it’s funny, conditional on AGI (and perhaps also WBE?) not doing us in, i’m pretty bullish on this century. bio seems much less of a problem, and everything else is basically a-okay, especially with people becoming richer and needing to fight less. most other collapse narratives sound pretty unlikely (though prepping is sitll a good idea! you should have three months of food & water at home)
@prologic@prologic The immediate context was deconstructed movie characters, but I find I’m also tiring of deconstructed foods, deconstructed philosophy, deconstructed art, etc.

I use NNCP for everything from send/receiving emails, to Telegram/Matrix piping, and Youtube video queuing. So my plan was to upgrade but then one of my cats threw a temper tantrum over food, so I had to deal with that, then I upgraded everything. Finally 😅

No worries, I understood you perfectly. My reply was merely a commentary, because some here—specially the youth, and I have a 20 years old son—think that the vaccine makes the 100% impervious, and thus behave pretty stupidly.
I am the one in charge of bringing food, and helping the elderly in the family, so I take super extra precautions… for their sake.
An estimated 6.8 million fewer female births will be recorded across India by 2030 because of the persistent use of selective abortions, researchers estimate. — The Guardian
And from the same article:
India’s skewed ratio of men to women – currently between 900-930 females per 1,000 males – reflects India’s ingrained attitude towards girls. Boys are seen as breadwinners while girls are seen as a burden across every social class. Boys are more likely to receive more nutritious food and better medical care than girls.
That is just beyond sad.

Care less about organic food
@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net I think the idea is to minimise the spread from one customer to all customers, but also from a sick driver to you if the driver wears / changes gloves regularly and doesn’t handle the food too intimately.
