Since we're talking game theory, a basic rule in any competitive game (from chess to League of Legends) is that focusing on loss prevention is a losing tactic.
We've been doing peaceful protest since the beginning of the environmental movement. It's not getting the goods and the earth is dying. What we need it's a diversity of tactics.
Choosing Saudi Arabia for this is like choosing the US for an international conference on anti-imperialism.
This doesn't mean shit.
I was raised catholic. It's basically church doctrine that anyone is a child of God, and pretty much almost anyone can be baptized.
It doesn't mean you're not a sinner who's going to burn forever in hell. It's just the famous anti-lgbt talking point "hate the sin, not the sinner".
This will lead LGBT people to a false sense of security before they go straight up to conversion therapy.
Oh, I see. I didn't notice it.
Thanks for clarifying!
I'm keeping it as it is because most of the time I access Boost through hone screen. It doesn't bother much.
But I thought it was worth reporting here to see if anyone else had the same issue.
I'm using Android 11
Yeah. Like almost zero impact (zero if exclude the creation process and calories you have to eat) and you are a lot more precise, with the only downside being that it takes a bit longer to finish.
Where I live leaf blowers are really rare. I see them as a very unnecessary luxury.
The vaccine does not stop covid
It does.
It does not make you immune
Not to all strains, and not completely.
it does not stop you from spreading covid
It does, by reducing symptoms like cough, which spreads the virus in the air, and by lowering your chances of having it on the first place.
and you will have to get another dose after about 3 months
I haven't checked this one, but even if true, it's a small price to pay to not having my friends and loved ones dying.
And then there are possible adverse effects like myocarditis, especially for young men. All this should be considered.
Which are extremely unlikely to happen in comparison to dying of covid.
There are other ways to strengthen your immune system. They should be considered too.
There isn't s way to strengthen your immune system, because it doesn't work that way. You either have a healthy immune system or you are immunocompromised, which may happen when you are particularly fucking up your body with drugs, going through rapid environment changes or suffering with AIDS.
People with a immune system that is too strong (that is, more aggressive and more wasteful of body resources) actually tend to develop auto immune diseases.
Most people that have died due to covid have been severely ill, morbidly obese or very old.
Yeah. And they still deserved to fucking live.
Eating healthy, getting enough exercise and making sure Vitamin D levels are sufficient will make covid much less dangerous. I much prefer that to constantly getting new boosters.
Those are indeed good practices that will lead to a healthier life, and may affect your chances with covid (especially exercise if it's cardio).
However, COVID doesn't care. Being healthier mostly means that you can take a bit more physical damage on average than other people while your immune system tries to fight the infection. It will still fuck you up and possibly cause permanent damage.
Oh, and if you have bad genetics, got wet from the rain in a cold environment, or is just way too stressed out from work? Your chances are pulled down just as much.
Use the extension and fuck with advertiser algorithms in general. It works both as an Ad Blocker and adds fake clicks and ads. It even has a feature where they show how much economic damage you are causing per page.
There are other tools designed to screw with data collection, but this is by far my favorite.
Yeah, but ecological damage isn't about CO2. It's about global ecosystem collapse. Reforestation helps stopping damage to local wildlife, keep bees alive, etc. If we focus only on CO2 we run the risk of falling into technocratic strategies of minimaxing it's mitigation. All that while ignoring what we are trying to preserve in the first place.
Trees also help lowering local temperature, and a small but significant part of that carbon will be absorbed by fungi and stored bellow the Earth. And with diversity, they can provide resources for communities such as fruits, teas, and other good stuff.
Yeah, I was still on Reddit because the other apps for Lemmy didn't scratch my itch.
I donwload it on release, and so far it's working great. Man, I missed this beautiful customizable interface.
The details I do know, based on Instagram posts from both CNT Barcelona and their opposition, is that:
It still works if you're a mod in a community. I don't know why.
