I know why they do it, that doesn't make their movies suck any less

Fail-Safe is amazing though. And I actually prefer that it's a computer glitch, that no individual causes everything to go bad, because the problem is the system

How fucking smart do you think 5 year olds are?

The argument here is actually that they didn't find Sars-CoV-2, but that their controls to test against got mixed up with their samples. It doesn't matter, really. My point is that this got political very fast and that now we may never know

“It’s like finding an iPhone in a pharaoh’s tomb,” says Worobey—you either have to rewrite history, or you have to consider the possibility that one of the archaeologists dropped their phone.

Well said, there's even a deeper layer: Ask the question "states' rights to do what?" (A: slavery). The same can be asked of the freedom convoy: "personal rights to do what?" (A: infect and kill others with a highly contagious and dangerous disease). Their exercise of personal rights in the way that some people did, should have been prosecuted as goddamn manslaughter. Same for covid denying government officials in many countries

Yeah, I think 'conclusively' disproven or proven anything is not realistic here. Lab leak has a lot of things going for it too. Here's just a recent example

A lot of things were wrong during covid. For example, I'm now convinced of the lab leak theory, having thought of it as a right wing conspiracy for too long. Polarized politics clouds our judgement on both sides. Yes, there were and are a lot of right wing loons, but that doesn't mean they were wrong about everything.

They never really protested any rights, they were doing a performative demonstration showing them to be a part of the conservative crowd.

None of them ever gave a fuck about not spreading a deadly disease. Fuck them

How about regulation? Let's start with saying data about me belongs to me, not to whoever collected the data, as is currently the case

 

This video shows how the Israeli hooligans misbehaved. Videos are being posted of what happened in Amsterdam between hooligans of Israeli football club Maccabi Tel Aviv and Amsterdam locals. Their later clashes with locals were widely reported, but nobody mentioned they were misbehaving already before that (they're football hooligans, after all) and that they had ample opportunity to go to their hotels or be escorted by police, but they chose to roam the city and pick fights. FAFO. Israels genocide surprisingly unpopular around the world, who would have thought

 
 

Voedingsmultinationals als Unilever en Heineken zijn tijdens de inflatiecrisis miljardenwinsten blijven boeken. Ook supermarkten leden niet al te veel pijn door de hoge prijzen. Die rekening kwam grotendeels bij de consument te liggen. De ceo’s van grote bedrijven zien verzachtende omstandigheden. ,,In crisistijd laat een bedrijf zijn echte gezicht zien”, stelt hoogleraar Karen Maas.
