That’s what it is for almost all children

Also in general who the fuck wants to live thinking about a mask all the time?

The “selfish and myopic” people I know in states that don’t have mask mandates have happy kids who go to school and can look at each other’s faces and grow as humans.

Here in NYC we have woman yelling at kids to keep their masks on and they are in and out of school on a whim.

Who is being selfish and myopic?

This is the stupidest take.

The particles are floating around in the air. They don’t hit the glass and turn around and go home, they continue to float and a draft or whatever will disperse the particles throughout the room.

Who gets to decide what size interior is ok? Or what crowded is?

It’s all arbitrary and you all fell for it.

Just let omicron spread, accept it’s another seasonal flu, and move the fuck on.

If you think that is extreme language something is horribly wrong.

What?

They are literally the 3 client “languages” of the web.

Everything your abstractions/frameworks do is produce html, css, and js.

The romans forgot how to create concrete.

This mindset is why

I work on a massive CMS and he’s correct. There is an insane groupthink going on in webdev.

Another team in my org has spent a year reinventing our client side js so that our templates are now mixed with the svelte runtime. All to render/update cards on the page that can update when an api pings the page.

So 6 months later they’re still building the svelte integration and have only shipped 2 pages to users.

This is a cms where you should be able to create any page via a combination of SSR components but no, now it’s a mix of SSR, SSR svelte within handlebars, and client side svelte. So the edit ui is now a fragmented mess of parts of the page that can and can’t render, ruining the default model of the cms all because they couldn’t bear to write vanilla js. They also added react the year before and now it just sits there decaying.

Literally madness.

That’s literally how all polyfills work. They first check if the thing is there, and if not then implement it.

And in this case you can simply do an if statement with (first && first.second && first.second.third)

My point being, writing one long line is how the language inherently works. Use that instead of the new feature that only ships in new browsers. I’d still be upset if one of my teammates added an entire bundling system so they can simply write fewer lines for such simple menial aspects of the code. Forest for the trees.

It’s really not if you simply stick to html, css, and a tiny bit of js on the client.

I’ve seen the transition occur in my company where DX is trumping backwards compatibility, “simplicity”, and inter team cohesion.

If you can’t bother to write the if statement that guarantees backward compatibility and follows a defined standard in use for almost 20 years, you are a horrid engineer IMO.

This is why there’s a general trend toward all things becoming complicated, brittle, and shitty.

Daily standup might be the worst offender.

People end up waiting until standup to ask questions, creating a culture that doesn’t simply message one another for simple things. If something is brought up in standup, now product and project mgmt will want to understand and weigh the value of something that could literally be as simple as, “I need access, how do I generate a key?”

Also I hate being interrogated every morning about what I did the day before.

Daily standup removes the need to remember anything, or even picture the system/ product in your head because you can just ask someone else every day and get what you want. No need to think! Process over people!

I recently watched some state level testimony from nurses and they said something along the lines of, “our staff, nurses and doctors, are unaware of or trained to use VAERS”

I love basing my opinions off of shitty data.

Fear is the mind killer.

Why is this being downvoted?

Are our kids not beautiful snowflakes on the spectrum of intelligence or is it just gender?

I have a degree in the biomedical sciences and I often see CS majors/software/math folks insert clear cut divisions between terms and things than could possibly correlate.

I feel like a lot of people don’t understand how continuous certain parts of biology are (and aren’t).

Kids who get a hold of their parents credit cards or the new generation of people who will live off stocks their parents gave them.

We’ll see how much they’ll be spending on skins when they grow up/can’t game all the time.

However I think this new class of all day gamers isn’t going anywhere. It’s the perfect time sink for the new leisure class.

Orgy porgy

Democracy is currently threatened from inside, and it’s not the citizenry. Please don’t make the mistake of thinking 62% of the country, or whatever large stat, is a bunch of blood thirsty crazies.

Both political parties have committed atrocities and are equally complicit in the current state of affairs. Tribalism will not solve this.

Please respect each other and do not accelerate our national divide.

So the vaccine that they inject into you, that would cause an allergic reaction, has nothing to do with the allergic reaction?

The masking is an odd one because they told us not to do it, then to do it.

I’ve also read claims that these respiratory viruses are on the order of microns and most masks are pointless, unless specifically designed for this.

Glad to hear these guys are holding out. They have access to the best doctors and medical advice. I’d honestly listen to them and their experiences.

Yes, this virus is brutal and highly dangerous, which is why we need to do everything we can to stop it, not just somethings that are highly lucrative.

Why hasn’t the news or our medical governance brought up the fact that a small intranasal injection can greatly prevent transmission?

Source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8026810/

Exactly, why didn’t we all get that?

All I got was, “sit here for 15 minutes”.

I don't remember that for any other vaccine I’ve ever taken.

“We, the many, believe so much in the narrative that these vaccines are effective, despite the consistent spread of the disease it was aimed to stop, so much so that we will kick anyone out of society that does not agree with the collective mob. Most of which who are scientifically illiterate and get their news from talking heads and the revolving door of medical officials/pharma execs.”

Is this what you’re saying?

Galileo is rolling over in his grave.

Edit: also you didn’t decide shit.

The issue is much more nuanced.

I will gladly take an FDA approved vaccine like any other for such reasons.

None of the available ones right now are. Yes even Pfizer isn’t as the approved Pfizer vax (Comirnaty) is not the same exact vaccine as the one currently available/being used.

Edit: In short, many of us fear that the regulatory processes that govern our healthcare have been hijacked by corporate interest. We all know this leads to corners being cut as that’s inevitably how businesses are run.

Hospitalizations are up because the governing health agencies are actively making it difficult to access proven prophylactic treatments.

Odd thought: Even if ineffective against omicron, why would the government pause distribution of any, safe medicine? Doctor's should still be allowed to use it as they see fit, no?

You seem to misunderstand the entire reason the U.S. was created.

Don't like it, leave. Seriously.

Item 1 of the Nuremberg Code.

"The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential. This means that the person involved should have legal capacity to give consent; should be so situated as to be able to exercise free power of choice, without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress, over-reaching, or other ulterior form of constraint or coercion; and should have sufficient knowledge and comprehension of the elements of the subject matter involved, as to enable him to make an understanding and enlightened decision. This latter element requires that, before the acceptance of an affirmative decision by the experimental subject, there should be made known to him the nature, duration, and purpose of the experiment; the method and means by which it is to be conducted; all inconveniences and hazards reasonably to be expected; and the effects upon his health or person, which may possibly come from his participation in the experiment."

or spooks?
