They don’t want to be told they have to wear a mask or that people should stay home from work when they’re sick. Anything that would impinge on the rights of businesses to make money is against my freedoms.
It’s the climate crisis but for health. Some people just can’t bear to give up their treats in order to save lives.
I still make little static sites on occasion. There’s still free options for hosting, I’ve got some on GitHub and used to use netlify til they changed their free tier. Sticking a static site into aws s3 +cloud front is super cheap if you don’t have much traffic. The nice thing is that they run forever without any intervention.
My mum swears by Subaru cars as well for the same reason - she walked away from what should have been a fatal accident without hospitalisation.
Hexbear is the third oldest Lemmy instance and the largest by user activity, but wasn’t federated until recently. A bunch of people joined Lemmy without realising it was built by socialists and communists, and are mad that they have to be in the same space as them even though they were here first and built/are still building the place.
My chemistry teacher taught me a trick that knocks the pain back for a little bit - cold head and hot hands. Basically, cool my head down with ice wrapped in a small wet towel, while heating my hands up somehow. It’s supposed to pull the blood away from your head which lessens the pain.
Predictably Irrational is really good.
I feel like I read Chomsky’s books at a key point in my life where I didn’t really get all of it but it primed me for later learning. Good list overall 👍🏼
