19. Well I am not in the US
Fri Apr 3, 2026, 05:16 AM

And with all the craziness these days wrt the present admin (like Voldemort I am not naming the worst at the moment thanks to the increasing shittiness of the web), sometimes you wonder if the US is behind the nouveau Iron Curtain and whether Dave has to allow some crackpots in mandatorily. The whole thing is like a damn social experiment. That would be rather bleak.

I myself default to brute force “No” and refusal to comply with drivel mostly as it encourages human jerks to force one to change one’s behaviors to adjust to their rot.

Otoh minimal temporary forebearance may be unavoidable some thanks to just how much they have gummed up the works.

Goddamn idiots causing polycrises after poly crises with their wet markets, wetware markets etc. My position was and remains that vaccines are inadequate, wet markets/factory farms should be banned. They are cruel and a health hazard. And that extends to these technologies.
