have something that helps me cope with the risks of covid

In category 3, you do not. You’ve just been lucky and asymptomatic.

can’t wait for mandatory methylene blue water

we’ll have the bluest water folks

What shutdown? Do you mean the mass infection events that were constantly happening in bars through 2020 and 2021 followed by the liberal capitulation and peeling off of the already rarely followed public health advice?

lol we call them apex predators

they call themselves bear noises

How robust are childhood measles immunizations after decades? If someone can’t get their doc to run titres for measles anitbodies, should they just get another dose of the vaccine?

I’m more inclined to think someone shortsightedly ran OCR on immigration documents and had their script send an email to every email address in the paperwork or it didn’t check to see if the name and email pair matched the subject of the documents before sending the email, but I’m sure they’d love to deport citizens and I’m terrified that’s up soon in the pipeline

In response to someone saying, essentially, “there is no safe way to run a red light”, you stated,

"there were the number of accidents went up due to the city putting up red light cameras because the culture at the time was to run reds for a bit after the light changed. When they put up the cameras, people would slam on their brakes and get rear ended. "

What I understand you mean by this is that there was a culture in which people ran red lights regularly. [Aside: this kind of behavior is known to be associated with elevated fatality rates in urban collisions, especially when they involve pedestrians and cyclists. Choosing to do this kind of behavior is as reprehensible as antimaskery/antivaxxery]. Then, when the relevant government entity began enforcing laws against running reds with automatic camera /radar systems, people began slamming on their brakes to avoid running a red light. This increased the number of rear-end type collisions.

Did I get anything wrong?

The reason I said,

This is far less likely to injure or kill than the kind of collision that occurs more often when people are trying to deliberately run a red light.

is because shifting the distribution of collisions away from red-light-running-involved collisions, which frequently involve higher speeds than rear-end type collisions, results in a reduction in all kinds of fatal crashes, and a significant reduction in non-fatal crashes. . It is empirically better to have a slight increase in rear end collisions if it cooccurs with a decrease in more severe collisions.

To be clear, I completely agree with you when you said,

“Obviously, all of this can be avoided with public transit,”

but I cannot support the clause that follows,

“these are the realities of driving.”

because red light running, drunk driving, speeding, excessive aggression, and other unsafe habits are personal decisions (sure, they’re incentivized and amplified by our shitty automobile-centric system) by which a driver chooses to make other people unsafe (with no care for their consent) to gain at best a marginal improvement in their own convenience.

completely misunderstanding what I am saying.

I don’t think this is the case

Agreed.

because the culture at the time was to run reds for a bit after the light changed

…

When they put up the cameras, people would slam on their brakes and get rear ended

This is far less likely to injure or kill than the kind of collision that occurs more often when people are trying to deliberately run a red light.

The name’s File. Death Master File.

I came here to say mushrooms as well but I think for me it’s as much a direct pharmacological effect on my depression and adhd as it is the accumulation of downstream effects on my mindfulness toolkit/coping skills. I say this because I can feel my perception change and the effort required to exert my attention climb around 9-12 months after my last trip and these changes evaporate nearly immediately post trip. Maybe I wouldn’t experience this if I went back on methylphenidate but the side effects got rough as I got old

there is some scientific backing to this approach, I’ve learned about later on. psychedelics can help bump you off mental patterns, and mindfulness can help you create new patterns intentionally. the key though is in the combo.
