  • Scientists wary of bird flu pandemic 'unfolding in slow motion'

    Jump

  • What do you think the odds are of us getting people who refuse to take the Covid vaccine to take the bird flu vaccine?Unvaccinated people become mutation factories and the disease mutates so that the vaccine is no longer effective, that's why it's important to have everyone vaccinated to prevent the outbreak from worsening.If only 1/2 of people get the vaccine, we're fucked.I firmly believe when it comes to serious medical issues like this, personal freedom of choice can just go fuck itself.You don't want to be vaccinated? Too bad, we'll tie you down and give it to you anyway.

  • Sex work would probably be less stigmatized in a currencyless society

    Jump

  • It wouldn't really be "sex work" if they weren't doing it in exchange for something would it?Yes, we have currency as a placeholder for trading goods directly but people who perform sex acts for other goods like drugs are just as stigmatized and no currency was involved.And if people are just having sex with a fun of it then it's not sex work either, it's just sex, which is less stigmatized now then it was 30 years ago but it still has a stigma attached to it, otherwise slurs like "skank" and "slut" wouldn't exist.

  • Gathered at Camp David, Biden's family tells him to stay in the race and keep fighting

    Jump

  • I understand I'm voting for Kamala Harris with my vote for Biden, but I don't think she could beat Trump.There's a lot of independents still on the fence between Trump and Biden (for some reason) and I think that anyone who's even entertaining the idea of voting for Donald Trump would never vote for a woman of color.So, unfortunately because we're so late in the election year, I think we'll have to vote for the old white guy to keep the old white felon out of the Whitehouse.The only silver lining to all of this is that they'll probably both be dead before the next election and we can firmly remember to take age into account in the next primary if Biden wins.If Trump wins there won't ever be another primary or general election and I think a lot of people lose focus on that because Biden is 2½ years older than Trump.

  • Several US military bases in Europe on heightened alert amid possible terrorist threat

  • World war II wasn't called "world war II" until 1944, future events will dictate weather we're already living in the early war.There are Russian, North Korean, and Iranian troops fighting in UkraineThere's conflict in the Middle East between Israel and PalestineChina is playing a game of brinkmanship with Taiwan and The Philippines.If things heat up, future historians may place the beginning of world war 3 on the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

  • Do animals have emotions like us?

  • Yes

  • IRS plans to make its free tax filing program permanent

  • 78% of Americans make what you call "destitute wages" and live paycheck to paycheck on W2 income.

  • Biden admits to taking drugs before the debate.

    Jump

  • They had a primary, did everyone suddenly forget all the Palestine protesters that abstained from voting for Biden in the primary?

  • Pyongyang Says It Will Send Support Troops to Ukraine Within a Month

    Jump

  • They didn't start calling WWII what it is until 1944, but I think we can all agree it didn't start in 1944.Just like later historians placed the start of WWII on multiple different events depending on which country you're in, the start of World War III will be long before we start calling it that.I'm in the camp that the start of WW3 will be the Russian invasion of Ukraine if things continue to escalate the way they're going, because that's when you really started seeing lines being drawn between the axis and allies.Russia, China, Iran, and NK are the most recognizable names that have aligned themselves with the axis so far.The lines are already drawn and future events will dictate whether or not we're currently living in WW3 today.

  • An $18 Big Mac meal sparked a revolt against high prices. Companies are finally listening

    Jump

  • I would admit I used to get McDonald's quite a bit for lunch because it was pretty cheap. But, where I live a Big Mac meal is on average about $16 right now and I can get a burrito bowl from Chipotle with a drink for $13.I'm not saying Chipotle is high quality food but I don't think anyone's going to argue it's not better quality than McDonald's, so why on earth would I pay more for McDonald's?They overreached on their price gouging and now they're just trying to backpedal because they're losing money.

  • Russian space control center in Crimea struck by Ukrainian ATACMS missiles

  • Well it's Russian infrastructure on Ukrainian land, who cares what it's for?

  • I'm pretty sure that's supposed to be a juice box

  • Dell said return to the office or else—nearly half of workers chose “or else”

    Jump

  • The point is, enough of them said No that they didn't have a choice but to let them do it.Imagine what they could have done with an actual union to organize and coordinate their efforts.

  • US signals that it has expanded policy to allow Ukraine to counterstrike into Russia

    Jump

  • About 3 years too late.

  • Not likely, considering the last few times it happened it didn't. This is the first time it's happened since the 1980s, not the first time it's happened.

  • Putin warns South Korea: Sending killer weapons to Ukraine would be a ‘big mistake’

    Jump

  • I'm sure China would be thrilled if Russia started WWIII on their border.But let's be honest though, world war III started 3 years ago and as of right now there are currently 9 more active conflicts going on worldwide than the peak of world war II, but no one is going to call it a world war until the superpowers are in direct conflict with each other.

  • The world is running out of soldiers

  • Didn't stop them in Viet Nam

  • Two astronauts wait to come home as Boeing races to understand spacecraft issues

    Jump

  • After a half decade of delays and several major issues, including it spinning out of control in space on it's first test flight, and all the issues with literally anything else Boeing touches, I can't see how they talked them into getting in it in the first place.I'm pretty sure it hasn't had a single fully successfully test flight yet so I'm surprised even NASA allowed it.

  • EU delays decision over scanning encrypted messages for CSAM

    Jump

  • While I agree the spread of CSAM needs to be stopped, we can't violate everyone's privacy in the effort to do it.And are actual people going to be reviewing these messages or are we just going to blindly trust AI not to flag innocent people on accident?

  • They won't stop then they're out, they'll just draft people who didn't sign up for this shit and force them to fight to the death.
