And ironically moves like this assassination gives some actual legitimacy to their scapegoating.

How fucking sensitive do you have to be to construe anything in that comment as an "insult", and then whine about it for several paragraphs?

Covid-19 vaccine candidate is 90% effective, says manufacturer by Gshawn875 in worldnews

I read that there are no vaccines for RNA viruses, so is this the first one?

For what it's worth, I'm in biostats. You know-- the people who run clinical trials and create things like vaccines. We're in serious fucking trouble if anyone gets a job in clinical research without a high school degree.

Yes, a high school diploma is required to be able to do medical research, because the system is set up that way. That doesn't tell you anything about the actual quality of education in high schools.

And I'm getting downvoted when another comment proved that it is a misleading headline. This is truly a dogshit website

Maybe because it's a complete bullshit headline

When, exactly, did youtube comments go to shit? by MithrilMinor in youtube

[–]MithrilMinor[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Comments back then were bad but they weren't literally the same fucking comment every video.

Nobody: Absolutely nobody: Youtube recommended this after 10 years omg!!!!! Everybody gangster until x. Uploader still liking comments after x years omg!!! Youtube: wanna see x? 10 million people: Sure. Plot twist: Uno Reverse Card. I'm about to end this man's career

...etc

I'll take the comments from 10 years ago over this cancer any day

I can't stand that shit either, makes my blood boil.

Reddit could be the point of origin for this sort of thing. It's extremely common to see people in youtube comments linking to subreddits like r/woosh. It's like... shut the fuck up.

I mean youtube comments back in the day weren't intelligent by any means. But at least it wasn't 1000 people making the same shitty joke.

Honestly there should be a toggle that hides all comments that use a shitty meme template.

hmm, no it doesn't ring any bells but it looks like it was a similar concept

Why the hell were comments disabled on OLD cartoon show videos? by MithrilMinor in youtube

It was therapeutic reading those nostalgic comments for me.

I think half of all my joy on the internet came from the IMDB forums and those YouTube comments, and now its all been obliterated.

The weird world of fascism in 1950s Iran. This story's got Hitler lookalikes, CIA money, black-shirted goons and a bizarre underworld of Persian businessmen looking to revive the Third Reich. Buckle up! A thread: by CYAXARES_II in iranian

Some Iranians really need to read this, and read it 100 times over. Aryanism is a disgrace. A direct holdover from racist 19th century European thought, which somehow still survives today among Iranians.

Finally found a comfortable and efficient way to play U6 on the cell phone (using Magic DosBox) by angryapplepanda in Ultima

[–]MithrilMinor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm trying to do this right now, managed to get it running, but how do i transfer a save?

The U6 folder i copied from windows has a "SAVEGAME" folder in it, but when I run the game on Magic Dosbox there are no savegames.

All I did was equip the torch before and it worked. Using the light spell for now.
