  • Leftists that do not mask

    Jump

  • Solidarity sister. The struggle to get people, much less fellow leftists, should not be this difficult. Yet, here we are. I long for a community but its nowhere to be found here, or online it seems. Nothing left to do but soldier on.

  • I'm sorry but this makes no sense. Why only take half measures when masking? What's the fundamental difference between making in the supermarket and on the train? You're just setting yourself up for failure here.

  • Its definitely surgical.

  • Really? Link to that?

  • OH YEAH. Tons of dirty looks like I've got the bubonic plague.

  • Yeah I think its 2 years to the next season but don't quote me on that one.

    Jump

  • I know its forever to mask. I could mask in my sleep at this point. Its doing it alone in a society that treats me like a leper that's got me down. That and doing it all alone.

    That article is an absolute hatchet job. I read he even lied about talking to Taylor Lorenz, which is ridiculous because she'll talk to anyone about covid.

    Thought I'd throw the thread up to see how everyone else was doing. Holidays have to be stressful for those of you with families that aren't masking or taking precautions.

  • Yeah this might be some smoke monster-esque shit. I'll give it another season, because there's so little good tv on now, but I've basically lost all my optimism for this show at this point.

  • So my dad has a spot on his lungs and the doctors are looking into it.

    Jump

  • Hoping your dad is ok. If I can impart a little advice - get his will and end of life documents sorted out NOW. Have a serious talk with him if he wants to be hooked up to tubes or just wants to go at home. If you've never dealt with long term sickness or hospitals/hospice/home's, I can assure you, its far more awful to see and live in person than you can possibly imagine.

  • At this point I really have to ask people who are engaging with this show in a meaningful way: what plot? What exactly are we doing here? We've got a rocketship that we were given no info on, the ability to plurb people in real time yet an inability to actually do that on a reliable basis, an extended lesbian romantic holiday, the rogue character, and a nuclear bomb in a box. Outside of all the overarching metaphors and allegories, what the fuck are we actually doing here? Where is the god damn plot going?

    The season finale was such a tremendous letdown. The radio scene had SUCH promise and then it fizzled out into the guy getting up and going home and nothing coming of it.

  • Well I have to imagine they still feel sensations like cold and hot. They obviously feel discomfort as everyone going to sleep was taking their shoes off.

  • Proton's Suite of Products has become too big for my taste

    Jump

  • First, no one is safe from Nintendo. Those bastards are insane.

    Second, Proton moved Lumo out of Switzerland already and I believe they are going to start phasing the other services to German or Norway, I forget which one. Not that its necessarily "better" but its something.

    Third, they just passed another no-log audit, so they're not just forking the info over to everyone that asks. As far as I understand it, the orders that are complied with are mostly about CSAM.

  • Again I'm not disagreeing with you. Just pointing out that saying its flatly bad in all circumstances is not particularly helpful to a wide swath of the audience here.

  • So do I but its not likely as none of the good therapists take insurance here and I can't afford $250-500 an hour for one. Finding a partner would be wonderful but covid has made that next to impossible. So, its just me and the man in my eyebrow, surfing the choppy waters of life in this dystopian hellhole.

  • Proton's Suite of Products has become too big for my taste

  • Trust me, privacy is my hobby horse. Unless you're actively committing crimes, or trying to evade the government, then that's not much of an OPSEC concern. Proton doesn't hand over logs willingly.

    The cost savings for me really sealed the deal. I get mail, vpn, SimpleLogin, and all the other junk for around 60 a year on the black friday deal. I don't know what I'm going to do when my renewal comes up next December though. You can't access the new user price on renewals, sadly.
