The one $EMPLOYER IT guy that was really into #DOGEcoin has stopped his near-daily text messages after he sold all his holdings suddenly.
A few days before, he was confident that DOGE would pass $1.00 and possibly reach $2.00. -

There's a guy on another instance. Young. Assuming the avatar is really his face, I can't see anything wrong.
But he's an #incel, and proudly announces it ... between saying some horribly female-unfriendly things and then wondering why women don't want him, I can see (part of) the reason why.
But here's the thing: if you're involuntarily celibate, try to talk to people as friends. Maybe one of them will share what you're doing that prevents you from breaking your celibacy.
I honestly think that one of the biggest issues that incels have is that they wrap their identity around it and retreat to their incel-only online spaces. If they were willing to change and they talked to women (or men, as the case may be) as friends, someone would give them the information they need. -

Iceloops will have to learn to meet and talk to people in person, but depending on where he lives, he may have to move to a larger area, so there are more people that are compatible. -

> “Locally, domestically for China, they delayed action, but we have very little idea about what deterred quicker action – was it because, like the mayor said, the delay of the central government? Or really because of his delay?” says Xi Chen, an assistant professor at the Yale School of Public Health.
> “There was strong evidence of human-to-human transmission but they were not able to release this information in a timely way. I don’t know what happened then,” he says. “But people have died.”

This is one of the negatives about a permission-based (e.g., ask first before you do anything or you risk being punished) environment. It isn't just China's government that is permission-based. Some federal government agencies (and likely some state and local government agencies) are run in a similar manner. (I'm sure some corporations are likewise run in this manner, but I've not been in non-government employment in almost two decades.)
When some action needs to be taken, the people proximate to the situation are unwilling to act, because higher-ups have not instructed them to do so. -

I remember someone that I knew died of a mysterious pneumonia in the early 1980s. When his brother told me about it, he was astounded because the older brother (I'll call him "OB") was so young to have died that way.
It turned out that OB had been involved in gangs and drugs, had spent some time behind bars. He'd gotten out, gotten married, tried to avoid the gang life, but at some point, had been infected with a virus no one even knew existed yet.
It wasn't too long after that when I learned about #AIDS. -

I admit that it does bother me a little when experts are very sure of something that they have no way of knowing. It is okay to say that we do not really know where #SARS-CoV-2 came from and thus do not know how the #COVID-19 outbreak started.

> Aids, or acquired immune deficiency syndrome, was named as such in the United States in 1982 and in the following year the virus that causes it, HIV, was discovered, according to the non-profit Aids Institute in the US.
It wasn’t until 1999, or 17 years later, that a chimpanzee subspecies in Central Africa was named as the likely source of the virus, probably infecting humans who hunted it for meat and mutating into HIV within human hosts.
The earliest known case of infection was found in a blood sample taken from a man in 1959 in Kinshasa, in then-Belgian Congo, the institute says. It notes that it’s still not known how that man became infected, but Aids then spread across Africa for decades before finding its way to the US and other countries.
Twenty years of people dying mysteriously before it spread to a place where AIDS could be noticed. And that's just based on a blood sample that they could re-examine once the virus was discovered.
This is another big reason that universal healthcare is a necessity. If everyone is getting preventative and corrective care, medical authorities can observe clusters of symptoms arising and dispatch investigators to the scene. -

@vegosf05 I like the fact that the author does not say that #SARS-CoV-2 definitely came from either wildlife-to-human or laboratory-escape scenarios. Though it is clear which direction he leans, he plainly says there is no actual evidence of either one ... and that he thinks WTH origins should have left some evidence that is currently missing. -

Origin of Covid — Following the Clues
Kudos too to Robert Redfield, former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, who told CNN on March 26, 2021 that the “most likely” cause of the epidemic was “from a laboratory,” because he doubted that a bat virus could become an extreme human pathogen overnight, without taking time to evolve, as seemed to be the case with SARS2.

#sonTwo sent me a picture of #GS4 dressed up as Baby Yoda, taken on 2021-05-04 ( #Star_Wars_Day ). It took me a few minutes to figure it out. I kept wondering why the baby had big green fake ears. -

Carl O'donnell & Manas Mishra, "Moderna sees no impact on COVID-19 vaccine from potential patent waiver" https://gnusocial.cc/url/542777
« Moderna, which said in October it would not enforce patents on its vaccine during the pandemic, noted the lack of companies able to rapidly scale up complex manufacturing of a similar vaccine to meet surging global demand. »
[Has there been any boost in vaccine production due to Moderna's decision not to enforce its patent during the pandemic? I really doubt it.] -

On a larger screen, I could barely see the “space moth”, a small, light colored, non-flapping, low-mass object that did appear to hit one astronaut in the ear and bounce off.
If the flat earther scrutinized the video enough to notice the object’s motion, why did he stop there and not see the continued motion?
