Bah this is just scare mongering. The flu comes every year, you get sick for two weeks or so and are fine for the rest of the year. People with decent immune systems and botany knoedge do better. People dependent on drugs and who screw their immune systems up with vaccines do worse.

Yet another reason to stick with LibreOffice and other FOSS open source software.

Just this last little while?

• FFVII (Intergrade)
• Above Snakes
• Kena: Bridge of Spirits
• Devil May Cry (DMC1) of the HD collection.
• Valheim
• Tales of Beseria

Of course they do: their jobs are becoming increasingly obsolete as AI gets better.

So you wrote a long text wall to say what? Mental illness isn’t the cause of mass shootings? Then what would you say is?

Everyone who I know who is antivax supports everything on that list. Boosting natural immunity, hygiene, better nutrition, any number of other health improvements.

When will people understand that it’s mathematically impossible to pay off the national debt? Debt = money. The more money you print the more national debt you have. As long as you back your currency with debt instead of hard resources then paying off the national debt is as impossible as finding unicorns and dragons to ride.

I mean your premise seems to be that various diseases will reemerge and that will scare people into getting vaccines. But what if they end up healthier and so adapt in different ways? Better sanitation, immune boosters, improved forms of treatment, etc. What if the medical culture takes a totally different route because you allowed people not to get vaccinated?

And if you’re wrong? What if those who are vaccine free do better? I mean you’ve got a good idea there with the A/B testing but what if your premise is wrong or the anti-vaccine crowd is right and they do end up healthier despite the presence of diseases?

Your garden and kitchen = biochemistry and biology. Home improvement, crafting and anything to do with the trades = physics. Household cleaners, gas, automotive chemicals and plastics = chemistry + healthcare = more organic chemistry and biology. Just dealing with everyday life is science.

Look I think one of the fundamental problems here is we have a cultural divide between people with thousand dollar degrees and everyday people. When someone says “I’m not going to be a scientist” they’re probably thinking “I can’t afford to pay thousands of dollars to pay for a degree” whilst actual scientists are wondering “why don’t people pursue this subject more?” Money. Pure and simple. Real science = cooking, building something, worrying about that scum in your sink, trying to figure out the best cleaner that won’t set off an allergic reaction, and yes looking into the side effects of vaccines and assorted drugs. You want people to think scientifically then call them scientists. Don’t create an economic barrier for those who want to pursue knowledge. And don’t treat science like it only happens in labs. It’s an every day process. Science = the study of nature and everybody can do that every day. You don’t need an expensive degree to do that. So being a “scientist” shouldn’t be limited to those in white coats, getting grants and have a dozen plaques on their wall that cost a couple thousand dollars to buy.

One of the main advantages of Spotify for me is the AI. I could host the music myself just fine. But having an AI come up custom playlists is another thing entirely.

Is Librewolf comparable with the rest of my Firefox add-ons?

Yeah anti Japanese would bother me as well if I caught it as I’m an anime and Jpop/Jrock fan as well. If Kpop artists wanted to encourage me as a fan they would develop positive rather than negative relationships with their Jpop counterparts.

As for Kpop all sounding alike how is that different than say American pop?

I prefer J-pop but K-pop isn’t all that bad.

I think Google justifies the whole process with ads. Sure it’s all piracy but you come for the music, pirated or not, and they sell ads to you and someone gets paid revenue. I think YT would have an easier time of it if they improved gemini and integrated it as a DJ like spotify has its own music DJ.

I don’t think it’s the amount but rather the context given the character development. If the character is always ecchi then it makes more sense. If you have a random sex scene then it doesn’t quite make sense. That’s true whether it’s anime or a romance novel. In fact anime is often compared to literature, as opposed to other visual media like television because of it’s advanced character development. I’ve got no problem with tons of fan service but I agree it has to be paired with good writing. I don’t find excessive amounts of Plot bad so much as badly written story and plot, now that’s cringe. So in essence I would disagree with the assertion that everyone hates fanservice but add the caveat that randomly throwing in a sex scene does not automatically improve things on its own either.
