All these stories coming out about big crimes from the rich are awfully well timed. If I wanted a one time pass for something, I’d want to get convicted while there’s an easy to bribe cheeto king at the helm of the US.

This is nothing new, people expect religion not to be part of the “professional” environment. Dunno if VS code applies.

At the office (big corp) they don’t call it the “Christmas Party”, it’s “the holiday party”. They put lights and stuff up but no more Christmas trees/stars etc… not everyone celebrates christmas so that’s fine by me. If Microsoft wants to put a little santa hat on their product that’s fine by me too. If I was using some service based in Mexico and they put a little hat on a product for cinco de mayo i wouldn’t care. Christmas has other implications so it might be different, dunno

See youre conflating 2 things again, assuming everyone’s mad probably.

All those stats are correct, so how could it possibly be that I would say such lies? I must be wrong, how weird.

You’re forgetting there are other people in this thread, and someone did misquote it in their argument. Talk about retcon, which you spend 0 minutes explaining but made up half your earlier argument.

The numbers aren’t even important. This is not a first time cancer breakthrough, this is a HPV awareness article with a sensationalized title. Nobody was arguing the numbers.

Big businesses know, they even ask people like me to add extra measures in place. I like to call it the concorde effect. Youre trying to make a plane that can shove air out of the way faster than it wants to move, and this takes an enormous amount of energy that isn’t worth the time save, or the cost. Even if you have higher airspeed when it works, if your plane doesn’t make it to destination it isn’t “faster”.

We hear a lot about the downsides of AI, except that doesn’t fit the big corpo narrative and people don’t care enough really. If youre just a consumer who has no idea how this really works, the investments companiess make into shoving it everywhere makes it seem like it’s not a problem and it looks like there’s only AI hype and no party poopers.

All this relies on retcon, which makes no sense. Easy to just say it in your corner though. I did read the article, but that doesn’t fit your narrative. You also had to add that i’m “mad” so it spins your way, when it’s others having to attack me direcly instead of making points. Nothing about my comment implies i’m mad except you spinning it that way.

Youre defending people who are saying the article says 94% of these can be avoided, when the article says 94% of cancers occur in those countries.please

Edit: *94% of cancer deaths, wouldn’t wanna “retcon my whole argument”. This is a bad title for a different problem. We haven’t even started with it “being the first time”. Youre trying to convince us other people are mad too, go figure.

Within “cervical cancer” theres are many types, in case you didn’t know, bruh.

People who get “lung cancer” can get various forms. The article isn’t taking about eliminating cervical cancer entirely, not even the one caused by HPV.

Which if you hadnt read, the article is arguing these deaths are mostly preventable in poorer countries as HPV has had a long awareness (and effective) campaign already, it’s not even primarily about cancer. The headline sucks.

OP already made that joke.

Imo that only feels good when it’s someone who actively causes harm with their stupidy and they finally get justice. In this case I consider it to be more sad than anything else; it’s a function of his upbringing, not who he is.

I do understand that this helps eliminate some of the variants. That’s not what the headline is saying.

Why not make it an article about HPV that would help with cervical cancer instead of a cancer article about HPV? Because clicks. It still wouldn’t eliminate 94, or 99% of cervical cancers, only HPV ones… Eliminate HPV doesn’t sound as good, we can’t even eliminate measles.

It says 94% of cancers occur in those countries. That’s a far cry from what youre implying.

Edit: I wouldn’t call bitching about cancer titles being blown of out proportion “contrarian” either

Lmao, HPV is not the only way you get cervical cancer. “Elimination of a cancer” is just not true. Maybe one specific type of cervical cancer.

It’s like saying we can cure colon cancer if we just stopped eating at McDonald’s. It’s simply not true.

I didn’t use the word “cure” in my comment.

Edit: Lmao was for the dwight level “Wrong” like youre unidan or something.

She’s not saying she thinks it true, it’s a bit worse than that imo. She’s saying “many other people say it’s true” which I have never heard before. Mignt just be me, but the people who say that are often people who intend to discriminate based on their personal beliefs.

“a cancer” is not one thing, so you can tell the headline is full of shit already, even within the same organs the cancers are different.

This is about cervical cancer, which we can help avoid by avoiding things known to cause it, like preventing HPV with HPV vaccines. This isn’t eliminating cancer in any way, at best preventing it

He lives out in the sticks, I can’t undo 15 years of skipping out on education (he’s 38).

I do argue it in moderation, but I prefer to tackle critical thinking in general, and hope he learns to draw his own conclusions. He recently got over that the earth is not flat and that those conspiracies don’t hold water. He’s even starting to identify content on tiktok that is framed in a certain way.

Maybe we’ll get there one day!

Edit: Tbf he’s a mechanic, and a good one at that, so flat earth was an easy topic. He managed to understand we can’t make oldschool carburators with flat earth physics, and he knows how those work. It’s like if I tried to convince him displacement in an engine isn’t real, just invented by big oil.

Nobody said that. People who aren’t democrats say that, or people excusing their third party vote say that. Youre repeating fox news talking points that are essentially whataboutism.

Genocide is a US warmachine thing no matter the political party. If there was a chance for a change, it sure as shit wasn’t with dony moscow.

Youre mistaking NSFL and NSFW.

I wouldn’t open any baby bum at work with my boss beside me.

You can do all those things, and even in this racists world there are plenty of other people who don’t treat you like that. It’s not your face, it’s systemic racism. They say the same thing about other groups they don’t like.

This sounds like a select group (that you may be around often). Most people give zero shits about your face and have their own problems to think about, but some work really hard at making it seem like it’s everywhere.

Edit: I expected this to be unpopular, my point mostly being

Can’t thank anyone for a gift. Every holiday, I was “ungrateful” for everything.

Given this 100% rate of being “bitch face” with no nuance, you have to leave room for the fact you might have been wrong at least once. “Bitch face” is a thing and it’s not just pointed at black people (or black women). They want you to feel like that though.

Beats thoughts and prayers…

Yesterday my buddy who barely works and doesn’t do overtime said: “poivrière said he would reduces taxes on overtime, I want that - why wouldn’t I vote for him?” I don’t blame my buddy, and we avoid discussing politics, but these people are short-sighted and cannot be saved.

Too bad he has a russian asset at the helm of the US to get him out of it.

It’s not “for some reason”. Dental was covered or heavily subsidized in Canada at least to 18 years old, until the conservative goverment convinced idiots only poor people without jobs need dental care. “If you work, youll have dental”, and now they take it from our total compensation.

I have teeth and mental health covered through my employer, which sadly doesn’t fit all situations that need dental and mental health (hence why tying insurance to employers is stupid).

I got a lot of teeth work done in the UK while I lived there on a Visa, and it cost almost nothing without employers insurance.

People complain about the american healthcare system because it’s an oligarchy and oligarchs in other countries are trying to do the same. US just showed them with enough money and lies you can get there.

And the genocide just worsens, with another soon in Ukraine
