“The first thing I thought was, ‘What is she talking about?’” said Bryan Fish, the vice mayor of Culver City, whom everyone calls Bubba but doesn’t look like someone whom everyone calls Bubba. “The only crime here,” he added, “is like the $18 strawberry at Erewhon.”

I made a partial payment, but the rest of my rent needs to be paid off in one lump sum ASAP and I still need about $1,950 to cover just my rent. I’m really getting desperate and I don’t know what else to do. Any help and shares are appreciated!
January rent is past due and I also need some help to keep the lights on and pay me health insurance. Any amount helps and so do shares 💖

Taking an anti-vaccination stances against a treatment that saves the life of ONE IN FIVE HUNDRED KIDS and has no verified deaths involving healthy recipients is not just anti-science and anti-logic, it's evil. I have studied this disease too extensively to soften that word.
It's just evil.

It's easy to be concerned about vaccines when you stop being concerned about viruses. You can only stop being concerned about viruses in a world with vaccines.

One. In. Five. Hundred. Kids.
Those seem like good odds, but are they really? Especially when you add in making the surviving kids suddenly vulnerable to every other opportunistic germ coming down the road?

In real life, one in 500 kids who catches measles will die. And because measles is an asshole, some of them will die six to eight years later, of untreatable, incurable neurological conditions left as a parting gift by the virus.

But where measles has really excelled is in the PR department. See, it was a priority for vaccine development because it killed a lot of kids. So measles vaccines rolled out pretty early, and pretty universally as such things go.

Most viruses, you catch them, your immune system learns them, locks their details in the control room, and then you can fight them in the future. Measles not only doesn't leave you that data, it blows up the control room. No immune memory for YOU good DAY.

Many diseases, even airborne ones, will fall out of the air in a relatively short period of time. Measles goes for the gold standard, and can remain infectious in the air for HOURS. When there was a case at Disneyland several years ago, Mr. Toad's Wild Ride became a virus hotbox.

Measles is one of those nightmare diseases that, if it hadn't been killing people for hundreds of years, people would ABSOLUTELY be pushing conspiracy theories about right now. It's too nasty in too many different directions to seem natural. But oh, boy, it sure is.

Public comment on Dr Oz's proposed rules to ban gender-affirming care for youth closes 2/17
One rule bans hospital-based care, the other eliminates Medicaid/CHIP coverage
Together they'd make care virtually unavailable nationwide, including in shield law states

To give you an idea of how deranged the UK has become about gender stuff, here's Enid Blyton - the absolute avatar of classic English conservatism and a huge fan of racist "gollywogs" - casually describing a gender non-conforming kid in the 1940s and having their friends be totally cool with it.

If your response to this is to say "well I find it quite useful" then you might as well block me because if not, I'll be blocking you. AI is objectively terrible at almost everything its fanboys claim it to be good at.
This is a key problem with AI.
When you search for something weird using a standard web search, you get 0/limited/obviously wrong results.
If you have AI do it, it'll just make something up.

Essentially, it doesn't have an answer for whether you should walk or drive to a car wash, as it's not a commonly asked question (because it's stupid). Just like if you Google searched the question, you wouldn't find a good result because it's not a common question. 3/?

I disagree. Furthermore, the effect of a transphobic Democrat, especially one whose instinct is compromise with the right, gaining power would be to make transphobia *bipartisan.* This is not theory. This is what Labour has done and is doing right now.
