That it seems nobody wants to sell you anything anymore. Now, they want to rent you things. A car? TV? Fridge? A BBQ grill?...Everything has to be connected. Everything has to be "smart". Which means you have to open an account online and click ok on the "Terms and Conditions" page before you can use the thing you supposedly bought. You can't even fix it yourself if it breaks. And while you're using it, they collect data on every microsecond of use to sell to third parties.

The vaccines were released to the public barely a year ago. There is no way to know exactly how safe or effective they are, supposing they are. We just don't have the data yet. What we have, however, is an aggressive censorship of any information or person critical of the vaccines.

There is a big difference between Scientists and Political Activists with science degrees.

The Covid vaccine does not work by directly stimulating the immune system, like all other vaccines do. Instead, it inserts synthetic molecules into some cells, turning them into little machines that constantly produce a toxin that is released into the blood stream. The immune system is supposed to learn to fight this toxin. This has NEVER before been done in any other vaccine. We could speculate for hours about what could go wrong, but for the moment lets just say that myocarditis and blood clots are definitely NOT mild side effects.

Then again, those 1/500 are old age or with existing debilitating health conditions. The rest of the people have a close to zero chance of dying from Covid. It is not a great idea to expose them to that 1/17000 chance of getting an unnecessary heart condition that will affect them for life. And remember, myocarditis and blood clot issues are secondary effects we know about now. The vaccine was invented and released very recently and there is no way to know the long term effects. And don't forget, this vaccine works with a brand-new genetic technology never before released to the public.

I'm hearing violins reading this.

Coming soon to a country near you.

I thought he was going to say "they always start with 'in this video...', or 'today...'".

I would pay a premium for NOT having all the extra electronics --a computer that controls the computer of the computer, a large TV on the dash, a car that only the dealership can fix because they are the only ones who have the equipment to read the codes, everything by wire...I prefer a car that lets me stranded in the road for something I can usually figure out and repair myself, instead of a car that just stops running and has to be towed directly to the dealership for service.

Luck happens to everyone all the time. Whether it is good luck or bad luck, pretty much depends on what you do with it when it happens to you.

Remember that all we know are the immediate effects of the vaccine. The long term effects are not known, as this vaccine has been out a mere 7 or 8 months and is still on clinical trials.

1st place: Printed. Because nothing beats the printed page.

Close 2nd place: e-ink. But unfortunantely there doesn't seem to be in the market an e-ink device of a decent size and price.

Far down 3rd place: tablets, phones or any light emmitting display device, because if I must stare at a screen for hours I'd watch TV.

A special recognition to ebooks for having the unique advantage of allowing easy search of word definitions, highlighting, bookmarking, and for the access they provide to the super large library of free books out there.

I guess it's a good thing to have AP, youtube, CNN, etc. tell us that what we saw with our own eyes is not what we saw with our own eyes. That statistical impossibilities don't matter when the right candidate ends up winning. That asking questions is not allowed. I wish I could refer you to contrary views about the election, but as you've probably heard, anything different from the official version is banned for your own protection, like youtube banned Giuliani. Maybe you think this is a hurt right-winger writing, but believe me, it does not matter if your preferred candidate took the election or not, you must always demand clean elections. A government that is elected by means of fraud will not respect any of us, regardless of our ideals.

Giuliani can be all the crazy he wants to be. That still does not change the fact that the votes that gave Biden the election came by the hundreds of thousands, out of nowhere, after 400 AM, when the counting was supposedly stopped for no reason, long after all election observers and the press had been escorted out of the building...

Science is always inconclusive. Theories are not theorems; everything is open to questioning, no matter how much sense it seems to make. That is why science advances, to begin with. And yet, people are told (mostly by politicians with agendas) that they are supposed to "believe" science, which of course means to believe the latest a scientist said.

No, don't teach the young that they need to believe science. Teach them to question it, always. And to question it in a formal, disciplined and rational way, even if they agree with what is being said. Especially on issues like anthropogenic climate change, where the implied solution is to surrender individual freedoms to a omni-powerful faceless government that is supposed to protect us all.

To innovate you usually have to throw away something old that is still working well. That is not so easy to do. That is why innovation usually comes from those who don't have anything valuable they need to throw away.

This proves that when you make an ad mentioning the competitor's products, you have to do it right.

In any compromise between food and poison, it is only death that can win. In any compromise between good and evil, it is only evil that can profit.

Here's a tip that will make you look like a professional writer instantly: search your text for the words "actually" and "actual" and delete them all to hell. No need to revise anything, just delete them -they are useless and are on the way. Bonus tip to native English speakers (non-natives for some reason don't seem to make this mistake): don't use "then" where you should use "than". I also have a pet peeve with American women trying to talk an octave lower than their natural voice, but that'll be a comment for another article.

Giant corporations and the media, who used to encourage BLM and Antifa riots, are now openly using their power to humiliate and destroy their business competitors and political opposition. But who cares. Let's see what's new in Netflix.

It has NOT been debunked. What you have is the media constantly repeating that it has been debunked.

There are no legit/mainstream sites anymore, there are too many powerful political interests in play. What tries to pass for "legit/mainstream" these days is plain old propaganda. Thedonald.win itself exists because the original group, r/The_Donald, was censored and banned from reddit on the excuse that they were inciting violence against the police. This, of course, happened just before inciting violence against the police was considered cool. If you want to know what that other side thinks (supposing you are on the other's other side), go to thedonald.win.

Village idiot here. I will save this pearl of progressive-marxist thought to show to my fellow village idiots how exactly we are seen by the self-appointed, "educated" elite who want us to surrender our rights at their feet.

China's is still full communist, but some tightly government-controlled capitalism has been allowed.

"To let them come to be born, in my opinion, would have been irresponsible as a first step, because you don't know what kind of behavioral change you'll get." is code for "Do you think if we had done this we would tell you?"

This should be easy to observe. If this process of creation of rich-complex molecules is happening today, we should be able to find some of these "ponds" where bacteria feeds on newly created rich molecules. If this found, then we would know why every bit of life on earth today descends from one single common ancestor (Last universal common ancestor)--The more complex of the first lifeforms to exist simply ate every other that arose afterwards.

HN invaded by conservative/libertarians? That sounds like a conspiracy theory.

I was thinking on how to respond to you, but realized you are not saying anything at all.

But, isn't Science supposed to be doubted always? Science is not supposed to be a cult where the Scientists are the high priests that shall not be doubted. Science is a method to find (or at least get closer to) the truth, and for that we must always doubt what we have. That's how it's supposed to work. In the end only the truth can survive criticism and misguided reasoning. We must not only welcome, but encourage doubt, criticism, and disagreements. In fact, we should be very suspicious when all Scientist agree (you know, when the Science has been "settled"). As for motives and integrity, the word of a Scientist has become too much of a powerful political force these days. No wonder that among the serious and dedicated Scientists there are also a very vocal group of political activists with Science degrees. So, yes. As a person who loves his personal and indvidual freedom, I will reserve the right to doubt Science and Scientists all the time.

And also maybe 80% of the blame for starting the war was Russia's too. The war started when Germany invaded Poland, knowing they had nothing to worry about Russia, because they had agreed with Russia to divide Poland between themselves. After Russia entered the war (when Germany surprise-attacked them), Russia received support from the US, who basically financed the war for the russians. The war ended, and Russia -who was an impoverished state before the war- ended as a nuclear superpower who controlled half of Europe. So they started the war, ended the war, and gained more than anyone from the war.
