i refuse to believe in simulation theory because it would mean that god was probably a guy who looked like that and i was a background character in his vr porn machine

here in france, the vast majority of people don't give 2 fucks about covid.

well, not to that point. lots of people are tired of restrictions (so do I) but it seems to me that quite a lot still take care (so do I).

yet, it is still too much people not giving a fuck, I agree.

Wearing a mask is also a gesture of solidarity. So many people seem to not get that.

yeah this. I agree.  could be frustrating for people having to wear a mask to see people wich don't. it's not helping.

(actually here, we  all still have to wear it, being vaxxed is not a reason not to wear a mask actually, am I wrong ? coz seems like vaxxed could still spread some virus around, in some cases, i.i.r.c.)

that said, I admit we get rid of the mask with some very very close friends when we gather each other in particular context (still rarely), thinking "as we've been taking extreme care outside of our own circle, we have confiance in each other not being infected so we think it's safe loosing out a bit about that" yet we keep distancing and not sharing stuff like dishes, glasses, etc.

this + regular testings , but I admit it's not a 100% valid safe behaviour. we try do do our best about this, I would say.

that's not what my eyes have seen, and i've been moving quite a bit in the past few months. the figures look encouraging though and that's all that matters.

I should also mention, tho, the majority of people I see don't seem to understand how masks actually work. Lots of people seem to just be going thru the motions at this point with no actual thought given to it. E.g. they have the mask pulled down under their nose, or the mask is very loose fitting, or there's a tiny mask perched atop an enormous beard (lol?), or they're pulling the mask down to talk (wtf!), on and on it goes. It's rare to see anyone with a mask that actually fits their face the way it should or is made of appropriate materials.  So at the end of the day, really what is the fucking point? Wear it properly or you might as well not be wearing it at all. 

yeah most people wear their mask below their nose. most people are idiots.

Britain is rapidly transitioning into an authoritarian police state. I always feared the tories would pull this at some point, and here we are. This madness must not be tolerated. Ignore the spy cop trolls who tell you otherwise, they are only interested in gaining money and power.

Would you care to elaborate on that, what are they doing? This is a serious question, I would like to understand what you're talking about - I know Tories are British conservatives, but I'm not following the UK that closely.

There is a security camera on my street (which ONLY has houses on it). Various bills are being pushed through to restrict protests too.

security camera on your street will be all your local council and nothing to do with central government. labour are traditionally much more "big government" and nanny state proponents, and implemented much of what now comprises the surveillance status quo - remember the ID cards thing they wanted to bring in too?

so this is certainly not a tory-specific issue, but I feel any administration would be now enacting stricter surveillance, curbs on freedoms we used to take for granted and campaigns of fear. this is the new world we are living in, this is the great reset that all mainstream political movements have signed up to. doesn't matter who you vote for, left, right, centre - it's ALL a total fucking sham.

I know that UK has the largest number of CCTV cameras anywhere, and I just read today about EU citizens getting locked up and expelled. I have a couple of Finnish friends living in London, and they've been harassed because they're not British. The Brexit fallout's been weird, and COVID-19 on top of that, it's probably quite a mess over there.

The UK has always had its head so far up its arse. I genuinely hate British "people" so much.

The claims from the "Disinformation Dozen" range from "denying that COVID exists, claiming that false cures are in fact the way to solve COVID and not vaccination, decrying vaccines and decrying doctors as being in some way venal or motivated by other factors when they recommend vaccines," Ahmed said.

Many of the 12, he said, have been spreading scientifically disproven medical claims and conspiracies for years.

Which provokes the question: Why have social media platforms only recently begun cracking down on their falsehoods?

Both members of Congress and state attorneys general have urged Facebook and Twitter to ban the "Disinformation Dozen."

"Getting Americans vaccinated is critical to putting this pandemic behind us. Vaccine disinformation spread online has deadly consequences, which is why I have called on social media platforms to take action against the accounts propagating the majority of these lies," Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., told NPR.
