@inpc id say the issue has far more to do with nedia.
@ABScientist less of a choice society makes, more about the nature of evolution and disease. Sadly its just how evolution works, its a shame we cant make a huge difference when it comes to these things. Sadly some people will always be high risk and die.
@ABScientist genes certainly play a role. But no in my case that doesnt apply. In fact my response was quite typical, everone on my team was tested regularly and we all had similar results over the 2 year period.
@inpc while agree a time delay is helpful i dont think it describes the issue, and its not a social media thing either.
People talk face to face and used to be civil despite no time delay.
True, the GOP is ok with a rapist and the Dems are ok with a creepy old dude who touches little girls on stage inappropriately (such as holding their arm as they try to get away as he sniffs their hair)... Neither Biden nor Trump is anything people will look back on and judge us favorably for.
@ABScientist COVID is quite common without symptoms or issues. I have had it 8 times now because I worked as a scientist with patients so I was tested often. Of the 8 times i had it I presented no symptoms of any kind 7 out of those 8 times.
Only reason they are showing up positive is because its just so common to present asymptomatically. In fact you are probably around hundreds of people in a day who would test positive but have no symptoms.
Can you point me to the source where Trump said "terminate the Constitution of the United States.".
At some point in the collective minds of people we stopped understanding the difference between attacking ideas, vs attacking the people who hold those ideas. People assume if you hate an idea someone holds by extension you hate the person. If you think an idea is idiotic then you must think people who hold the idea are idiots.
We need to get back to the place where people dont take personally when ideas are attacked.
There is absolutely a very small minority of the religious community that would probably be ok outlawing condoms. But its a huge leap to go from that to suggest the majority of the GOP would push for that if given the chance. I highly doubt the majority of the current GOP would vote to outlaw condoms if given the chance right now.
I think we all know, without invoking project 2025, that the republican agenda is to do away with healthcare. As for restricting contraception, depends what you eman. They certainly would want to restrict it in the sense of not requiring employees or even healthcare to support it. But I highly doubt many republicans want to make condoms literally illegal.
Not saying thats any better mind you. But lets not sound like conspiracy theorists here or else we will loose respectability in the points we make. Generally invoking "project 2025" probably isnt in our best interest particularly when we already have enough info just invoking the GOP manifesto itself.
No doubt higher temperatures and new records are becoming more common, no doubt. But my point is there are records of florida being colder than points int eh arctic circle long before recent times is all. My point is just that its a bad metric since its not all that extraordinary.
Yes it is. I dont get the relevance of pointing that out. Did Vance say something recently I'm missing for context? I dont give much attention to democrat and republican childishness so i may be out of touch with something.
That works fine when servers play by the rules... a spam server is likely not to. They will just mass spam people and change their domain every hour, and it effectively becomes unblockable in any effective way.
The only reason that isnt more of a problem yet is because there isnt much commercial interest here yet. But if this place were popular that would be happening a lot and the only way to effectively stop it would be to switch to a white-list mode.
You will care when they start spamming everyone with commercial ads and traffic.
That said you cant reasonably expect to keep commercial interests off an open-network. So I am not suggesting there is much we can do to stop their existance. But we can, at a minimum, block the ones that spam,a nd avoid joining the ones that are commercial but maybe not spamming/advertising on the network.
If it were against Biden Trump was the clear winner, he doesnt even know where he is half the time.
But I agree against Harris I dont expect Trump to do too well, that said, im not sure if Harris will do any good herself but it really isnt hard to beat Trump (unless you have dementia, lawl).
