The WHO has brokered a limited truce between Israel and Hamas in order to get Gazan children vaccinated. Is there something more sinister afoot?

_Self-replicating vaccines due to be rolled out next month in Japan could result in a worldwide disaster_
FTA: A replicon vaccine is a type of vaccine that uses a self-amplifying RNA as its antigenic component. Replicons are derived from viruses, such as alphaviruses.
There are 32 alphavirus species which infect various vertebrates, including humans, rodents, fish, birds and larger mammals, as well as invertebrates. Some are species-specific while others are not. Transmission between species and their vertebrate hosts, including humans, occurs mainly via mosquitoes.
The use of alphavirus-derived RNA technology in vaccines is where the danger lies. The man-made genes in the replicon vaccines, if introduced into humans, are likely to spread not only to other humans but also to other species.
In November 2023, Japan approved the use of the first self-amplifying mRNA (“saRNA”) vaccine against covid. The vaccine is called Kostaive and is also known as ARCT-154 or, in Vietnam, VBC-COV19-154. At the time of the approval, researchers were hopeful that this was only the beginning for saRNA treatments for infectious diseases and even cancers.
The difference between a covid mRNA vaccine and a covid saRNA vaccine is that with the former, a cell’s machinery produces the spike protein for as long as these instructions persist while the saRNA goes a step further. It integrates the genes needed for the replication and synthesis of the spike protein-encoding RNA, effectively establishing a biological printing press for fabricating the vaccine inside cells.

just testing out segmented walls. i can make them look prettier, they actually just look segmented because it helps me keep track of them while developing.
i currently like this approach of just removing the lower wall whenever a player is in a room where it would obstruct their view too much. they can only turn the camera about 50 degrees each way, so they'll never actually be able to see the bottom wall of a room anyway.
as much as i want to give players free control over the camera, rpg architect's camera doesn't have collision. because of that, it'll clip into walls. i don't want the player to have to deal with manually zooming in to see specific spots.
i was toying around with fixed camera angles too and i might use that for some key scenes. it's good to know it's an option but i'd also have to remove walls in some instances doing that anyway.

@xianc78 Been thinking about that too, a lot of people I know my age are now just settled in to doing nothing and sitting in front of the computer and getting high. They seem like they're really in a terrible place but that's what they want to do. And for some reason the suggestion to something fun outside of their home is abhorrent to them and elicits a bitter response. Like "I don't want to meet anyone, everyone's a scumbag, everyone sucks" whatever. And money definitely isn't an issue for them. When these people hit middle age it will hit them hard, because they'll realize they spent 20 adult years of freedom not doing anything interesting. And it sucks, lately I feel like I have to cut them out of my life or else I'll be sucked into that too.

The research, conducted by a team of international researchers, reveals that after decades of steady improvement, global academic freedom has begun to decline over the past decade.

Is this guy a real person? He never posts anything or replies to anyone, but he seems to favorite and repost everything I post or repost.
Just looking at his timeline, it's all reposts and most of it is either stuff I've posted or boosted. Though given that "lurker" is in his handle, maybe he just prefers to lurk and view other people's post.
If this guy is real, hopefully he doesn't get offended by me talking about him. I just don't like the feeling of being stalked by some bot.
@berkberkman I never understood the purpose of book clubs. Back in elementary school, our teachers encouraged us to form book clubs with our classmates, but I found the thing pointless because it was just everyone agreeing to read the same book and talk about our progress. I always hated it because I was scolded if I read past the "checkpoint" we were supposed to reach by next meeting.
@beardalaxy At least you are at the place. I used to work in fast-food when those events are held and said events brought people from across the region and by proxy people looking for something to eat afterward, so I had no chance of visiting.
@berkberkman People go to the library to study in a quiet place, not to socialize and connect with other people.
Most people who go to the library these days are high school and college students looking for a quiet place to study. They are probably living with other people and they have no control over the volume of their housemates/roommates. Either that, or they're homeless people looking for Internet access.

@xianc78 @j I think it's the low barrier of entry.
GMail and the big dogs, aside from working with the feds, also ask for everything. If you're going to do illegal shit, it's very easy to make a burner email with cockli/proton/similar. Proton users are outed by the recovery e-mail that they do keep on file as an example.

There are a lot of fucked up people online, but a better way of putting it is for those people the "no bad tactics" mindset really does hit hard. I mean, just look at the Torswats shit. These guys were literally swatting government officials for the thrill of it, in between swatting some random retard who was featured on a Jim stream.

@j I'm starting to think that there is a deliberate attempt to ruin every private email service using bomb threats and other illegal shit. Cock.li went invite-only for a while because of it and I've heard of other services resorting to either going invite-only, manually approved registrations, or shutting down entirely.
This is why we can't have nice things.
I am so fucking sick and tired of people complaining that modern society doesn't provide anything of leisure other than hyper-consumerism.
Bro, everywhere I go, whether it is a rural, suburban, or urban area there are festivals and other locally-held events taking place or are scheduled and many (if not most) of them are hosted on weekends so there is no excuse. Those are the perfect places to meet new people and bring culture to your life. Not everything has to be soulless. You're just way too afraid to get out of your comfort zone.
@iron_bug @bonifartius @shibao @scathach Just use baking soda like I do. It's much cheaper and a lot less toxic.
@j Just to let you know that registrations have been disabled for a while. I'm not sure if that is a result of the auto install or if it was a deliberate decision.

@PurpCat @realman543 @ceo_of_monoeye_dating @j I don't have any alts on other fedi instances except the now defunct freespeechextremist.com and I don't think I'll be making any new ones. After Baest shuts down I'm probably going to migrate entirely to Nostr. I already have a Nostr identity I rarely use so it will be time to start shitposting on it full time. I had been considering the idea of making my own instance but honestly everything I've seen related to the technical aspects of the fediverse makes me think the network was always fucked from the get go and there is no point in dealing with all of those issues myself.
@j Will this affect the other services that you are running?

Maybe... Makes games because you like games and want to share your passion? Not make them strictly for profit?
