I think it should. People should me able to say what they want. Even the most stupid or hateful things. They are thinking them anyway, it’s not like hat it’s going to disappear with a ban on hat speech. Hate speech is the expression of the hateful thinking but not the root.
Ban on hate speech would be like puting on a blind and thinking that you made the sun dissapear.
I suppose it’s due many people not seeing things as black or white, but as a variety of grays.
Then there’s the student who plays wanthunder and leaks a classified F-47 detailed blueprint onto the paper.
There are virus highly contagious with also high mortality. In this case death could happen after two months, enough time to spread if it had higher R0. What saves us here is that human to human spread is not that easy. If it were as contagious as covid we would have a problem.
It’s a relationship between how quickly it kills you and how quickly it spread.
For instance VIH had almost 100% death rate (before current treatments) but it’s pandemic because it takes years to kill you.
I have read a lot about it because I have stressed a lot about it, I’m also naturally very skeptical so I dig down a lot.
This particular variant is the Andes strain of the virus which have been show to transmit human.
It’s a virus that had existed for long time. And has already caused local epidemics. The most famous the Chilean Argentinian epidemic of 2019 where something like a dozen people died out of thirty infected.
Mortality is high (around 30% of infected, once you develop lung symptoms around 50%) but R0 number is low. Usually the studied R0 number has been below 1. This mean that each person rarely spread it to more than one other person. For comparison covid R0 was something between 2 and 4. This is the main reason to think it won’t spread a lot.
This virus has been around a lot, but it’s true that it has maybe never been in a situation like now with worries about quick international spread via airlines.
Currently most worries are about how easy is to actually spread human to human. There was a case of a flight attendant who was tested after a short contact with an infected but apparently has tested negative (her symptoms were apparently unrelated to the virus). So for now we must watch out if the people who were in flights with some of the infected have also been infected. If there are none or very few infected of those airplane passengers we could, most likely, breath safe, as the danger would be low. If we start to see infections after short contact then we should worry. As of this morning I start to believe that we are on the former scenario, as there has currently not been any positive test after a short contact.
My overall worry is that with globalization on the rise and international fast travel growing each year we will start seeing more and more of these epidemics. It’s just a question of time. From my point of view is not if there will be a pandemic virus that would wipe out a high chunk of the population. I think that’s guaranteed if we don’t change our traveling habits. It’s just a matter of when.
This particular strain apparently is the Andes variant which is know to be able to spread among humans. But the R0 number studied on previous epidemics of that strain is indeed low.
Where I live any debt (fines are considered debt) of a deceased person become part of their inheritance.
The receivers of the inheritance must accept it whole or not at all. If they choose not to inherit then the values of the inheritance are used to paid the debt as much as possible, and only then the debt is extinguished
Are there any real statistics about the real number of scams deployed via “sideloading non verified apps?”
I do not know the number. But I don’t think there are that many cases. Most scams I’ve seen have been via web or via a normal app downloaded on the appStore.
For some reason tons of developers moved that amazing concept to depend as much on Microsoft cloud as possible for their workflows.
Free at the point of service.
But I suppose for people not paying taxes is free overall.
One week for the primare care first appointment. The one that unless you have something very harmless wont be able to do anything for you anyway but refer to a specialist.
Physical therapy is one of the experts that could easily take 6 months to see.
One week is A LOT for health issues. It used to be that you could go in the same day, or the day after. But things have been going downhill for a while.
Spain. It’s free, as expected.
But quality have gone really down in the latest decade. To the point that I don’t actually feel really protected by it anymore.
Waiting lists are getting ridiculously long.
For a regular doctor you go to get a note for not working a few days can take a week or more to even see them. A specialist could easily take a year to see.
For this reason even we have free healthcare, more and more people is paying private healthcare on the side.
What’s the point?
It would be easier to install and more effective just have the same surface of solar panel to the side of the window instead of over it.
I do think of gay bars as spaces SAFE for gay people, not exclusive to us.
Going to tell Aristóteles that his monitor is unplugged for the billionth time must be tiring.
Complex question.
It’s really based on self identification. But most nb or fluid people I know, including myself, wont consider themselves trans. As most of the times there’s not that “transition”.
But of course many other nb could identify as trans and feel like they are going or has gone through a transition.
It’s a religious thing in general.
In my country there’s examples of religious sites changing hands several times.
For instance the San Vicente Mártir Church, were transformed into Cordoba Mosque when the Muslims invaded the Iberian peninsula, and then after the Reconquista Christians turned it into a Cathedral.
Religion is about power. And you cannot let the old power to preserve their place if you want your new power to hold control.
Last year I was a sad penguin because all denuvo crackers were retired.
Now I’m a happy penguin.

Not only I wouldn’t survive I would be that stupid character that makes the beloved character die because their idiocracy :3
I think it is mostly because people feel more free to express those thoughts because the president of the US share those thoughts.
But they thought like that to begin with, that’s why they voted for him.
I think it’s an uncomfortable truth, but people genuinely think like that not because they have been brainwashed or because propaganda. The same our political thoughts are based their political thoughts are based too.
I think it’s important not underestimate the opponent, because then we won’t really understand why it rose to power. I think it’s a mistake thinking that baning hate speech will prevent something like Trump getting elected. I live in Europe where hate speech is mostly banned. Still the turn to the far right is growing even faster and more right than the US. People don’t say nasty things in public, political representatives don’t say those things in public. Because there’s laws against that. But people think nasty things and say them in private all the time. Because they have developed a political thinking around that. And it’s not that simple as “they became radical because a political representative said a bad thing on twitter” they developed those political thoughts the same we all developed our political thoughts.
