Lol florida is gonna entirely drown over the next few decades. Suck it floridailures

It's too bad for the minority of cool floridians, but at least they're probably smart enough to hold their breath when the water gets above their head, and then they can rule over the floating ruins, waterworld style. They could even sell MAGAite corpses to commandant zuck's soylent factory ship (it comes by every 9/11 because hold-out MAGAite survivors invariably emerge on that date to salute america, and then fall in the water and drown, providing extra corpses)

twitter is an excellent medium and has no problems

SA has its flaws, but I like it way better than reddit or twitter for the reason that if you disagree with someone on SA they still have to read your dumb post or at least ignore you and scroll past your blocked posts every time. (Which they always have to spend time to click on and read anyway).

disagree on reddit? well its at the bottom and hidden and nobody will ever see it
twitter? its just a cesspit of bots jerking each other off and people trying to talk about important issues in a tiny amount of space. and then everyone getting offended at each other for not capturing the important essence of the issue in 140 characters or less

Read Gene Wolfe if you haven't yet, The Fifth Head of Cerberus in particular is incredible.


I've got a huge though thankfully finally diminishing backlog of fiction that I didn't get to read during grad school, so uuh that might be a while.

The TSR novels were written from the perspective that their audience would age out every four years and be completely replaced, so it's excusable that they basically republished the same poo poo over and over I guess.

I will never forgive Salvatore for killing Chewy, even if it isn't canon anymore. :colbert:

I think it's tolerable as long as we don't start using "based" and "btfo" like channers. Once that catches on, close the forums, imo.

to receive an emptyquote is so much more filling, rewarding, than a simple retweet or upvote. those may give you a brief rush but a string of empty quotes, a man can live on empty quotes.

This is why we can't have nice things. Read the article.

quote:

The treatment requires removing millions of a patient’s T-cells — a type of white blood cell — and genetically engineering them to kill cancer cells. The technique employs a disabled form of H.I.V., the virus that causes AIDS, to carry new genetic material into the T-cells to reprogram them. The process turbocharges the T-cells to attack B-cells, a normal part of the immune system that turn malignant in leukemia. The T-cells home in on a protein called CD-19 that is found on the surface of most B-cells.

The altered T-cells — called chimeric antigen receptor cells — are then dripped back into the patient’s veins, where they multiply and start fighting the cancer.

There's no mass-rewriting of a person's genome. It's basically sending out a sample of your immune cells to be rewritten to kill a different class of immune cells that are proliferating out of control.

Chemotherapy is barbaric and anything moving us away from the "kill cancer slightly faster than you kill the patient" model is great.
