Yeah I was going to say the reason there hasn’t been significant progress on a HIV virus isn’t because it isn’t possible but because for the longest time the bodies that could provide funding for the research thought HIV killing ‘the gays’ was a desirable outcome…

The depressing thing for me is that in my country access to COVID vaccines is now limited - you can only get a booster if you’re part of the “clinically vulnerable” group. And whilst I kinda get it that the logic is the same as the flu vaccine that it’s about reducing hospitalisations, at least with flu we have the option to get the vaccine privately… Which we don’t with COVID.
Yeah when I saw the title I assumed it was going to be about the sheer crassness of the quarantine room scenes.
Also to be honest, the Star Trek IP being taken away from Paramount’s dumb decisions could be the best thing to happen to it.
I think we can blame the education system. At some point it became solely about passing some arbitrary threshold of students with high exam scores rather than about teaching students how to get by in life.
End result was an education system that simply teaches kids how to pass exams rather than basic life skills like critical thinking.
I’m also reminded of the time a few years ago (but post gamergate) when the total war subreddit got flooded by people lamenting the wokeness in Rome 2 due to “being able to have all female armies”… Except this wasn’t true, the screenshot floating around depicting all female armies was from a mod.
I’d hate to live in a world where just because something isn’t immediately useful it shouldn’t be researched.
Being able to demonstrate the ability to suppress a sonic boom would be huge.
