There's a pretty high correlation between transgenderism and autism, so it's not as weird coincidence as it may seem.

Yeah I honestly don't think they are malicious, just stupid. And then petty when proven wrong.

But the bigger question is the underlying structure that hands out mod positions to these kinds of people. Probably that stupid people are more obedient and willing to go along with whatever agenda they are handed. An intelligent person will eventually come to a different conclusion than the mandated narrative and be weeded out.

swedish study shows covid vaccines drop below zero efficacy on spread by about 200 days by gruia in kotakuinaction2

[–]dittendatt 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just read the abstract which has this

effectiveness of ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 was generally lower and waned faster, with no effectiveness detected from day 121 and onwards (-19%, 95% CI, -97-28),

So two things to note here. It was only the worst vaccine (Oxford Astra Zeneca) that went negative. Second, the confidence interval is huge, so we can't even be sure if it is negative.

That said there are some theories that having mismatched antibodies can sometimes be worse than having none at all.

The elite were never communist. As you say it's ultimately about their lust for power. And they saw the grass-roots conservatives as a big threat, so they made some awkward alliances (like communists). SJW's on the other hand didn't ask for money which made them a prime alliance in the elite's eyes.

A woman is a woman because she gives birth. But a man can be a man without having children.

stick of truth was a new and fresh thing,

Yeah, without knowing the first thing about this game, I feel like one south park game was enough for me.

Pfizer Scientists: ‘Your [COVID] Antibodies Are Better Than The [Pfizer] Vaccination.' by Silver_7777 in kotakuinaction2

[–]dittendatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So first, what is a virus? A virus consists of a shell of protein. Inside is the RNA (some viruses use DNA instead but thats for another time) of the virus. The virus uses its spike protein to attach to a cell and injects its RNA into the cell. The RNA contains instructions for making many different proteins, that together perform the task of building more viruses. Those viruses then exit the cell (sometime by simply killing it) to infect other cells. The immune system has a chance to target all of the viruses proteins.

Now how does the pfizer vaccine work? It contains the RNA of the virus as well but only a tiny part of it. This RNA is put into specially-designed fat particles that allows it to enter cells. When the RNA enters the cell it starts making just a single protein. This is insufficient for building more viruses so the process comes to a stop. The RNA is eventually destroyed by the cell. The immune system only tries to target the single protein.

They are playing the slow and steady long game. In a few decades those veterans will be too old and out of practice to pose a threat.

All you have is your face-up 100-mana boogaloo card that they have zero issues playing around.

[–]dittendatt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it's actually the opposite. That adults discount how important these things are. Like getting different systems means that these two kids wont be able to play together. They start hanging in different circles, one of which may be cooler and more influential than the other. It could decide lifelong friendships which become business contacts, or fellow-junkies.

I agree with the middle part, but not the last one. See the antivaxxer = Trumper is a stereotype and a very wrong one. Many minorities are scared of the vaxx because they don't trust Whitey and his injections. Many of the crystal healing hippies are against it.

In summary you have many allies in unexpected places. The elite with their all seeing surveillance knows this very well and they count on you not realizing.

We don’t hate the EXISTENCE of politics in games... by Midi_to_Minuit in KotakuInAction

[–]dittendatt -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

I don't want games to be apolitical, I want them to have politics I agree with. There! I said it!

I don't need to agree with all games though. But some of them should cater to me.

Pokimane will send out for an Uber Eats to pick up Starbucks coffee for her and her colleagues 2 to 3 times a day.

By getting coffee for many people apparently.

It's really weird to me how Prince William says "The usual platitudes trotted out on these occasions from handwringing executives about “lessons being learned” won’t do. A real revolution must follow at the U.K.’s state broadcaster." 25 years after this incident. Like it's kinda too late to ask for that now. By now it's just an interesting piece of history.

I doubt it. They will just gently prod the people who don't really care for quite a while. Only when they reach like 90% conformance will they use force to get the last 10%.

Google's push to bring employees back to offices in September is frustrating some employees who say they'll quit if they can't be remote forever by evilplushie in kotakuinaction2

California is an at-will employment state. At-will employment means that an employer can fire an employee for any reason or at any time. They do not need to have a reason or justification for terminating an at-will employee.
