Maybe it’s because you didn’t even bother to read them?

You claim natural infection gives you better immunity response, the article states “experts say, that’s on par with what’s provided through two doses of an mRNA vaccine.” and that “Still, experts stress that vaccination is the preferable route to immunity, given the risks of Covid”

Then you claimed “the CDC advisory board is showing concerns that too frequent “boosting” may actually be training your immune system to ignore the disease and could have adverse affects.” while the proof you posted says "Boost too soon, and you don’t ramp up protection in any meaningful way, in part because the body hasn’t had enough time to build up a proper immune memory of that first vaccination yet. “It’s not detrimental, it’s just not necessarily as effective as a later boost,”

A few months back when there was all the talk of facebook joining the fediverse I figured nothing good was going to come of it, and this doesn’t prove me wrong. Fb doesn’t do anything unless they see money in it somewhere.

How much would that help? If even one instance doesn’t defederate, fb is still going to scrape all the data they can through that instance, negating all the other instances that did defederate. (Unless I’m misunderstanding something)

As an example: I’m from .ca and lets say they defederate. I make a comment or post (or upvote/downvote) on another instance like .world that didn’t, am I not a “third party” and opening myself up to them collecting everything they can about me and my account?

They way it’s worded even upvoting/downvoting something would do it… you’re still interacting with it.

Rocketpoweredgorilla,
@Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca avatar

Oh I’m sure they do but depending on what they’re collecting it’s a legally grey area, while this is pretty much giving them permission to do it. And I for one have no intentions of making it any easier for them to make money off me.

Or invite them over to your house and shoot them through the front door when they knock too loudly.

And it’s bleeding into Canada.

More dog owners are questioning vaccines like rabies after COVID (www.pressherald.com)

More than half of U.S. dog owners expressed concerns about vaccinating their dogs, including against rabies, according to a new study published Saturday in the journal Vaccine. The study comes as anti-vaccine sentiments among humans have exploded in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic....

Rc cars. I got a crappy 1/6 scale truck (newbright) for shits and giggles to see what it could all do before I fried and broke it. Ended up slowly dumping a bunch of crap into it (Batteries, lights, new controller, esc, new brushless motor etc)

Wouldn’t have been quite so bad if it was a “normal” scale rc, but parts for something 1/6 scale is pretty pricey. I could have just bought a better machine, but it was still fun and I learned a bit about rc stuff. This is the frankenRC i.imgur.com/ey1jJYX.jpg

Not to be confused with the actor Christopher Lloyd… she was married to the producer by the same name. en.wikipedia.org/…/Christopher_Lloyd_(TV_producer…

Spiders?

Or more likely could it be when the occupants die, instead of someone new moving in they torch the place and start over?

Edit: nevermind, they suggested that further down in the article.

Russia says…

Why is it anytime I see those words together, I think the exact opposite of what it is trying to convey?

Rocketpoweredgorilla,
@Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca avatar

Oh for sure, I don’t doubt at all he’s dead, it’s just any information russia freely gives usually is for a specific reason only. IN this case it’s probably sending a message that if you pull shit against russia, windows in tall buildings may not be your only worry.

The way I see it is if a company has to spend a shit ton of money advertising, they’re probably not all that good to begin with.

If a product is legitimately good people will be beating down their door.

Same. I’ve been using proton for 6 or 7 years now.

“Mr. Trump posted a link to his website and a photo of his mug shot in his first new post on X since Twitter banned his account after the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021. “Never surrender!” the caption under the mug shot read.”

Captioning “Never surrender” Under a pic of him after surrendering to the authorities. LOL

That’s the same look my kids had when they were little and didn’t get their way.

“It has been estimated that during the 2010s its net worth increased by about $15 billion per year ($18.5 billion in 2022[144]),[143] and by $22 billion during the COVID-19 pandemic.[202] According to a 2020 estimates by The Wall Street Journal, the LDS Church’s investment fund had a net worth of around $100 billion.”

How nice of them to give a million dollars. That’s like the average person giving the loose change they found under a couch cushion.

At least I won’t have to move. (I’m in Canada.)

Small issue with the map though… a lot of northern Canada is muskeg (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muskeg) and rock (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Shield) so it’s not nearly as green and fertile as the map makes it out to be.

Can’t blame you, it is absolutely beautiful there. (And the weather is milder than where I am.)

Rocketpoweredgorilla,

Well, they actually hit what they were aiming for at least.

Rocketpoweredgorilla,

Honestly it seems a lot of these “conspiracy theories” are just bullshit stories spoon fed to stupid people to keep them chasing their own tails and distract from the real issues.

“I did my own research” in their language means " I googled for some sketchy websites until I found what I want to hear and believe."

We had those kind of people forever, it’s just now thanks to social media that they can feed of each other’s paranoia.

Hope you feel better soon. I’ve been lucky enough to never get it yet, but it’s probably just a matter of time. (Partially because I’m vaxxed and good at avoiding people.)

I’m pretty good at controlling my temper… does that count?

No magic bullet, it just takes years of practice and a jail sentence or two later before you realize some things are not worth getting cranky over.

It’s like they built the kitchen, then suddenly remembered after the fact that maybe a stove would be a nice idea.

Newest family member, found by herself on the side of a gravel road yesterday. (i.imgur.com)

My daughter found her alone on the side of a gravel road yesterday morning and brought her to my house. We think she’s about 6 weeks old. I had to edit the post title three times because she keeps stepping on the keyboard to attack and viciously lick my fingers.

Rocketpoweredgorilla,
@Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca avatar

After about a dozen tries I managed to get a half decent pic of her when she isn’t recharging so I figured I’d post it. Most of them end up blurry because if she isn’t asleep she’s going 45 mph.

Rocketpoweredgorilla,
@Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca avatar

She was pretty slow yesterday, but I guess the wet food we got her is doing wonders so far. She’s still wobbly and learning how to cat but it looks like she’ll be fine.

Our other cats are not terribly impressed but they’ll get used to her in time. ( I think they know they’re in for a lot of trouble once she figures out her balance.)

Rocketpoweredgorilla,
@Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca avatar

Thanks. We really didn’t want another cat but it seems fate decided we do.

Rocketpoweredgorilla,
@Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca avatar

We had a cat that passed away last year at the age of 22. I hope this little one makes it that long as well.

Rocketpoweredgorilla,
@Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca avatar

Soon I hope. We phoned around yesterday and all three vet clinics within 30 miles are booked solid this week but we left our info in case a spot opens up.

Otherwise it looks like next week thursday.

Rocketpoweredgorilla,
@Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca avatar

I think I probably have more blurry pics than good ones of these critters despite deleting most of them. It’s hard to get a good pic of a cat… especially black ones.

Rocketpoweredgorilla,
@Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca avatar

Not sure yet… we’re waiting to get an idea of her personality before we settle on anything.
