You must be fun at parties.

Really? Especially after lockdown, the idea to specifically communicate in non-realtime with friends/family seems quite useful to me.

Yeah you’re right of course, it is censorship. It just happens to be positive. Although, I’d argue that maybe it isn’t based on political or religious views, rather on not wanting to give someone a bad impression of the fediverse and make them leave again? As in, self-serving interests?

Man I sure wish this’d mean all Trump-generated content and speeches got deleted. That’d be genuinely helpful to the world at least…

That’s partially because like many other words and names (just consider Isis, an important goddess of ancient egypt), “socialism” to most people means the type of absolute control that communist countries usually feature. But of course, as a word/concept, socialism is just the application of socialist policies, not even remotely alluding to some absolute end goal or so. And naturally as a part of society except a tiny minority at the top, most people would benefit from more socialist policies.

What I as a German take from this is fucking hell was McD in the US cheap before. O.o

I mean it inflated a lot here too, but wow.

They mean the nicrotic flesh rotting off later in life, getting a foot or a leg amputated is the fastest way to loose weight after all. Worked a year in a ward for smoking patients, the smell is so haunting…

Yeah in my sister’s town the hospital no longer has a smoking area. Some patients run off into the park behind the hospital to have one, and I guess the doctors and nurses just vape in some room instead.

Why is every news outlet a propaganda organ, but your own eyes aren’t?

Which one is it now?!

Why would anybody bad them, >50% in the US just voted to expand them massively and apply them ~everything. Oh and that money for the masses sucks versus money for grifters only, so I for one welcome Freedom Coin 2025 which rugpulls about 2 weeks after introduction.

Get the NRA (the New Resistance Augmentation) into supporting immunition imports!

And then there’s my ex who after COVID took nearly 9 months (!) to get normal use of their lung again. Fuck people who go all “COVID is bullshit”.

Hrm, the full ERs were easy to find though, news were coming up multiple times a day which hospital is rejecting patients and of doctors and nurses collapsing from 40-80 hours continuous work.

Mass graves… trickier. We tend to not want to be faced with mass deaths in general, which is why we tend to not glorify this as much as we do personal death. They were in the news though, and of course travel to any poorer country and they were/are easy to find.

Ugh, that’s rough.

That being said, like you said, people die. I can’t imagine how shitty it feels but given how the COVID vaccine is the most-empirically-tested-and-documented vaccine and as a result of it’s absolutely insane number uses uses (beaten only by the likes of Aspirin and Ibuprofene and so on), it’s hopefully understandable that we not only know but know with beyond-certainty that it’s side effects are insanely rare and extremely mild.

The reason people can extremely rarely die from a vaccination (and then it happens ~directly after getting it!) is a reaction to the actual injection, not what you get injected with. This has happened in the past, it’s just extremely improbably. There’s also the chance of an allergic reaction but for most healthy adults we would know about this as COVID would be far from our first vaccine we’re getting, and with multiple billions of uses, we know that the COVID vaccine as a whole has no allergic interactions beyond standard ones.

That’s not to downplay your loss, sorry if it sounds that way - english is not my primary language. Not at all. Just trying to illustrate how impossible it’d be for COVID to have a lethal effect without millions~tens-of-millions showing this, simply because we have such an amount of data points.

That is to say, someobody could get a vaccine shot, then go home, and fry themselves an egg in a new pan they bought on the way home. There is a multiple orders of magnitude higher chance of poisoning from the pan because of an undocumented chemical in the coating than from the shot. We don’t have that much data on any particular pan, not even IKEA ones. Orders of magnitude less data.

But he don’t care, because:

• It mostly kills poor people
• He is vaccinated
• His kids are vaccinated
• He couldn’t give any less fucks about people if you paid him for it. And he is being paid to not give a fuck about people’s lives.

How would that work? Who would resolve it?

It’s not, this isn’t from Starbucks. It’s just some shitty-arse app that adds this to ~all the listings on it, probably assuming it to be the default.

I mean migration is a real thing, if your country is so broken and backwards that education is privately paid, might as well migrate to a better and more civilized country?

Get out! :P
