  • I know little about Russia, but a quote from earlier this year from a Russian:

    Boris Vishnevsky, a member of the St. Petersburg Legislative Assembly, responded to Beglov’s remarks, saying in a Telegram post that “a quarter of Russians do not have centralized sewerage,” citing data from Rosstat, Russia’s state statistics service.

    “And basically, it is hard to imagine something more gender-neutral than a backyard ‘latrine’-style toilet,” he added.

    For context: In response to criticizing gender neutral toilets in Ukraine (I don’t know if they mean individual/private unisex bathrooms, or actual group restrooms they think are trans bathrooms, it’s not the point of this discussion anyways).

    For others, I set up uBlock at minimum.

    For myself uBlock + uMatrix.

    If on a computer need more security uBlock + uMatrix + NoScript.

    uBlock and uMatrix can block scripts, but I find NoScript’s fine grain control to be user friendly. Makes it a pain to browse the web though, until you setup each of your normal sites.





  • Yeah, it reads very different once you add in the punctuation (from Snopes in this case), and the context of it being in the middle of a much longer response to the question:

    “But we cannot let this … we’ve never allowed any crisis from a Civil War, straight through to a pandemic in ‘17, all the way around – in ’16 – we have never, never let our democracy take second fiddle, we can both have a democracy and elections and at the same time protect the public health.”

    I still wouldn’t portray it as great (particularly the years), but the meme makes it seem much worse than it is.

    Edit: It’s US political season, so we’re going to see lots of stuff like this through next November. I’d suggest anyone that wants to minimize their political exposure add the names of candidates to their word filter list, and anything else you don’t want to see.
