That is patently false. How we develop immunity has no bearing on the strength of immunity. All that is required is that we are exposed to the viral material (and only its shell is needed, as that is what our immune system responds to) in sufficient quantities to generate antibodies. Getting sick is in no way better.…

And sometimes protecting against the most prevalent strains isn’t as important as protecting against the most dangerous strains. A particular strain may be less virulent, but if it is more lethal than other strains, yeah, protect against that shit. So yeah, it may mean a vaccine that is overall less effective at…

That’s even more insidious than Calvinism, since it allows for someone putting only good into this world to still deserve pain and suffering because of something that a previous version of themselves may have done. At least Calvinists only purport that your deeds in this life directly affect your station, which is…

Because the best way to instill a respect for humanity is through violence, eh?

Ah, cool, thanks! I can see why that makes predicting ocean level changes exceedingly difficult, with both the ocean mass increasing, and the crust shape fluctuating.

You seem to have a background in this field, so I’m curious... obviously the total mass of the oceans+ice sheets hasn’t changed, although the overall force they exert on the earth’s surface may be minimally different as the liquid water sits closer to the earth’s center and thus weighs minimally more than ice at a…

Water intoxication is the second most common reason for MDMA associated deaths.

I spent far too long trying to make the apostrophes make sense in context, assuming (very incorrectly) that clearly something with errors so obvious (and repetitious) would never be published, let alone quoted without the requisite [sic].

“Making a salad naked and fell onto a cucumber” is a surprisingly common occurrence, assuming the patients are reliable narrators. ;)

Privacy accounts are totally valid. Honestly, I think the best solution would be to allow multiple accounts, but force players to link them, and only allow one account of the player’s choosing to count for official rankings. I don’t care if they allow all the other perks, but remove the punishment to other players.

But at least in your examples the player gets something they wouldn’t otherwise have. Aimbots give unearned kills, medals, and ultimately wins. Spoofing gives a user access to more game content than should be accessible to them. Multiple top 500 accounts doesn’t gain the player anything new.

You mean the sentence you included your block quote of this very article, which reads:

But staying warm and in cold weather does nothing to protect you from catching a virus. There are numerous reasons the cold virus spreads more rapidly in colder weather*, but it has nothing to do with the moistness or chilliness of the infected parties, making the advice to stay warm and dry not only incorrect, but…

Bring on human the microchipping! Imagine an unresponsive patient’s name, full medical history, and relevant documents available with just a quick scan. It doesn’t fix the problem of living wills/advance directives being legally wishy-washy, and easily overridden by panicked patients and families who are faced with…

What? Cranberry juice is delicious and pairs well with vodka.

And I don’t hear anyone speaking up to say that yes, in fact, he did murder them. If anyone here was murdered by the defendant, speak up! It’s a rock solid defense. Irrefutable, really.  

Ah, right. Nice talk.

If you’d bothered to read past the first line you’d have seen that past the hyperbole was an actual response. It doesn’t matter how polite and respectful someone has been to some people. When someone is called out for behaving badly, they are still accountable—even if they also frequently behave well. You can’t just…

Shall we excuse murderers because of all the people they met and didn’t even attempt to kill? Polite, respectful behavior towards one person (or even many people) does not negate impolite, disrespectful behavior towards another.

Find out whether or not a woman would like you to touch them BEFORE potentially assaulting them. And the number who feel uncomfortable is, I guarantee it, much higher than you think, because when someone you don’t know is already touching you without your consent, you don’t know what else they will do without your…
