It would help to at least try doing that, but in practice this would probably be very difficult - it’s likely not possible to always drink boiled water and well-cooked food, and given the possibility of contaminating food and drink after boiling, you might effectively have to prepare all your drink and food yourself, which is logistically difficult given the length of the work days. Diseases also spread in other ways, like smear infections (e.g. on toilets, doorhandles, tools) and airborne infections.

I can see why male doctors would be ignorant, but wtf is the excuse of female doctors here?

Last time I enjoyed myself doing exercise, I probably played table tennis with a tennis ball and hands as paddles. The hard part is finding people who have time when you do, and who are on a similar skill+fitness level as you (picking silly games like the one I described helps).

So yeah, I’m not getting much exercise, either.

NEVER let anyone touch the stalk

Hmmmmmmm …

While it’s true that races aren’t defined by borders (if we even want to entertain the notion of races actually existing), the wrong meaning might absolutely be the intended one.

Europe is not a monolith, though - Putin’s Russia will happily watch the planet go up in flames. So it’s clearly “both”.

I don’t think that can accurately be described as “racism” though, if even the “racists” won’t say that the ethnicity they’re hating is a different race. More general terms like ‘chauvinism’ would fit better.

Depends on context. In the context of an informal conversation about a specific kind of law it’s fine IMO. It’s also fine if it’s obviously not that serious, like e.g. different styles of toilets that are both found in the ‘developed world’. When you’re talking about a topic where generally richer countries do it one way and poorer countries do it another way, that’s where calling the poorer countries ‘uncivilized’ starts sounding racist (or maybe just classist, considering countries like Belarus which are poor, authoritarian and underdeveloped but not inhabited by any brown people).

Lands in Germany, no reception.

Shen has a new artstyle? Is that his new avatar or is that a separate character?

Hell yeah! The Ubuntu mono is really easy to read, and there aren’t that many sans-serif fonts that differentiate l and I well.

T.T we are

They could have blocked the sub instead of commenting every day and harassing the separate QC-sub that actually liked the comic. In contrast to Lemmy, on Reddit it’s actually really easy to block comics you don’t like, because they were usually posted to their own subs (and possibly even by a separate user, sometimes even the creator themselves like the Extra Fabulous guy) instead of a general sub/community like c/comicstrips.

That’s a valid opinion. Really doesn’t explain the hate-readers, though.

At the start it was pretty hetero and white, IIRC. Dora might always have been bisexual, but it’s easier to ignore if it’s an informed trait rather than something that’s actually visible. But I think the big giveaway that it was never going to go where rightwingers would want it is the way the main character interacted with these people.

There would definitely be a lot of stuff that would need to be doubled, e.g. I would definitely get into trouble with laundry if I tried to clothe two people with my one person wardrobe, and if my clone is an independent being they’ll still want a PC and phone (it would be really complicated to set up some kind of timeshare system, especially if they’re working a separate job - you could have one clone work in the morning and one in the evening, but not everyone is cut out for working late). Bunking would probably work, but that’s going to get real weird if you’re living in a flatshare or with a partner. And oh, sharing a partner would be a huge problem if we’re assuming the clone is an independent being, even if they’re actually a good sport about it in general.

Same angst, but lots more hopes and dreams. That would definitely be a depressing read.

If you can moderate, it isn’t really an addiction. At least, not by the strict definition. If you use it more colloquially, sure.

I think that doesn’t really work for physical addictions. Even if you can easily stop using because your mind just works that way, if you used an addictive substance for long enough you’ll get withdrawal symptoms.

It became too “woke” compared to its early days (IDK why people who complain about that kind of thing ever read it, it never catered to rightwingers).

That’s definitely part of it, but I think the main issue is that a lot of the new tech in the last 20 years was used to further the far right (e.g. Facebook, Google) and erode civil rights in general (e.g. privacy, right to repair), on top of constant enshittification and ever-shrinking longevity of devices.
