I do not mean this socially, only politically, because the supposed alternative is changed election populus by excess mortality as we saw in 2020.
2120, I’m not so sure, but I’m also no epidemiologist. The plague had a 7-10 year re-emergence cycle, there are many potential latent viruses and existing viruses have high mutation potential.
Once those develop as superspreader events, they will drop this very quickly or face isolation of church-goers.
Most retail workers wouldn’t even go that far if they got paid well with expenses.
So I had a similar situation on the customer side. I was looking for a canned vegan tuna salad, but after looking at several different stores of the chain carrying them, I asked a retail worker if they know whether they’re coming back; he didn’t know and without me asking got the store manager who told me no. I thanked both of them and continued my normal grocery buying. At home I researched the product, found the actual producer, found out they produced on demand of large chain stores and figured they’re probably no longer in an agreement with the chain store and I didn’t see myself as the person calling for hours just to get a very likely, but slightly more detailed no.
I don’t see how people can’t understand how retail economics work. Retail either has it and it will come back sooner or later or they don’t and at no point is the individual retail worker responsible for that.
Protest is a-ok as long as the protest’s convenient and far away.
I didn’t mean surroundings in a ‘Screens are bad’-way and more in a ‘Sometimes focussing too hard on a screen while not moving yourself can produce motion sickness’-way.
Visual stressors can be mobs, lag (Imagining movement that has not been displayed yet can be nauseating), unfamiliar controls and point of view.
This is not a very grounded list and it is probably not like motion sickness in its intesity is forever.
Be aware of your surroundings, ie there’s more than the screen around you. Reduce: Mouse sensitivity, animations, (visual) stressors.
If understood it correctly, there is some loop in a newer version that prevents correct federation. feddit.de was used in the example.
