“Falsehood flies, and truth comes limping after it, so that when men come to be undeceived, it is too late; the jest is over, and the tale hath had its effect: […] like a physician, who hath found out an infallible medicine, after the patient is dead.” —Jonathan Swift
Sure thing, OP. Good luck with that. I’m glad you’ve wisely decided, as normal whistleblowers do, to create a Lemmy account yesterday called “ElonMuskLovesIsrael” so you can shitpost about how you hate American liberals between bouts of publicly agonizing over whether to blow the whistle on nondescript crimes of the US federal government.
OP, are you baiting upvotes, or are you experiencing some sort of problem with mental illness? The latter is meant to be a sincere question.
Story posted earlier. Different article; same story.
(Means “long wings”, FYI; “penna” means “wing” in Latin.)
Indeed, and needs to be reserved for creating the next generation of hosts for the woke mind virus and/or being aborted (but it’s cool if they don’t want to; it’s their body).
The alleged Reddit reaction is the only one actually mirroring the virology community. Good job, Reddit amalgam someone made up.
I appreciate that the milking room is next to the vegan kitchen. Human breastmilk given with consent is vegan, so line up those Antifa milkers for a mouthwatering, very throwable milkshake.
None.
ALL the bullshit we deal with today can pretty much be directly attributed to this ass clown.
Is wishful, conspiratorial thinking designed to simplify a staggeringly complex and scary world into one where a great, singularizing evil has caused all of this.
I’m probably going to have to keep bringing this up given Lemmy’s appalling tendency toward unsubstantiated “contradictory evidence is only evidence of how deep the conspiracy goes!!” thinking (see: this one, where evidence that it’s Epstein’s writing is actually evidence that they trained an LLM on Epstein’s writing, roping anti-AI into it too*), but Dan Olson’s video essay “In Search Of A Flat Earth” discusses this kind of simplifying thinking to a T when describing QAnon.
There was a now-removed post earlier on /c/politics with like a 45:5 upvote ratio from some random dipshit’s Substack claiming (with zero real substance or qualifications) to analyze the note and conclude that it was written by Donald Trump himself. The average Lemmy user, like most people on social media, are intellectually lazy idiots.
* Edit: I just want to point out that by 2019 standards, training and using an LLM to convincingly fake a suicide note from a specific person by compiling their previous correspondences and shoving them into an LSTM or a relatively new transformer model would be vastly more difficult (intellectually and effort-wise, and probably with worse results) than just fucking reading some of the previous correspondences and deliberately throwing in some writing quirks. That may not be what happened, but if you’re going to believe it wasn’t Epstein’s writing, don’t be a total fucking moron about it: at least believe something vaguely plausible.

hey its me the teriyaki vegetable lo mein inspector
inspection checks out; looks delicious
Because we need to simplify the world until a single person is solely responsible for all of our problems. Complexity feels bad and scary, and we don’t like that.
Straight-up reminds me of Dan Olsen’s video about fucking QAnon disguised as a Flat Earth video. “Donald Trump personally wrote Jeffrey Epstein’s suicide note” is baseless QAnon-level shit that people upvoting will justify with “but other crazy things are happening, so I don’t have to ground anything I believe in reality anymore.”
I read this as “a really good idea” and still kind of agreed.
“Finch Babies” being the title of of an ill-conceived, never-aired 1980s children’s animated TV show based on To Kill A Mockingbird.
My Mom’s a pediatric oncology nurse and she said
Dude, I’m sorry; it’s not the same thing. Virologists were freaking the fuck out about COVID-19. Your mom being qualified to nurse children with cancer does not qualify her literally at all to give a prediction on the virology of an emergent outbreak. You may as well have said she was a vet tech.
If you’d read it, you would know:
At this early stage of the investigation with limited available information, we consider everyone on the ship to be close contacts, due to the closed setting and shared social areas and activities, aligned with the precautionary principle.
If a cruise ship is close and personal, a fuselage is obviously close and personal. The virologists are taking this into account; you’re not going to have any considerations they haven’t already thought of with 1000x more expertise and scrutiny.
Care to share with the class? Is the Lügenpresse in the room with us right now? I just linked to “the press” who were pushing that WHO quote around.
you don’t have the ability to control what I chose to read, sorry.
What does the word “please” mean to you? It’s a well-informed suggestion, and you were always free to ignore it.
As for the quote “very complicated and required extended intimacy”, can you point me to where the WHO has said that regarding this outbreak? Neither your article nor mine says those exact words.
The idea of human-to-human transmission is not some kind of fringe media panic. The World Health Organization has acknowledged that it could be human-to-human.
“We do believe that there may be some human-to-human transmission that’s happening among the really close contacts, the husband and wife, people who have shared cabins,” Maria Van Kerkhove, the director of epidemic and pandemic preparedness and prevention at the WHO, told reporters in Geneva.
It’s just that the spread would likely be limited, unlike COVID which is highly transmissible.
OP isn’t evidently in a healthy state of mind. They just took down(?) a second NoStupidQuestions post stating they had an NDA keeping them from whistleblowing on crimes of the US federal government and needed advice.
