Ah yes, disabled people are defective and should be cared for in special facilities for their own protection - lets call them wellness resorts. Also they should be prevented from having children and perpetuating their defective jeans. Also they should have to contribute to their own upkeep doing easy jobs like picking cotton fruit. Also depressed people are defective too soo…
I dont really know what the solution is.
The harder you mandate it, the more people will get nutty about it.
I do feel that anti-vax nutters are internalising the benefits of vaccinations (by benefiting from herd immunity) but externalising the risks (by enjoying healthcare when they get sick).
In Australia unvaccinated kids dont get government support for things like day care or parenting payments et cetera.
I employed a young woman who was earning $700 a week buy paying $500 a week for day care because they refused to vaccinated her. They were living on the husband’s salary. It seemed pretty bleak to me.
Like in Australia you need to save every dollar to buy a house or retire. Sure you can have a few baubles but no one can afford $25k a year for this kind of idiocy.
Of the 111 outbreak cases, 105 were unvaccinated, three were partially vaccinated, two had an unknown status, and one case was fully vaccinated
Sorry Americams. I didnt really want to visit before you self-nazified. Certainly dont now.
Wow I hadn’t actually realised this had changed, but of course it has.
I remember watching “beyond 2000” as an 80s kid. A TV show about the inventions and stuff, what life would be like, it was so amazing.
Now we all know the future will just be more oppressive than it is now.
this is kinda daft.
The diagram suggests that the far right are really more like centrists.
The reality is that “centrists” are usually conservatives (or further right) but trying to sane-wash their position.
Here in Western Australia we’ve just introduced new cameras to address this.
The penalty has always been very steep if you get caught. Like a third of a weeks wage, and if you got caught 3x in 3x years you’d lose your license for a while.
That said, I dont actually know anyone who had been caught.
6 months ago these new cameras showed up. Its actually on a boxy trailer, hi-vis reflective yellow, a vertical boom going up 5 metres or so, then extending horizontally over the lane.
They’ve been issuing warnings up to now. “Here’s the photo of you using your phone, usually you’d get a penalty but we’re waiving that during this introductory phase”.
The penalties will start shortly.
Honestly anyone who doesn’t notice one of these things on the side of the road has the situational awareness of a spare tyre and shouldn’t be driving an e-scooter let alone a car.
No, it’s not unwise. Mozilla has no mechanism with which to surveil your activities built into the browser.
That said, you should avoid categorising companies as generally trustworthy or untrustworthy. Any given service will have privacy considerations - some may be important to you, others may not.
I’m not denying that, but the comment above is talking about a story about a woman discovering she’s a bot,.
Lately there’s been someone chopping chives every day and posting a photo of the result.
There was a bit of a drama when someone noticed that the same photo was reused from a couple of weeks back.
The poster said they didnt have time to do it that day but wanted to keep the streak so they just re-posted an old one hoping no one would notice.
It was just such an amazing and engaging sequence of events and I feel fulfilled having been able to follow this roller coaster of emotion /s.
Bob only thinks hes human for about half a page?
I use redlib to lurk.
I find the drama subs like /r/AITAH entertaining. I know its all fake, but the groupthink responses are intriguing.
Plenty of countries with lots of hungry people.
The thing is, you would need a big chunk of the population to enter hardship at the same time, rather than merely being in hardship at the same time.
Loads of people have been unable to afford groceries for a long time.
To topple a regime you need the oligarchs to really start to hurt, so they withdraw their support.
I can’t really see that happening in the foreseeable TBH.
No. I’ve actually been watching the POTUS tear apart the US democracy piece by piece while idiots whimper on social media about dreamy ideas divorced from reality.
I said, have you been under a rock for the last year?
I wish I had your faith.
This stuff has been going on for almost a year with this kind of limp wristed wet lettuce response.
Half of America thinks things are going great.
Even with a change of government I cant imagine there will be a great repeal of all th bad things.
Have you been under a rock for the last year?
I think its great that countries are excluding themselves on this basis.
However, im not surprised that the contest has remained agnostic and that israel has not withdrawn.
No you don’t. You’ll just split the vote.
Americans are too stupid to collectively be aware of the problem
Don’t fuck this up.
