Literally the first thing you do on NoStupidQuestions is attack the person asking the question.
And then go on a rant that doesn’t actually address the question. I honestly don’t even know if you read the same OP that I did here…
Cmon, that’s not acceptable behavior here.
Because the lowest common denominator is much MUCH lower than you think it is.
This means it’s easy to indoctrinate and easy to maintain that for a massive number of people.
Scientific illiteracy is extremely high, and actual “6th grade reading comprehension” is the highest level of literacy for > 50% of a country like the U.S. and ~20% are low literacy or actually illiterate.
This means that half of everyone in the U.S. can read and understand what they read at or below a 6th grade level. This isn’t “reading big words”, it’s “tell us about what you read”, “what is the relationship between x & y” type questions.
This comment for example, up to this point only, would be difficult to understand & comprehend for > 50% of people in the U.S. (it demands an 11th grade reading comprehension). And may be misread, misunderstood, or not understood at all.
People are driven to religions to cults and alt conspiracy theories when they don’t understand how the world works around them. They latch onto extremely simple often misleading or incorrect ideas of how the world works because they can understand it and it “makes sense” within their sphere of ignorance (we all have one, this isn’t meant to be a disparaging term).
This means that the problem is that humans are just not smart enough to escape religion yet. It’s the simplest answer, and it appears to be correct.
I don’t think the concern over pinging 1.1.1.1 is warranted.
ICMP is pretty raw Network traffic, meaning you’re not really causing much actual load here.
You can’t even really try to DDOS with normal ICMP packets. You usually have have to max it’s size out at 64KB with an ICMP floor to even think of having an effect. Vs the, effectively inconsequential, 32 bytes of a normal ICMP packet.
You watching a short YouTube video is equivalent Network load as 180 days of pinging for Network up time.
They keep giving us more reasons to sail the high seas.
When you say a locally owned pharmacy, can you elaborate?
The ones I’m familiar with are just at big stores here.
Thank you so much for the knowledge! I’m going to take this and see what I can do. Thank you 🙏
Yeah, I thought it sounded unhinged. But I’m desperate, and don’t want to put myself at risk of a preventable death.
I’ve spent the greater part of my life as a shut in largely because I’m a sniffling, coughing, sneezing mess all day and night every day for 6-8 months of the year. And simply a sniffly mess for the rest.
I had one good summer last year and I can’t believe what I’m missing. Being able to do activities like hiking, or biking, going to the grocery store without being treated like I have the plague. Actually being able to go out to a restaurant or public places. Making friends, and actually being able to join them. Going to the movies…etc Not having to carry a whole-ass box a Kleenex with me everywhere I go.
It made me into a desperate man, realizing how much life I’m missing.
The comments here are fantastic, and incredibly helpful.
My allergist mentioned these, and noted that this is likely to be ineffective for me. Insurance also didn’t want to pay for it, though they shoveled out $4k for the serum for shots.
If I can’t get shots here though, I’ll try anything.
Naw, they’ll find some way to “incentivize” (punish you for not) viewing ads and enforce it with eye tracking.
Super glue seems appropriate 🤔

Coming soon to an airline near you.
Morning. One of my devices has been running unactivated W10 for something like 4+ years now.
Getting reddit default sub vibes now.
That’s… not now digestion works. 🤦
That’s a lot of mental hoops…
Imagine the massive inconvenience of separating your plastics so that your recycling facility can actually recycle more plastic waste instead of if ending up in a landfill 🤦
Or unification/interoperability even
$1000-$1500…?
Most people are on high deductible plans, so it’s more like $3000-$5000
Fascism is spreading there as well unfortunately.
And will continue to do so as long as corporations have and continue gaining power to rival your governments. Manipulating public opinion is easy when you own all sources of information dissemination.
