@realcaseyrollins Because gender is fluid you homophobe :)

@mur2501

Depends on which birthdate you want to purchase. They are priced rather affordably at anywhere from 5$ to 25$ depending on the date you want.

@mur2501

I got a box full of thousands of different birthdays, most of them I got off various people (thought one or two are from the occasional dog and even a pigeon)... I can sell you a few birthdays if you need them, I have some high quality american ones too!

@stux

@mur2501

I'll let you know when i get your card, and more importantly, birthday gift in the mail.

Feel free to guess as many times as you'd like :)

@stux

@stux @mur2501

Wait what? If today is my birthday my mom has some explaining to do.

@stux

I hope you atleast took all the money out in single bills and rolled around on it naked in your bed for an hour or two before you spent it all!

@realcaseyrollins

Yea in the few minutes i spent looking it up since you mentioned it I saw something similar though you got some important details backwards (assuming my source was accurate).

Basically early on he told people not to wear masks. In email it showed he actually thought wearing masks were effective despite telling people not to wear them (in the email he said they are effective for infected people to wear them but did nothing for healthy people).

Basically people were mad at them because he was telling them not to wear masks when really he knew that was bad advice. Apparently Fauci responded to that allegationa nd justified it by saying he was trying to prevent people overbuying masks and leaving none for the medical professionals.

Side note, if we accept that masks are effective but only when infected people wear it and there is little need for uninfected people wearing it then this would in fact been a reasonable argument that everyone should wear a mask, since we often dont know who is or is not infected until they have already been infectious for some time.

Thanks for keeping things running while I was away. I'm back now in case anyone needs anything.

@timorl

Hmm, seems like an odd thing for Rs to posture. They tend to have the larger portion of the "masks are ineffective group" and being the angry mob that goes after Fauci for saying masks are ineffective and claiming he lied in making that statement doesnt really sound like the R's MO in that regard.

Also im not sure how that is even framed as lie or there is an e-mail leak confirming it. Can you link me to the email where he was caught expressing the statement despite knowing it is a lie? Afterall early on in the COVID epidemic even the WHO was making public statements about the ineffectiveness of masks so wouldnt strike me as something straightforward enough to even call a lie in either direction.

@realcaseyrollins

@icedquinn You mean animals? :)

You will need to be more specific.. we talking about engineering AIs out of neurons.

@Raviranjankumar In all seriousness thats not usually an option for me as fountain pens dont tend to write well over whitener, especially with flex.

@realcaseyrollins I never had much respect for fauci just because he seemed to care more about a narrative than the facts. Not so much that I thought he was a liar but just that he would cherry pick his facts and choose his language to meet his agenda, and I'm not a fan or that. So he told people what they wanted to hear and I'm never a fan.

With that said I am a bit surprised he went to the point of all out lies, intentionally.

What sort of lies was he caught telling I wonder...

@Raviranjankumar I only use pens :)

@FroehlichMarcel

While that is doable code wise the hard part is convincing other serves on the fedi to turn on text indexing.

@AmpBenzScientist

@FroehlichMarcel

Also, and perhaps more importantly, each individual account on qoto can device if they want to turn webcrawlers on or off in your account settings. This will essentially tell well-behaved search indexers (like google or even fediverse specific searchings such as those in clients) whether you allow indexing of your content or not.

@AmpBenzScientist

@FroehlichMarcel

Each individual server decides if and how to index. If its vanilla mastodon not much indexing happens, if it is pleorma or another flavor of server in the fediverse your full text will be indexed in most cases regardless of what flavor of server your on.

Our local instance enables full text indexing and can search with some restrictions which we may wind up opening up a bit more (has little to do with indexing and more to do with allowing some advanced searches in the UI).

@AmpBenzScientist

@FroehlichMarcel @AmpBenzScientist Sorry been away for a while now, just got back (didnt have internet connection at sea).

Can I still help with something?

@PestToast not very far, stayed in the same region of the ocean mostly.
