@coolboymew @thenewoil @Anonagon I haven't used the official Youtube front-end in years, so I don't even know what kind of ads are on it anymore. But I think sponsorships are even more cancerous than ads. Seeing the creators themselves outright endorsing shit like VPNs that are confirmed honeypots or some microtransaction-heavy mobile game is outright cancerous.
I can't even be baffled, it's more hilarious than anything.

Blame the media and blame the government, but also blame the public for being unwilling to think for themselves.
Very sad indeed.
@lelouchebag There’s nothing to even show any of these vaccines are even effective. When cruise ships go back into operation is where we’ll see the results: if infections still spread with the same veracity as prior to vaccinations (they are mandatory on cruise ships now) .. they might just try to blame people they claim faked their vaccine passports too.
Your scenario is possible too. Just look at what happens with Polio vaccines. It hasn’t been eliminated, despite the same efforts put into it as was Small Pox. The wrong vaccine type for Polio in the wrong region can lead to outbreaks.
Immune enhancement syndrome and dependency are possibilities. Without long term animal reproductive studies, so is a real Children of Men situation. I’m sure they’ll find some way to blame the virus instead of the vaccine.
@djsumdog @Ricotta I'm no expert on the history of Microsoft, but from what I've heard Paul Allen was probably more involved than Bill Gates and Bill just took all the credit. It's just another Steve Jobs/Steve Wozniak situation.
I wasn't even born yet at the time but I was told that had Commodore adopted the same business model as IBM/Microsoft (license their Amiga OS and architecture to other computer manufacturers), Microsoft would probably have never become a monopoly.
@djsumdog @CommonSay @Ricotta Well, according to the TED Talk Bill Gates did back in 2010, he implied that he wanted to lower the population by 10-15% by 2050.
No mask mandate diary
@beardalaxy My state lifted ours. The only businesses I know that don't require masks are gas stations. My college campus still requires masks. I sincerely hope they don't start requiring the "vaccine", but all other immunization requirements only apply to those living on campus which I don't.
@coolboymew These adverse effects aren't linked to the virus itself though. And we still don't know how it affects fertility, and it will take several months for us to know for sure.
If you are going to get it, all I can say is get the Johnson & Johnson or Novavax (supposedly they use stuff that's already been on the market instead of this weird mRNA shit), but there was recently a case with the J&J where some guy got his skin peeled off. Supposedly it's very rare, but I would just wait a few months.
