infighting and not much else. Obviously, it’s early days still, but I don’t quite remember this when migrating over from Digg years ago. I feel like the community mostly just made fun of Digg and went on to post new and engaging content. This feels different, and not in a good way.


  • You’re looking at it from the wrong direction. It’s what age is the cut off that gaming was the norm growing up, and therefore remains a part of the culture at any age. I’m 38 and most people I know, both men and women, are into some type of gaming. I feel I’m already fairly close to that line so if you’re looking at just a decade ahead, you grew up in the 70s and early 80s when gaming was just truly making it’s first rise. For my generation in the 1990s though it was almost an expectation of childhood and making friends. Looks like you have to start dating people in their 30s.
