Ach. You seem full of (unrelated, unwarranted) ragefulness, and you stand ready to handwave away both scientific studies and actual user experience. Without, I see, providing any grounded counterpoints. As a bonus, anyone who disagrees with you is a ‘tool’ of sinister ‘bad actors’
Are you quite sure you’re on the right forum? That’s not generally how we do things here.
Not to burst your weird leftist-rightist libertarian bubble, but vaccine passports are actually a fairly normal thing in most of the world mate. You know, it's just about documenting what vaccinations you were receiving throughout your lifetime. Go outside and touch the grass, you sound very angry.
No mate, read your comments again- the only one projecting anything here is you. For my part, I was quite sure how to label you and it's based on the first two rows of what you wrote, which is a mix of leftist, right-wing and libertarian views. Now as others have also noticed, you seem to have some deep-seated psychological issues, most notable in your rumbling and unconnected thoughts. I mean this without malice: seek help.
I don't care about you - I don't even know you. But in the interest of the whatever community you are a part of, I implore you to look for professional help. And put your smartphone away - it's obviously not good for you.
... speaking of vaccines "not preventing transmission"...for the love of god, please learn how the vaccines work. Did they not teach you in the primary school that it's about priming body for the immune response by introducing a very small concentration of the virus into the body. No vaccine can prevents a transmission, it's purpose is to enable your body to respond and reduce the severity of the infection symptoms. Have the education standards really deteriorated so much, or is this just the effect of overexposure to the social media, I wonder?
Not being able to get your kid to sleep because the upstairs flat is now a weekend party place for tourists is… a non-problem?
‘Wonderful’ convenience for tourists, sure. Writing off reasonable objections as ‘ideological zealotry’ from ‘bad political actors’ is a very weird take.
Case in point, I recently backed out of buying a house when I found out the house next door was an Airbnb, and the neighbours were not digging the thoughtless visitors. Is that an ideological preference or a pro-sleep one?
Please read more carefully and don't shove your own words down other people's throats, it's rude and un-called for. What zealotry? The only politically-sided arguments in this thread are coming from you. By the way, if you took a few more seconds to read a bit more carefully, you would have noticed I never said they did not provide any value - only that the net negative seems to be outweighing the benefits to the society as a whole, and this is based on hard data, not ideology, mate. This is to make comparison to Threads, which is, unlike these two, not even providing a real-life service to justify it's existence. Plus, please learn: revenue != profits. I won't go down the rabbit hole of discussing the business models of Uber and Airbnb, you obviously haven't understood who carries the actual operating costs of those "businesses" and maybe in your world these are great services, as they come with an implicit ego-boost for all the Karens of this world?
