Eventually some redneck is going to be the reason why an emergency drone wasn't able to provide emergency assistance.

And it's quite possible that they could cost a life.

The internet likes to joke, but there are serious implications to hating on tech constantly and never talking about the good it can do.

These ignorant people are only exposed to drones violating privacy, they don't even consider that there's good being done.. again, because you're too busy making Terminator jokes.

[systlin]

You didn’t have to absolutely deepthroat the boot like that, man.

the police: *spy on people using loopholes in surveillance law*

@altruistech: actually theoretically it could have medical implications in the future :/

Unless the drone is flying high enough to be in federal airspace, which is 400 feet, that counts as trespassing. And in ohio you are allowed to use basic force to keep someone off your property (ex beer bottles.) These people have the right to throw their beer bottles at the police drones.

[lastvalyrian]

is an emergency drone gonna give me cpr what does that even mean

[itscoldinwonderland]

Break police drones 💕

[nunyabizni]

If they're over your property, while I'm not 100% on the laws about these things, I'm still thinking if they're low enough to hit with a bottle they're 100% invading your personal space and if it's your back yard or anywhere not visible from the street they should get a warrant or face a good old fashioned bottle bonk.

Some hospitals have shut down their maternity/obstetrics departments because of people quitting over the mandates. Not many yet, but I saw a few on a list today in different parts of the country.

Stunner! Expert says 'FDA-approved' Pfizer shot is NOT what people have been getting

In a much-trumpeted announcement this week the Food and Drug Administration said it was approving for general use the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccin

Very Enlightening! Must Read!

[nunyabizni]

He said, "The product that's licensed is the BioNTech product which is substantially similar but not necessarily identical. It's called Comirnaty … and it's not yet available. They haven't started manufacturing it or labeling it and that's the one that the liability waiver will no longer apply."

He said. "So the one that's actually licensed is not yet available and when it does become available it will no longer have the liability shield."

TL:DR; there’s going to be a minor difference in parts of the formula which won’t actually change it’s effectiveness but is enough of a difference for the two to be considered “legally” different.

They’re doing this to keep the liability shields in place for the remainder of the first formula that they’ve been using which will be gone with the FDA approved version.

Meaning if the “approved” vaccine makes you sick you can sue, but they haven’t started producing that one on any great scale.

If you were waiting for the FDA approved version, keep waiting till it is actually available and insist on that one when you go to get your jab.

With heavy hearts, we mourn the tragic loss of 13 soldiers of the U.S. military who were killed earlier today by terrorist attacks in Kabul, Afghanistan. We also wish a speedy recovery to the 15 U.S. military soldiers injured during the attacks. We stand with our oldest ally against terror and in pursuit of peace. We remember these heroes who died defending freedom and send our deepest condolences to the families of the fallen.

[egalitarianchica]

If a man wants to wear a dress, great. But if they make pants specifically for women, they should also make dresses specifically for men.

[egalitarianchica]

Something like this but that can be worn without pants would be great.

[the-bara-enjoyer]

Finally someone agrees with my take.

Like look at men wearing modern dresses and then look something like long ottoman clothing for men(which is a dress tbh).

It's obvious the latter example is designed to look good on men, while the former isn't

[dashaibo]

Look at various styles of male dresses found in different cultures of India, for example

Been saying that for close to a decade.

[dukeofdelirium]

Misandrists be like “male suicide is over 70% of all suicides because men are just more aggressive and so they choose a more violent way to kill themselves and they aren’t even considerate to how others feel meanwhile females are dainty and caring and usually try to swallow pills because they aren’t violent”

like no... if anything, that just shows us that males on average actually want to die and are very unlikely to try and seek help before doing so.

[the-bara-enjoyer]

You're incorrect actually.

Hospitals count self harm as suicide attempts. Women self harm more and the stat is inflated

Most suicidal men do seek help, they just don't receive it and usually get mocked for it.

Misandry doesn't just make light of the problem

It actively makes it worse

There’s nothing more permanent than a temporary government solution.

[argumate]

seems that Chrome has around 60-65% market share, so it’s not totally dominating the market yet but it’s worrying that we’re basically reliant on Apple and Microsoft to hold the line.

[th4nkyoub3n]

Does Firefox not count for anything?

[argumate]

about 10% and falling, but perhaps that can change, I just don’t see how.

[argumate]

Chrome edging towards 70% on desktop, Microsoft has thrown in the towel, Safari obviously rules iOS, Firefox exists only as insurance for Chrome.

[ms-demeanor]

Please, please I’m begging you, use firefox.

PLEASE install firefox as a mobile browser and then run adblock on your mobile browser it’s so good I promise.

Look.

Look.

I know I’m a total grind about open source stuff but browsers are the PERFECT place to learn to love open source software and for so long FireFox was a major part of the browser market and sometimes if you want to see what kind of fuckery google is up to it helps to see the kinds of things they block in firefox and just

There’s an organization that makes free, excellent, safe software that doesn’t collect and market your data but for some reason two thirds of the world uses a google product and most of the leftover population uses apple and just

I promise, firefox is so good - the extensions are incredible look - I can use lightbeam to see what sites I use and how they connect to other sites (bottom right should give you an idea how much time I spend on tumblr)

or I can look at ublock origin and see that it’s blocked over 2 million requests since I installed it or I can run the facebook container extension and stop facebook from tracking me and you know what I bet you can do a lot of that on chrome too but you’re doing that while chrome itself is tracking you and gobbling up your activity for google and

firefox is so fuckin great and it’s such a great ambassador for other open source projects please be a big old fuckin nerd with me and use firefox and run a bunch of funky extensions and customize the fuck out of your web experience.

Wanna be a hacker? Firefox.

Wanna use instagram on desktop? Firefox.

Wanna be a killer researcher? Firefox.

Wanna properly credit artists? Firefox.

Wanna read a whole shitload of books? Firefox.

Wanna make video responses to shitlord youtubers?

Wanna shoot cat lasers at bugs?

Wanna use youtube as a music streaming service?

FIREFOX.

I just love firefox okay.

[bookloveranddesigner]

[firefox-official]

hey guys

[overlyactivepingpongball]

Also google DEVOURS your ram while Firefox doesn’t use any more than it has to

[headspacedad]

I was recently told by a data marketing friend that Google ‘facebooks’ your search results - ie. they use your past searches to decide what web sites they’ll bring up for your current searches - ie. you’re getting put into an echobox for info without even realizing it. Firefox DOESN’T do that and just gives you the full spectrum of search results. Why this is SO important - because if you’re looking for facts, Google is only going to give you the ‘facts’ it thinks you want to see while Firefox will give you ALL the facts. also, old news from a few years ago I found out while researching self-publishing: Google lets web sites pay them to put their sites at the top of search results. So if I wanted to manipulate things, I would pay for twelve web sites to pop up first with Google all stating my version of the facts and rely on the fact that people don’t usually search below that number. use Firefox. Use duckduckgo. Use ublock origin. Be smart.

[noisypaintersong]

Firefox + uBlock Origin = YouTube WITH NO ADS!!!!!!!!!!

Literally the only problem I have with Firefox on mobile is if I close it completely then it takes me back to the top of the page I was reading on AO3 - but that’s not such a big problem, it usually doesn’t take me forever to find my place again. And there might even be a way to fix it that I just haven’t looked into yet.

Seriously though guys, Firefox is great!

Seems like we're still lowballing the number, unless we're just doing prisoners and not including things like the Holodomor.

[sindri42]

Yeah that’s only official prisoners and executions. Doesn’t include any of the people who just got “disappeared”, doesn’t include any of the people who were shot for refusing to give up all their food, and definitely doesn’t include any of the people who starved to death because all their food was confiscated.

[actual-ayn-rand]

Didnt... didnt they slow down the purge at some point @dasha-aibo

[dashaibo]

The purge only OFFICIALLY lasted from 1936 to 1938 and Holodomor from 1932 to 1933. People forget Stalin was in office for 29 years, he had a lot of time to do very different atrocities.

[vibropulse]

And honestly, shit probably would have been worse if Lenin or Trotsky lasted longer.

[dashaibo]

Lenin, probably just the same, prodrazverstka was essentially Early Access Holodomor and he very much did political purges.

Trotsky would've been way, WAY worse. There's a reason people sided with Stalin over him. Man was a monster and would've not stopped until he conquered the entire world or died.

[dairymoos]

Most people don’t realize that conventional dairy already has been focused on sustainability, we just don’t advertise

- We sequester carbon with the crops growing for the cows

- We use organic fertilizer from the cows instead on relying on synthetic fertilizers

- We recycle all our water to grow crops for the cows

- Cows up-cycle food byproducts into usable nutrition that would otherwise go to a landfill

Cows are a valuable part of the earths ecology and ecosystems. Many dairy farms today are installing methane digesters- that take cow manure, capture the emissions, and make renewable power. Installing these systems make dairies carbon negative meaning they are taking out more emissions than they are creating.

[dashaibo]

Urbanites are so naïve if they think increased gas taxes won't hurt them. I mean, sure, you can ride on public transport, Tesla or a bike in the city just fine, but you know who can't? Long-haul truckers and farmers, meaning the food prices will skyrocket for everyone.

Not to mention how this will drive smaller farmers, stores and truck companies out of business and OH LOOK, THIS JUST ENDED UP HELPING THE MEGACORPS, WHO WOULD'VE THOUGHT!

[amalgamasreal]

To add to this: There is currently a 120% attrition rate in long haul truckers right now across at the very least North America, that's right, they enter each year with 20% less employees than the year before. I know this because my SO used to work for the largest trucking company in the US and they were willing to give crazy sign-on bonuses to anyone willing to stay on for at least a year. That still wasn't enough to get people behind the drivers seat.

It's a dying industry in a time when it couldn't be more important but because urbanites think that their packages/groceries/etc just magically appear they can't even imagine what their actions are doing to the very supply line of all the things they need.
