For example: Oct. 18 2021 I submitted Poll: Do you find Humanity's lack of science-faith disturbing? - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28908797

Had a lot of fun putting that together. I thought 13 comments was pretty good for a submission that didn't get a single upvote. (Edit: 8 comments + 5 of my responses.)

In December 2021 my brother went for his first 'boost'. His wife shook her head. I don't know if he went for a second boost... In November 2022 he said he was done getting boosted, that he felt like crap for a few days after every jab.

Almost 2 years later, the only people who are going for the new bivalent boost are people like my father, who still believes what the talking heads on TV tell him.

For example: On April 6 2022 I commented about Ukraine... said it looked like Russia was 'beating the shit' out of Ukraine. The comment ended up at -1 and flagged: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30933899

Here it is a year later. I think Ukraine has 400,000 casualities. NY Times says it's around 500,000 dead and wounded: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/18/us/politics/ukraine-russi...

This was the perfectly-obvious-outcome-at-the-start, but not to everyone. I want to do an Ask HN: How can NATO lose gracefully in Ukraine?, but I don't think you all are ready to admit that F-16's also worthless, and it's more important for Humanity to figure out how to get along, than for the U.S. and the U.K. to finally defeat the Soviet Empire once-and-forever.

Is it worth the possibility of nuclear war, to keep Ukraine's old borders intact?

Vote me down, so I can become more powerful than you can possibly imagine. :)
