Weapon of motherly destruction?


Dammit. Everyone’s been using that site to get around paywalls because it works well. Now I have to go find another one that works as well. :|

Reminder: Block trolls and remind everyone else to block them. Once you take all the fun away from them from trolling, they go away.

You know, I don’t even care about that. What I do care about is billionaires who have been stealing our wages and wealth for decades. We need a fair living wage, $20/hr at a base minimum ($15/hr in 2015 with inflation is now $20/hr), and it should be more than that.
I’m tired of the oligarchs skimming off our wealth to enrich themselves, leaving most of us barely managing to get by. I’m fucking sick of it.
Refund Trump’s tariff bullshit? Sure, fine, that’s not a bad start, but that’s a drop in the damn bucket.


Yes, I understand the theory. And it’s fine to discuss speculation, because that could turn out to be the case.
But I also brought up glasses because not everything the body has done to survive is something that can’t be changed.
We’ll have to see what happens when we turn up the immune system.
As a hopefuly kidney transplant candidate at some point… I’m very interested as I know after a transplant, I have to take things to suppress my immune system, so I particularly suspect for that reason I might not be able to benefit from this new thing… but I hope I’m wrong :)


Jesus Christ you are a hardheaded idiot.


Well, kiddo, here’s the thing. I’m already firmly aware of how current vaccines work, and that they target specific viruses and bacteria. So your attempt to bring facts into the conversation was useless for me. I already know them.
And I already know something you don’t: That has nothing to do with what’s presented in this article.
So let me bring the salient part of the article to your attention:
Their approach marks a “radical departure” from the way vaccines have been designed for more than 200 years, they say.
Experts in the field said the study was “really exciting” despite being at an early stage and could be a “major step forward”.
Current vaccines train the body to fight one single infection. A measles vaccine protects against only measles and a chickenpox vaccine protects against only chickenpox.
This is how immunisation has worked since Edward Jenner pioneered vaccines in the late 18th Century.
The approach described in the journal Science does not train the immune system. Instead it mimics the way immune cells communicate with each other.
It is given as a nasal spray and leaves white blood cells in our lungs – called macrophages – on “amber alert” and ready to jump into action no matter what infection tries to get in.
The effect lasted for around three months in animal experiments.
So in other words, IF THIS WORKS, it does not work in the same way that you bring up, meaning your “fact” is USELESS and OFF-TOPIC, and had you spent two minutes of your time BOTHERING to read the article, you would have prevented yourself from looking like a stupid mothingfucking dumbass.
But no. Congrats, you stupid motherfucking dumbass, you not only look stupid, but you were stupidly rude about it on TOP of that.
Wow.
What a spectacular failure.
When you read the article, do let us know if you deign to grace us with more facts. We might honestly find them interesting. But until you do, know that you are WRONG and RUDE and please shut the hell up.


The point is that nothing you said had anything to do with the article, so if you don’t want to fucking read the article before you spout off, it is YOU who should piss off.
That being said, once you do read the article, perhaps I would love to learn what relevant facts you have. But until then, you’re the asshole barging into the coffee shop MAKE ME A COFFEE NOW I DON’T CARE ABOUT ANYONE ELSE. Yeah, well, there’s a fuckin’ line here, man. Terrible analogy, but the point is that it is you who started off rude by commenting without bothering to read.
I notice that you were told you should read the article WELL before you replied to that person, so you already knew you should have read the article before being rude to them. Wow.


But the way evolution works is “whatever works that keeps the species alive”.
We haven’t evolved reading glasses, but they are helpful devices with very few downsides.
That said, there may well be unintended consequences and effects, sure.


I’m not sure I’d put any truck into fictional sci-fi where everything needs a good story, so any positive needs a negative…
…but I get it. And yeah, it’s a worry.


Can you explain what you mean?


Thank you for your misplaced sarcasm. I am quite aware, friend. I have been seeing down votes for decades, warning people about the fascism that was coming. But thank you, you have judged me very well on one simple post and all of that time was for naught. I bow down to your superiority.

Oh yeah, I assume it’s that level of stupidity. Idiots in charge with zero concept of laws or IT or security.


Either way, letting them know we’re about to strike is stupid, so of course that’s why he can’t keep his trap shut about it.


Can we fucking not.
Also:
“He is spending a lot of time thinking about this,” one source said.
No he fucking is not.

My brain always reads this as “/handjob” and it breaks my brain for a sec. :)
Well, yes, I’ll be off looking for them next time I need to use an archival site. I’m bummed to learn this crap about archive.ph.
