@alexisvl Maybe I'm taking this too personally, but I actually like minimalism so much that I keep my flat in this aesthetic. I have never even been to starbucks and I seldom even order food, or use any services like that, so maybe too broad of a condemnation?

"Zespół naukowców pod kierunkiem prof. dr hab. Dariusza Jemielniaka z Akademii Leona Koźmińskiego wykorzystał możliwości, jakie daje internet, do zbadania trafności „prawa Godwina“ w praktyce. Przebadał blisko 199 milionów konwersacji na Reddicie (uważanym za największą platformę poświęconą dyskusjom ) i pokazał, że w dającej się analizować rzeczywistości prawo Godwina (analogii do Hitlera) nie działa."

subtoot, art?, literal neonazism 

Posting a comic by stonetoss cricizing censoring art because of the creator's views is
uh
actually incredibly internally consistent.

Also an impressive illustration that internal consistency is not everything you should expect from a position.

@2ck Are they even ostensibly for newbies' sake though? I know very few developers who could tell me from the top of their head tha information a bug report should contain in broad terms, and remembering to actually use that knowledge in the moment is even more challenging. And thanks to these templates it's not (much of) a problem! So yay!

@freemo With 2 my point was the droplets that are captured by the mask would likely enter either your nose or mouth in the couterfactual, thus this cannot be _worse_.

Regarding 1 I doubt you wouldn't touch your face at all in this situation without a mask (e.g. wiping you mouth?), but I also don't generally drink or eat much when I'm out and about, so maybe I lack expertise. On the other hand I don't think that many people do this a lot anyway (maybe it's different in the US?).

Agreed on 3, the only way this can be worse is if you actually get a significant increase in infection risk when masked. This means that 1 and 2 not only have to be true, but they need to have significant effects.

@freemo I think for mask-wearing to increase infections in the model you are presenting here three things would have to be true.
1. The frequency of touching your face with a mask has to be significantly higher while wearing a mask.
2. The risk of moving a virus from a surface to the mask would have to be significant.
3. The lower spread of the virus from infected people to the environment would have to be insignificant.
I am slightly doubtful about 1, not because people won't touch their face a lot while wearing a mask, but rather people touch their face an incredible amount normally – this was especially clear at the beginning of the pandemic, when the recommendation of avoiding that was first voiced, and people who tried that were incredibly surprized at how hard it was and how often they violated it.
I base 2 on the assiumption that if the virus already landed on the mask it would have likely already entered an orifice if the mask wasn't there. If that's true how long the virus survives on a mask is mostly irrelevant, only how likely one is to move it there from other surfaces.
Point 3 might only be true if we assume that any preventive effects of the mask are either nonexistent (possible but a priori unlikely; I agree that the studies here are disappointingly inconclusive) or made irrelevant by moving the virus from the mask to surfaces, which again hinges on points 1 and 2 being true.

So if my reasoning is correct the only situation in which a mask would likely increase the chances of COVID infection is in a well-ventilated place in which someone infected was recently and touched the exact same surfaces as you (or perhaps the mask they were wearing did nothing to prevent the virus spreading from them onto surfaces), and you are touching your face much more than you would without the mask. In particular wearing a mask in a place that is not well ventilated seems like a pure positive, as far as decreasing the likelihood of COVID infections goes.

@freemo COVID mostly spreads through air, while the resoning you present is for fomites. Unless I missed some controversy around the first part of the previous statement? @spazzpp2

@fantasminha People use "bug" to mean "thing we want to do", the problem here is they decided they don't want to do something that probably a big part of the userbase wants. @esm

@mkljczk Wyklucza najwyżej ludzi którzy trwale nie mogą się zaszczepić z powodów zdrowotnych i jednocześnie nie mają dostępu do testów które pozwalają uzyskać certyfikat. Lewica popiera szeroko rozumiane zwiększenie dostępu do służby zdrowia, które by pomogło na ten problem, choć nie umieścili tego w tym projekcie.

@mkljczk To są wyniki ograniczeń praktycznych, nie? Nie ma certyfikatu który by obejmował wszystkie szczepionki, nie ma certyfikatu którego by się nie dało podrobić (tego to nawet w teorii by nie mogło być, ale i tak podejrzewam że ten problem jest marginalny, już pomijając to że wyprodukowanie takiego certyfikatu już jest nielegalne). Jak się chce zadbać o dobro wspólne w postaci zdrowia publicznego to jest to jedna z bardziej realistycznych metod. Jak inaczej byś proponował sprawdzać wyszczepienie?

Polityka, szczepienia 

@mkljczk Pozwól, że zreformułuję pytanie by odpowiedz stała się bardziej oczywista: "Od kiedy uzależnienie praw obywatelskich od działania na rzecz dobra społeczności stało się lewicowe?". To że po drodze trzeba przyjąć produkt koncernu farmaceutycznego jest tylko praktyczną konsekwencją tego - jakby ci się udało zdobyć kubańską szczepionkę i jej użyć to chyba lewicowcy by się nie czepiali.

@freemo I understand that you might not want to spend too much time on this, but a single example of an actual far-left position that is similarly softened in the comic as the far-right ones would be very appreciated – I really am unaware of them (or impressivley effectively lying to myself?).

No too much pressure if you really don't want to though, I know you should probably concentrate on resting and growing your bones back together. ;)
