Well so there's the question: how much more effective is good ventilation than masking? I was under the impression that it's, like, a lot. Orders of magnitude. Like if good ventilation was equivalent to seatbelts in cars, then masking would be wearing a helmet while driving.

But perhaps someone who is better at reading scientific results could find the study and come up with a better analogy for us laymen, in case my understanding is way off base. If it's actually that masking is more like airbags, then I think people would be a lot more amenable to doing both.

Is a "No soliciting" sign on my house also terrorism then? Wtf

Politicians occasionally like to throw money at things (PPP loans and forgiveness), so maybe we could convince them to throw it this way.

Hence inspections. Like we have health inspections for restaurants, we could have HVAC inspections.

I saw a study a while back that claimed that good filtration and ventilation systems in indoor public places were more effective than masking. If that's the case, what I'd like to see is subsidies for businesses and public buildings to get.new systems installed, as well as new minimum air quality standards for public spaces with inspections for enforcement.

"But TVs are cheap now right"

"Yeah, but--"

"And every household needs, like, at least four TVs right? And people probably buy roughly 3 new TVs a year, right?"

"But what about food and housing and--"

"Bro they are saving so much on TVs it makes up for it! Call it 2% for the year, done"

Linguistics is so cool. I only took a 101 class in college but it is really such a neat field.

I tried my hand at trading options once (don't do it kids) and ended up needing to mail 100 pages to the IRS (snail mail, like in an envelope)

Ao-chan Can't Study. Weirdly really good OP for a short comedy ecchi anime.

The right wing is afraid of a totalitarian dystopia? Uhhhh what? Republicans have become more and more authoritarian, but the line being drawn is...letting people walk to places instead of drive?

Baffling.

Not if deletes don't propagate well.

Not a guarantee, but a reasonable effort would be good.

Consider doxxing. It would be better if instances propagated delete requests to the fullest extent possible so that that information would be as hard as possible to find.

Does anyone have a clue 😢
