- Comment on Italy’s top court rules against tourist refused tap water in Dolomites hotel 2 days ago:
It’s a high end resort with its own heli pad.
They will serve the cuisine and drinks they have on their undoubtedly carefully curated menu.
If they don’t like it, don’t go there, leave a nasty Yelp review or whatever, end of story.This has absolutely nothing to do with ‘access to sanitation’ as you imagine here or worse that woman’s dramatic claim of violating her human rights to water.
Making the equation with billions of people that are suffering and dying to this day from lack of warter is grotesk and offensive.
This pretentious Karen wasted the court’s time and resources twice for her shameful whims.
It improves absolutely nothing. - Comment on Italy’s top court rules against tourist refused tap water in Dolomites hotel 3 days ago:
Guess she’s not the only Karen.
You would probably cry about your human right to food being violated when a 3 star restaurant denies you entrance because you showed up in your filthy flip flops. - Comment on Italy’s top court rules against tourist refused tap water in Dolomites hotel 4 days ago:
I’m glad she lost.
More than a billion people lack safe drinking water and almost two and a half billion live without access to sanitation systems.
It’s about getting people out of poverty, making sure multinationals don’t steal or pollute drinking water for their benefit,etc…
That’s the reason why the UN and other organizations declared it a universal human right.
Or on an individual level a dangerously dehydrated person in some desert should not be refused water.
This woman’s situation having to buy a bottle is in no way comparable and frankly it’s insulting.
That place is a high end ski resort.
She shouldn’t be surprised when they don’t want to serve tap water.
It’s a snobby attitude, “vulgar tap water is something the plebs drink!”
The kind of place where they also charge extras for the smallest of services.
We don’t have to like it but it’s the place she chose to stay in.
In no way did she not have access to water. If she really wanted to drink tap water she could’ve filled a bottle in her undoubtedly fancy bathroom. But probably she didn’t want to look like the a cheapskate.
So no, her human rights have not been violated.
This is rich Karen drama queen behavior. - Comment on Wowee 5 days ago:
Well that’s not surprising.

- Comment on "Public deserves to know”: Harvard Professor says official messaging contradicts hantavirus science 2 weeks ago:
The NEJM article says a possible 8 weeks transmissibility (in some cases).
So even 42 days isn’t enough.
And many people couldn’t even follow their short Covid quarantine at home.
I don’t believe they can all handle 6 weeks, and certainly not in a safe way if they are made to believe it’s not easily transmitted.
Their relatives will get it.
Totally inadequate measures and wildly irresponsible for a virus with a 2.19R factor and 35-50% mortality. - Comment on "Public deserves to know”: Harvard Professor says official messaging contradicts hantavirus science 2 weeks ago:
R factor of 2.19!
And mortality of 35% to 50%!
Glad you made the distinction between Andes and ‘normal’ Hanta which they (mis)use to say it’s not so alarming.www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2009040
I am certainly a bit concerned, especially how nonchalant they handle it, trusting on self-quarantine and this for 2 weeks less than is required for Andes virus.
- Comment on "Public deserves to know”: Harvard Professor says official messaging contradicts hantavirus science 2 weeks ago:
It is respiratory if it’s the Andes Hantavirus, and it is.
These tourists literally went to the Andes.
While the first one has an R of 0,8 Andes has an R factor of 2.19 (see article below)
Anything R>2 has a high risk of large-scale epidemics.
Even for Covid is was difficult to determine the R-factor but 3.28 to 4.22 is significantly higher than initial WHO estimates of 1.4–2.5.
And this disease has not been thoroughly studied.
Another isue I found from this article says it can be transmitted to up to 8 weeks (even if exceptional).
I only know from NL and Be where the passengers have to quarantine for only 6 weeks.
And this in their homes.
This sounds verry risky and irresponsible.
Except for the passengers that left in St Helens and possible crew members ‘escaping’ the source (ship) was a good opportunity to end this quickly.
I feel like they’re taking big risks.
Especially if those quarantined believe the low risk transmissibility narrative. - Comment on The Cock-of-the-rock is one of the most difficult Brazilian birds to find in the world. 2 weeks ago:

- Comment on American workers are tired of waiting. 3 weeks ago:
LOL Both sides of the uniparty are warmongers.
americans are selfish and don’t give a fuck about what they do to other countries.
Bomb schools and hospitals and they cry because it makes prices go up and puts the lives of their baby killer military in danger.
They can fuck off.
At least the orange is an incompetent imperialist and speeds up the certain demise of your shitty cancer country.
The fact that he makes it bad for americans is a bonus.
You deserve it. - Comment on American workers are tired of waiting. 3 weeks ago:

But I see you’re another one of those campist clowns.

China has 4x the population.
They can spend more money from their healthy economy while the US is declining. - Comment on Wonder why? 5 weeks ago:
It is indeed not the current administration that led to this.
It certainly won’t help but that is not the cause, neither is the 2008 one.
China has been advancing in plenty fields for a few decades now.
They have already caught up or surpassed others in plenty fields.
Americans are clinging to their USA nr 1 mantra, but that’s delusional.
They refuse to accept to the fact they already have been beaten and there is nothing they can do about it.
Despite banning and sanctions China has a massive lead in nearly all crucial tech fields.
The gap will only become bigger. - Comment on Amazon started hiding ratings for some products 5 weeks ago:

Not the first time with the NHS.
I remember about 10 years ago they gave away medical records (twice and without consent).
Don’t remember what the first one was but the other one was 50 000 ophtalmology records.
This to a company called Eye-dentify.
I’m sure you can guess the ‘medical research’ purpose it served. - Comment on NHS Staff Told ‘Stop Criticising Palantir or Lose Your Job’ 1 month ago:
