Oh funny you say that because I commented that their ex banged a kernel maintainer and they’ve been mad ever since; banned me for it lol

Very temped to @ the one guy dedicating their life to posting in the LinuxSucks lemmy

Because he’s superman

Fuck yeah

Also look into runelite once you get going, if you haven’t already

Me debating a prolifer: “have you even considered the fact that the fetus refuses to condem Hamas?”

Gov: explodes oil prices

Also gov:

The tracks are made of people

Yes, but I meant that you could get the same results without DMing your buddy “wanna do a crime?”

… Though this frequently happens.

I mean, yeah, of course they are. With that said, they would be absolutely stupid to do so explicitly. If they actually find evidence during discovery, that just means management is dumb as rocks. So… They might.

Pedantics, really. In colloquial terms, it makes sense to describe a vaccine as doing exactly that. Not everyone has a grasp on the statistics involves; a huge number of people learned about R₀ for the first time because of covid. People were arguing over whether you should wash your hands and wear a mask like it was the dawn of germ theory; I forgive the media for not going into hour long lectures about viral replication in the body and the expected statistical significance of vaccination…

(And I hate to defend the MSM…)

I suggest you look into the clinical data about what studies were done prior to approval of the vaccine. It was a record-breaking modern deployment speed, yes, but not many corners were cut and the technology was pretty well understood and was always a potential tool for a rapid response scenario.

*edited my comment for additional context.

Yes, of course you can. But that’s significantly different from the vaccine causing the illness, which is what they were arguing against.

It isn’t a live virus vaccine, is what they’re saying. It contains no viral materials. Yes you can still get infected and spread the virus; thinking otherwise is an elementary-school understanding of immunology. No one knowledgeable would ever claim that specifically; they would say it reduces the spread and improves health outcomes when you do get exposed. It depends on how your body reacts to the vaccine, lead time to exposure, and the viral dose you’re exposed to.

I’m more inclined to believe they’re a doctor than you’re arguing in good faith…

Engineered bioweapons are of course a thing, but sars-cov-2 is far from that. Even at the time, I knew college kids who could probably make a more dangerous virus if they had the resources.

Covid was a slow underhand toss of what an existential threat could look like, and humanity / governments fumbled it right into a faceplant. It’s embarrassing, frankly.

All evidence and analysis of the virus point to natural origins and evolutionary pathways. There’s no evidence of editing or that it was part of gain-of-function research. The virus is relatively harmless by historic measures, but also not weak or documented enough to be used in evolutional studies. It would be far more potent if it was engineered, and it wouldn’t have been so novel if it was being used for research.

“The study used artificial intelligence to compare…” Bet it has a bullet-proof methodology too

Guess I’ll never know.

Seeing, in a row, an age ID article, Google’s QR captcha, and this. It’s all the same shit.

Capital is so fucking thirsty to know exactly who you are and what you’re doing every second of every day. Every rich and powerful person on earth is pushing governments and companies to get a live 24/7 camera feed of your asshole. Privacy will become impossible and resistance will become a crime.

Reward them for the world they’re making.

It’s finally the year of the Linux Desktop! And all it took was an apocalypse, the rise of the fourth reich, (soon to be) two global recessions, and continuing unprecedented damage to the world order / faith in international law.

Oh, and Windows actively trying its absolute hardest to make everyone hate it for about a decade.

But hey,… progess! The more penguins, the better.
