  • Back in the early 2000s, when the web was still somewhat safe, I used to post comments on a news site using my real name … my reasoning being that if I was posting my opinion on something I should have the balls to use my rn.

    Within about a year it started becoming more dangerous tho. I wasn’t stalked but the responses became more personal and degrading, and the misogynists began showing up in force.

    I get why Greece would want to do this, but as of right now it would be better if they made some hard rules for Meta et al to follow - with massive fines attached for being lax.


























  • This is how it works (from the article) …

    The search began to find the best bone marrow match. The ideal donor would also have a CCR5 gene mutation resistant to HIV.

    CCR5 is a protein on the surface of an immune cell that acts as the door that HIV enters to infect the body, but about one per cent of the population, primarily of northern European descent, are deficient of this gene.

    That means there is no door for the virus to enter, “and so the virus can’t get into the cells,” said Dr. Mario Ostrowski, a clinician-scientist at St. Michael’s Hospital who co-led the case with Walmsley. The new donor cells could also attack and eliminate the reservoir of virus-infected cells.

    Seems the lawyer wasn’t playing nice.

    Clarke, a Biden appointee, found that Christensen “repeatedly lied to the Court and to opposing counsel in this litigation” about what was happening in a related case, a class-action lawsuit by Epstein victims against JPMorgan Chase. Clarke also found that Christensen directed the plaintiff, who remains anonymous, to destroy a social-media account that she used to post public messages about her experiences.

    And the judge found that the plaintiff “falsified sonogram images in her personal journals,” which she relied on to allege that Epstein and other men who allegedly abused her carried out what she called an “impregnation game” in which she was forced to either bear their children or undergo abortions.
