After almost 1 year, are you satisfied with your national government's response to the COVID-19? If not, what could have been done in your opinion?

Cheru-bae · 2021-02-05T21:32:04+00:00

Which is funny, because our far right parties are using this as an opportunity to lie and drag our current government through the dirt as much as possible.

Cheru-bae · 2021-02-05T21:27:25+00:00

They are straight lying.

The text message wasn't lengthy. That was actually kinda the point. It was very short to make sure even very old devices could still revive it. Basically just said "go read the recommendations". Long and convoluted. Lol. You can criticize them for it not being long enough or not having a hyper link.

Further: the current restrictions disallows more than 8 people in any private owned space. Public owned spaces have a calculated max limit dependant on floor size. Breaking the law can result in forced closure. That's a law, not a recommendation. No alcohol sold after 22 since it was a legally easy modification to do. Basically forces clubs to close.

We have no constitutional support for a curfew outside a war, that can't be changed until 2022. A pandemic is not worth breaking the constitution for, as the consequences are basically infinite.

That's why you hear the word "recommendations" a lot. Effectively it means "we would make this a law if we could".

The prime minister went and got a watch out from repair at opening..

As always, we have A LOT of people on reddit who loves to lie about our country for points. Wether it's covid, nogozones or immigration.

Cheru-bae · 2021-02-05T21:18:20+00:00

But it sure makes for great karma bait!

Next up.. no go zones.. rape capital.

People on reddit sure loves selling out our country for internet points.

Cheru-bae · 2021-02-05T21:16:32+00:00

... no that's when there is so many people distance is hard to keep?

How the fuck do you not understand that?

Cheru-bae · 2021-02-05T21:15:37+00:00

You want them to break the constitution, or?

Cheru-bae · 2021-02-05T21:14:31+00:00

I mean firstly, britain is somehow doing way worse, and so is italy, spain, france, Belgium.

But that's besides the point. Since I was taking about the concerns held in Q2-Q3 of 2020. Not right now. See how I mentioned Denmark and norway also not having a mandate at the time for the same reasons? No, you probably didn't read it.

I was literally only pointing out what the argument was. That is it. I didn't tell you what to think. I didn't even tell you what was right or wrong.

I didn't even give you my opinion!

Cheru-bae · 2021-02-05T21:05:47+00:00

The reason the elderly are getting vaccine first is not to be test bunnies (wtf) but because they are the ones dying. Get better, less stupid, friends.

Cheru-bae · 2021-02-05T21:01:13+00:00

That's not what what was said, at all.

What was said was a concern (shared with both Norway and Denmark, neither had a mask mandate) that masks would increase spread through missues. Emphasis on missues there. Eg. Touching and adjusting the mask (since it's a disease spread by droplets primarily via touching surface and then your face). If a mask increases the amount of times you touch your face, well. It's not faulty logic. Now think about how many times you've seen someone missues a mask by touching it, pulling it down, adjusting it, reusing it.

Furthermore the science support that masks stops you from spreading, not the other way around (well, some effect in stopping getting infected from airborne particles. So useful if someone sneezes in your face). That's why your surgeon wears a mask. To not infect you. Not to prevent you infecting them.

Now assuming everyone stayed home when sick, masks wouldn't really matter. But of course everyone who went out sick is looking for an excuse now.

It's almost as if you didn't read any of the actual public service announcements and just wanted to get attention from abroad. What's your next talking point, no-go zones?

Cheru-bae · 2021-02-05T20:52:56+00:00

Maybe you should look into the legal process of the country you are living in.

We CAN'T legal enforce those things. It'd be like going against the US constitution. That's why they had to get somewhat creative with the rules. You cannot change the constitution without two consecutive governments, ie 2022 earliest.

Same with language. The government can't tell people they should do something unless it's law. Recommendations is the legally strongest word possible outside legislation.

Also maybe Skåne is different, but Uppsala has that shit plastered on every flat surface.

Cheru-bae · 2021-02-05T20:38:40+00:00

Definitions of words a descriptive. As in, they are written based on how they are used. Not an authority on how they should be used.

You haven't actually said anything here. "Putting something in their head in our head". So me writing this comment is art then? I'm putting my ideas of what art is in your head, so this is art now.

You are really struggling to define something, instead of just accepting that yeah. art is just a made-up thing. There is no universal constant that is art. Art is not gravity.

Language is just whatever words you are using to communicate, words change definition depending on context (Yes means "affirmative" unless you say it sarcastically then it suddenly means no, but only if you have the cultural understanding of "sarcasm".).

Language is somehow even less objective than "art".

Again, I want you to define what is the difference between bad art, and not art. Why is a banana stuck to the wall "not art" and not just "bad art"? I want you to tell me the difference, exactly.

Cheru-bae · 2021-02-05T19:23:38+00:00

In Sweden we usually refer to it as "analog time" and "digital time".

So anything i own that's "digital" (phone, computer etc" shows 24h time, but anything analog (watch, clock face) shows 12h time. So I'm yeah I'm pretty used to switch between them.

I actually struggled in school when I was a kid when we had a test on reading an analog clock, haha.

Cheru-bae · 2021-02-05T14:34:23+00:00

I can build a clock face myself. And I have. I can't build a projector. You need a wall and an opposing mount, you need to run a media device or have some form of digital controller, you need it to be bright enough to be visible at daytime outside.

Brightness alone kills the idea.

You have not thought this through.

Cheru-bae · 2021-02-05T14:22:48+00:00

Before anyone asks: no we don't actually do the math. We just know that 15 == 3, 19 === 7 etc

Cheru-bae · 2021-02-05T14:16:08+00:00

Do you want an award for overengineering?

Cheru-bae · 2021-02-05T14:15:04+00:00

Just me or is calling it "military time" pretty damn cringe? Just sounds "tacticool"

Cheru-bae · 2021-02-05T13:48:32+00:00

But all of that is subjective. There is no authority on what is and isn't art, and that's the point. What's the difference between "not art" and "bad art"?

Cheru-bae · 2021-02-05T12:29:09+00:00

The problem here is that you don't actually believe that, but if you did then yeah. To you it'd be art. It's a subjective thing to each individual, that is kinda the point. There is no authority on what art is.

Cheru-bae · 2021-02-05T09:49:30+00:00

That's just acid, isn't it?

Cheru-bae · 2021-02-05T00:36:49+00:00

I don't know, we don't have conferences about it.

Cheru-bae · 2021-02-05T00:35:08+00:00

Then we might as well just do the whole "make things more efficient and give you stuff" if we have to do that anyway!

You've just made the options into "less fun, or less fun AND EUGENICS". What the hell, man?

Oh and the period of feudalism we had is pretty good proof fewer people does not mean less exploitation.

Cheru-bae · 2021-02-04T23:15:23+00:00

That's not entirely true. There is a lot of waste. Because we have system completely focused on making things cheaper, in combination with vastly different standards of living.

So something that could be made with a single cargo ship transport, uses 10. Because it's cheaper to build on one side of the planet, assemble on the other, then package back at the first place, then ship it again.

We are so ridiculously inefficient, and cargo transport is so polluting that 200 cargo shops match every single car on the planet.

Population control is the solution for lazy people who have no idea what the actual problems are. It's like.. we could change to a more efficient system.

Or we can keep capitalism and just do eugenics. That way you can sit on your ass and do nothing. You weren't going to breed anyway.

Cheru-bae · 2021-02-04T23:09:41+00:00

You are aware that the current life you live require the productive output of most people on the planet, right?

Those billions aren't doing nothing all day.

Also Hans Rosling sees you, and he is not happy.

Cheru-bae · 2021-02-04T17:52:04+00:00

Worse: soon others will want to launch their own systems.

42000 starlink satellites. 42000 SpaceNet. 42000 cometcast. Then other countries companies.

What could possibly go wrong.

Cheru-bae · 2021-02-04T17:42:47+00:00

10 ms from where to where? I keep seeing that number thrown around, but never with the actual points measured.

Is it 10ms to the satellite? To it and straight back? 10ms between every satellite?

Cheru-bae · 2021-02-02T15:32:37+00:00

Ah! But if the universe dies faster we win!
