partial_accumen, to world in Game-Changing HIV Shot Can’t Get to High-Risk Groups Fast Enough | Lenacapavir proved it's possible to prevent 100% of infections in women. Access and affordability are the next big hurdles.

Just don’t fuck like a monkey and you will be safe

You can keep your slut shaming to yourself.

Among other things your advice isn’t an option for victims of rape, and in some parts of the world HIV is as widespread as rape.

partial_accumen, to world in Game-Changing HIV Shot Can’t Get to High-Risk Groups Fast Enough | Lenacapavir proved it's possible to prevent 100% of infections in women. Access and affordability are the next big hurdles.

“lenacapavir, a twice-yearly shot developed by Gilead Sciences for the prevention of HIV.”

So its not a vaccine, but it would still be incredibly helpful in reducing the spread of of HIV.

Patron: Excuse me, what aisle could I find content on ‘god’s fury’?

Worker: That would be aisle 6.

Patron: oh, excuse me. I misspoke. What aisle could I find content on ‘furry gods’?

Worker: Oh, no worries! That would be aisle 8.

partial_accumen, to world in Netanyahu claims Israel saw ‘dramatic drop’ in US arms shipments

because we all know that Biden will ship harder for Netty-Boo

Don’t forget your fight is also with the House of Representatives now. Biden did stop shipping some weapons to Israel and Congress forced the shipments of weapons to start again.

“House passes bill to undo Biden’s partial Israel weapons hold”

That is certainly an opinion.

partial_accumen, to world in Philippines accuses Chinese Coast Guard of boarding boats

According to Torres, the Filipino sailors were under orders not to show their weapons in a confrontation, and one of them lost a thumb.

I’m guessing that policy is about to change.

partial_accumen, to politics in Other states eye Mass. millionaires tax — for windfall or wealth exodus

Great, all three people who have an INCOME of a million dollars a year might have to pay tax if they don’t move.

Up to $1M would still pay the same tax as everyone else. Its income from $1m to $2m per year that would get the higher that would pay this new tax.

I like the spinoff, but it would be the other way around.

Jellico would never end up doing exactly what Q wanted and Q would be always frustrated. Every episode would end with Q destroying Jellico in some spectacular fashion while Jellico smirks condescendingly with a quip “Go ahead and destroy me Q. Prove to both of us how weak you are that a simply human got the best of you”. Each subsequent episode would completely ignore the continuity and Jellico would be there like he was never destroyed. After 6 or 7 episodes even Q would notice this and start question things. Season (Series?) finale would reveal that all the other Q keep resurrecting Jellico because it keeps Q out of their hair.

You can even see the stylized product icon with the simple facial features with the little square mustache. People in that timeline unironically refer to that CI tool as “The Final Solution” in CI.

. . . Bannon spoke at a conservative gathering in Detroit this weekend where Trump also spoke. Bannon vowed that Trump’s political opponents and federal law enforcement authorities would face blowback if Trump wins a second term as president.

As if we need more reason to NOT vote for Trump.

partial_accumen, to politics in Other states eye Mass. millionaires tax — for windfall or wealth exodus

I hadn’t heard of this. Here’s the rates which I was interested in I found in a separate article:

The new tax, set to take effect Jan. 1, will apply to any portion of taxable income above $1 million. For example, a taxpayer earning $2 million will pay the state’s current 5% tax rate on the first $1 million. The second million dollars will be taxed under a higher rate: 9%. That adds up to an extra $40,000 in state income taxes."

The tax also applies to “one-time millionaires,” including people who make more than $1 million in taxable income from selling their homes or businesses. According to an analysis by the Center for State Policy Analysis at Tufts University, an estimated 0.6% of tax filers would see their tax bill increase as a result of this measure.

Yeah that doesn’t help your argument . TNG’s “Encounter at Farpoint” came out in 1987, that’s 37 years ago if you’re keeping track. It shows too. I know it doesn’t seem like it to our old eyes, but it just doesn’t measure up today. DS9 came out in 1993 just 6 years later making it 31 years old, so only a minor improvement for those audiences.

Imagine a younger person (than us) that finished watching “The Expanse” and sat down to watch precocious Wesley Crusher being berated by Piccard for pressing buttons on the command chair arm, and Troy walking in with a short skirted uniform while everyone else wears long pants. Storytelling has evolved. Societal norms have evolved. Production values have evolved. Expecting a show (especially one about the future) to not even reflect representation of today is too big of an ask for a new audience that isn’t specifically seeking out a show that reflects the 1980s or 90s aesthetic and society.
