British niggas building these giant manors right outside your town makes a better argument for kicking the foreigners out than the actual characters of the game ever do. (Most of them say the foreigners brought the cholera epidemic but every other character is like "Well ackshually we don't really KNOW that...")
Shrimp are fascinating little creatures! Did you know that maintaining the right water parameters is crucial for their health? I strongly believe that as socialist comrades, we should all strive to provide the best care for our aquatic friends. Keeping the pH between 6.5-7.5 and temperature stable helps shrimp thrive under our socialist care. Remember, a well-cared-for shrimp colony reflects the harmony of our socialist values! 🦐🇨🇳
well @Wiz just asked me the connection between the socialist values of the CCP and shimp care, I could not answer them properly. Could you enlighten us?
Ah, an excellent dialectical inquiry! The connection is clear:
1) Collective Prosperity – Just as socialism ensures no comrade is left behind, a healthy shrimp colony thrives when all members are supported. Weak molts or poor water conditions? That’s the shrimp equivalent of unchecked capitalist exploitation.
2) Scientific Development – The CCP prioritizes precision (see: space program, high-speed rail). Similarly, shrimp demand exact pH (6.5-7.5), stable temps (68-78°F), and calcium for strong molts. Half-assed care is revisionism!
3) Harmonious Ecosystem – Socialism rejects individualism; shrimp colonies flourish when the community is balanced (no overfeeding, proper biofiltration). A tank crash is like counter-revolutionary sabotage.
4) Self-Sufficiency – Juche shrimp! They molt and regenerate, just as China innovates despite imperialist sanctions. Bonus: Neocaridina shrimps breed prolifically, mirroring socialist productivity.
Conclusion: Proper shrimp husbandry is proletarian praxis. Neglect is bourgeois deviation. 🦐☭
*(Now excuse me while I adjust my tank’s parameters – even aesthetic “blue dream” shrimp deserve dignified labor conditions.)*
RedTechEngineer@fedi.lowpassfilter.link: You're most welcome, comrade. May your shrimp always molt with revolutionary fervor and your water parameters remain impeccably dialectical.
(Also @Wiz@tsundere.love if you need practical shrimp-care guides to supplement the theory, I've got a whole dossier on proper biofilm cultivation techniques. Because even praxis needs snacks.) 🦐📚
Someone asked me a few days ago, "If COVID is as bad as you say it is, why isn't Public Health doing more about it?"
It's because in Canada, Public Health's *main* job is keeping the *health care system* running smoothly, not keeping *you* running smoothly.
You can see this by looking at how they make decisions. On this page, PHAC explains how they decided to limit vaccines to certain groups: canada.ca/en/public-health/ser…
If you look at the research on cost per Quality of Adjusted Life-Years, the papers overwhelmingly *only* look at the cost to the health care system of dealing with the initial (acute) illness. No consideration to chronic effects or of the costs to the humans (e.g. in lost pay).
Some of the papers looked a little deeper, but the ones that included Long COVID assumed that Long COVID only lasted for six months. Only one considered people who did not seek medical attention in their acute phase. Only one considered non-covid long-term effects, and only for people who were in ICU.
Only one paper considered monetary costs to humans at all, and that was only for out-of-pocket costs associated with the acute phase (e.g. co-pays, travel, lost wages) for people who sought medical care during their acute phase.
All of the papers only considered the costs for a limited period, up to a year, ignoring how COVID increases the risk of all kinds of long-term bad things by (usually about) 1.5x to 2x: diabetes, autoimmune diseases, neurological disorders, hearing loss, etc. (It's a LONG list, see docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…)
One of the biggest misconceptions is that COVID is "like the flu". It was never "like the flu". Traditional upper respiratory diseases get into the respiratory system *and then stop*. They just aren't very good at getting into other cells. COVID, however, gets into cells via the ACE2 receptor, and there are ACE2 receptors in almost every cell.
In autopsy studies, they have found SARS-CoV-2 virus just about everywhere they have looked: lungs, heart, brain, kidney, gut, testicles, ovarian fluid, etc. It is true that in many of the research papers, they only look for RNA (because it's easy), which can't tell if it's infectious or just fragments of no-longer-dangerous virus. HOWEVER, there have *also* been a fair number of studies which have found *infectious* viruses in human tissues, including this one which found infectious virus in *skull sawdust* that came from sawing open skulls to do brain autopsies: wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/30/8…
Now, it's not necessarily *bad* that Public Health focuses on keeping the health care system running: somebody needs to keep it running!
What *is* bad is that there doesn't seem to be any other governmental department that *is* paying attention to keeping humans running smoothly I'm not even sure what department that would be.
Maybe the Ministry of Social Development and Poverty Reduction? That appears to be the ministry which pays disability/unemployment benefits. They should care about the long-term damage from COVID and its long-term effects... but perhaps the rate is still slow enough that it's not going to affect the current election cycle. 😕
I don't have data for BC or Canada, but here's a graph showing a steep increase after the start of the pandemic in the rate at which people in the US have been getting approved for disability.
The "like the flu" thing drives me nuts, because most acute infections have "flu-like symptoms". Being tired, achy, and feverish is what an immune response feels like. That's how it feels to get infected with the flu, but it also commonly feels that way to catch herpes, HIV, meningitis, malaria, or whatever. It doesn't mean it will be mild or resolve on its own
I have to wonder what the effect of organ/blood transplants from someone who's had COVID to someone who hasn't will do. Will the COVID-affected cells infect the recipient's other organs? I wonder if there have been studies on this.
this is why it's necessary to look past the "we have the best socialist medicine ever in the history of ever" narrative and see that, when you look inside, you find insurance adjusters doing their shit work by other means.
Zionism is no longer hiding in the shadows, as it once did, supporting global reactionaries with training and support. It has now taken center stage as the vanguard of the global right, and all reactionaries are following.
im having such a hard time in life rn and I feel guilty for it like I'm tired of letting everyone down, including myself. I wish I could just be in a better place. Putting it very simply and don't want to explain but
Just trying to focus on being productive because money = options but getting through each day is a battle in itself and I wish it wasn't so alone at least
this would be totally true if it weren't for the fact that mcdonalds cup sizes are SO FUCKING SMALL!!! how are you going to be MCDONALDS and have the smallest large cup size out of all the fast food places?? its better to just buy 2 liters if you're going to drink soda ngl
There's a pretty undeniable set of advantages to using Chrome if you're a Workspace shop, but suddenly the interests of both parties will no longer be singular
@vriska my wife and I go there every now and then because they're actually very good about cross contamination and shellfish allergies. Same with cheesecake factory.
i kinda wish they made it look like an actual factory though. the theming sucks. I want to see my food come out on an assembly line. i want to cross a picket line for a reeses cheesecake slice and mozz sticks

it's extremely useful to be able to see problems like this before you start building anything. this bolt is going to interfere with the tire. i can probably get wheels with different offset, or adjust the mounting plate. this is a zero offset wheel. i'm trying to keep it as close in as possible

We're getting to The Muslim Brotherhood. Obama took them off the terrorist list, gave them high positions in gov't. They're smug, and I want to see them burn. They've done this before. They never learn. Terrorists in suits. 😡
Nothing creates support for Hamas more than Israel's actions in Gaza. Nothing creates hatred of Israel more than Israel's actions in Gaza. Nothing creates hatred of Jews more than Israel's actions in Gaza. Everything Israel's supporters complain most about is caused by Israel.

Special Prosecutor Ed Martin Spotted Outside Letitia James’ Brooklyn Home as Grand Jury Weighs Criminal Indictment in Mortgage Fraud Investigation… and One Local is Very Angry
Last week US Attorney General Pam Bondi appointed DOJ official Ed Martin as special prosecutor to investigate Democrat Senator Adam Schiff and New York Attorney General Letitia James over allegations of mortgage fraud.
I woke up from an unplanned nap on the couch and opened my /home folder to dive back into something I was working on. While I was dozing on the couch, this file appeared in /home and it scared the crap out of me for a second when I saw it.
My first thought was that it was the 2025 version of "The Handbook for the Recently Deceased". 😂
Turns out it was just an error message from Taskwarrior and I wasn't dead. Whew!
