If you assume that berserkers are difficult to produce and disperse throughout the galaxy, then you might conclude that they have limited capabilities. Perhaps after detecting intelligent life and reporting it, perhaps it attached itself to

Unlikely. The one that hit a couple years ago in Russia was not detected at all because it came from the solar side.

In fairness, the odds of an asteroid hitting so close to a major city is so small, that an intentional alien attack should not be entirely ruled out. A berserker in far solar orbit could conceivably stunt human development every couple thou

The timelines do not match. OP's event took place in 1650BCE, while the Bronze Age collapse was 450 years later, in 1200BCE. Those dates are separated significantly beyond their margins of error.

It does seem strange that the impact was so close to a city. Statistically, this would infer that many many of these impacts have happened all over the place, and there's not much evidence of that. Another fun theory is that there&#x2

This post is childish and has no depth or merit. It reads like a teenager's rant with blending of angst and conflating of ideas and emotions.

The accusation of being "tone deaf" is one of those "it doesn't matter if you're technically right - you're arguing for the wrong team" comments. If you have a substantive criticism to make, you should art

The real underlying issue is that high profile accounts are targeted by groups of users who "report abuse" simply because they don't like that sports team/politician/etc... High profile accounts cannot work under id

You have to remember that high profile accounts get 10000x the number of abuse-reports than a normal account - nearly all bogus. The normal automated moderation functions simply do not work. Many users will simply mash the "report abus

Exactly, it's NOT known. ...which is why it's not ethical to require their vaccination in order to work when the benefit to their patients is unknown. The burden of proof should be on the agency forcing vaccinations upon people t

It looks like these are mostly journalists being killed covering things like the drug trade or gang activities in developing countries. I don't see any connection to the deaths and climate change.

If they were making the argument that they should be exempt because they tested positive for antibodies, that would be a more reasonable argument. They are not making that argument. They are simply anti-vax.

Slippery slope fallacy. Also, six months ago, there were plenty of people advocating for vaccine mandates for healthcare workers/etc... myself included.

> Deadly? Not really, The Delta variant has a case fatality rate in the US of 0.1% for the general population, and 2% for those over 50. That's not nothing. There are a LOT of people over 50 in a hospital.

That might be the fear going around - but it has zero basis in fact or science. It would be like saying all women have stopped eating pineapple because there's a viral Facebook post going around telling people that pineapples cause inf

I feel like if they tested positive for covid-19 antibodies, that might be a valid exemption - because it's a bit much to require vaccinations for them if we still don't even know that it makes much difference.
741.
by q1w2 5y ago
In these cases though, they have not. It would be a better argument to say that they've tested positive for covid-19 antibodies - but that's not what's going on here. They're just anti-vax.

Right, but those CDC statements make it clear that the CDC is guessing and asking people to get vaccinated - not knowing if it's helpful or not.

There is a nurse shortage unfortunately, so this problem of poor quality nurses isn't going away.

No one is arguing for forced vaccinations. Arguing to absurdum, does not make a logical argument.

Nurses don't deliver babies anyway - doctors do. Gender, race, sex preferences, or political beliefs are very different from being anti-vax. Being anti-vax is evidence of low intelligence. So no, I would not want someone with low inte

Aside from the risk they're introducing to the delivery ward, the newborns, and the recovering mothers, it also represents a lack of intelligence - which can impact other aspects of care. I have dealt with a large number of poor qualit

The rate might be higher, but we have our share of anti-vax people - including some violent protests at the Prime Minister lately, causing him to cancel rally events. In our office, we have a number of people I know aren't vaccinated.
