This is one of those threads where you sometimes need to click on the replies to see all the replies beneath them. It is worth your time to do so. Every expert that I trust in the medical field has told me the same things - perhaps using different words.

You're totally, 100% on point. My dad (now retired) was an allergist/immunologist. He had nothing kind to say about anti-vaxxers. This isn't my professional field (I'm in computer science) but every expert I've talked to or read that I trust personally says pretty much the same things you do here.

Anyone who needs an antidote to that Brady Bunch episode is cordially invited to watch The Pitt's first eason, with special attention to the episode where they found a case of Measles.

Discord says hackers stole government IDs of 70,000 users As more sites require IDs for user age verification, expect more such breaches to come.

@discord.com Really, mandatory age verification globally even where it isn't required by law? did the data breach you ALREADY had not tell you this was a terrible idea?

If the only options I have are to scan my ID, scan my face, or lose functionality in the app, I'll find a new app.

Hard disagree w/ the conclusion.The system needs to be abolished. Absolutely does must not be consolidated so that 1 entity can control all that information and be a target for any hackers who want to abuse the info. Not to mention 1 entity making all the rules. And being "too big to fail".

Noah Wyle in the Pitt making a reference to leverage. Text reads: you realize i could be pulling a heist right now, yes? but no, i'm here, dealing with this shit, because of you. eliot could be getting annoyed by me right now while i wear a cool hat. but no. so make it worth it.

Sir Terry Pratchett is best understood as one of the most interesting, deeply ethical practical (I would say Pragmatist but I cede to actual experts) philosophers of the late 20th Century who just happened to work in deconstructed fantasy literature as his medium.

Spoiler Alert: The prophecy they're following isn't actually from Revelations. A good chunk of it is very modern by comparison - 1800s US origin. You'll notice that the Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, and even the "Mainline" Protestants don't believe this one. Only the Evangelical Christian Zionists.
