No maybe about it. There are thousands upon thousands of excess deaths due to vaccine denial.

The article touches briefly on it, essentially even though a minority wants these terrible policies, that minority are the GOP base and are generally single issue voters and religious. That minority has an outsized say due to gerrymandering. And there is also a feedback loop in this country where the GOP gerrymanders, they cut education and other social services, blame the “enemy” for the downturn in QOL for their constituents, and repeat. It solidifies the us vs them mentality that has these people voting against their own interests.

Obviously super simplified outlook on it since it is a very complex issue. Other people in the thread have explained better.

The reason they are able to do this comes down to gerrymandering.

I wonder if a government can actually do better at security. Not that corporations are amazing and infallible, but it isn’t like governments are known for creating the best software systems either.

I’ll second this. Learned this a long time ago. Anything you think you need on w3c schools can be found elsewhere.

Is it just me or is lemmy-ui broken in 0.18.4 docker image? When I upgraded my instance, the UI was not loading properly.

I think it’s inevitable that she will be stripped off this case, but I don’t know shit.

Apparently, you have to live it

No truer words.

Are you not aware that “big sugar” is a massive offender of cherry picking data and funding studies that make their competition look bad? It’s a large contributor to the obesity problems of the Western world

This is pessimistic but it seems to me that Florida is absolutely and incredibly fucked. It’s not even an uphill battle to protect the keys and Everglades, it seems unwinnable without absolutely massive and rapid global shifts, or am I just a doomer?

I only heard of this recently… should I switch off Nova? What do I even switch to?

I’ve never used anything but Nova for years and years now.

Prigohzin is such a slimy fuck. The deliberate irony of his statements would be laughable if he wasn’t so disgusting

Of course it is really terrible that people needed to flee home because of this senseless war. But it is good to see that at the very least they have somewhere to go to be safe for the time being, a refugee crisis it’s never ideal or easy to deal with for anyone involved but these people seem like they’re happy enough all things considered.

I’m curious what the German government has to say about this though. I wonder why they refused to respond to the author of the article

I both use subscriptions and watch what the algo shows me. According to a lot of big YouTubers I watch, their viewership mostly comes from people who find them organically and only a smaller amount of their views come from subscribers but sponsors like to see high subscriber counts as well as high view counts.

He doesn’t need a branding team, he’s too smart for that. That’s why he is also sourcing a logo from the Twitter community. Because billionaires geniuses don’t pay for anything.

Maybe took inspiration from a guy at a different university

Never fuck with a microwave, you’re asking to become the path of least resistance for that capacitor to unload through.
