Are these vaccines—is this injection—100 percent safe? As a parent of two children that go to this school, I’m not willing to take the chance on a question mark.
This is infuriating. Nothing is 100% safe – do you drive your kids to work? Do you wear seatbelts? Why? Because they are safer than driving without them, despite the fact that they could, perhaps, kill your child.
Like everything else, it’s a risk, but that risk is absolutely better than the alternative.
I have a feeling these parents know this, but want to outsource that risk to other parents/children so that they can go on living their lives with the knowledge that other people will pull the weight of public health for them.

The risk is better than the alternative
To folks wondering why some styles look a little messed up—yeeeah so some things are having issues. I’m working on a big update that will fix and restructure certain areas, and just clean up a lot of stuff so it doesn’t look haphazardly thrown together. I most likely won’t bother trying to fix the wonky styles, unless it affects readability. I’m only one person, yo. But…STAY TUNED.
Dragon Quest Composer Koichi Sugiyama Has Died
I dunno how to feel about this. On the one hand, I just got into Dragon Quest and love the series so far, and Sugiyama was a big part of it. On the other hand, “asshole” doesn’t even describe him. And the DQ music was good, but not as good as say Final Fantasy’s (really enjoying the soundtrack for the FFVII remake). Kinda messed up that DQXI originally had to ship with the midi version because he didn’t want people to hear the orchestrated version. 🙄 WTF
Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Oculus are down. Here’s what we know [Updated]
General consensus from the comments: should’ve left it broken
Don’t buy animals at pet stores, folks.
Activision Blizzard settles discrimination lawsuit for a fraction of its yearly earnings
Pfft, and here I was hoping this would hurt them a tiny bit, but nahhh.
Activision Blizzard are now being investigated by the US government
It’s about damn time, son!
[Lemmy] Facebook Is Censoring People For Mentioning Open-Source Social Network Mastodon
😂
FYI, be sure to read the article it’s linking to as well:
Facebook Is Censoring People For Mentioning Open-Source Social Network Mastodon
It’s just getting to the point where I want to ditch Facebook forever but so many friends and family use it. :/ (And a lot of these people live miles and miles away, so no, I can’t just “visit them in person”. Especially not during a pandemic.)
If you want to play a game, like let’s say No Man’s Sky and you find that your game keeps getting FPS drops, you can turn down the screen resolution. Be sure to pick one with the same aspect ratio as your monitor, if you don’t want that squished look. Depending on how frequent the FPS drops are, you might not need to downsize that much. NMS was able to run pretty darn well at 1600×900 (starting originally at 1920×1080).

When 404s swear at you 👀
Not sure if they actually thought I had a file named this or if they were just REALLY desperate and wanted to try anything. Like…wut.
Edit: lel…ok, I get it 😏
Checking the 404 logs be like…
5% actual URLs that existed at one point and the rest, bots trying to find exploits. 😐
As a follow-up to this update, I got Mapbox setup on the frontend only. Setting it up on the admin dashboard is…a little more complicated. I might have to wait till the plugin devs add Mapbox as a provider or show us how to set it up ourselves. I see that there’s a feature request on ACF’s message board made earlier this year, so hopefully, maybe we’ll get something like this sooner than later.
(I know about the add-on by WPBees, but want to try free alternatives first.)
In the meantime, I won’t be able to use maps for photo posts for now.
