multijoe posted:We have ordered enough doses of a domestically produced vaccine to cover the entire population alone and its being administered primarily by one of the only institutions in this country which still functions, despite the Tories best efforts. Reflexive nihilism? That assumes the person thinks this had a snowball's chance in hell. Everything else you said is also ridiculous but if you can't see why, I guess go write for the Guardian or something.

forkboy84 posted:How long has she been on them? Because it can take up to 2 months before they actually work, and in those 2 months you can deal with side effects which are pretty lovely and can be a blow to self esteem (total lack of sex drive and erectile issues from my own, male, experience). I had to stop taking a SSRI because it conflicted with more important medication and goddamnit I miss the total lack of sex drive as a "side effect". Totally being able to zone out other people and not worry what they think about me and I think about them? Giev. I was like an emotionless robot on them. Miss it real bad. Now, getting used to them (and being without them too) gave me the zaps and just constant zoning out and nausea. That part wasn't fun.

Bobby Deluxe posted:The problem with middle class libs is that they absolutely do not want to look at anything at more than a surface level, because it undoes the fabric of the rug they've thrown over all the problems in the world in order to convince themselves the system works and they are on the right side of history (now that it's ended of course). Better tl;dr - they're more concerned with being right than improving anything at all. You'll see that pattern repeat a lot.

OwlFancier posted:The problem with liberalism being the dominant ideology is it attracts the utterly incurious and stupidest people around, because you don't have to think, you just babble things you heard somewhere else and ape the tone of others and everyoe nods along like an idiot. To be fair that's just what humans do by default. Because things have been fine for me thus far, they'll continue being fine as long as nothing changes, so anyone who wants to change anything is bad. Thinking only makes you upset.

Bobby Deluxe posted:Yeah, there's a huge difference between not knowing, and actively resisting knowing. I know multiple philosophers who would disagree. But then you ask what it's good for and the answer's mostly "knowing useful knowledge is mostly either a posteriori or pulled out of your rear end".

OwlFancier posted:You could also view that as just another part of the evolutionary process though, there is a latent desire for that kind of poo poo, people create algorithms that drive engagement, many forms of engagement are harmful to society and to individuals but when has the drive for profit ever cared about that? So more effective algorithms are created and better ways to bombard people with content and people who believe the poo poo create more content in more ways and refine their methods further and you end up here. You end up here, says man, halfway down the swirl in the toilet bowl.

goddamnedtwisto posted:It's absolutely this, and it's definitely not a coincidence that conspiracy theories have exploded in the last decade and particularly the last five years. The gap between the image of life sold by the media and politicians is so far removed from the lived reality of so many people that it creates a massive, fertile field for conspiracy theories to take root in. What we are and what we're told we should be are in incessant conflict and it's destroying all of us. There's reality as it is, and then there's what we make true by believing in it, and the latter is kudzu growing on our lives.

goddamnedtwisto posted:The subhead does say that it's unlikely. All of the mRNA vaccines are targeted on the "spike" of the virus, the bit that does the actual infecting - if that mutates too much then the virus loses some or all of it's ability to actually infect us. It's not *impossible* that it can mutate enough to both evade all of the current vaccines (which all, AFAIK, target different bits) and stay as virulent, but that's lottery-winning odds. The spike being what it is is a major factor in COVID being as dangerous as it is, though. Also that possibility has been explored and there's more backup plans for that problem than possibly any in the history of science. It'd just take starting testing from scratch.

Z the IVth posted:I wonder why the EU doesn't just drag it's feet and let Britain starve because of interminable customs queues. They can send peacekeepers and annex the choiciest parts after we descend into a rerun of 1990s Yugoslavia. Unironically because the EU knows it couldn't pull off letting children starve without a mass rebellion even in the right-winger ranks. Gotta remember, half of the right-wing wants to call themselves Christian.

So the government panicked about a PR backlash, told a ridiculous lie, everyone else went "better not take chances", and now the UK's cancelled Christmas and ensured there's a run on everything as shipments grind to a halt... before Brexit even happens? Is that really looking like the most likely scenario? This was never funny because people I care about are stuck in the middle. But even if it had been it would have gone to this being just sad by now. Well, by May. I don't know what this is.

Regarde Aduck posted:Considering there was always a chance this would end up like the flu where you have to get the vaccine every year I assume the logistical frameworks are going to remain in place so it's not like a complete restart. This depends on how short sighted different governments are being. Biggest danger is the pharma industry getting too greedy and making everything non-viable. Then we get deus ex and the vaccine turns into ambrosia. Why contain it? 's cool.

Keir clears him of all wrongdoing and drops about five percent.

knox_harrington posted:The 52% efficacy at the time of the second dose is because not enough time has elapsed since the patients who received the vaccine developed immunity. They don't show any longer term data on patients who got a single dose only. The COVID cases in the control group continue in a straight line, and the active vaccine group plateaus. I don't think it's unreasonable to call Blair an idiot who should shut up because he doesn't have nearly enough information to make a claim like that.

So the Brexit deal is Cameron's deal, except Frankfurt and Paris get the financial sector of London, UK no longer gets a seat at the EU table and Britain sacrificed a massive amount of money to the uncertainty?

Cerv posted:Johnson commanding a majority of +80 unlike May's minority of -20 does make it as good as impossible for parliament to do that. Also Keir has a lot of rich people behind him who want the deal to go through. Though Labour voting the deal down would permanently destroy the party, so maybe they'll vote against it anyway.

Kin posted:Depends on the things i got, but things like the meat i got will last until the end of Feb; pastas porridge and such until summer. Chest freezers sip power and are way more efficient than you'd think. Just make sure it has space to dissipate the heat produced by the cooling unit You can easily improve them with more insulation if you know what you're doing and don't mind them being a little wider.

stev posted:It's sort of an open secret when multiple techbro companies have admitted to selling location data. People think they can prevent that by turning off the GPS. Meanwhile the data from your modem can also be used to track you. If you can receive a call, the towers know where you are, which means the provider knows where you are, which means the government knows where you are.
