Fucking sucks that libraries are starting to implement anti-homeless policies, as that’s the only place a lot of them can get peace during the day
Already 4 million people out of work in the US because of long covid, and 8% of the population are reporting it.
Yet like dementia was a couple decades ago, it is being treated by parts of the medico-political establishment as if it is the patient’s fault, or even a mental illness.
We never learn, nearly every new chronic illness that popped up was first treated as “hysteria” or “mental” or “psychosomatic” in the past, until we figured out the pathology. From most autoimmune diseases, to peptic ulcer to epilepsy…
Man it fucking sucks people care so much about not vaxxing. If they vaxxed my family members may still be alive…
And don’t get me wrong vaccines are good, but they don’t perfectly protect you.
I had 3 shots and I’m still bedridden from Long COVID. My childhood friend had 2 shots and he still died.
But if it can reduce the death rates and most importantly reduce the spread, you’d be dumb not to get it.
And now because I have long covid afterb3 shots, every right wing nut in my family is saying I’m sick “because of the vaccines” 🤦 (if they even believe im sick at all)
I can guarantee you disabled people don’t have those rights in basically any country except maybe finland.
I’m from switzerland and if it weren’t for family taking care of me I’d be dead on the street.
Wdym China is a democracy. They have elections.
/s I’m not from .ml
Fuck you you horrible human beings my family member and a friend died of COVID and COVID permanently disabled both me and my mother. Me severely so, completely bedridden.
I fucking hate these unempathetic douchebags who think everything is about them.
This legit happened to the entire US in the 50s and 60s, and has only sligjtly improved in the past 30 years
Based vermont (but rip nuclear)
Doctors take feedback?
What type of utopia do you live in?
It’s super funny because at swiss train station they always say
“Train X is delayed by Y minutes, this is due to delays in France/Germany and not the Swiss railways” on the megaphone LOL
People change their attitude real fast if you say “oh sorry, if you’re okay with me giving you [insert random sickness] I’ll happily take my mask off”
Because regular eyeglasses have glare and acuity problems that disadvantage the shooter.

It’s intended to replace prescription eyeglasses because they are inconvenient to shoot with.
It has the same function, except tailored to shooting (only one eye). So you aren’t getting a noticeable advantage vs someone with perfect eyesight (otherwise it wouldnt be legal at olympics).
oh nice! I assumed it was taking from national statistics.
Having lived in both Austria and France, I would definitely have guess Austria be more punctual than france.
This stat is kind of weird. Punctuality is defined differently in every country.
In Switzerland 3+ minutes delay is counted as unpunctual, while france needs a 15+ min delay. I think in Austria it is 5+ min but unsure. So these numbers aren’t really comparable because they aren’t defining delay the same.
Hostile governments like Russia and Iran are often involved, and practical alternatives are hard to come by, experts say.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2 – Sen.

She appeared to stifle a sob as she hugged Putin. He handed her a bouquet of purple and white flowers, and another to her daughter. Putin also hugged her husband and kissed their son. > > Then, over the din of the airplane, Putin could be heard greeting the children with “buenas noches” — the Spanish phrase for “good evening.” > > Their parents were undercover Russian spies who posed as Argentinian citizens living in Slovenia and went by the names Ludwig Gisch and Maria Rosa Mayer Muños. They were part of Thursday's massive prisoner swap involving several countries.

From wikipedia:
Contrary to popular conception, there is no evidence that societies relied only on barter before using money for trade.\[73\] Instead, non-monetary societies operated primarily along the principles of gift economics, and in more complex economies, on debt.\[74\]\[75\]\[76\] When barter occurred, it was usually between strangers or would-be enemies.\[77\]
