How will you count future productivity lost through long covid? Look at the rise of disabled people in GB because of long covid. They are not productive nor do they consume despite some basic medical stuff. Preventing infections is an investment for the future.
Corona in Germany is now officially and finally over. Germany‘s top virologist Drosten said that the pandemic is over and starting in February the last mask mandates in public transportation will be lifted. It took us three full years and I think it’s safe to say that all countries, especially Germany, failed at crisis management miserably.

Why is it possible to add the same song multiple times to your favorite songs on Spotify?
No, it was the exact same song from the same album, but I guess, it must have been a bug, because I fail to replicate it atm. I wanted to upload a screenshot when I made this thread, but kc was a buggy piece of shit like always (showing that I was banned since 2020 for whatever and such), so yeah...
Almost every day lately I buy beer from the same store and it's usually the same cashier with the same forced conversation.
"how's it going?"
"good, you?"
"good"
Then he ask my date of birth because he has to enter it into the computer for alcohol sales.
Then after a long pause he says
"it still raining out there?" and I respond with
"yep" or "off and on" or maybe the occasional "yeah it's pouring" (it is pretty much always raining this time of year)
On a few occasions we struck up a genuine conversation about fishing or local geography but I appreciate the predictability of our interactions.
>AGAINST ALL ODDS, it looks like Gladiator 2 is actually going to happen. Not only is Gladiator director Ridley Scott currently attached to helm the long-awaited sequel, but it was also recently announced that Normal People and Aftersun breakout star Paul Mescal will play the film’s lead character.
Why… Gladiator was already perfect, nobody needs a sequel, which will most likely be shit.
I think, this guy is full of shit.
If I had the power to kill all smokers on the spot, I would do it. Sadly this would mean that millions of young and beautiful women would also be killed off, but that’s a necessary loss.

Why do latin americans subject themselves to caring about what other countries outside of latin america think of them, when in reality, their countries have all the natural resources required to be completely independent of the rest of the world, completely unlike many other places on earth that are entirely dependent on trading with foreigners? Latin america does not need the rest of the world, they have the most fertile soil on earth and are entirely self-sustained, while it is actually the rest of the world that needs their soil for agri business and so on.

If it really is true and that simple, then howcome the citizens of developing countries don't oppose politicians in a major way? What I'm being told here is something extremely simple, anyone could be informed of this and take it in, where's the revolt then?
It can't possibly be that easy, there must be other motives also. I'd also like to mention that people aren't really that predictable, there might even have been cases where this supposed siphoning of money has taken place, but afterwards some of these very people also did positive things, so it's not really that black and white, I'd say.
There's been communist dictatorships which were overthrown, but I think Clobenia is referring to the things that are happening right now instead of what happened in the past, or so I think, because that's what I was referring to. I might be wrong, but very recently there hasn't really been a case where the current government was overthrown for reasons relating to transparency, it seems like people just accept it and complain.

You're overestimating the people. They are retarded.
