On another note, if you suffer from allergies, N95 masks work great for filtering out pollen and reducing symptoms. Never be afraid to use your tools.

Adwaita is definitely one of the best default themes out there, by far.

such a beautiful take. allies take note. 

This is the take. I don't do it to advertise. I do it so others can feel safe. Don't know why this is such a hard concept to understand.

Okay, so I've worked retail a good chunk of my life and I can tell you exactly why this whole thing concerning masks became a wedge issue.

Retailers large and small along with law enforcement have invested billions of dollars in the last 5 years to implement facial recognition and tracking into their security systems. They would love to make it illegal for your face to be obscured in public and this is eventually what they are gunning for. Law enforcement to "track criminals", but buisinesses also want to use this to track what their customers do in store—how they shop, what products they look at, how long they look at them, and their reactions.

Fox News and the Right-Wing spin machine is going nuts over masks not because of "freedom" but because they just dropped billions of dollars on what will be one of the largest consumer data collection systems to ever be implemented. Right as these systems were being turned on, COVID hit and their ability to sell your data so they could yield a return on your investment was temporarily blocked.

Millions of people died so a bunch of corporations could make record profits while the working-class is being asked to tighten their belts once again.

Follow the money.

Fuck Reddit. Moving over to a Lemmy instance!

It's almost like the major social media players are doing everything they can to get people to stop using their websites and switch to open source, federated solutions. So long and good riddance—those big social media websites will ruin your mental health and give you brainworms.

The bourgeoisie will use every tactic possible to distract genuine struggle from the real problem in society. We are a working class that sells our labour to a ruling class that doesn't care about anything other than profit. There's a reason the culture war is the primary hit piece for all news outlets. Fake drama makes money and keeps us from actually analyzing what were forced into

Now we just need Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Peter Thiel, and Mark Zuckerberg to join together in another sub built by Amazon using parts from their Amazon Basics (TM) collection to find and recover the submarine.

If you have a hard time understanding where the shortage of empathy for the sub crew comes from. here is a pretty good explainer.
