Seems like the vaccine is the deadly roulette ticket: risk of fatal bloodclotting every time a new vaccine is administered while ironically being at a higher risk against new, potentially more dangerous, mutations compared to people who recovered from a Covid infection naturally. I guess it comes down how much you trust pharmaceutical companies having the payday of a lifetime and politicians on a power trip.
> a peer reviewed study in a well known scientific journal.
Isn't that a bit naive? Hypothetically, if the conspiracy theories were true, why would an established publisher take the risk to go against a genocidal cabal? It's infinitely easier (and healthier) to align yourself with the winning side.
> You have a very high opinion of Governments in order to perpetuate a conspiracy on that scale.
That's exactly what a government shill would say. /s
But seriously, I never found Hanlon's razor particularly convincing. The conspiracy theories usually say that there is some entity ABOVE your government that hands down the orders to the oblivious politician actors. Compartmentalization[0] is a common method in the military and intelligence community to keep the majority of their minions in the dark about the true nature and extent of their work.
Take Snowden for example: none of the (according to wikipedia) 30,000-40,000 internal employees stepped forward to blow the whistle on NSA's pervasive and illegal dragnet surveillance. It took Snowden, an external contractor of all things, to do what's right.
> I don't think you would if you don't rely on vulgarism, so please shoot.
Define vulgarism in this context?
The non-PC answer would be ethnic nepotism and corrupting influence through AIPAC and ADL. Jews are heavily overrepresented throughout every circle of power and influence (media, academia, business, politics) and trying to reign in Israel would mean going against that entrenched jewish power block which any prospective US presidential candidate relies upon. Call it a 'deep state' if you will.
As I've been told repeatedly, the science is settled and there is consensus from >99% of scientists that the politically critical Covid vaccine is completely safe. Questioning any of this just means that you're a science denier and blasphemer.
Thankfully, the article reminded me of the fact that I wanted to enroll for the CS50 today. Still I couldn't reproduce how to leverage that enrollment into an .edu mail address like the article purports. Any pointers? :D
The vagueness is intentional and it's surely supposed to strengthen their ownership claim on the idea of the "metaverse"[0].
But unless the company radically changes their internal KPIs, it's probably just a matter of time until Meta will taint that name too and evoke the same association as the word "metastasis" does.
The concept is called the "euphemism treadmill"[1], you can try to outrun the negative association but it will catch up eventually, famously evidenced by the company originally known as Blackwater[2].
As much as I hate the subscription model in software, I'd prefer it for social networks and messenger services to stop the omnipresent and insidious peeping model for advertising purposes which we see today and ideally before it starts to infect a nascent "metaverse" of AR and VR.
Apart from Craig White, everyone smart who was involved with the creation of Bitcoin and it's underlying technologies probably isn't oblivious to the danger of revealing themselves as Satoshi Nakamoto. Anyone and their family would be an instant juicy target for the US government, nation states, countless criminal actors or even desperate civilians down on their luck.
So the only person I would actually discard to be the real Satoshi is the one person that wants to be Satoshi the most - Craight Wright.
Is this a case of Gell-Mann amnesia in where the commenters usually lament how the US judicial system is fucked up in overcharging to force a plea deal but in this case the litany of charges is convenient proof of the extreme dangerousness of the Jan 6th protesters?
So much scripted drama while everybody involved is on the same page and wants and regulation and more censorship of FB:
Facebook wants regulation for itself to kick the ladder down for future competitors, the current "whistleblowers" want it for FB because of personal idelogical leanings toward modern identity politics, the legacy media corporations want regulation applied to FB hoping that it will somehow save the former's outdated business model and the Biden administration wants it in order to manufacture consent in the face of falling popularity ratings and to keep those pesky allegations of election fraud down (except for their own allegations against the opponent).
Let's see if she can avoid the modern feminist tropes:
- Mary Sue protagonist
- author self-insert power fantasy
- lesbian sex
- black/trans/female people good, white men evil
or (which is to be expected) if the villains will now become thinly-veiled MAGA stand-ins.
