Switched to librewolf the other day, and it's great

Lol Brave... Ok

Have you tried "un-googled chromium"? Should work pretty much the same as regular chromium in that regard...

Or even just a good old fashioned user agent switcher?

Yeah, the US government is so well known for "preaching cooperation". What a fucking joke.

There was not a shingles vaccine back when "chicken pox parties" were a thing

that's very leftist of you to promote carceral punishments

You don't know what "leftist" means.

Right... but is that still "nullification"? They would not be "nullifying" a law they disagree with in this scenario, rather just going rogue and deciding to punish someone that they know is innocent. My understanding of nullification is that they're attempting to render an existing law null (at least in a specific circumstance), which is not the same thing as just straight up breaking the court system by ignoring all evidentiary standards.

Can't wait to see conservative morons saying "hurr durr 3% isn't even that high of a percent"

Was still pretty dumb, because now they have shingles for the rest of their lives. Just laying in wait for the right moment to strike lol

It’ll continue to spread, as well. Last Friday, someone with contagious measles spent hours touring 2 Texas campuses, hours in college bars and restaurants, and hours in crowded tourist attractions.

If accurate, this person belongs in fucking prison

We are careening toward the "end-game" for the rampant anti-intellectualism, anti-science, anti-critical thinking mind virus that plagued this country for at least the past 80 years.

This is what happens when you condition people for nearly a century, to get angry and defensive when someone who's more versed on a subject tries to teach them something (or god forbid, correct them). It has become a kneejerk reaction for so many Americans (mostly conservatives). They are so insecure that they view any type of education as a direct insult to them or some stupid bullshit like that. Like deep down, they know how ignorant they are, but for some reason they'd prefer to stay that way, so anyone who challenges that (regardless of how pure the motive), is a "smug piece of shit talking down to them."

And instead of even retaining what the person said, let alone learning it, they become even more radicalized against... well, reality.

I truly have no idea how something like this can ever be fixed at this level. We're talking over 50 million people give or take tens of millions (unsure how many have regrets).

And this is nation-ending shit.

Edit: Slightly related, but something I just thought about... Imagine if we ever have a prion-based pandemic (if that's possible?). That could straight up be the end of humankind. Prions are terrifying.

Yeah, that too... Everything is political if you want to really get into it. People just want to be able to ignore it until it directly affects them.
