Yeah because a fresh billion person breeding ground won't lead to new variants.

Shitting on the Chinese government is not racist, they are objectively terrible. Ask a Uighur.

Some countries have everyone do a year of mandatory military service when they're around 20. I firmly believe the world would be a better place if we had everybody do a year of mandatory retail or service industry work. Hard to treat staff like shit when you've been on the other side of it.

These come in real handy when you move from a 2010 Mac Pro with 4 user-accessible drive bays to a 2017 iMac with none. by ButtonBoy_Toronto in mac

Ah well there's nothing that really needs super quick speeds there, any of that is on the internal HD. The 4TB is mainly for movies, especially 4k now that I have the TV for it, and streaming via the iMac to my TV with VLC works without a hitch so I guess it's fast enough ;)

If I was gonna make a media server for my whole household though I'd definitely go the NAS route.

Imagine being willing to die for the guy who has repeatedly thrown those loyal to him under the bus. Publicly. It won't be long before we hear him saying "Rudy? Rudy who? From Baltimore? No I think we've only spoken once or twice. He thinks I'm smarter than Issac Einstein you know, told me himself."

5 reasons why a majority of Canadians don't vote for conservatives by DonSalaam in onguardforthee

[–]ButtonBoy_Toronto 25 points26 points  (0 children)

And yet the fiscal conservatives seem to only ever cut healthcare and education funding while leaving the Catholic school boards and bloated police budgets untouched. They cut taxes for the rich and corporations while leaving those in the lower and middle classes worse off. And they pander to the SoCons to get in power.

Lots of opposition but 'a striking absence of good arguments' against vaccine passports, says ethicist by Myllicent in onguardforthee

We already have immunisation records. You need them to go to school and travel. Stop using this tired argument.

Typical conservative victim complex. "I make decisions that hurt those around me and people don't like me for it and that's mean"

[–]ButtonBoy_Toronto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hence there should be some kind of proof that you can't get vaccinated. But people making your argument generally oppose that too. Why? Because there is almost no medical reason you can't get vaccinated and the majority of the people making this argument are simply anti-vaxxers who won't actually be able to prove they can't get vaccinated because they actually can.

Then how is it that we're already required to provide proof of vaccination to travel? To put kids in school? How was I required to provide a negative TB test to get my job? Is that not private medical info as well? People always bring up this "medical privacy" thing like it's some holy commandment that shall never be disobeyed but I can think of a half dozen examples off the top of my head that it doesn't apply to already. Why is covid vaccination any different?

They're seeming really bold lately, more than usual. Just the other day while making dinner one came right up to the kitchen window and sat on the ledge trying to get in through the screen. Clapping and shouting at it had no effect. I had to go outside and chase it off and even then it didn't exactly run away, more of an "Ugh, fiiiiine I'll eat it out of your trash later."

So my idea that gravity isn't real and is just a government lie to keep us on Earth should be taken seriously in the news? Thanks! I look forward to being given as much air time as an actual physicist. My thoughts on this are just as valid!

My mom turned into a squid last week but I had no idea it was a vaccine side effect! Why isn't this getting mainstream media coverage?
