Is that his exwife? What's she even doing on twitter?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

One of them, yes.

How an independently successful person like her got knocked up by Elon, I'll never understand.

Wait theyre already divorced??

[–] [email protected] 10 points 15 hours ago

I think the only other things I know about her was the photo op of her reading The Communist Manifesto after the divorce and her tweeting him to stop being awful one time. Everything seems performative with her when it would be so easy for her to be a sympathetic figure. Well, shitheels attract shitheels.

She's garbage just like him

he probably wouldn't even die, he'd just spread it to as many people as possible so he can turn it into a global pandemic and kill off the "undesirables"

Like his herpes?

P sure bird flu is less severe than your bog standard flu in humans, it's major risk is the damage to the food infrastructure.

That is to say, I get what you're getting at, but, thankfully, the risk of another global pandemic with the scope and damage like with COVID-19 is incredibly low, or at least that's what my buddies in the medical field are saying.

Edit: well dang it might be more dangerous than I was led to believe

your buddies are absolutely divorced from reality. if they're epidemiologists they should quit their jobs

From what we saw in the Canadian teen: It’s only a mutation away from ripping through humans in a real bad way. It picked up the mutation it needed to switch from preferring the alpha 2,3 receptor plentiful in birds to the alpha 2,6 sialic acids that are plentiful in the human nose, throat and lungs when the teen was infected. That teen then developed ARDS and she needed to be intubated.

Your buddies in the medical field need to have their licenses reevaluated.

I'm thinking now that particular line may have been dripping with their personal brand of deadpan sarcasm and I missed this by hearing it second hand.

This has been a great example of learning about something by being wrong about it on the internet, though

[–] [email protected] 7 points 16 hours ago

Thank goodness, I hope you're right. I have family working at various licensing boards, and I've been hearing of too many medical professionals completely ignoring their microbiology or ethics classes and peddling conspiracy nonsense.

the h5n1 bird flu has a cfr of 48%

Elon will get fucked, since he's already a chicken.

Why use a Google link shortener with tracking, instead of linking to the Hollywood reporters site directly.

Or, more to the point, why use a Google app that replaces links you want to share with redirects?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

I'll be honest, I'm not very tech savvy. I thought, going to the website (using my phone) and using the share/copy link option was good enough. If you let me know how to avoid these inconveniences, I'll implement such an approach next time.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

Depends on your process. Are you using the Google (Search) App? I don't think you can turn that off in there. I'd take a look at using a different Browser. If you're on iOS, Safari is probably fine, if you're on Android, I'd think about using Firefox (Google Play), or if you're feeling daring, Fennec, a more privacy focused version of Firefox (F-droid).

The UX will be different, and you gotta decide whether you're fine with that, but at least those won't change the links you're trying to share.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 19 hours ago

Maybe try using the "open in firefox/chrome" before

[–] [email protected] 4 points 19 hours ago

A surprising amount of people on iOS use the "Google App" as a browser

i have this handy applicator that lets you skip that step, point and click, hk makes it.

Or failing that, use the eggs to give Elon super high cholesterol.
