We're All Doomed!™ (the Conquest, War, Famine, and Death Thread)

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

Looks like it has prompted the UK government to issue their own inquiry, so it likely is very close to the truth, but the wheels of justice turn exceedingly slow.
The government’s official Independent Inquiry into Grooming Gangs report has a budget of 65-million pounds and must be submitted no later than March 31, 2029.

Yeah maybe.

Somewhat sick reading either way..let's cast the racist fearmongering aside and ask wtf if this is factual to any degree.

Yeah....I get it....I can find 15 more non reputable web sites carrying similar stories if you like but can't be bothered.

So it didn't happen then because MSM didn't cover it....??

Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Applies to almost any news source that isn't mainstream and left leaning.

The cool part is what it's aimed at. Not one virus, but a whole family of coronaviruses at once - including the one that caused COVID, and bat viruses that haven't reached people yet. The goal is a shot that still works even when a virus changes.
Yes !

This one of the things AI is actually good at.
Which..once fully sentient and wondering wtf humans are good for is also potentially problematic.
