I have no idea why you're downvoted, this is the truth

> If the middle-class people move out, this is "white flight" and is evil. Later on, if other middle-class people move in, this is "gentrification" and is also evil.

Yes this is in every city and state.

Prepare to be downvoted to oblivion. HN is a leftist echo chamber. If you question vaccines, climate change, systemic racism, or the trans ideology, your voice will not be heard.

I’m probably shadow banned already.

And modernity sometimes ignores some obvious considerations.

I am surprised that a long article attempting to find links between various manifestations of modernity to allergy, it fails to mention vaccine.

The diet, exposure to pollutants, sun, level of cleanliness etc certainly has evolved over time. But none of these have changed as dramatically, become prevalent and directly alters our immune system like vaccine does.

I don't know of any study that's been able to explain how vaccines may increase the risk of allergy. However, if we are to speculate about possible causes for allergy, it should be nearly at the top. And the omission of even a single mention is quite striking.

The fact that we cannot even talk about something so obvious should pause some of us to wonder, what is it that is causing this kind of blind spot in modernity. And that should also lead us to ask who is trying to hide this for what reason.

You said it better than I could have. Amazing how no one will consider how overstimulating the immune system might create autoimmune disorders.

Why are Americans like this? I don't think there's another first world country with citizens who have as dim a view of government.

Have you not noticed the complete disregard the United States has for its citizens?

The "serotonin model", actually called the monoamine hypothesis, hasn't really been taken seriously in the field for decades, except by naysayers like yourself who continue to use it as a strawman.

Don’t people still talk about “low seratonin levels?” I always found it suspect that we say someone’s levels are low without actually measuring them.

I discovered that Midjourney can’t generate a question mark, and if you use the /describe command and give it a picture of a question mark, it hallucinates.

Yep. Australian here. We successfully brought our case numbers down a number of times through expensive, city wide lockdowns. Each time we succeeded and then opened back up, the virus unfortunately found a new route in the country and case numbers went up again.

If the whole world had adopted this strategy, covid would have been eliminated from the planet entirely.

Lots of lives were still saved by our strategy because almost everyone had a chance to get vaccinated before getting covid.

Even with the benefit of hindsight, its still controversial whether the lockdowns were worth it overall. But they were definitely effective at containing covid.

Australia became a full on prison colony. They didn’t contain covid, they imprisoned their entire population.

Agree - someone that's dead has no freedom at all.
dontknowwhyihn · 3 years ago
And someone who is free can choose to be as cautious as they please. They just can’t force their choices on everyone else.

> It's one of the more blatant examples of how the laws of the United States are written to unjustly empower those with wealth that I am aware of.

The most blatant thing for me will always be the tax code.

Alone way that W2 income vs long term capital gains is taxed (not to mention that losses are fully tax deductible) makes the message very clear.

Losses are not fully tax deductible.

This looks like it’s purely about gaming signup metrics for Threads. Make it easy to try, create a huge disincentive to cancel, and suddenly you have a wildly successful, “sticky” app.
