Sea Hitler's water apocalypse
For the cat is cryptic, and close to strange things which men cannot see. He is the soul of antique Aegyptus, and bearer of tales from forgotten cities in Meroe and Ophir. He is the kin of the jungle’s lords, and heir to the secrets of hoary and sinister Africa. The Sphinx is his cousin, and he speaks her language; but he is more ancient than the Sphinx, and remembers that which she hath forgotten.

@sim Well, flu shots are often not mandatory, but are offered for free to risk groups like children and the elderly. You can still however go to a pharmacy and buy a shot, which they'll often administer right there with a nurse, if you're worried about it.
-
@moonman Well it's true that many institutions can't be trusted at all nowadays, but the solution is not to revert medicine to the XVIII century.

@sim I don't have anything about talking about those things, just against encouraging them.
It's one thing to say "Hitler ordered his officers to euthanize the disabled" which is a factual, historical statement and informs the reader of this without influencing their opinion. It's another to say "Hitler rightfully brought up the severe tax that the disabled were on the state's resources to his officers, and for the sake of the country asked his officers to put them to death, thus increasing the quality of life of the general population" which makes an idiotic reader that would have otherwise said "that's bad" to think "huh maybe we should kill the disabled after all" -
@maiyannah Oh, alright. Yeah, can't argue that at all.
-
@sim Furthermore, even if you WERE immune to the disease, if the rest haven't gotten the vaccine they'll fall ill, they'll have to skip work so day to day life would be affected, and they'll also collapse the healthcare system, so if you get sick with something else there won't be available doctors nor resources to treat you.
-
@sim A vaccine works by building a resistance to a strain of disease by exposing the body to a severely weakened sample of that disease. Like learning to defend yourself from knives while wearing padding and with a rubber knife. Your body recognizes the threat and creates defenses without being in real risk. This severely strenghtens immune response to the disease, but it doesn't always make you completely immune, that only happens with certain diseases that you can't contract twice. With others your immune system can be still overwhelmed. It's often given to vulnerable people and children because they're the ones most likely to be unable to fend the disease proper just with their base immune system.
If people don't take the vaccines, then the exposition to disease you have to deal with is much, much higher. Like how a lead suit will protect you from a few rads but you'll still die if you sit on a plutonium brick. -
@maiyannah That was sort of my point. I said positive portrayals of those things, as in endorsing them and encouraging the reader to see such things in a nicer light. As for the latter part of your posts, it's why I said "allowed to mature and reasonable people", which includes experts in the area and anyone who's mature and learned enough to discern and not buy into it.
I wouldn't censor say, psychology magazines talking about the reasons behind pedophilia, just like I wouldn't censor gun magazines talking about reloading bullets just because an uninformed idiot could hurt himself doing it poorly. -
@sim I put it on the list because it's a lead cause of family problems, and by extension marital and child abuse. Properly scorning it would severely reduce suicide, fights, and neglected children.
Not to mention how horrible it is morally. -
@sim @maiyannah Hence why I used the lab metaphor. If someone asks "what's this vial for" and you slap them and tell them they shouldn't look at it, someone's bound to grab it when you're not looking and end up in the hospital. If you instead tell them "it's a powerful acid that releases toxic fumes, you'll see it in class in third year" they'll leave it there and will discourage others from messing with it, knowing they could get hurt too.
-
@maiyannah @sim Well, with this I agree. One of the reasons I want these groups to go away and abuse themselves to death is because they set a bad precendent that makes reasonable censorship impossible and poorly seen. Works that portray legitimately dangerous stuff to society positively SHOULD be handled with pliers, stuff like what you mentioned of vaccination denialism, pedophilia, adultery, the things that if peope start seeing positively would set our standard of life a few centuries back. That kind of work I believe should be flagged as such and only be allowed to mature and reasonable people that won't buy into it, much like you don't let first year students in a lab access potent acids and fuels.
-
@sim TBH I'd prefer if they went the mastodon way and isolated themselves then proceeded to abuse eachother to oblivion.
-
@sim The bosses know what they're becoming and they're doing it deliberately. The underlings buy into it. That doesn't make them any less guilty though.

@zerohedge Gotta assemble the new gestapo

@shpuld I wish I had pudding. Ran out oof gas though so I can't cook until the morning.
-
@shpuld Thinking about what to play since it's almost 5 am haha
-
@maiyannah Wow. That's ridiculous. Over here at least if you drive off into the rural areas land prices per meter go down a lot, and if the land isn't particularly fertile it's dirt cheap.
-
@shpuld Morning!

Cuck carts are objectively worse because you can't race on them in the store's parking lot.
And if you want to use them as a hobo, the other hobos will laugh at you.Thursday, 23-Feb-17 07:36:55 UTC from web -
And you get hundreds of people bananaing about not being able to afford a place to live but they'll get offended if you say "hey maybe consider checking outside the city" but that's another topic.

@maiyannah That's what I mean. Urban areas get crowded, land prices go up, you start getting stupidly small and crowded everything. Then you get on a car and drive an hour off the city and land prices are down from $500/m2 to $10/m2
-
@maiyannah Thanks urbanization
-
@moonman Those are weird. Here it's either normal shopping carts or baskets. No mid point. Some stores have smaller and bigger normal carts, and sturdy big ones for hardware shop areas, but that's it.

No greater honor than being picked by a special cat.

@mrmattimation Thousands of social network accounts hacked, victims claim no damage done past their pics being changed to anime characters.
On related news: a third of voter turnout rejected due to social media screening. -
@biwazimayui Thanks for the confirmation.

@xj9 Her feet are weird

@hfaust He hasn't been as active but is still around.

@delores GNUsocial tonight is proof that anime is real.
