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.

Apprpropriate for a Star Trek AMA :)


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. :)


My investigation into Alpha School also reveals that the massive amounts of data the company collects on students, including videos of them, is stored in a Google Drive folder that anyone with the link—even if they’ve left the company, or if it was sent to them—could access. In turn, that sensitive material is viewed by more Alpha School employees than students and parents may realize.
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I’m gonna stop you right there with a huge huge WHAT the FUCK. That is an incredible decision to have made. Stunning.
I saw that Alpha School maintains a spreadsheet which contains a list of student names, their grade, and an archive of their recordings which shows what’s happening on their screen, their remote tutor, and a video of the student taken via their webcam. This spreadsheet is not only available to anyone at the company, but is also shared in such a way that anyone on the internet who has the link can access the spreadsheet and the videos of students.
“If I wanted to, I could go there and just watch students. Anybody who worked in this capacity could watch the videos of students working on their laptops,” one Alpha School employee told me. “So many hours of just students’ faces […] I’m not sure parents understand exactly what’s going on with that data […] I don’t think that this is clearly communicated, because I’m sure there’d be a lot more opt outs if it was.”
Wonder how many pedos work for the company.


Dunno if that’ll be better, but I created it to see if it helped :)


I did more skimming than reading of the linked article because I don’t care that much abou tthe topic, but I just want to say: We need more of this journalism. THIS is what journalists should be doing so much more of. Calling out lies and specifically this is a great format for that.


It shows you how insular these people must be. That ad was the result of meeting after meeting, plan after plan. They had convinced themselves that the public would eat it up. We would be like “Holy shit that’s amazing, let’s give you ALL our data and video and privacy!”. They actually thought we would go for it. lol.


Text truly is a difficult medium. It doesn’t help that many statements that would have definitely been sarcasm a couple of decades ago are legitimately said by fascists these days.
I’ve been on the internet since 1994, and I was on BBSes before that from 1987, so that along with my ADHD means I tend to over-use emoticons to indicate the light-hearted tone of most of the things I write. heh.
Also I also overuse “lol” and “heh” and “meh” for those purposes, too.
I know some rail against the usage of “/s”, but really, it’s no bad thing. Sure it may identify some jokes that the author intended to be subtle, but in the days where these things are said by some people… it’s just necessary, alas.


Thank you, this gives me where to go looking next :)


Thank you. I’ll play around with available clients, then :)
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 :)
