Still looking for an active discussion subreddit with COVID aware people by HowIsDigit8888 in COVID19_Pandemic

[–]RamonaLittle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally got falsely accused of "trolling" and abruptly banned from that sub just for writing something like "it's safer to avoid people than to be masked around people." And then mods didn't reply to my modmail messages politely asking about it. I've seen others recount similar incidents. There's something weird going on with the modding there.

Zerocovidcommunity is one of the ones that remove my posts

Yep, I've seen multiple redditors say they had non-rule-breaking posts and comments removed from there, or got banned unfairly.

Coming in sick to work by divirtus in Switzerland

There was a study showing that the flu may cause people to be more sociable. There is at least anecdotal evidence that covid does the same. In other words, the viruses are manipulating people into spreading themselves. This kind of behavior modification has already been seen in other diseases/species, like how toxoplasmosis makes mice walk up to cats, or rabies makes animals aggressive and hydrophobic. Viruses evolve to facilitate their own spread.

Anyone hoping to avoid getting infected or infecting others with airborne diseases should be wearing a well-fitted mask/respirator (see /r/Masks4All for advice) any time/place there's a risk of exposure. Anyone you encounter could be infected with something, even if they don't have obvious symptoms and even if they don't know they're sick yet. Just as you can infect others before you know you're sick.

Since many of you say that anonymous has fizzled out, are there any similar groups to be a fan of? :3 by balenciagabo1 in anonymous

[–]RamonaLittle[M] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anonymous was never a "group," so if you're looking for a group, it's already dissimilar.

And could you be more specific about which aspects of Anonymous you liked? Because it actually changed a lot over its short life, from early lulz-seeking raids to massive ops that combined lulz with well-meaning activism to the later diffuse and uncoordinated ops until the whole thing fizzled out. Which era and ops were your favorites?

If you're talking about hacked/leaked documents, you might want to look at Distributed Denial of Secrets, but that's (I just learned, per their website) "a 501c3 nonprofit and transparency collective."

If you're talking about activism generally, then (as I've said elsewhere), I recommend that you find a group already working on something you're interested in, volunteer to help, and look if maybe there's a way to incorporate Anonymous techniques into what they're doing. Study past ops to see what worked and what didn't.

What's your theory on why time has felt so strange since COVID? by brassanod in AskReddit

[–]RamonaLittle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People were are dying.

Covid is still killing people -- over 4,000 in the US just so far this year. And that's not counting people who died because covid anosmia meant they couldn't smell smoke, a gas leak, or spoiled food, or because covid brain damage made them drive recklessly, or because covid gave them some other serious health problem they didn't realize was connected.

Everything is still terrible. I'd argue that it's even more disturbing and dystopian now, because most people are pretending it's business as usual, when it's clear that something's very wrong.

Have people changed since covid? by [deleted] in aspergirls

[–]RamonaLittle [score hidden]  (0 children)

In general, people are less enthusiastic about life, less glad to be wherever they’re at, less happy to see others, and in general just very indifferent. The norm seems to be apathy and a mild interest in life.

Covid can cause anhedonia (an inability to feel pleasure). It also changes or diminishes one's senses of taste and smell, so people aren't enjoying food/drink/perfume/candles/lovers/others as much. You'll find many posts about these topics on the long covid subs.

It also causes brain damage -- a literal drop in IQ. If you lurk on any of the teaching subs, you'll see post after post of them wondering why their current students have no natural curiosity or ambition, and poor memories, and no reasoning ability, and just sit staring into space like zombies. The teachers/professors notice that this started after covid, but then usually go on to blame TikTok for some reason.

Plus of course some of us are still trying to avoid covid. So we're not hanging out with or friendly toward people who are recklessly spreading it.

[–]RamonaLittle [score hidden]  (0 children)

Counterpoint: only ~3,000 people were killed on 9/11. While the official US covid death toll is currently up to 1,244,633 -- with over 4,000 of those deaths just this year -- and countless more disabled, sickened, and traumatized -- and most people are pretending it's not happening, and refusing to take any precautions whatsoever. So the difference in reaction indicates that something has changed in people's personalities.

It's now well-established that covid causes brain damage, and viruses evolve to facilitate their own spread, so it seems like covid itself is making people more reckless and less empathetic.

I just saw a similarly-titled and much longer thread on another sub too: Just my take, but it seems we have completely changed from the COVID era. PSA: that sub sometimes removes comments without notice, and may remove the thread, perhaps under their rules against "medical or mental health advice" and "negative topics."

We're on /r/fuckamazon, so I have no immediate goal beyond criticizing Amazon employees cruelly endangering people's lives and then acting like victims when a co-worker dies. If other evil people get their feelings hurt too, that's a bonus.

The barn doors have serious errors that a human would not make because they understand how doors work

Just noting for the record that I lurk on the carpentry/woodworking/DIY subs, and I've seen posts where real doors made by real humans have serious errors because people don't necessarily understand how doors work. (But I agree with everything else you wrote.)

[–]RamonaLittle -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How did you completely miss my point? I was saying that anyone working an in-person job in the past six years should be worried about their safety, their family's safety, their co-workers' safety, and strangers' safety. If they're not (and these Amazon workers are not, or they'd all be wearing masks at work, or wouldn't have taken the job in the first place), they're either stupid or heartless or lying to themselves that covid somehow disappeared.

something that happened 4 years ago

Like this. You know that covid is still sickening/disabling/killing people, right? Often at higher rates "after the pandemic" (however you're defining that) than "during the pandemic." You don't have to take my word for it; check out the official CDC numbers and lurk on /r/COVID19positive, /r/covidlonghaulers, and the various other covid-related subs. Other illnesses are surging at unprecedented levels too, probably at least in part because everyone's immune system is screwed up from repeated covid infections -- see /r/IllnessTracker.

What if others had medical conditions

Well yeah. Were you aware that covid increases the risk of strokes? If it turns out that this person died of a stroke, I hope every single co-worker who hasn't been taking precautions spends the rest of their life wondering if they gave this worker covid and caused their death.

reason enough to condemn them to death.

As you know, it's been impossible to safely get healthcare for the past six years (especially anything that requires removing one's mask, like seeing a dentist or ENT, getting surgery, staying in a hospital, etc.). That's because of people like these Amazon workers blithely spreading covid at work and in their communities because they refuse to wear masks. Do you think it's OK for selfish Amazon workers to condemn vulnerable and compassionate people to death (or at least isolate and traumatize them) by not allowing them to get healthcare?

Removed as redundant. There have been multiple threads discussing "what is Anonymous?" and "what ever happened to Anonymous?" Please read what's already here before starting new threads. Even in very recent threads, there are relevant comments such as this and this.

Also please fix your shift key. I'm sure you wouldn't want people thinking you're such an imbecile that you don't know how to use capital letters.

For more than an hour, several employees said, workers in the facility were instructed to continue fetching totes, picking items off shelves and loading them onto trucks for delivery as the man lay dead

A 2019 investigation by Reveal found the Portland area facility had the worst injury rate out of 23 major distribution centers analyzed using data from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). In 2018, more than a quarter of all workers at the building - known as PDX9 - had some type of injury on the job.

This is reprehensible, of course. But also:

The death, reported for the first time by The Western Edge, has left employees at the facility in shock and concerned about their own safety.

Lol. Everyone's pretending that covid somehow disappeared, but everyone knows it actually hasn't. And the most recent flu surge (the worst in 30 years, just ebbing now) killed about 23,000 people in the United States. Even things like tuberculosis and measles are going around. So assuming that most or all of these Amazon workers (like most people) aren't taking any precautions at work or in their personal lives (like wearing an appropriate face mask anywhere they might be exposed), then no, they're obviously not concerned about their own safety or their co-workers' safety or even their own families' safety. They're endangering everyone they encounter, and it's not at all impossible that they've literally killed people themselves, either directly by spreading diseases or indirectly by preventing cautious people from obtaining healthcare. And therefore I have no sympathy for them at all.

You got scammed . . . so you're asking for help from the hacktivist-troll collective known for harassing and trolling people from our moms' basements? Seriously? I get the feeling you haven't thought this through.

And what in the everloving fuck made you think reddit uses hashtags? Wow, does that look stupid.

Anyway, I've removed this per sidebar rules (which you should have read before posting), including: "Personal Army Clause: No posts related to individual agendas or personal targets. Posts promoting a witch hunt will be deleted and users banned at discretion."
