It just occurred to me that Traveller still does it as medical debt/corporations (probably because it hasn't become a big video game or movie).

why are cyberpunk tabletop things so obsessed with decency and personhood being tied to how many surgeries you haven’t had

Why Cryptocurrency is Bad

Cryptocurrency has gained a lot of attention in recent years, but it comes with significant drawbacks that make it a controversial topic. One major issue is its negative impact on the environment. Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin require a process called mining, which uses an enormous amount of electricity. This energy often comes from non-renewable sources, contributing to climate change. Another problem is the lack of regulation, which makes cryptocurrency a hotbed for scams, fraud, and illegal activities like money laundering. Many people lose their savings due to the high volatility of crypto prices, as values can skyrocket one day and crash the next.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Cryptocurrency

Cryptocurrency has both advantages and disadvantages. On the positive side, it allows for fast and easy transactions anywhere in the world without needing banks. It also provides privacy and security because of blockchain technology. Many people like that cryptocurrencies are decentralized, meaning no government or company controls them. They can also be a good investment for some, as their value can grow over time.

At first i thought this was referring to what happened in March 2020, but no. Things haven’t changed! Even as far back as 1918 this was happening! (More on that later.)

The health center in this case was in Seattle, not Canada, but it’s close to the border for a reason. it’s explained further by this article:

When Canada shut its borders to stem the flow of COVID-19 last year, people continued to cross freely into Indigenous communities in Ontario and B.C. by water—mingling with residents who had scarce access to masks or even clean water for hand washing.

Native communities in both the US and Canada are severely neglected and actively endangered.

Indigenous people weren't consulted when lockdowns happened. They don't have a seat at the table. Whether you're talking about the federal, provincial or the local level, they're not asked their opinion. In B.C., the federal government closed borders without their knowledge.

In Ontario, when they opened up the province in July, they didn't talk to First Nations people. They didn't seem to realize people would get in their boats and come to the First Nations, bringing COVID to our communities. People would tie their boats off and walk into the communities like there was no pandemic. To me, that was a huge eye-opening piece. (University of Toronto)

It's expected that epidemics hurt those of lower socioeconomic means in particular, which many tribes are unfortunately within. Other communities of color—specifically Pacific Islander, Latino and Black communities—were hit heavily as well, having a "COVID-19 death rate of double or more that of White and Asian Americans."

Indigenous communities still have the highest percentage of deaths, which the Great Falls Tribune attributes to long-term disinvestment, racist public policies, ongoing settler colonialism. Chronic underfunding (especially in healthcare) with outdated machinery, crowded homes and deficient plumbing also contribute to the issue. Many reservations have little access to clean water, despite tribal water rights legally recognized for over a century. It makes sense that on reservations in particular, there often isn't enough room for people to quarantine the way that most of us are able to.

Native American communities are often the latest to be addressed when it comes to federal resources. This is consistent with what happened in 1918, which Dana Hedgpeth of the Washington Post pointed out in her article "Native American tribes were already being wiped out. Then the 1918 flu hit" (unfortunately the whole article is behind the paywall).

Frustratingly, articles such as this one attribute the high death toll to (as well as underlying health conditions), "lack of institutional resilience, the relationship between the federal governments and tribal governments, and lack of social trust." This may be true, but if so is not unwarranted given the many, many legally-binding treaties that have not been upheld. There is a whole History article on Broken Treaties with indigenous populations, and that's only covering some of the most famous ones!

Not to mention that Indigenous Americans have lower life expectancy and significantly disproportionate rates of diseases and chronic conditions, which as we know makes them all the more vulnerable to death upon contracting disease. In fact, an analysis of disparities conducted by the Federal Health Program for American Indians and Alaska Natives states, "American Indians and Alaska Natives continue to die at higher rates than other Americans in many categories, including chronic liver disease and cirrhosis, diabetes mellitus, unintentional injuries, assault/homicide, intentional self-harm/suicide, and chronic lower respiratory diseases."

Suffice to say, despite the many leaps in indigenous representation and recognition, indigenous tribes are often given the short end of the stick, especially when it comes to healthcare. We have to make it so that the next time something like this happens—and make no mistake, it will happen—things will be different.

THE DISADVANTAGE OF ICT

In the vibrant tapestry of Filipino society's interaction with ICT and technology, there exists a shadowy realm of undesirable actions, casting a pall over the vast landscape of innovation. While the majority revels in the comfort and convenience ushered in by these digital marvels, some individuals tread into darker territories. Instances of digital piracy, a modern-day scourge, have marred the digital seas. As eager hands navigate the vast oceans of information, some succumb to the allure of illegitimate acquisition, perhaps motivated by a misguided desire for free access to content or financial gain without due compensation. It's a dance with the forbidden, a clandestine pursuit spurred by a blend of opportunism and the illusion of anonymity that the digital realm sometimes provides. Unraveling the motivations behind such actions reveals a complex interplay of societal pressures, economic disparities, and the allure of the forbidden fruit in the boundless orchard of cyberspace. Yet, in acknowledging these shadows, we pave the way for dialogue and collective efforts to ensure that the digital horizon remains one of innovation, creativity, and ethical use for the benefit of all.

no offense but there is almost nothing in the world more shameful to me than letting your child be an ipad baby. I'm not saying parents don't have it hard, but I personally could not live with myself if I purposefully let my child get addicted to the technological equivalent of black tar heroin just because I'm too fucking tired to parent. literacy rates are at a record low right now -- partially because schools removed phonics from their curricula, yes, but also because fewer and fewer parents read to their children or encourage them to pick up a fucking book. you are allowing your child to emotionally and intellectually stunt themselves, and for what? I'm not saying kids shouldn't have any access to television or computers (they should, although particularly for computers I'd encourage one stationary PC in a computer room like we had in the 90's and 2000's), but no, your child should not have unsupervised, unlimited, unadulterated access to everything the web has to offer at the tender age of 6. or give them some age appropriate video games for god's sake. mario or spyro or SOMETHING. something other than tiktok and youtube. call me crazy for thinking that that's shit parenting. not to mention that by only giving them access to ipads and iphones that they don't know how to work actual computers anymore (go on, ask your 12 year old to open and save a file folder on your desktop, I dare you). a generation of shitty parents who have raised emotionally stunted low-attention-span illiterate incurious apathetic children who will very soon become an entire generation of illiterate incurious apathetic voters and consumers. that's another thing, too -- your children are constantly being advertised to and are being groomed to be relentless and uncritical consumers. your children are being preyed upon on multiple levels and you don't fucking care!! easier to call people giving you warnings "prudes" and "boomers" than actually think critically about your child and their future.

look I know parenting is hard. Unfortunately for you, your child didn't ask to be born, and it is nonetheless YOUR responsibility to raise them well and give them every fucking opportunity you can. and I am watching millions and millions of parents who could not give less of a fuck that they are actually materially disadvantaging their own children. im sick to my stomach for real.
