Malaria is a mosquito-borne pathogen. You’re thinking of maltodextrin.

You can always trust SatansMaggotyCumFart to chime in with the wholesome memes.

Don’t threaten me with a good time

we have had the fifth amendment.

FTFY. Laws are only worth the paper they’re written on and the willingness of the executive to actually execute them. Here in the US, the latter is now missing, and the former isn’t for sale (yet, give them time to put it on the Russian black market)

It’s only paranoia if it’s unwarranted.

There is a word in ancient Greek which has the precise meaning “to entirely destroy” by fire. Maybe we need to start calling this what it is: a holocaust of Gaza.

He should have been more eloquent. I’m pretty sure there’s an ancient word that means “to entirely destroy by fire”… If he had used that instead, it would be more clear what he means.

It’s not even news anymore to see these shitty blood-glutted war criminals’ gloating, completely conveniently forgetting the hypocrisy. Perhaps we need to simply call this what it is, by this man’s very definition here: it is a holocaust of Gaza.

Ah yes! The famous three branches of abrahamic faith: Judaism, Islam, and America.

Technically, the legal term is Exile, IIRC. But doing that without the backing of legality is also what you said.

I would be interested to hear your take on the old manga/anime “Monster”.

In america doctors don’t take the Hippocratic oath anymore.. Doctors of medicine still take a modified version, but “Doctors of Osteopathy” take their own special oath where they have this wonderful little section which does a LOT of heavy lifting:

…to employ only those recognized methods of treatment consistent with good judgment and with my skill and ability, keeping in mind always nature’s laws and the body’s inherent capacity for recovery.

I will be ever vigilant in aiding in the general welfare of the community, sustaining its laws and institutions, not engaging in those practices which will in any way bring shame or discredit upon myself or my profession…

And, as I’m sure you can imagine, this leaves open to the interpretation of the reader what constitutes “natural law”, “good judgment”, the “general welfare of the community”, or “practices which will bring shame or discredit”.

Also, those Osteopaths, who are not even considered doctors in many international jurisdictions, still swear to hold to the principles of Osteopathy, a pseudoscientific quackery which says that anything your body needs to heal can be produced by your body. I’m sure you can guess how that relates to vaccines.

I was referring to his username, but hey, if it means no more fascism, July is a nice time of year.

I take it that you’d recommend a celebration on the 5th of November?

I’m sure he’d be very upset if he could read.

And also, apparently, Signal forks with security backdoors put in by former Israeli intelligence officers.

What a horrible day to be literate

Not relative to the sun, relative to momentum. Changes in the magnitude or direction of velocity are objective, not relative. These translate to real changes in momentum, from any reference frame. A real change in momentum is imparted upon the Earth roughly equal to your velocity relative to the earth multiplied by your mass at the moment your contact with the Earth ceases.

ETA: I do actually agree with your salient point above: that lifting an object is relative to a given “down”, and so it is meaningless to expect to be able to “lift” the most massive object in the universe.

Totally the wrong place in the thread, but I think just going to the Library, proving that you are from the future with some basic knowledge of chemistry, and telling them that they need a backup in the caves of the Sinai Desert would probably be my go-to. Give them some pointers on multi-millennium document storage.

That was less for you than for the people who come after, still ignorant of the crimes of Edison. A just world would not even remember Edison’s name.

and was inarguably the better inventor and thinker, since Edison was a plagiarist and marketer who made incremental changes to the designs of other people, and nothing more
