Quite a few friends also don't have anyone in their immediate circle who has had it. Now, this group is all pretty concentrated geographically, and has an overrepresentation of unvaccinated people, so take that for what you will. But

Okay. However, I would just like to mention that every honest and straightforward attempt I've made to push back against the prevailing opinion here, has resulted in my comments being flagged and ignored. It's a little frustrati

Having attended a number of rallies against lockdowns and other government overreactions, where presumably a lot of participants were not vaccinated, I still don't personally know a single person who ever got Covid, let alone died of i

Do you have any data to back that up, or is it just yet another wild claim to support the overreaction we've gone through the last few years?

I closed my Paypal account when they "mistakenly" added punitive and censorious clauses to their TOS. It took ten days, and in doing so it came to light that there had been, unbeknownst to me, about fifteen businesses with permis

No offense, but I think you're exactly wrong. People need to trust the science, so to speak, and leave the thinking to domain experts who can dictate the best course of action for everyone. On their own, too many people are prone to f

Maybe i'm being too short-sighted, but at $30 per unit, this seems hopelessly overpriced for widespread use. I'd rather have a bucket full of those new 10 cent RiscV microcontrollers*, rather than one lone unit, even granting tha

Isn't this just a more advanced form of punch clock? We can quibble about the specifics, but employers tracking their employees time is not a new practice. Not proud of this fact, but my father got caught punching in the time clock at

I'd prefer to have the option to give or sell the used games away after playing them. You can't give a Steam game to a friend after you've played it, and you can't pass your entire game collection on to your heirs when

Artists are no different than all the people who tried to destroy the cotton gin or the automated loom. We're all going to have to live in a world where these technologies exist, and find a way to live a fulfilling life regardless.

Unless you take extreme precautions, throwaway accounts would be relatively easy to link, by those who run this site. Whether they care, or take the time to do so, is another question. Either way, it can't guarantee anonymity from th

There are similar moves to "make people accountable" for their online actions in the west as well; only the details differ, the motivation is the same -- structural control of online activities and content.

They don't. But if you don't pay them enough, ad-companies will stop sending you any customers at all, and instead put their efforts into catering to other higher-paying clients. So you are incentivized to make a good ad campaig

It's still a necessary component, even if it's not sufficient. People are way too eager to be soft on crime without offering anything in the way of an actual solution. To me, it sounds like cover for less than altruistic motivat
