Why won’t people wear #N95s despite the evidence? That’s the #Semmelweis effect. Semmelweis was the Hungarian doctor who discovered that if you washed your hands between performing autopsies and delivering babies, infant mortality drops immensely. But this conflicted with popular opinion at the time, and doctors refused to consider that their (in)actions were the cause of deaths. Semmelweis was sent to an insane asylum where he was beaten by the guards and died. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignaz_Semmelweis

An interesting aspect of schooling in Canada is that there is no such thing as parental rights. There are children’s rights, eg a parent doesn’t have a right to see the child, rather the child has a right to see the parent, unless it is unsafe. Also, Canada is a signatory of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. The US isn’t. This convention gives a child the right to privacy. #CanPoli #cdnpoli https://www.unicef.org/child-rights-convention/convention-text-childrens-versionhttps://vm.tiktok.com/ZMjL98QCo/

Black Mastodon users are writing in frustration that people don’t believe that #racism exists on Mastodon. As a new moderator, I can assure you that racism is very real here. Be sure to report it when you find it so that we can stamp it out. And please don’t tell people their experience isn’t real just because you didn’t witness it. Thanks.

@PoLaRobs A realistic chart would be a logistic ("S") curve. The problem is insufficient manufacturing (and probably refining) to turn on a dime. Renewables are growing exponentially (>13%/yr) but they are starting from a small baseline. It's likely that we've reached peak fossil fuels already.

@cs I wish I understood why this, as a Canadian, pisses me off so much. Maybe because I looked up to the US when I was younger, believing the propaganda. The American people don't deserve this kind of mistreatment, but you are left uneducated about the world and afraid of anything that might be "communist" that helps each other. And to Americans, socialism is just another name for communism.

@BrodieOnLinux A tech writer once calculated (circa 1995) that billions in productivity was being lost due to Windows shenanigans.

@fcktheworld587 @jd And housing sales are still a big portion. I really think we are measuring economies wrong if a huge cost of living increase is a good thing.

Sunday COVID update. Day 2. Laura-Lee has congestion. I have a very light headache and sometimes a cough, but my tests are still showing negative. I have a HEPA filter going full blast, and we slept and ate in separate rooms. I also have a quality N95 mask, but she is just using a procedure mask.

@mike For me it's useful when I'm not up for human interaction. If the regular checkouts were co-staffed by golden retrievers I'd probably never use self checkout.

@IdahoLark To be fair, the door didn't walk away after it landed.
