How is this [unverified claim] true if [verified claim] is also true? I am very smart.

I'll mark them as spam even if I technically signed up for whatever bullshit they're sending because I didn't notice the box to uncheck when making an account. It's a shitty tactic and they've all ruined email with it.

America is an incredibly evil country that has done considerable harm to the world in its brief existence.

Thanks @[email protected] for an explanation of how to get to the data:

To get the same visualization in the screenshot:

  • Change Weely Rates to Cumulative Rates
  • Change season to Select all
  • Change pathogen to Combined only

As a programmer, I'd just tell them "I configure contraptions to perform tasks for people"

Most of all, no one relishes watching their loved ones react with annoyance and anger rather than solidarity and empathy as they attempt to survive a new normal designed to infect them. It is painful beyond imagination that so many- even close loved ones- are perfectly happy to cosplay normal even if that normal involves vulnerable groups’ long-term exclusion from public spaces. It is grief on top of injustice on top of dangerous physical harm.

I don't understand where this narrative that Gen Z is sexless comes from. I'm not Gen Z, but like... a song about "wet ass pussy" came out at a time when no one could really go to clubs and it was still a huge hit. The video was so sexual that Ben Shapiro described his wife's pussy as bone dry to discredit the video's legitimacy. People still like tits. People still like ass. People still like dong.

I guess, but does anyone in 2024 think about anything other than the Verhoeven movie when talking about Starship Troopers? The original tweet has a screen cap of that movie that is making fun of people like Auron.

[-] [email protected] 40 points 7 months ago

I'm sorry Auron, I wasn't identifying with the bugs. I was actually identifying with Rico's parents, who were crushed under the consequences of ~~American~~ World empire after begging their son to not go off and fight as a fascist.

I also identify with Verhoeven, who thinks you're a dumbass.

Giving a shit about covid is a big part of solidarity that a lot of people seem to have given up on.

I don't have long covid, but I am chronically ill and this article really spoke to me.

"Every day we hear the story of how long COVID is affecting the way people can connect with others," says David Putrino, who runs a long COVID clinic as director of rehabilitation for the Mount Sinai Health System in New York. "This is a known phenomenon in chronic illness and disability [communities]: that when you first become disabled or experience a chronic illness, your world changes — it becomes smaller. And suddenly, friends and family members who can't easily interact with you stop interacting with you."

Protect yourselves when you can, comrades. It's not a fun life.

A pandemic of heart failures. This is certainly something I've been worried about ever since we found out how much covid affects the heart, scary to see research pointing in that direction too.

I didn't watch her channel, but this is a very detailed write-up about someone's experience with very extreme long covid. I wish we were doing more to find treatments for people suffering.

Pointless? Yeah, it's a luxury.

Inconvenient? I'm not sure I understand that part. You just queue something up as you're getting ready to shower.

Showering long enough to benefit from it? I mean, yeah? For the 10 or so minutes I'm in the shower, I hear some music and that's nice.

I think you might be getting some really bad bluetooth speakers if they sound so bad and are so hard to operate that you find the process frustrating.

Not just the terminal, I mean a full remote desktop. What's the best method? Not just from one linux machine to another machine, but also remoting from a windows machine to a linux machine.

I'm a bit of a linux novice, but trying to do more.

They're both good instances. People have been heavily propagandized to hate communists. You could make the kindest most welcoming space on the internet and if you put the label "communist" on it, it will be hated.

This is so sad and likely a big part of our future as a society. Stay safe out there.

That's not true. You're thinking of social programs. Socialism is when workers own the means of production.

If this was socialism, America would have already done a military coup in Denver.

Yeah, it's pretty underhwelming. There's a lot of people who claim Starfield is a "great Bethesda game" but "people hyped it up too much." In my opinion, it's a terrible Bethesda game. The best thing those games do right is you can set off in a direction and along the way, find a world full of little things. Landmarks, unique little stories, side quests, and even just interesting items to grab. Starfield dropped all of this in favor of incredibly generic proc gen planets that have the same couple of outposts you'll see on every planet. Like THE SAME. The interiors are THE SAME. Every safe, dead body, message log is THE SAME.

It lacks the one thing that brought me back to Bethesda games despite all their flaws.
