That’s a lovely tomato and mozzarella salad. Caprese never has balsamic. The trick is to find good tomatoes. And use lots of Evoo.

It’s a total pain to have to go into the community, scroll all the way down, and then get an error message when you click the block icon. Or a login screen. It should be possible to block communities from the front page.

The vaccines are still free in many countries. PS the latest booster vaccinated against the wrong variant.

At least 15 percent of people end up with long covid. And that’s the ones who go to the doctor with it. Last Christmas everyone I talked to “didn’t have long covid, but…” They could no longer do anything without getting out of breath. Or they kept forgetting things. Or they could only clean the house for 10 minutes when they used to be able to clean all day.

And then there’s the diabetes, autoimmune disease, heart disease, dementia… All things you can end up with thanks to covid. And none of this is rare.

Yes. It’s not fucking hard.

Shame the latest booster was the wrong one.

We’re all over masks. But we’re still wearing them because we’re not idiots.

It doesn’t stop working because you wear it. Why should it? Have some masks on rotation and leave the ones you aren’t wearing in the sun or in a UV-C decontamination box.

You don’t need to change masks after one wear, unless you work in a medical setting.

The point of being an admin is that you can edit and change everything that is posted. If someone does something illegal on your instance, or they’re posting stuff you don’t like (racism, homophobia, etc) you need to be able to fix it.

Admins have always been able to modify posts. See Reddit, forums, etc.

Reddit used to be “nice”. Then it became toxic. And now the toxic asshats are here and the moderators do nothing.

Ah yeah I’m afraid we don’t take the high road anymore. It’s not worked. Probably because “the libs” have realised that y’all don’t have a better nature to appeal to.

(And something tells me you’re projecting)

Nobody believes it, though. People and companies that say such stuff want an excuse to be bigots.

And your notes don’t suddenly increase the price of your storage.

Yes. It’s faster and it doesn’t end up getting lost on my phone or PC somewhere. I can also leave a page open on my desk if it’s something I tend to forget (currently German prepositions).

Who says you won’t be one of the 15 percent who get long covid?

Covid mostly spreads through asymptomatic cases. Ignorance kills (or causes long covid).

Protecting others is weak and pathetic? Alrighty then. Bet you’re a “Christian” too.

Covid spreads easily because people who have it are often asymptomatic.

For god’s, sake, it’s been 3.5 years. How do people still not know this?

No, most people don’t have some degree of immunity. They found out very early during the pandemic that Covid damages the immune system and that you can basically assume you won’t gain immunity. Stop pretending it’s the flu.

Fun fact: if you got sick during the first wave, getting it again will not result in any immunity.
