they don’t prevent it, they make it less likely. which is still good obviously, but long covid for vaccinated people is a massive issue. vaccinated individuals are more likely to believe the vaccine makes them immune and therefore don’t need to mask.
there is no herd immunity against covid without a sterilizing vaccine
they don’t need to worry about something that doesn’t exist beyond DoD LARPing parties
Rock is a lady’s modesty, Bocchi, Girls band cry and BanG Dream! It’s MyGO got me wanting to be in a lesbian polycule. oh, and it also made me pick up my guitar again
Russia considers all of Ukraine to be part of Russia, so getting any of that land back would be doing them a favor according to Putin

To receive the money collected through fundraisers, Palestinians need to work with a “receiver”, someone outside of Gaza who sets up the campaign and collects the money on their behalf and wires the money through their banks. That’s because the platforms use payment processors that do not operate in Gaza.

Most of the people I come across are real, they only appear like scams because we still can’t come to terms with the fact that all Gazans are starving therefore they all have to pick up this full time job of fundraising from strangers.
Most of the money that gets pocketed goes to the western NGOs because their bureaucracy kills people through incompetence and racism. Donating to individuals and mutual aid orgs on the ground will always be more effective than relying on “respectability creds”.
If you’re looking for better places to donate to, here’s a list: https://itsgoingdown.org/your-guide-on-how-to-support-mutual-aid-groups-in-palestine-as-humanitarian-crisis-deepens/
I’m still waiting for that universal healthcare. didn’t most European health systems stop mandating masks?

the beatings will continue until the populace stops thinking pirates are cool
shakes fist I remember when they tried to pass off a race riot as “I simply dislike disco, rock is just better”
and that’s a false assumption as well that only exists because of puritans
what a weird comment to make
you could buy a used Google pixel, they’re the only brand that lets you unlock the bootloader and lock it again after installing a custom ROM.
edit: forgot to mention, the only user modifiable bootloader that also offers good security by not ignoring all the Android security updates or refusing to use a secure element for verified boot.
fun fact, they had a lot of teenagers joining who were insistent on being given access to a gun. the older cadres would refuse to hand them a gun until they were up to date on their reading material and had proven themselves by doing exemplary fieldwork over a sustained period of time.
buying a gun by itself won’t do anything but act as a trophy. the reason their public carry campaign had profound impacts was because they organized their communities to act as a united front first.
also the most radical chapters knew how to respect their own autonomy over the national leadership’s sometimes nonsensical dictats. horizontal organizing and direct action gets the job done.
i see this as similar to teaching your family not to click on malware pop-ups. you first make it easier for them by installing adblock. then you teach them how to pirate so they can source their own media. then maybe they’ll pick up some OS skills by learning about file extensions. drip-feeding information that makes them feel smart and autonomous over a long period of time is the way to go in my opinion.
by marketing genAI as spamware and encouraging community book clubs, hopefully people will realize that genAI use is a maladaptive coping mechanism. i think shunning is also a very powerful tool, framing genAI use as crossing the picket line and being a scab is a metaphor I enjoy.

When you massacre non-combatants, women, and children as factually did happen its genocide
this is word for word what the French did to Haitians. that was the only genocide that ever happened during the Haitian Revolution. implying that racism against white colonizers is possible or if you’re a white supremacist claiming that resisting a Holocaust is akin to committing genocide is a genocide denier’s talking point.
it doesn’t matter who you vote for, liberate the concentration camps through direct action and the political consensus will adapt to fit that result
