What an irrational stretch of logic to conflate natural respiration with deliberately intending to harm someone. Breathing freely doesn't harm you, get over yourself or maybe get a therapist because this is an unhealthy degree of neuroticism and little science. And none of the solutions proposed come close to achieving the supremely simplistic view of a radical ideologue.
Define worst hit. Because this statement is blatantly wrong when factoring in population size, death rate, demographics and a bunch of other factors which exist in the real world and not your FUD bubble
This is absurd and disregard for the inalienable right to freedom. Your don't dictate what people must do to protect YOU - that's your responsibility. This narcissistic logic is the same that would dictate you lose weight and ride yourself of other comorbidities to protect society as a whole from viruses at all times...
If you're fearful, then get yourself a sophisticated portable air filtration system.
They literally made me do this when going to a doctor apt recently. Took it off and just used their stupid mask even though mine is safer for me when I don't have covid but am forced to go into an place where it's far more likely to be present.
Many of the vented masks come with N95 inserts as they are intended to filter inhaled air of particles - originally for mountain biking in dusty climates
Can you provide any evidence of this claim? A bandana can be any textile and certainly doesn't filter exhaled air. Being made largely of cotten and rarely washed, they also become virus spreaders if someone infected yet asymptomatic saturates a mask and proceeds to aerosol it around all day like a chum trail of plague.
Bandana is the worst option, especially compared to many vented masks actually use N95 filters preventing the inhalation of covid to begin with - and much more securely than your earloop equivalent
This is labelled as "miscaptioned" which is embarrassingly obvious politispeak for a LIE. Not only did Trump NOT dump ALL the food in the koi pond as fake news media breathlessly reported (with intentionally deceptive editing), but he was actually following the exact same action taken by Abe as a dignified courteous guest would do as a sign of respect for a highly regarded leader from a foreign culture.
The very first line of the introduction has most blatant heavy handed QUALITATIVE assessment of ZeroHedge as an example of a conspiratorial site which is as antithetical to true science as you can get. In fact, the term conspiracy theory was itself developed by the CIA to discredit any leaks about various clandestine activities they intended to keep this way. This is a bad faith argument and sets the stage for everything to come, culminating in the true intention which is to continue the marxist left on free thought and speech.
Every single one of those "fact checker" sites is a known left leaning and supported entity with plenty of examples of mistruth.
It's ironic how both the left and right are at least pretending to want to reign in big tech, but for the exact opposite reasons...
"Protestors" - right here you expose just how little credibility you have be neglecting literal violent riots, billions in property damage and theft, hundreds of assaults and dozens of murders and deaths that have come from this.
Seriously man, try as you may, you cannot Correct The Record of things people have seen and heard with their own eyes and ears for months
Snopes routinely picks up on unsavory truths regarding the left and then proceed on a campaign of disinformation warfare by distorting the truths into their own fabricated strawman that can be "debunked" while simultaneously spending a princely sum on SEO to insure searches for said unsavory truths are redirected to their fever dream. It's a DNC digital mercenary site and routinely muddies the waters at best.
Do a little reading up on the guy who started that site. While I generally prefer to criticize arguments instead of their presenters, the fact that this guy is an actual lying fraud says everything about his credibility - and also the leftist/progressive tribal cult that relish in his church
The entire basis of this paper is politically motivated and aimed at deplatforming any sites which don't abide by radical leftist progressive propaganda. Any discussion which considers Snopes a valid "fact checking" enterprise immediately loses all credibility.
Very unfortunate as the premise that Google promotes or blocks content to suit their agenda is undoubtedly accurate
Saying this is asserting the "by any means necessary" doctrine whereby manipulation and misrepresentation are the first spots on the decent into outright propaganda and tyranny.
Why not disconnect your internet abs unplug from everything yourself if genuinely so concerned? At least prove your principled instead of just power hungry for control
These articles with no supporting evidence of any kind claiming to "debunk" anything is just attention grabbing drivel for the intellectually disinclined. Why the barrage posting to HN? Politics has no place here, especially the sleazy kind. Flagged
Kind of telling the article makes no mention of what degree this shifts "greenhouse gas" generation from cows to people. Quite ironc considering they are suggesting beans to be used.
So increasing taxes to pay politicians and their cronies who have been making those very decisions is the solution?
Wait, wait even better - making everything more expensive for everyone is going to somehow disproportionately benefit those who have less over those who have more? I've little doubt the absurdity of taxing ourselves to prosperity certainly sounds perfectly reasonable to people who stand to benefit from it, along with their parasitic electorate.
This is why climate change quackery keeps falling short - it's statist propaganda brought to you for the same people who created all current imbalance by the people aspiring to be their next crony beneficiaries
