  1. Putin was never hiding that in his opinion Ukraine has no particular cultural significance or uniqueness
  2. If you watch interviews of Muscovies they want to exterminate Ukrainians some people didn't even have problem with saying that Ukrainian children should be murdered
  3. there are already brutal attacks on Ukrainian civilians and many documented war crimes
  4. nearly a million of Ukrainian kids were kidnapped and sent to Muscovies, that's basically a textbook example of genocide

Do you believe things will get better if they have full control over Ukraine?

Yeah, in case of Ukrainians they know that if they surrender it still won't be over, the next thing will be killing them and moving them to far east until the Ukrainian identity is completely erased.

I have less discipline than you, and still check periodically, specifically /r/news and /r/worldnews but I see that in doubt it less and less and it feels like lemmy/kbin communities is growing and posts are becoming more active.

I think though, that because it is decentralized, there should be a mechanism to group communities to prevent the fragmentation. So then subscribing to the group would subscribe to multiple communities.

None of your definitions match Ukraine, which attacks military targets during an active war started by a nation that invaded them.

Now, Russia actively bombing civilian targets to generate a climate of fear in a population to bring a particular political objective, seems to awfully match that definition.

Maybe, but interestingly it comes and goes, and my immediate family also says that they feel tired at the same time.

No, I'm not testing and I doubt it would even show positive. I don't have any cold-like symptoms, and tests, test my mucus.

It's not like what you described having covid, or even my first covid.

Perhaps I should not say that I had covid, but instead I was exposed to it multiple times and my body naturalized it before it became anything significant but it still caused those symptoms?

First thing is that, I am taking immuno-suppressing drug regularly.

Second thing is what is happening to me is (depending how you look at it) minor. I don't get cold symptoms anymore either (although I my first covid was just runny nose). The primary thing is that I get that mentioned tiredness. I think most people would chalk it up under having a bad day / not sleeping enough etc.

The thing though is that when it happens it comes with few other symptoms that I had when I had covid:

  • flare up, causing joint pain especially in the morning
  • first day there's a light diarrhea (also nothing concerning on its own, and following day is normal)

And those three things always come together at the same time.

Yeah parent poster added the masks into the comment, but the study did not mention them, but as the study says, the improper hand hygiene is responsible for large number of food poisonings.

Why the study doesn't talk about masks? Likely because it was done before pandemic so no one wore masks in that setting. Second thing is that generally they are concerned about serious diseases and if somebody would report catching a cold from eating at restaurant will simply be ignored. People are also less likely to report because it's harder to be sure where cold came from.

Though if diseases transferred via dirty hands caused 41% of outbreaks, then I believe it's safe to say that air borne disease is more likely to transfer that way, it's just a kind of diseases that no one cared about until we had covid, and only in 2020.

Yeah, it's not. From my experience in the restaurant that I visit (in LA) I see maybe 1/4 or 1/5 that still wear them.

As a parent of a pre-K kid (for those who don't know, daycares and schools for young kids are grand centrals for microbes) I no longer get sick from covid, but I can still tell I got it, because there are specific symptoms I'm still getting from it that are quite annoying. One of the worst is that for few days I feel just extremely tired. If I have nothing to do, and I can just sleep that time off. Working during that time is no fun.

So even if mask reduces chance of getting that by half, it is still worth it. It also would help employer as being tired at job one won't get as productive as they normally could. And this is just my experience, and other people have it worse.
