    Every single time Bill Gates gets mentioned in public conversation this needs to be the first thing said about him for the rest of his life. Given the power Bill Gates has he could have easily pushed for Covid vaccines to be made generic and saved tens of thousands? of lives.

    This isn’t some pipe dream or unrealistic 20-20 hindsight no one could have had. All he had to was decide it was important to advocate for it and use his power to make it happen. It was no guarantee, but more than anyone else on the planet he has the public, private and monetary unilateral leverage to make something like that happen.

    Given the complete lack of desperation or forced choices in Bill Gates life, the choice not to push for generics (and be a talking head on tv actively against them) can and should be seen as indiscriminate mass murder on a societal scale. In terms of world impact it obliterates everything Bill Gates built with windows, computers, all his philanthropy and involvement in medical science… ALL of it in one tidal wave of violence and brutal lack of compassion.

    Makes me angry when I hear dumb conspiracies about Bill Gates when this is aspect is sitting there right in the open and it is so much more evil than most of the conspiracies (you know what is worse than having a chip in your head?Your loved one dying from Covid).






  • I don’t find Slay The Spire that ugly artwise, I don’t find it beautiful… but what I do find ugly is how terribly Slay The Spire uses screen space. It has an AWFUL UI in terms of using space intelligently for important bits of gameplay information and I would love to play it on mobile (I play other deckbuilders on mobile a lot) but I will never touch it on mobile for that reason.
