    I recently had to ride to a few offices with another techpeep. I, of course, was masked. He, on the other hand, was not.

    I don't recall how the discussion got there, but we were talking about shutting down schools due to the #COVID-19 pandemic and he said that "we knew from the beginning that it basically did not affect children and that we didn't need to do that". I pointed out that we did not know any such thing, and that despite generally less severe effects, those kids live with parents, grandparents, and other adults ... sending them into germ factories unmasked (as he'd have wanted) would have been a death sentence for many of the adults in these kids' lives.

    Then I mentioned that most schools have ventilation issues and many are in buildings that date back 50-100 years. (And in fact, one of the facilities we were supporting was in an old school that was probably built in the late 1940s or early 1950s. In this case, it was an area of small towns where almost everyone under 50 had left to find jobs, so most of the schools closed.) He insisted that all schools had done ventilation upgrades in 2020 as the pandemic spread across the nation.

    At that point, I understood that this person likely ingested too much propaganda from a certain "news" channel, much of which is probably originally designed in Moscow, so I stopped responding.

    He was probably a normal or nearly-normal person until the fear that #2019-nCoV was a plot by #China and the #Democrats to displace #Trump came about. I don't have any indication that this is what he believed / believes, but I think a lot of #anti-vaxxers and #anti-maskers started there and moved on to their extreme beliefs afterward.

    This should surprise me, but it doesn't.


    ♲ @lnxw48a1@nu.federati.net: #Trump digital trading cards ( #NFTs ? ) sold out at $99 each, says website. www.theregister.com/2022/12/08… [www theregister com]

    I'm surprised. I figured that most prospective buyers would be like my neighbor: old and cranky, and in no way savvy enough to buy digital collectibles. I figured that his fans would eagerly buy physical trading cards (collectible quality, so archive quality materials, plastic sleeves, laser-engraved authenticity sticker) for that much or more, but not the digital version.

    > Later on Truth Social Mr Trump said the non-fungible tokens (NFTs) were "very much like a baseball card, but hopefully much more exciting".

    > The "one-of-a-kind" assets in the digital world can be bought and sold like any other piece of property, but have no tangible form of their own.

    > They can be thought of as certificates of ownership for virtual or physical assets.

    > Advocates say NFTs are the digital answer to collectibles, but critics have warned about risks in the market, which emerged from the wider world of cryptocurrency. Activity in the space has dropped this year, alongside a plunge in cryptocurrencies.

    As I understand it, the actual files of #NFTs tend to be hosted on #IPFS, but if someone doesn't "pin" the files, they can eventually be deleted. And some have been hosted on a regular website, which really stinks if and when the site shuts down or even rearranges and replaces its former content with something new.

    > A report for the US Congress this year noted that NFT sales have been used to collect credit card and other financial information, and been subject to other scams.

    Which isn't surprising. Every other sales channel has been abused that way, from restaurant purchases to retail stores, to mail order. This line makes it sound like those are unique threats to NFTs, but they are part of the danger when one uses a credit card to buy anything.

    By the way, #Trump's #Truth_Social #socnet is supposedly a modified version of the #Mastodon software. As far as I know, it does not federate (so there's no need to get excited about #blockwars and push #fediblock).

    • Economics of the US Economy
    This guy next to me is listening to a #Trump interview about #RU_vs_UA and the economy.

    I know that Trump produced better economic !econusa results for Black and Hispanic Americans than any previous president, but I think it was mostly accidental. I don't pretend that putting him back in office would produce similar results.

    I am really not used to hearing this sort of stuff at work. These last few days in #NYC could get a little rough.

    And please, please, #twin_parties, let us not have a rematch of the 2016 election. Let both of those candidates go home and walk on the beach, pondering where they went wrong.

    I'm sure he has other videos about impeachment. I'd like to hear his opinion of what happens beyond removal from office. I suppose I could just read the Constitution and try to interpret it for myself, but as shown in the above-linked video, there is a lot of Supreme Court (and other federal courts') case law, plus statutes.

    @mangeurdenuage Well, most of the states have certified their results and most of the lawsuits are over. So, barring either a Supreme Court decision or faithless electors at the electoral college, we know #Biden will be the next President, taking over in January.

    I'm still trying to avoid nearly all #politics / #USPol / #Election_2020 news and discussion, but it is time for #Trump and his supporters to face reality and accept defeat. A better focus is the upcoming runoff elections for two #GA Senate seats.

    The pinkish color of most of the as yet unprojected states indicates that they believe those states are leaning red, voting to support #Trump. Interestingly, the undecided district in #NE is a very light blue, leaning to support #Biden, while the undecided district in #ME is pinkish.

    #AK is still pure white, as little polling or exit polling occurs there.
