@larsmb stayed without 'rona by upgrading to a full-face mask with N100/KN100/P3R-D filter attached to it.

@kkarhan That is awesome! I'm considering to go elastomere half-mask, but have had good luck with the FFP3 3M and admit that going beyond that in public feels weird.
But then, if I'm an aging goth in a dystopia, might as well embrace the dystopia goth look ...

@larsmb personally, I don't give a f**k about looks.

I "prefer to look weird than die from a preventable cause" and see this just as selfevidential as should be the use of condoms, or the use of sanitization, gloves and proper hygiene protocol in medical facilities.

Cuz noone will pay me for the avoidable permanent unemployability if not permanent disability that #LongCovid would likely cause.

@kkarhan 💯
If only it was so self-evident. The pandemic has driven home insights into humans as a collective that I now can't stop seeing in so many areas ...

@larsmb it doesn't surprise me that the masses are irrationally bigotted #wankers, but what really shocked me was the fact that these people were listened to and that existing protocols and regulations made specifically for this scenario were tossed out the window.

Governments "let it rip" because it ain't imminently lethal enough like Ebola...

And that'll make it worse in the future as the unwillingness to curb upon it makes it impossible in the future...

@kkarhan Same for climate collapse, smoking, leaded fuel, lead paint, sugar, guns, speed limits, ... (Some of these may be regional and a few have been overcome or at least mitigated since.)
But then, some people still act as if STIs were not a thing too.

Over all, 3 out of 10, would not recommend human rationality as a blueprint for AI

@larsmb kinda depends...

Someshit is just evil: [leaded paint & fuel] and other stuff can be regulated by pricing [driving fast = having to pay for more fuel] and others are just #LackOfAccountability and #LackOfConsequences when the #state or rather #cops do it [guns].

Personally, I do think that the state and individual should be equal in arms as a deterrence against tyranny.

@kkarhan @larsmb if the only punishment is pricing, it's for rich people.
