@freemo Logic is "problematic".

@gpowerf The human brain is (currently) incapable of understanding the the origin of existence. I don't even think we are capable of evening exploring the first layer of the thick onion that is the universe.

That's just what I have thought for a long time.

@ceoln They follow your posts but aren't a follower of yours. An RSS feed of you.

@farooqkz that's true, if he wishes. @freemo

@farooqkz From years of being here, I think you are the first person (at least that I have seen) to be opposed to this. People don't have to use all the characters, theres a "show more" break so that it doesn't take up peoples screens, and if people choose, they can write it on a blog instead. Seems like your only offense is to the feature, is peoples choice to use it or not. @freemo

@freemo I just feel it would have been better to have an opt in/opt out selector per user at signup, vs by instance alone. Your instance block x y and z, you can choose to opt into defederation, or opt out by default.@Romaq

@jgg @101101000 I guess that's a concession? Have a food night

@jgg @101101000 those are fine reasons then. Do you appl them to all companies? I hope you stopped using Disney, Amazon, and Facebook after their recent firings of many more employees than Twitter. I hope you consider the exploitation of workers when you make purchases for real exploited workers, not just 6 figure salary Twitter employees. I really hope you haven't shopped at amazon recently after all the union busing they did.

Probably none of those. But get mad at a guy who buys twitter, and lays off 65% of its work force that loses 281 million dollatlrs last year. Ya, hes a crazy lunatic.

@jgg @101101000 exploitation of workers isn't a serious answer. If that were the case, people would be boycotting Apple.

Only serious answers are "because I was told to" or "I have a political bias". Maybe a few more.

@Romaq @weepjp he said “hi”.

@Pat ok

@Pat

You don't agree that if we outlawed motor vehicles, then motor vehicle accidents and deaths from motor vehicles would end? That's strange. It was to a larger point. We don't hermetically seal cities to accommodate bubble boys. It's unfortunate, but impractical. I just don't believe we should force every single person to wear masks/respirators to accommodate the few % of pop that are immuno-compromised. Maybe you aren't saying to do that. I think if someone is compromised, they kind find a very good solution in the N-95.

Fit testing is more than just checking a seal. I used to do them. To take full advantage of a respirator like that requires gas testing the seals. Most people that do it themselves do it incorrectly and lose the advantages of the respirators. That's all I was saying.

@Pat you can stop 100% of MVA and deaths caused by them if we outlaw cars.

Also, have you ever been fit tested for a respirator? The average person can't do it themselves. Also, no facial hair is a requirement for seal. So beards should be made illegal as well. N-95 is about 95% effective one way, vs estimated 92% for two way surgical. N-95 is a reasonable solution for those who want protection.
