Countries have different immigration streams, and skilled people that have matching language skills are put way in front of refugees in every country. Countries like Australia and New Zealand will be jumping at the chance to get scientists and health care professionals from the US. They’re already picking off everyone they can find in the UK.

They have 6 justices that are happy to interpret the constitution in any way Republicans like already.

He’s planning to fire a ton of government employees unless they bend the knee, and if he starts messing with universities a bunch of scientists would be pressured to say the ‘right’ things as well. If that happens, those people would leave. Plus, in those other countries, health care isn’t tied to your employment.

There’s no guarantee all 4 of those states would be red tho.

The ones leaving are the best educated ones. It’s basically a brain drain, similar to what happens to a lot of developing countries. Once the process starts, it’s hard to reverse because it’s a self reinforcing cycle.

From doing dishes and stuff like that.

But they got the Cheneys!

Anyone still posting there is probably not going to leave. Either way, it’s not like this block was hard to circumvent, you could just log out or use a different browser to see the posts by someone that blocked you, so this doesn’t really change a lot.

Maybe it’s got the effect to externalise any of the sources of whatever is wrong in your life. Fox gives you easy answers for all your problems, and it’s always some ‘other’. You don’t have to change or work on yourself to improve things, you just have to vote for the guys that will deport/jail the ones holding you back.

Yeah, make the logo a button or something.

Microsoft makes a lot of money hosting the platform that enables the efficient leveling of Gaza. They’re the new IBM in many ways.

Can’t wait to hear Bari Weiss’ take on this.

There’s probably already a bunch of forks people could move to, if needed, people could coalesce around one. That should be a drop-in replacement that the hosting provider could even do for you.

About time.

The DMCA was never about protecting the little guy.

Yeah, moving to the EU to escape regulation doesn’t seem like a smart move.

I mean, it’s probably some sort of autoimmune thing, where the infection causes the immune system to go haywire and attacks your own body.

Yeah, would be hard to prove unless people started routinely testing themselves for a broad array of viruses every time they fall ill.

But hopefully with the influx of long COVID patients more research will be done, and people with CFS, fibromyalgia and similar diseases will at least be believed, because all of those are typically dismissed because you can’t really see it.

Seems like it generally just gets triggered by a viral infection, but obviously it’s hard to find conclusive evidence for that as people get viral infections all the time and usually recover fine. In a way COVID was a useful ‘experiment’ where we got a lot of cases of people getting long COVID right after a confirmed infection (because everyone was getting tested, which you typically wouldn’t do for your average viral infection).

And it’s not like deleting will fix it now, it’s been copied millions of times now.
