Everyone in California seems to be sick with respiratory illness. Here's why

Jump

  • Business signs their paychecks and business does not want to do anything about COVID.

    • Taking for granted

  • Yeah, i have a friend like that. Gets paid twice (maybe 3x?) what i do but has no friends and is miserable. Well, things have been getting better for him at least and i've been making more money lately so i guess things are looking up.

  • They won't report COVID. They know who signs their paychecks.

    • US has Delivered Over 10,000 Tons of Weapons to Israel Since October 7th

  • How many pounds has each US citizen paid for with their tax dollars, i wonder? How many people were killed? How much do you have to pay in taxes for that number to average out to >=1?

  • It's absolutely tragic that, at the rate we're going, when the final survivors die off the denialists are going to take over. Knowledge of what happened is already poor today, in a couple decades it's gonna be bad. I wish we would push back against the ignorance more but it seems it requires a huge amount of effort.

    • Iowa governor says it's 'not sustainable' to give $40 per month to kids from low-income families for food

  • I guess she'd rather they just starve...

  • They're a FOSS fork of ownCloud.

  • Also if it's anything like my area there'll be a six month wait before you can get your first appointment so good fucking luck. If it doesn't work out? Well, better hope you have a workable plan B.

    • No. Ffffk them rules and also your empathy.

  • They think having to wear a mask is some sort of atrocity on par with the Trail of Tears, too.

    I admit i didn't think we'd be seeing people just straight up doing whatever they can to help a deadly pandemic.

  • COVID is still more deadly than any modern disease, excepting AIDS and the Spanish Flu, and it's currently killing lots of people. Just because we're having a collective delusion about COVID being harmless now does not make it so. (Nor does refusing to collect data on it.) Reality is still there even if you stop believing in it, etc.

    • Classroom massacre: Survivors say Israel executed innocents in Gaza school

  • Presumably the IDF will explain that they were all Hamas commanders.

    • GOP hopeful blasted for post showing tree ornaments of Democrats in nooses

    Jump

  • So the dude took part in an insurrection where they brought a gallows to the Capitol and said they were going to hang Democrats until Trump got declared the winner. Now he's got Christmas ornaments in the same vein.

    Do i still have to pretend like their conspiracy theories about antifa or whatever are reasonable theories? Like, can we admit these dudes are fascist revolutionaries who want to destroy democracy? It'd be nice to just be honest about it, right?

    • No take backs?

    Jump

  • Yep, the matrix is capitalism (a system of control) and getting unplugged is class consciousness.

  • It's interesting to compare Smith's speech to The Architect's in the second movie. The Architect said "the first version was perfect in every way" or something, with no accounting for the possibility that it was flawed in some way they didn't understand. Given that The Architect was sitting in a TV filled room, waiting for Neo for who knows how long it was probably a blank white room for every person or something...

    • Task failed successfully?

  • Well that's a little skewed imo, though it's a typical way of thinking about things so i don't blame you. It's not that this process can just be replicated worldwide to get the same results, that wouldn't work. It's that he optimized the process to his specific conditions, taking advantage of the tools and opportunities his environment presented. He was able to do that probably because he experimented and paid careful attention to the results. That's the real secret.

    The Western model is to find something that works and then replicate it as much as you can, but if you do that with agriculture it's no good. The conditions of the soil, weather, plants and animals, how all those things play off of the crop you're growing, etc all influence the results and can be different in different areas, even ones nearby.

    What made him successful wasn't that he invented something new to the whole world but that he figured something out that worked for his specific situation.

    • Alaska's rivers are turning orange and no one knows why

    Jump

  • It's more like the article is focusing on the wrong part of this story. The exact mechanism can be debated but we know what's happening and why: global warming. The article just doesn't want to acknowledge that so it focuses on the fact that science hasn't conclusively figured out the mechanism.
