Blocking people who are harassing you seems like a reasonable balance to free speech.

Just because you are saying things doesn’t mean another citizen has to listen to them.

It would be ideal to wait for the people you hate to express the ideas you hate before hating them.

If you have young children, better not take pics of them, lest apple inc accuses you of being a predator.

Thanks for sharing your perspective. Lot of weirdness on the Internet the last few years.

It is shocking to me that anyone would consider Wikipedia as an irrefutable source of truth.

Logs are only useful if they are monitored.

This individual seems to look at events that happen that don’t align with their prejudices and assumes that the signal is an aberration.

Nihilists get burned. You have to hold people accountable for the consequences of their action rather than their intention.

Wow. Wonder what Alan Einstein is advising the leadership on the effectiveness of this approach. You should work hard to minimize all of your taxes if this is how they are going to waste it.

The weird culture around social justice and systemic racism gets treated with the same respect as Jehova’s witnesses, Mormons and Scientologists where I live. What’s commonly accepted as progressive online seems to be widely perceived as rehabilitating race-based discrimination here.

Is that consistent with your experience?

I currently look at Twitter as a destination for socially approved statements.

Twitter is a place where you are either celebrated for having approved perspectives or risk professional destruction.

New users can only be craven popularity chasers. Old users either conform or quit. Why would anyone play in that sandbox if you have any respect for diverse opinions?

In the mobile industry at the very beginning of the introduction of iPhone/android devices, we referred to “feature” phones (e.g Symbian), “smartphones” (e.g Android and windows phone)and “super phones” or “the hero device” which was exclusively the iPhone. I always thought Hero was an odd reference, but maybe there is a connection to Oshima’s request.

“The huge success of the mRNA vaccination platform”

Does anyone know what the agreed upon criteria for asserting the success of mRNA vaccinations is?

Aren’t we anticipating an uptick in cases in the US as we approach winter? Why are we assuming success already?

That intellectual might of disagreement by mouse click is underwhelming.

The only thing downvotes reliably represent is the zeitgeist of the average user (and certain power users) of this site.

Downvotes provide a safespace from uncomfortable truths that challenge orthodox beliefs.

It’s been almost 20 years since Bill Gates committed to giving away his money, and somehow he is worth more now than when he made that public commitment.

The man deserves recognition for the scale of his lie, and he is hoisted up as some reliable resource on vaccination and global pandemics. Serious topics deserve credible spokespeople.

Sources are first hand- sorry. Don’t have documentation to point to. Know of a two healthy people who were diagnosed with diabetes within a couple days of the second shot.

Apparently this phenomenon is known for actual covid sufferers.

Does the fact that the major vaccine vendors are encouraging placebo recipients to be notified about their receipt of a placebo, plus encouragement that they go get the vaccine affect your confidence in the trial process for this vaccine?

https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2021/02/19/9691430...

“According to Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna, interim analyses after approximately 2 months of follow-up suggest their vaccines are 90% to 95% effective at preventing SARS-CoV-2 infection, although no peer review of the data has been conducted to date. Both companies now claim they have an “ethical obligation” to offer vaccine as soon as possible to all participants who received placebo, considering the strong results and participants’ contribution to the research.“

What is the right way to collect this data, given that the frontline practitioners are actively discouraging any patients from making a connection for adverse reactions with the vaccine?

Put another way: Isn’t VAERS a necessary solution to ensure that the healthcare system does not misrepresent the safety of the vaccines? Transparency should be a first principle requirement for science.

I’ve started shopping explicitly for conservative colleges for my kids.

I don’t understand why anyone would go into debt for institutions that want to crucify youthful stupidity. Oregon in particular seems to struggle with this topic.

This is a post mortem for a corpse that was already dead.

Trump derangement syndrome guaranteed this outcome.

Reap what you sow. American mainstream media is pure propaganda, full stop. The national voice is the pr teams of our most valuable corporations. The patient is dead.

When was the last time you thought about what Julian Assange is going through?
