You nailed it. Cargo cult PR.
It doesn't matter the circumstances. It doesn't matter which side of the incident your guy was on. You roll out the same actors, you put on the same performance, and the same people buy tickets.
They're acting like he's the victim because for decades, acting like the victim has worked. And the people watching can't tell the difference because they don't think. They only consume media and this has all the trappings of the last show.
Am I to remain hesitant and unsure forever?
Yes and no. IMHO, the ideal is to not hesitate and continue to act based on what you think you know. But also make a habit of questioning how you came to know what you know. If you come across a piece of "common knowledge," especially about history, that you realize you actually picked up from a lifetime of it being a trope in pop-media, correct it or at least revise your certainty around the point. Then continue acting without hesitation.
If you think you're uniquely immune to propaganda, you're probably a great target for it. Willingness to re-evaluate positions that you strongly held is the thing that counters it. And re-evaluate doesn't mean you change your position. It just means tracing the steps you took to get there instead of being dogmatic about it.
I'm no expert, but the key issue with cancers is that the body can't recognize them as a threat because the cells are its own. In theory, if there were some material that could train the immune system to recognize the existing cancer cells, it would fit the definition of a therapeutic vaccine.
I agree with you that an mRNA treatment isn't a vaccine, it's gene therapy. But on paper, a cancer "cure" using a traditional vaccine mechanism could exist. You'd need to come with some antigen that got it to go after the cancer.
If you were interested in proving the poster wrong, you could have just mentioned that HPV is linked to certain cancers. It's true and commonly known. If they doubted it, they can check for themselves.
Instead you posted AI spam that we're going to completely ignore.
The funny part is you and it are still completely wrong. Gizortnik said that cancers aren't viruses. You said "cancers are related to virii." You changed the claim to give an answer, that wasn't even your own, that didn't refute anything he said.
ALSO "virii" is not not the plural of virus. Even in Latin, it wouldn't be virii.
Here, in case this helps you:
Copilot:
What is the plural of virus
The plural of "virus" is "viruses." Some people wonder if it should be "viri" or "virii," but those forms aren't correct in English.
"Viruses" is the standard and widely accepted plural form.
Is cancer a virus
Cancer itself is not a virus, but certain viruses can increase the risk of developing cancer.
If you actually wanted to contradict him, you'd want to focus on prophalactic vs. therapeutic vaccines, because vaccines aren't specifically preventative and aren't specifically for viruses.
Either that or they wanted the trip to take longer. If it's not just journalistic flair and they were using it to distance themselves and start over, a long bus ride vs. a few hours in a plane would be a good fit.
Or it would have been if the bus experience was that of the 1950s.
Haven't seen it. Won't see it.
Was it a case of the show being accidentally based?
If it's usually woke, they're probably trying make a point about, "the world not being able to handle their authentic selves and forcing them to play straight white male roles" or similar trash.
Reminds me of that one in Indiana. Perpetrator starts shooting in a mall with a rifle. Within 15 seconds, the most midwestern man you've ever seen pulls a Glock and hits him with 8 of 10 shots, starting at 40 yards.
Some guys just process adrenaline really well I guess.
Nobody is going to build those factories without an upset.
This is true but I don't know if it will work. There's a huge risk that companies view this as a comparison between:
- Invest a bunch of money in US factories that won't be operational until 2028 or later
- Do nothing different until 2028
The next 4 years are down for everyone regardless and then it's a question of if they thought these policies will outlast Trump. Practically, I think this is the kind of thing that has to be done at the start of a two-term span and winning that second election would be a bitch because voters are short-sighted and there'd be a deluge of globalist contributions to the opposition. Or it needs to be done through legislation that can't be undone day 1 of a new president.
If they think the tariffs will go away before the new production is on-line, there's not really financial pressure to invest.
Even AI-generated cp, since the AI would require the real thing to train on before it could generate convincing images.
I don't understand why people keep trying to use this logic.
I just asked an AI to show me a picture of a giraffe in a space suit. It complied successfully. I very much doubt it was trained on a gallery of giraffes in space suits.
- Punish anyone who harms children
- Don't let the government restrict what fictitious images, text, or audio can be created
Simple as. "Should we use X to Y" vs. "should we ban X being used for Y" presumes that the government has any business making a choice either way. Fuck off with that woman-brained appeal-to-authority false dichotomy.
It already is. But it's this Apple Store.
