Fact: a factoid is not a fact. It also was not invented by Jerry Lewis, though that would make a good factoid.

Yes. Because the passport is the active ingredient, with the vehicle for it being the vaccine.
As usual, the issue is lack of a formalization of paralogic, which leads to fleetingly interpolated paralogics.
 
Na, it's more that the vaccine passport keeps the irresponsible people away. Which definitely helps.

Helps in a metaphysical way :p
I mean, the vaccinated can obviously spread the virus to others where they go, including vaccinated and non-vaccinated there, so it should be dangerous.

I also doubt that rapid/other routine testing for covid is higher among those vaccinated.
 
Since the anti-vax crowd has a high fraction of nutters, including people who oppose testing, because there's... what was that... nanomaterials in the swaps, and they stab you in the brain, etc, I would actually assume that the average test rate is higher in the vaccinated population ;).

So I made a group consisting mostly of end-users, mostly are acquaintances of us. We want to give priority to them because they are somewhat peoples that we collected by our own, but so far they are not that active and most of our sales are from a different platform.

So I made a crazy deal just to agitate them and see how they reacted. I auction on that group a commodity that I put the minimum bid only 1/10 of the initial price, for sure it's a loss, I just "burning" my money, it's basically a give-away. And no one takes the bait, they read it, they saw it, but no one except one person who bid it, she also bid it at the lowest. So I guess I sell it to her at the lowest price.

I found this phenomenon so unique when peoples are already in an idle state, they tend to refuse, no matter what in front of their nose, no matter how crazy the deal is, their reaction is just "nope not interested".

Please don't sell the pollution to the third world thread :(

Some covid thoughts are random.

Like... I'm getting my money's worth out of my rent, since I've rarely left my apartment since March 2020.

But I will have to soon, as the province has opened up eligibility for boosters so I don't have to wait until January to book mine.
 
Only selfish people can perform truly altruistic acts.

If we assume that "normal" people who perform good acts have either

1) a positive emotional response after performing said act (ex: seeing other people happy because of this good thing I did makes me happy)
2) a negative emotional response if they don't perform said act (ex: if I didn't do this thing I'd view myself as a selfish uncaring person)

then the only purely altruistic act, meaning an act where the person gets absolutely no benefit out of it emotional or otherwise, is when the person regrets doing it. (ex: Those internet self-help gurus said anonymously donating money to charity would make me feel fulfilled but really deep down inside I wanted to buy that yacht)
 
Many real-world problems will sneak into this new world. An early tester of Facebook’s Horizon Worlds posted a few weeks ago that her avatar was groped by another avatar. I had to think for a while about whether that was even possible. I’m against all sexual harassment, and this shows the metaverse has a lot of rules and boundaries to work through.
 

That is rather problematic, though. "Groping" is a physical act, and it should not concern avatars.
Afaik many people in the avatar-based youtubing/streaming end up identifying with their avatar, but it won't end well if you try to see computer graphics as actual people. What if someone hacks into the program and makes your digital avatar appear maimed? Should they be charged with attempted murder? :)
 
Pennsylvania state Rep. Chris Rabb (D) introduced “parody” legislation this fall in response to the Texas law that amounts to a near-total ban on abortion. Rabb’s proposal would require men to get vasectomies after the birth of their third child or when they turn 40, whichever comes first. It would be enforced by allowing Pennsylvanians to report men who failed to comply, for a $10,000 reward.

“As long as state legislatures continue to restrict the reproductive rights of cis women, trans men and nonbinary people, there should be laws that address the responsibility of men who impregnate them. Thus, my bill will also codify ‘wrongful conception’ to include when a person has demonstrated negligence toward preventing conception during intercourse,” Rabb wrote in a memo about his proposal, as reported by the Keystone.

Well, naturally. If cis men got periods, then sanitary products would likely have been provided free or at cost for decades now.
