No its never going to disappear. If you are referring to people using slack and chat apps, those are locked in walled gardens where your messages cant ever leave.

Email can be moved anywhere easily.

And the terrorism, remember how terrorism was being used to scare everyone for more than a decade?

No I dont think Im superior to anyone. You said you felt superior, so I just figured I would tell you that its just not true.

Its kind of hard to feel superior as someone who doesnt vaccinate isnt it? What is there to be superior about in that case? Naah its not that at all. I just dont want to risk the side effects.

I guess I will let you know if I need customer service. :)

I have the oneplus 13, it truly is a two day phone battery wise. I actually forgot to charge it over night once and I didnt even notice it until it was at 20% battery the evening after and I got an alert about it.

I really want to like tiling window managers but I can never get into them. All my windows are full screen except the terminals.

I guess if I had some ultra wide 48 inch monster, it would be useful.

Depends on your setup. If you use a 4k screen with fractional scaling in Gnome, Pycharm and all Jetbrain editors have blurry text and run under xwayland.

But vs code works fine, also zed and many others.

I would check out Pop OS instead of mint. But you can easily boot both of them from usb stick and look around and get a feeling before you choose.

Good luck. I enjoyed the conversation.

I dont have the feeling of being personally attacked. Is it possible that you are reading things into this thread that isnt actually there? Because im enjoying the discussions. And I dont think your opinion is strange, but I also dont think my opinion is strange. Its fine to disagree and be ok with it.

As for the juice not being worth the squeeze, I told you two times already but I guess you dont believe me. I just think I should be honest with my opinions even when there is no gain to be had, only downvotes. Its important for my self respect to not lie for popularity.

I think Java is worse, I still have nightmares from those Java interface names… Jesus.

Im not arguing for anyone to do what I do. Its extreamly obvious that my decision is worse for the group if the group thinks everyone should vaccinate no matter at what cost to their personal safety.

I dont care if someone does what I do, or if they do something else. :)

And why do you think you need to clear things up? Nothing you said is even remotely difficult to understand. Its like trying to clear up what today’s weather is going to be. This is not about one of us not understanding things. Its just about personal choices for reasons we both have.

Always bring a cat to the thread. :)

I dont have to do anything :)

Human being. Just being. Reading is a great way to do that.

Your statistical best chance of achieving your stated aim is to just lie or stay mum.

I know, but like I said, its more important to me to be truthful and honest. I guess I have some kind of feeling of it being important, specially if im going to respect myself. I dont want to be someone that lies for benefits or public appearence.

You are wrong about what I want also. I dont need endorsement that what im doing is ok. I already think its ok and public opinion doesnt change that at all. I have my own strong opinion about this topic as you can clearly see. If others dont agree, thats fine. I was just starting to comment because someone talked about antivaxxers and assuming all kinds of nonsense reasons why we dont do it, like we dont like needles and shit like that. I wanted to say its about something much deeper - not wanting to risk getting vaccine side effects. And thats it.

And yeah, the apartment story was just to highlight how almost nobody thinks of the public good in day to day scenarios. But when it comes to vaccines, we should risk getting side effects and have no problems with it? Im just not on that vibe I guess.

Im not a middle aged woman man, that made me laugh out loud. :) Also im an academic, but not in healthcare.

I just wrote that to see that kind of person you think you are talking to here, and its just some lady that annoyed you in your past, so you react this way now to everyone who doesnt vaccinate. It makes sense.

Anyway, you are obviously so emotional about this that you cant really have a conversation about it, so lets part ways here and do something productive. I should actually pack for a trip to amsterdam tomorrow.

I dont see consequences from the virus as a side effect. I only use the word side effect as something that comes from the vaccine, not the virus.

The rest of your comment seems to say that we should never do anything positive if it has any negative effects. Obviously you are trying to make a point but I dont think it makes sense. If i get tired from exercise, obviously its still worth doing. It has no long term negative effects or any significant risks.

The side effects of vaccines are quite dangerous. Its not like getting tired after exercise. We are talking life altering side effects that may mean you cant even function normally. But you know this already so im not sure why you pretend (i assume) to not understand. The logic here is very simple.

You can call me selfish all you want, but your examples of why people should vaccinate despite their side effects are a bit funny. They dont even make sense. :)

If you would meet me, you would probably be quite surprised. :) And you would quickly realize Im not evil or stupid. But here online, I understand its easy to think so. But you couldnt even guess my age or occupation. I know its easy to think that im some random guy living in his moms basement since I think differently about this topic. But you would quickly realize its not quite like that. :)

I just dont want to bet my life on not having side effects.

Yeah I have to admit i like seeing my arms get bigger and body feeling stronger. Not getting tired by carrying bags, and clothes looking nicer. Its a lot of benefits. And the gym is kind of a chill place. People are relaxed and just lift some weights. I think its quite good for mental health also.
