That’s the brilliant part.

They were led to believe the government could go after them physically, and that’s what they’re looking for, while they steal their healthcare and education and infrastructure, while deporting the cheap labor they were exploiting in their farms and depriving them of income.

They’re tightly watching their front door, ready to shoot the first person getting close to it, while the rest of their house is being robbed blind…

Ah I missed that, sorry. But that’s hilarious, I can imagine the Republican-level mental gymnastics that many democrats are now required to pull off so they can still support Cuomo.

By this point, the world is like that, eagerly watching if the guy can upset such a corrupt, biased system.

So he will definitely be the democratic nominee, right? And now he’s going against a republican in the general election? When is it?

Not German, but close enough - there’s usually at least one bus within walkable distance, even if it’s only like 4 times a day or something, that connects to a larger hub.

I lived in a place where I had to be by the bus stop at 7h30. If I missed that I’d have to wait for the next at 8h15, and if I missed that one, I’d better call to say I wasn’t able to go that day.

However, in smaller towns and in the countryside, with no cars, life is so different to the frenetic chaos of big cities that it’s hard to put into words.

For science?

You’re still thinking in a context where the earth is travelling around the sun, etc etc.

If you assume the Earth as the reference point, then that is fixed, absolutely frozen, doesn’t move at all. That’s point zero.

You cannot calculate where the earth is. What you do is calculate where everything else, the universe itself and even other dimensions, are with regards to your fixed point.

This can feel counterintuitive, but here’s a random visualization: https://youtube.com/shorts/UZyuZVvCE78

Note that, in that video, only the perspective has changed. The solar system is moving as usual.

This.

Also, upgrade to Linux.

You’re not very good at this…

The idiot digs deeper, and shows his true colours. Asinine.

No. We get exactly what his comment is about.

If he was in the renewables camp, there would be no point, in this discussion over solar, to bring up nuclear. It’s absolutely unrelated.

What he’s doing is pushing the thought into people’s heads that nuclear is a good solution, and that’s why I’m calling him out for. For being a shill.

No. I type less.

How idiotic.

They’re getting indoctrinated by the fox news and qanon groups or sovcits or whoever gets to them first. It’s not a question of if they get indoctrinated, but by whom.

Some will actually be capable of realising it and break free, but then you have the one actively opting into it.

At least the churches have discernable objectives, unlike many other groups operating in the cesspits of the internet.

Meh. If social media served a purpose, to me, it was to show just how many dimwits are out there who will beg for someone to tell them what to do and how to act and what to think.

You can take religion from them, but they won’t stop being gullible and lost, and they’ll just fall prey to the next scumbag with no scruples that comes along, be it a politician or some other con artist.

The problem isn’t religion - it’s an excuse, a cover.

In my experience, releasing the clutch without adding throttle will only get you moving in a diesel car.

Gasoline engines will stall much faster, which is part of the reason learning vehicles are all diesel.

Keep at it.

Nothing really to it, you just need time and lots of practice to build up the “muscle memory” for it, until it becomes little more than a reflex.

Actually, a Musk party might be the best thing that happens to the US political system.

Not because it would be a good party, but because it may lower the bar for more parties.

You know what cracks me up? That there’s a rather high likelihood that I know more about mRNA that you do. Ignorance is bliss I suppose.

If you are aware of a specific mechanism that this kind of treatment can go poorly

Alright, so here’s one a concern.
As you’re certainly aware, there are studies that have found that viral RNA can carry into the host’s nucleus and be reverse-transcribed into the infected cell’s genome (for your convenience, here’s one such finding for SARS-CoV-2 https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2105968118), and that it produces chimeric transcripts that fuse the viral and host sequences.
Can you address how an mRNA vaccine would be able to ensure that such reverse transcription would not occur?

Here’s another concern.
The Pfizer BNT162b2 COVID vaccine is, of course, a lipid nanoparticle (LNP) mRNA vaccine, which is basically the approach discussed in the OP article. This article (Curr. Issues Mol. Biol. 2022, 44(3), 1115-1126) found that BNT162b2 mRNA is reverse transcribed intracellularly into DNA in as fast as 6 h upon BNT162b2 exposure. Not only that, it has also found increased nuclear expression and distribution of LINE-1, an endogenous reverse transcriptase.
Since we previously covered the integration of foreign RNA into the host’s DNA, can you please explain how do you propose to identify and control for possible epigenetic effects of mRNA vaccines?

Seems like people found my zombie apocalypse parallel a bit too farfetched, but cancerous growth and tumors are in essence breakdowns of the genetic machinary in our cells, which mRNA vaccines are just too happy to mess with. All I’m advocating is more research, better understanding, and safety.

the researchers have shown for the first time that mRNA can be delivered into the cells where HIV is hiding, by encasing it in a tiny, specially formulated fat bubble. The mRNA then instructs the cells to reveal the virus.

Am I the only one kinda scared about mRNA treatments?

I have always wondered how a zombie apocalypse could come about, like, from a biochemical perspective, and mRNA seems to me a very good candidate.

Obviously it has a massive potential to cure otherwise incurable diseases, like genetic defects…

Edit: Sheesh thanks for the downvotes, teaches me to ask a question on Lemmy.

This, plus the office can come with some perks that might be useful to you or help you save some money - mine offers soup, bread and fruit, and also showers + deodorant (for people who like to cycle or jog to work).
