Add a clause that says an equivalent federal tax would nullify this tax. And then use this until the national one passes. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good enough for now

Sorry. Also, apparently she got the covid vaccine. She just uses a lot of "I have a lot of questions about the vaccine industry" type rhetoric that makes her popular among anti-vax circles. She's not a strict anti-vaxxer, just kinda weird about the whole situation and generally doesn't get vaccines most of the time.

I also think that it's a very tricky situation. Because a lot of people are morons. If you talk about negative side effects, people will be like "Oh no, I'm not taking a 1 in 100,000,000,000,000 risk. I'd rather get measles!" but if you don't talk enough about negative side effects, there's some sort of conspiracy cover up.

I don't think she's lying about the severity of her side effects, but the article has a slight air of "doctors are LYING about side effects, if this happened to me, this must be happening SUPER OFTEN to A LOT OF PEOPLE" which i don't think is the right message to be putting out either. Some of that might be because of bias around her other stances.

But it is still an anecdote, from Fox News. I feel like theres probably a better source, even for the same story.

An anecdote from an antivaxxer on Fox News isn't exactly "science" is it?

I find pedants are often wrong or completely missing the point.

Sometimes it triggers a fun discussion. and sometimes it's just tedious.

(ghoti could never be pronounced like "fish" because "gh" only sounds like an F near the end of a word after au or ou, but ghoti is at least an interesting way to bring up the topic of weird inconsistencies of the english language, even if it's wrong)

I think OP chose a random picture of servers to represent "linux" despite netflix[0] not having anything to do with this. And then cited the first item in the Debian social contract[1]. And then just wildly speculated that because other distros don't have a social contract, that they might someday start charging money (they won't they would just as soon stop existing than charge money, but ok).

So in summary... "Computer pictures" + "Debian good" + "Arch not good" in a wild mishmash of nonsense.

Also, to the OP: using a picture clearly labeled as Netflix just to start a conversation about the debian social contract is highly confusing and misleading. No one here has any idea wtf you are talking about.

0: Netflix has published plenty of stuff about how they exclusively use FreeBSD for their CDN https://freebsdfoundation.org/end-user-stories/netflix-case-study/

1: https://www.debian.org/social_contract

https://freebsdfoundation.org/end-user-stories/netflix-case-study/ Netflix. The one that famously uses FreeBSD for their stuff?

You dont want your ISP to know you are downloading linux ISOs though. We should use some sort of code name for it. Like "copyrighted movies"

Don't know what day this was posted, but that's the beauty of evergreen material

Brits when you use the word that was invented by Brits for it.

 

A British person making a video about a Czech stadium, and not just using metric?! Not an American in sight, and yet...

 

Maybe this is just a me problem, and I can't find the settings. Or maybe these are things they changed in 115 and made it worse?

Collapsing threads. If I collapse everything thread, click to a different folder and then click back, every thread is expanded. I would vastly prefer "every thread is collapsed", or "we remember where things were". I never even noticed what it was on 102, but it wasn't "always expand everything"

Tab bar positioning. In 102 (and I could swear in some 115 screenshots Ive seen) the tab bar was at the very top. In 115, the tab bar is below the "Get Messages, Write, Address Book, etc" + search toolbar. The old way was so much better. It feels weird to have things ABOVE the tab bar change when i select a tab. thats the point of tabs, things are supposed to be contained "within" the tab.

Both of these are from their own documentation:

Old good:

New busted:

Are there settings for either of these changes, or is 115 just a downgrade for me and I should stick to 102?
