One day an honest argument might be made, just not today
And the 'The only arguments against 230 are dishonest ones' streak continues, at this point you might as well call it a scientific theory right alongside gravity and evolution it's been tested and confirmed so often.
Assuming I'm reading that correctly is sounds like anti-vaxxers are almost single-handedly responsible for keeping polio alive in the modern day, and bloody hell what an 'accomplishment' if that's the case.
'Bullets are harmless!' said the person wearing several vests
I never thought I'd say the following words and probably would have bet good money on never doing so but maybe they should consider if Trump knows something they don't...
That aside that is just priceless and thanks for sharing, Trump turned Covid political and threw his cultists under the bus and they're throwing fits that he's not getting under the wheels with them, who ever could have seen that coming?
Re: Re: Funny how often that argument's been used lately
Admittedly I'm looking at it from a non-lawyer perspective but it seems like that bar might not be so out of reach this time around, with Fox apparently ignoring any and all sources up to and including the Trump DOJ that might have contradicted their claims of voter fraud.
Facebook seems to be ruining the day/week/month of a bunch of terrible companies without engaging in any notable terrible behavior of their own so at the moment at least they would seem to be acting on the side of good. Give 'em a day or so though and I'm sure they'll faceplant and give people another reason to rake them over the coals.
Re: Re: 'I have a RIGHT to put your life at risk without consequ
Nothing like a disaster to allow people to take off their masks and show who they really are, for good and ill, it's just a pity that while countless people have stepped up and shown the ability for self-sacrifice and a willingness to put their lives on the line for others so many others have turned out to be sociopathic self-centered children cosplaying as adults.
Over 300 young athletes have just collapsed after a COVID jab. It's not at all like prior vaccination.
First and foremost [Citation Needed], but setting that aside for a moment 300 out of how many that have been vaccinated so far, other than 'collapsing' what other symptoms if any have they shown, has their been an investigation positively linking the two and how does three hundred people 'collapsing' compare to rates of infections and deaths before and after vaccination was rolled out?
Sometimes a company screws up in making a batch of medicine, the proper response to that is to go over what they got wrong to make sure it doesn't happen again not act like the medicine as a whole is tainted by association unless of course that's the entire point of raising that objection..
'I have a RIGHT to put your life at risk without consequence!'
I've heard so often how telling people that they either get vaccinated or there might be consequences like sane people not wanting them around is a violation of the rights of the would-be plague rats but unless the 'violation' in question is a violation of the right to put the lives of everyone around you without consequences, something which does not exist, then I'm likewise baffled exactly how someone's rights are being threatened or infringed.
'You can't take that, that's one of our favorite perks!'
It is just all sorts of sickening that 'judge doesn't immediately rule in favor of police having the right to destroy whatever they want while on the clock' is both noteworthy and a positive development, however I'm sure that even seeing the potential for the ruling not going their way is going to have the city scrambling to settle as quickly as possible.
You can't have a legal ruling that the police aren't allowed to destroy whatever the hell they want after all, that would take all the fun out of it and force them to either act like responsible adults for once or face the dreaded Personal Consequences should that prove to be too difficult a task for them to manage.
'I've decided in good faith I deserve all of your money.'
Moderna disagrees. In a July filing with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the company said it had “reached the good-faith determination that these individuals did not co-invent” the component in question. Its application for the patent, which has not yet been issued, names several of its own employees as the sole inventors.
Bloody hell are they trying to kill as many people as the vaccine might have saved with the weaponized dishonesty they are bringing to the table? 'We have engaged in a good faith discussion with ourselves and decided that we really deserve all the profits and credit.'
Sure Moderna, I'm sure that decision was made in good faith and not at all impacted by the money you stand to gain from it.
To solve a problem first you need to admit it exists
Unfortunately actually addressing the problem(and namely why it's still a problem) would involve making some very heavy political donors very unhappy as step one would require admitting that maybe it's not in the public's best interest for the current major ISPs to have near if not actual monopoly positions in the various markets they are dominating, with step two funding or even just allowing alternatives to provide some much needed competition rather.
Politically it makes far more sense to keep that willful ignorance alive(and the political donations that stem from it) and stick to the position that the real issue is that not enough money has been thrown at problem, which is likely what that's exactly what keeps happening.
Re: Re: Re: Funny how often that argument's been used lately
To be fair they did walk back their comment after doing a bit more digging into why I was able to post before the article went up, something that's all too rare online.
No worries, I imagine at some point some official will make a vague statement about how concerned they are with the integrity of the legal profession and field and hand out some stern finger wagging before going back to looking the other way.
I always get a laugh when an official comes out talking about how vital it is to protect the integrity and trust in the legal system from those that would tarnish and undermine it respectively, and how that is of great concern to them despite all the evidence to the contrary.
As for NSO, it continues to claim it's being unfairly punished for the actions of its customers, stating that it values "ethics over revenues" and only sells malware for the purpose of preventing terrorism and serious crime.
Ah NSO, gaslighting the entire world in the desperate hope that if you just claim that the house is standing enough times no-one will pay attention to the fact that it's on fire and smashed into a million pieces right behind you.
