Yep. Imagine being bedridden with a severe illness and when people who don’t understand meet you (which is most people) they go “get up and live your life” or “get up and do X”

A lot of people (even a few doctors!) brain seems not able to comprehend that someone could be sick and not get better ie. chronic illness.

That’s not how it is here in switzerland.

High school is to be well rounded.

In uni 95% of your courses are in your subject matter. Also non-university jobs are well valued. To the point we are on of the only countries where the working class isn’t getting poorer year on year compared to the 1%

Trump recently threatened multiple times to jail zuck. I wouldn’t be suprised if that had an impact on this decision.

This is completely different. Wikipedia tracks users and IP’s who don’t follow their rules, as a website that anyone can edit, they need too.

That doesn’t mean they’ll track people outside of wikipedia on social media.

If you check OP’s account, you’ll see I’m right.

However that statement doesn’t say if OP is right or wrong.

You must have misread my message. I never said that the claims were true or false, just that I’m sceptikal.

Wikipedia gets a million people saying its bullshit every week. I doubt theyll personally track you. But as I privacy nerd I understand your concerns

Don’t have the energy to do the due diligence here and I won’t just trust the headline because I have never heard of this source before. But I will note OP’s account seems to be a single issue account with a grudge against wikipedia.

That’s what high school does (or should do).

That counter point is a classist view that id all too common in america. Not saying you are classist by having that view. But that a system based on that view, which america is, is classist.

I give. But also I talk, I listen, I don’t toss a coin and ignore.

I genuinely take the time to talk to someone. If they seem nice, safe, and don’t strike me as being “impulsively dangerous”, I might invite them to share a meal with me, or to a café.

Obviously I can’t do this for everyone, but when I’m low on money like you, I might literally just invite someone to my home and make them a piece of toast, ask them what their day to day is like, if it sounds like they need an old blanket, give them one if I’ve got a spare.

Global warming will be fucked.

But COVID infections still disable around 2% of people who contract it for life. Now let covid keep on running around for a couple decades and a very large chunk of the population is going to have major issues.

I’m bedridden since 4 years with a lifelong disease caused by a covid infection. And I only see our numbers growing. 2% per infection is the most conservative estimate. The NIH says 5%

Funny how last time this happened the headines were: “Arab immigrant attacks swiss family with machete.”

And now that it’s a Swiss man, they don’t mention nationality or race in the headline.

As someone disabled by covid, I think the world even regressed by covid.

Pre-covid we didn’t have half the population denying that a common virus existed or refusing to get vaccinated.

Eh. Half of that 2.7 billion being put into research into a disease like Myalgic Enceph. (ME) could probably significantly improve the quality of life of 80 million people who have one of the worlds most disabling diseases.

Ah another user to add to the blocklist.

It’s killed tens of millions. And it has disabled tens of millions more. It is absolutely wild how unseriously the right takes it. Horrendous.

Great news for disabled people. Gives us a much better chance at finding a job willing to hire us!

in that sense, agreed

STAT News is generally well respected for medical/research news. I think the point of the article is to criticise the company for not making better foods/medicaid for not choosing a better company.
