> one is about helping society fight a disease/caring about others, the other is about taking away your own freedom to have or NOT to have a baby coming from an unwanted and violent action, because of ideology (religion, etc.).

Yes, they are about very different things, with the only common thread being if your own bodily autonomy trumps another's. Does your bodily autonomy trump that of an unborn childs bodily autonomy? Does you bodily autonomy trump that of some random person on the street.

> You can't compare the two at all.

Sure you can, I just did.

> You could claim that wearing a mask is about an ideology too: the one about making the society survive at all costs.

You could, but that would do nothing to counter the argument of bodily autonomy being a sacred right. So it would be a very poor argument if you did and wouldnt address the assertions at all.

> Fair enough. I think that's what the State should protect, though.

You are of course welcome to your opinion. So I certainly have no problem with you thinking whatever you like even if you are wrong.

I have had COVID 7 times so far (as a COVID research scientist I was tested often).

All of my dreadful health issues existed long before COVID. I did not get any long-term consequences that I can tell.

@sergeant Haha, enjoy :)

@DemocracyMattersALot

No the other mother can do that themselves by choosing to protect themselves such as with respirators or staying in doors. It is not someones elses responsibility to protect your child from your life choices.

@DemocracyMattersALot

Masks reduce a public health risk, and unborn children deserve a chance at life too.

But guess what bodily autonomy is sacred. You're rights end where mine begin. Just as you wrong to stop me from killing a fetus because i can do what I want with my body even if those choices hurt others. Same with masks, my bodily autonomy trumps everything else, killing fetuses, you getting sick, doesnt matter.

@DemocracyMattersALot

They are right about the mask, wrong about the baby. Bodily autonomy is sacred, no one should ever be able to tell you what you can do with your own body. That includes masks and babies.

@Grantscheam Where did you find this picture from 3024?

@N0ZB @bibliolater @psychology

A good example of this is the attempt to reduce school shootings to 0. Right now a new born child has a 2x higher chance of being struck by lightening in their life than do being shot in a school shooting.

Yet our desire to over optimize and take an exceedingly rare event and make it rarer will cause us to be unable to keep ourselves safe from other risks like violent crimes.

Interesting fact of the day: The origin of the octopusies' name remains a matter of debate among linguists. It is either due to the female of the species having 8 distinct vaginas, or because they only mate in October.

@lonelyowl13

The relevant point here isnt that children were killed but they were the overwhelming majority of those killed.

@charlesgaba

Wait, how did you determine that you increased it by 1%?

@JamesGleick

1) this only applyes to PoW type crypto, which is on its way out. Most other forms are not particularly wasteful.

2) These measures are not really an accurate way to measure it. It doesnt account for the fact that no additional energy is used unless the heat output of the mining computer exceeds the heat needed to keep your home warm. Up to that point there is 0 additional electricity cost and usage. This isnt accounted for in these numbers so they dont actually represent actual wasted electricity.

Accurate!

I am very happy to hear that, thank you.

@reviewer2

@reviewer2 No problem, thats the whole point of federation, so you dont have to feel your local admin is hostile towards you but is instead on your side. Otherwise might as well be on FB.

Obviously Epstein was a pedo.

Thats literally just a list of everyone epstein had a phone number for. A very far cry from a client list.
