Speaking of which, I was in a discussion about that yesterday:

I specifically avoid .ml and .world because the collective behavior (i.e., hostility, downvote trolling, etc.) is so much like Reddit.

Beehaw, Hexbear and Blahaj have all disabled downvotes, but Blahaj is the only one that's decent, which is why I'm here.

(I would link directly to these if I could, but am having issues with that.)

For what it's worth, Discuit is also a generally friendly place.

Oh, it's no big deal; what you said is true in terms of eggs being used to make vaccines.

But avian flu outbreaks require them to cull (kill) large numbers of egg-producing chickens, so it's basically a supply-and-demand issue -- hence the price spikes.

Are you familiar with Retro Systems Revival?

Several doctors and US residents have taken to social media in recent days, simultaneously condemning the killing while reciting incidents in which they felt insurers had unfairly denied treatment claims.

They're gonna try like hell to make us forget that last part.

For the current Supreme Court, this is probably business as usual.

it feels like everything is designed to funnel money into antidepressant distributors these days

They're getting their return on investment after buying "our" politicians here in the States.

The resolution, which would prohibit members, officers and employees of the House from using single-sex facilities that correspond to their gender identity, comes just a week after Rep.-elect Sarah McBride (D-Del.) made history as the first openly transgender person elected to Congress.

If this bill passes, McBride should start relieving herself on Mace's desk.

It's exactly what they've done, and it can work both ways.
