Yes?

I'm curious, did you expect anyone to be able to do more than that? AFAIK, best case scenario has always been widespread distribution in 2022.

(also, there's the entire rest of the forums for cynical bleakness. Not this thread)

While I won't be a guinea pig for big pharma to test new drugs for rich people I too believe we will end this pandemic. I just think we'll do it by acting like adults and behaving as if we care about the fact that we are pandemicing.

not to cheerlead for evil pharma freaks but the plan as stated (take it with a grain of salt) is that they charge the gubbamint like 20 bux for each dose and then you get it from the state for free.

Yup. And my comment was specifically in response to concerns about out of pocket cost concerns, which is a very American concern. Most countries do a better job of providing poo poo like this to their citizens, so I do in fact think that Americans don't have to skip rent to get vaccinated is pretty drat blessed.

Hate to be a party pooper but I'm p sure the cat just knows that if it steps on buttons it gets some sort of attention. Cats don't care enough about pleasing their owners to actually learn to communicate like that.

The doggo tho is definitely having some sort of conversation.

yeah at best cats would learn that certain sounds are associated with food but really the cat is just trying buttons until something nice happens. cats are social and they show affection but they don't give a poo poo about making people happy like dogs do, cats will make demands and if the demand isn't met they just shrug and do something else

At the same time, they're capable of learning. It doesn't have to understand the word to know that pressing one button results in treats and another results in attention. loving rats can figure that much out.

Yeah, I mean, my one cat has been yelling at me for the past hour for early dinner, which he does every single night to no avail. I know what he wants - he doesn't need to push a button that says "food!".

I've got no doubt that he could learn to do that. What I question, though, is whether he could actually understand intensifiers, or buttons like "later". I want to believe, but I think that lady with the cat with the buttons is mostly just projecting. Same as Clever Hans or Koko.

I've watched a few of those videos and IDK if that cat ever does anything more than stand on one button or two right next to each other.

The cat just knows it gets attention when it steps on buttons.

Barbarian was a masterpiece of cinematography and unorthodox storytelling, perfectly cast and scored. It's absolutely one of a kind and Hollywood will probably never make a big budget movie like it ever again.

Destroyer was a cookie cutter Hollywood fetch quest and lacked any depth or substance. It did, however, produce this very blessed image:
