Completely agree.

But I also think if you have the priviledge to be able to minimise waste yourself, you should definitely do it.

@[email protected], it’s okay if you don’t understand, before I had faced widespread systemic violence and oppression by the system and watched family be mistreated and die preventable deaths, I’m not sure I would have understood either.

By the way, welcome to lemmy! I hope you enjoy it here :)

We need to recognise social murder as murder.

Thousands of people die preventable deaths every day because of health insurance not covering basic measures, but people online spend more effort defending the life of one CEO, than those millions of cumulative deaths.

The unheard pleas and screams for help of millions of people are being ignored so a couple rich people can uphold their hierarchy. It’s inevitable that some of the oppressed people will crack, here it was Luigi, a rich and privileged kid, who couldn’t deal with the sort of stuff poor disabled and marginalised folk deal with every day.

But yet we also see him as a sort of symbol, standing for the collective pain we have felt, the relatives and friends who have died preventable deaths, someone who stood up and sent a message to the people causing so much suffering.

Most won’t agree with how he did it, and that’s okay, but you’ve got to admit, your “letter” comparison doesn’t make sense. He could have sent a letter, and it would have been ignored, just like the millions of pleas for help were.

“I will never accept any decisions between the United States and Russia about Ukraine, never,” Zelenskyy told “Meet the Press” moderator Kristen Welker on Friday in Munich, Germany. “This is the war in Ukraine, against us, and it’s our human losses.”

Yep. S01 and S02 of American Dad are watchable too, and then it becomes bigoted slop.

Those shows both started off lefty, and then became “mainstream” so they had to make fun of leftists, which meant basically being racist, ableist etc.

OSM frontend.

there’s no totally FOSS maps app on IOS, but a free OSM frontend is about as good as you’re going to get.

 

COVID-19 infection—even mild cases—can cause substantial long-term changes in the immune system that may be implicated in long COVID, concludes a new observational study by Medical University of Vienna (MUV) researchers published in Allergy.

 

Good news everyone, wars over! (/s)

 

Along with claiming the lives of 1.2 million Americans, the covid-19 pandemic has been described as a mass disabling event.

Estimates of prevalence range considerably, depending on how researchers define long covid in a given study, but the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention puts it at 17 million adults.

Despite long covid’s vast reach, the federal government’s investment in researching the disease — to the tune of $1.15 billion as of December — has so far failed to bring any new treatments to market.

 

Bernice A. King, MLK's daughter, told an audience at Atlanta's Ebenezer Baptist Church that advocates "will remain woke" against rollbacks of civil rights gains as the new administration's agenda takes hold.
