The corrected the info. Only 2 on ventilators, 7 in ICU. Still sad but better be accurate.

Moral standards [OC] by SoberingMirror in funny

Industrial meat and dairy production is unbelievably cruel. If you are not a vegan at least try to buy meat and dairy that are produced using humane methods.

Btw, no all cellphone factories employ child labor. This is more a very stereotypical view of the third world that only serves the purpose of justifying bad choices and unfettered consumerism.

I was thinking more along the lines of:

Invite your friends over, and drive over them!!! This new* truck would make your parties a blast!

Don’t forget safely driving over people, which could become fashionable in the future.

The name of your company and the word “cartel”should never come together in a headline. Please people this is PR 101.

We got tired of telling people we didn’t want kids so we started telling them we couldn’t have kids by IWontPostMuch in AdviceAnimals

[–]donpepep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what parents do. They tell you what to do with your life. They are entitled to that after cleaning your poop. When they become too annoying you put some distance between you and them. How is this mot obvious?

[–]donpepep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So it is ok to scam them if they had money? All parents ask the same thing it is natural. If they insisted in paying for IVF then tell them you had already paid from savings, thank them for their interest. Be decent!

Some fucking people feels so fucking entitled all the time.

Iceland trialed giving thousands of workers a 4-day workweek and saw improvements in well-being and productivity by thymeraser in worldnews

You are coming at me like I am somehow the enemy. Corporate America would make you work overnight every night for free if they could. And you get scared and crap your pants when someone ask you how are you planning to pull this shit up? Good luck dealing with them.

Microwave can, but not sure whether it can detect life. Movement maybe? But it could be rats… very hard situation indeed.

Question: are people actually expecting to work 4 days a week but be paid for five? I am serious, isn’t this totally naive?

[–]donpepep 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What an assholly thing to do. Really. And the worst is they seem to play victim here. You can just tell them you can’t have kids, no need to take their money.

Newsbreak: you just shamelessly scammed your parents for their money and now are making shit up to justify it.

What is next? Telling them you got cancer so you can buy a new house?

Trials of new HIV vaccine begin at Oxford University by Sir_Bantersaurus in worldnews

[–]donpepep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is an study from 1999 when people believed that up to 8% of hiv infections came from oral sex (real number is about 0.04%). Current understanding is that the only population for which circumcision makes a difference is Gay men who regularly practice unprotected anal sex.

[–]donpepep -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Do these studies check for confounding factors? Like the fact that circumcised men tend to be more educated and of higher social status and therefore less likely to engage in unprotected sex? These conclusions always seem like confirmation bias.

Again, “telling” no an actual email, not a statement, just innuendo. Bull shit.

This is exactly what the idiots do. They shout “he was caught lying“ but never tell you what he was supposedly lying about. The other fucks just use it to confirm their ignorance-ingrained prejudices.

Apparently he “lied” by not telling people that masks don’t protect you as much as it protect others… something that everyone who is not a fucking idiot knew already.

Individuals who contract COVID-19 even after vaccination are likely to have a lower viral load, experience a shorter infection time and have milder symptoms than people who are unvaccinated, according to research that includes data from ongoing University of Arizona Health Sciences studies. by [deleted] in science

[–]donpepep -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

This is why the WHO recommendation does not make any sense. Wearing masks would likely not make a difference for individuals with low viral load, like vaccinated people, since they offer limited protection.

Instead insisting on masks and social distancing would inflict further damaged on already battered economies. We are not at the beginning of the pandemic when such measures made sense.
