Well… OK then

Ooh ooh, I’m ACCUSED!

Ok, chill the fuck out. First of all, my comment was not directed at you personally, but speaking just generally— unless you happen to be one of the asshole medical professionals telling people not to get vaccinated, in which case: fuck you

I am well aware of the fuckuppery of medical access in the world as a whole and the US in particular.

Then where are we having this conversation?

You made the claim that it’s people’s unhealthy CHOICES that lead to their illness and early deaths, and he’s the obvious counterargument to that.

I also extensively discussed the issue of people‘s lack of access to vaccines and how Trump exploded the economic issue that causes this issue for now 8 million more Americans - mostly children - in the last six months alone due to recent funding cuts, but thank you very much for ignoring that fact…

Any other dumb shit you wanna blame me for that is Trump’s fault?

But heaven forefend a billionaire have to pay taxes… perish the thought!

While nothing you say is technically untrue, it conveniently and very carefully sidesteps the point I was trying to make about choice in vaccination, to wit:

The people you’re discussing aren’t missing vaccinations out of choice, but the inability to get vaccinated due to lack of access. that’s hardly the same thing. that speaks to systemic issues which create an entirely new and endemic problem: allowing diseases to spread among populations based on the “haves” and the “have nots“— medical treatment based on class (or designation based on some defined “otherism”). Or, in other words: medical fascism.

And to not forthrightly acknowledge that that is not the crux of the issue is to either be incompetently blind to it, or to be actively complicit in the enactment of it as a collaborator.

And, yes, that is an accusation.

Ew

It’s part of the normal vaccine schedule in most developed countries. it’s not something that most adults actively seek out, but is simply recommended and taken as a matter of of course.

What I meant to say is that, unless you’re some kind of idiot who actively refuses it, then you’ve probably had it without realizing it. Active “health consciousness” isn’t necessarily a factor in the decision to take it, but, rather, a matter of routine.

According to the article, it was the first thing they checked.

But, apparently, there were also additional benefits for those who simply didn’t get shingles which remain unexplained.

That’s the interesting part

Oh, no argument there. I was just interested in the pathology.

It would seem that we are in a noir-fiction detective story

Oh? But why?

Several trials are under way that could provide more definitive evidence. The scientists are also investigating why the vaccine may help to protect cardiovascular health. One possibility is that shingles may increase the risk of heart and vascular diseases, and so the more effective vaccine reduces this risk. Alternatively, the vaccine could be having broader effects on the immune system that suppress inflammatory proteins.

Dr Hugo Pedder, a research fellow in statistical modelling at the University of Bristol who was not involved in the research, said: “A randomised trial would be the best way to confidently answer whether recombinant vaccines do provide the benefits seen here versus live vaccines, but until such a trial is done this study provides some of the best-quality observational evidence supporting an effect of recombinant v live vaccines for cardiovascular outcomes.”

OK, so they don’t really know. At least they are pretty upfront about saying so.

Still, a pretty cool discovery.

This makes me sad

I will say that excel has always been a solid product, but I haven’t used it since Office for Mac 2004, which was a solid product. PowerPoint was also pretty good, back in the day. I hated Lotus 123, but I really do miss Lotus Notes. that was the preferred method of logging calls when I worked at Dell tech-support, and it was awesome.

But I am primarily a designer, so as someone who heavily relied on professional page layout tools like Quark and, later, Adobe InDesign, so I have a special burning place in my heart for Microsoft Word— or, rather, what it became.

I could handle word 6.0, but after that, it was just a monster.

Oh, and fuck outlook.

I’d rather like Apple’s Pages app. Simple, clean, and purely functional.

Both Plex and Kodi are forks of the original XBMC. Its legacy lives on.

The Windows Phone tile interface was quite interesting from a conceptual UX and aesthetic standpoint, but Microsoft didn’t implement it very well, and the software itself had some serious issues, both in performance and from an architectural perspective. Then, of course, was the lack of app support, while developers rushed to support the iPhone.

Which is ironic because towards the end of the 90s is when Microsoft had the only 4 products of theirs that were any good:

• Windows NT 5 (honorable mention to NT 4)
• Microsoft ergonomic keyboard
• Microsoft USB 2.0 ergonomic mouse with scroll wheel
• Microsoft flight simulator

I can’t recall them ever producing anything else of value

That’s an excellent example

I do get ATHF, but I do not get SpongeBob

Lmao

Weird— I can’t see your comment

As a gen-xer, I just don’t get a lot of millennial humor.
