If you say the lie often enough, it becomes the excepted truth.

I mostly agree with you, but protections aren’t the same thing as rights. Protections are a one way street, rights are a two way street.

If they’re as smart, communicatable and capable of social responsibilities, then yes. There are some species that may be “differently” smart as humans, but lack a common lanuage and can’t take on shared social responsibilities, so giving them rights is difficult to say the least.

None and I installed an emoji blocked on firefox.

Because the color gradient is relative. A large enough banana would also light up. Also exposure time is another factor and this will dissipate very quickly. You can play it safe by abstain of seafood and swimming for a week.

Though previously all such cases used to happen gradually, giving most people enough time to adapt to the changes.

The Luddites would like to have a word with you.

Give up. You could post an article by a Pulitzer Prize Winner and it wouldn’t be good enough. Hell, I posted an English translation of a Chinese article about the arrest of a Chinese LGBT author and it wasn’t good enough.

Then post tech news from your country.

Yes. This is the downfall of every powerful man who surrounds himself with yes men. His advisers probably told him that if they invade Ukraine, the leadership would flee and he could install a puppet. They didn’t expect him to actually do it.

You don’t have a learning disability and you don’t belong in the special classes. Don’t trust anyone that says it will be fixed the next year and go to a different high school when they say the classes you want are filled.

He has bragged about never hiring people he thought was smarter then himself.

This is the most likely reason. Companies love reframing their earned hate as bigotry. Alt right goes along with it because it gives them validation.

Right, they’ve been terrible for years. Buying up companies, firing the old guard and pumping out shove ware versions of the games. On the consumer side, broken games, no polish, annual release games that are just reskins of the previous one, DLC/micro transactions, shutting down servers while there’s still a strong playerbase.

If I saw a poll for worst game company in 2013, it would have been an easy pick from me. Nowadays, it would be harder, but only because the other AAA studios have all gotten shittier since then.

And by then, it was too late to their voters behavior. Hell, Trump didn’t really change his public stance either. Him and his voters made anti-masking a point of pride. Whenever the press asked him about vaccines, he never out rite said that they should get vaccines for the health and safety of the county they supposed love. It’s so simple. Love the county? Love the economy? Get vaccinated and stay up to date. Trust the American™ researchers.

Even they knew it was bs. Their supposed confidence in nfts was just them trying to drive the market up so they could unload it on the next sap. They didn’t consider that they were the sap all along. The collapse was faster then crypto because nfts don’t even have a real utility. And yes, crypto does have a utility as currency in nitche communities, but most people treated it like commodity.

I don’t think anyone looking for N95s for COVID protection would buy masks with valves anyway.

I remember seeing some people wearing the vented ones. One news anchor that was interviewing people going to the beach was wearing a vented mask asking people if they thought it was safe. I hate people.

Face masks are most effective at reducing the spread of SARS-CoV-2 when the infected persons wear them.

I’ve made this comment elsewhere, but I do recommend wearing eye protection.

Also, the N95 and KN95 designators doesn’t specify if there’s a vent valve or not. Just get the ones without one. Any mask will still catch spit from coughs. If you’re in a space that gets saturated, the room has ventilation issues and masks are unlikely to do much anyway. CO2 monitors can indirectly measure the saturated level. It’s unhealthly to be in spaces like that, covid or not.

Who do you think I’m talking about? Trump was all around terrible. He wanted the virus to spread while he and his party thought it was killing black people more then white people.

My original comment was about my Biden friends who all flocked back to theaters then he signaled the “end” to the pandemic.
