This hurts:

>The next step will be Google or other companies in that space developing and deploying a new derogatory term for the web marking it as unclean, unruly, dangerous, bad (similar to “the Dark Web”) and making their abstraction the “safe” web.

Regarding: "WordPress is managed by the WordPress Foundation"

The Foundation doesn't actually manage anything though, does it? WordPress.org is managed and owned by Mullenweg personally.

Isn't it just that WP Engine made their own Stripe plugin for Woo? Why is this being called out as wrong?

This says they've prepared a solution. Does anyone know what the solution is? Did WP Engine build a whole fork of the plugin and theme repositories?

New comment by isabelc in "Equality is prevented by the misperception that it harms advantaged groups"

isabelc — Sun, 08 May 2022 17:35:52 +0000

Equality will always be prevented as long as we're allowed to exercise free will. A wise man said, "Differences in habits and attitudes are differences in human capital, ...and such differences create differences in economic outcomes."

Besides, the 2nd sentence of the Abstract shows they begin by labelling the perceptions of others as inaccurate. This corrupts the rest for me:

>Only when equality is increased within their ingroup, instead of between groups, do advantaged group members accurately perceive it as unharmful.

I second this. Foods affect your depression levels. Foods high in Omega 3 fight depression. Eat those foods regularly, you should notice the change in your mood.

No, according to Cleveland Clinic's study, vaccine adds no benefit to those with natural immunity.

New comment by isabelc in "New York's largest healthcare provider fires 1,400 unvaccinated workers"

isabelc — Tue, 05 Oct 2021 06:27:20 +0000

Just last month, a study finally began to investigate the effects of COVID vaccines on women's menstrual system [1]. Because women's official complaints had been ignored by the medical communities all year. Now they've been forced to finally examine it. To say that any vaccine side effects are "trivial" (as some have commented here) ignores women's concerns about the real possibility that something may be going wrong down there due to the vaccine. We'll know the results 1 year from now, when the study concludes. I wonder how many of the 1400 fired unvaccinated workers were women with good-faith concerns over their menstrual systems.
