I’m reading this and having flashbacks to me campaigning for Hillary in 2016 and agreeing with people on doorsteps: yeah she’s not great but she’s much better than the alternative.

If you’re not an American, you’re in their servers too.

Now to get kbin/mbin to play nice with Lemmy and show that too

President

Mental eval time?

A dumb phone.

Build it yourself. Stash several mini computers connected to Lora radios around town. Connect to form a mesh all focused on the same fediverse page. Connect wifi hotspots to those servers, connecting phones to the hosted page, not to the internet.
You’d get a localized community site that by design can’t be infiltrated by people from across the country hating on you (e.g., San Francisco and Texas).
No idea on feasibility or how much work, but seems to address your question at least.

Operating parts of multi million dollar navy ships, according to articles. Not joking

But we’re all connected. It just takes one city or county that serves as a petri dish, and then one person to get on a plane, and you have a pandemic

If all of your supporters think vaccines cause diseases, if you’re elected you’re going to need to satisfy them by acting on those beliefs.

I think, in the abstract, you’re right - having any sort of health procedure mandated by the govt is extremely problematic. However hugely communicable diseases are a big caveat to that principle, and we have been doing something about that for a long long time.

Typhoid Mary was forcibly detained because, over and over again, she kept spreading the disease. Several different times, bird flu was halted before it could get too widespread because of govt mandated culls. Smallpox was completely eradicated because of vaccine efforts.

Imagine if in any of those cases people said ‘freedom’ was primary and prevented coercion for vaccines. The death and injury toll would be much higher by today, including those of the young and the immunocompromised.

You an anti vaxxer or a conspiracy theorist?

Wtf

Le Guin died a few years ago.

How many landlords actually do it as a job? And how many just collect the checks and hire bottom of the barrel contractors for anything that involves work? In my experience it’s been the latter.

Air BNB counts as landlording. Charging 100 a night instead of 1200 a month is scummy.

Is it because it’s computer generated animation? That was the vibe I got, similar to a lot of the newer anime. It looks ok but something about it throws me off.

Dae think animation looks worse than original?

Ooh. Yeah. Except do it more body horror. Digital brain signals wired into vat quick-grown specimens

Mine works too. You just need a few data centers of rapidly bred and killed animals (or people) that live and reproduce or die based on how well and quickly they respond to the desired stimulus.
Think millions of rats looking at tiny pieces of a larger problem.

I’d imagine it’s like this, but with chemical-induced early maturation and imhumane selective breeding practices. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=R9OHn5ZF4Uo
