To be totally fair to the guy. It looks like he said the first quote around 1906. Peoplr were taking lymph or pus material from diseased individuals and then directly applying them to open scratches/wounds as a form of vaccine.
They were nowhere near the quality of vaccines we have today, and the first deactivated viral vaccine wasn't created until much later.
You're reading too much into a single sentence sarcastic statement.
I don't think there's anything wrong with sitting still and thinking intently. I think more people could benefit from that. It's finding any sort of spirituality in those moments that I think is bullshit.
I'm a whole cisgendered 30 year old male who games a bit too much, so I try to discourage misogynistic comments when they're made by people in games.
I think there's another layer to the misogyny where any form of "defending" women is seen as white-knighting or simping. You don't even have to be directly referring to comments about a specific person, but you'll still be labeled as a loser who likes women, for some reason.
Demand went up but supply hasn't adjusted, and maybe won't, to meet it. I'd imagine the parts manufacturers would be worried about the bubble bursting as much as we are cheering it on.
There's no limit to the self righteousness of lemmy users. Common mentality around here.
