    Maybe if they dose with some hydroxycholorquine, ivermectin, and shoot some UV up their bum, they will get AMAZING protection??

    Why 5 years? Why not 1? Why not 50? What's so special to people about 5 years? I keep hearing people say "it hasn't been tested long enough" followed by "I'd take it in about 5 to …

    There are reports of Lee, or one of his contacts, offering admin roles for money basically to allow for paid harassment. Whether that is true or not isn't clear to me, but that wou…

    Some people really don't like Trump, myself included. Some people find opportunity to stick it to him - so what? I find it funny that a man who so values his notoriety is then defe…

    Censorship, by a company? On their own platform? How is that possible? As far as I know, only government cannot abridge your right to speech. A platform, like a store, has the righ…

    "a bit rude" in whose opinion? Yours? I'm glad that's settled because I was wondering how the rest of us should see it. I mean, since your opinion of what happened is de facto and …

    So, his cancelling of individuals outweighs that of others is what you're saying? Since he started the FSF, we should pay homage and allow his behavior to go unpunished? Celebrate …

    The far-right panders to extreme fear while the far-left panders to extreme progress. I'd much rather work with the far-left than the far-right.

    Tariffs don't hurt the producer as much as the consumer. But stupid politicians will tell you otherwise because they think they are smart!

    Did you read the article? The point of the study is to say that statistically this doesn't add up. Well, Covid is a once in every 100 years pandemic. Heart disease, influenza, and …

    Why is it suspect? When someone dies of influenza in a year, but has heart disease, do we say they died of heart disease or influenza? I suspect influenza is the cause of death. St…

    Why would the American Left need to? Look, it's obvious how easy this is to manipulate. Tell people that every year people die at higher rates of these four causes, but in 2020 we …

    The title seems misleading to me. Does the fact that "...blood samples from a cohort of more than 2,000 clinical and non-clinical healthcare workers..." might seem to indicate a ne…

    The first thing that struck me was "what about drugs that have little-to-no bioavailability after being ingested?" Would it make it possible to give drugs that are rejected for oth…

    Putting kids in cages isn't as bad as the Uighurs? Separating families at the border isn't similar? C'mon... we are just as shitty in the US as other countries any more.

    Apple, Google, Twitter, Facebook ALL operate in China without being SOLD to the Chinese government. So, why should we enforce a ban on TikTok only...? I know this isn't the forum f…

    I think we're seeing the difference between someone who is a programmer and someone who plays a programmer at work. :) Arguing that some modern, complex feature is "better than" a …

    That's a fantastic point. Most people in technology these days look at a problem and immediately think things like "more hardware" or "cloud deployment" all to get scalability. Sca…

    The over-usage of the "-gate" addition to anything that people take issue with is getting old as fuck. Seriously, can people not come up with something better? Also, is it truly a …

    I'm not sure you can call bullshit on someone's "perception". It's an opinion - if he sees it as slower, then he sees it as slower. Nothing you can do will convince his brain to se…

    I'm generally against Assange on all of this. Hacking is an illegal activity that results in the disclosure of information that the hacker does not own. This is theft of informatio…

    Do we need another strongly typed language that compiles to JavaScript? If that's so important, why don't people use C/C++ and compile that to WASM for best performance too? We've …
