  • I fucking hate titles like this. Mice don’t have Alzheimer’s, never had, never will*.

    IIRC we have selectively bred a line of mice with a genetical disease which has similar symptoms as Alzheimer’s, but it’s a very different disease.

    Only a tiny percentage of what they discover using mice is actually helpful for Alzheimer’s.

    This is like applying a COVID vaccine to treat flu just because they have some symptoms in common.

  • Ah, in that case it probably won’t work, the Android apps on SFOS don’t have access to Bluetooth, you would need a native one.

    SFOS is fine, I like it, it’s smooth, has sleek UI and generally works very well, sans the occasional bugs. The Android layer is also splendid, though there are cases like this where it simply won’t work. Same with any app needing to pass SafetyNet checks which many bank apps do.

    But if you’re lucky and you don’t need any app with hardware access and your bank doesn’t mind being ran on Google untested device, it’s really great!










  • Have you ever read Bible? It’s, not unlike Nazism, an ideology defined by violence and the rejection of the humanity of minority populations.

    I do condemn people for their actions and the impact they have on the world. If some Nazi doesn’t do anything personally, is it fine that they’re a Nazi? Simply being part of the group that does horrible things is supporting them.

    And I’m not talking about dictatorships like in the middle east where you can choose between being a muslim and death. I’m talking about full-on western freedom enjoying people who by choice are spreading religions of hate, be it christianity, islam or hinduism.

    As another example, one good thing of Nazis is supporting local economy. Hopefully we both agree that doesn’t really offset the rest of Nazism and make it any better.

    So imagine someone told you “yeah, they’re a Nazi, but they only support the good parts, like local economy growth, not the murdering of black people and gays.”

    If the above sounds ridiculous to you, congrats, you finally see how ridiculous it sounds to me when you say “they’re Christians, but they don’t support murdering of gays and black people, they just believe in God.”


    No idea who Zohran Mamdani is, but their faith in whatever sky daddy should be ridiculed. There’s no place for religion in the modern world and 500 years from now people will think how weird it is that we had access to all those information on the internet but still believed in magical beings who are contradicted like 5 times every 2 pages of their respective holy books.


    TL;DR islam and christianity are extremely hateful religions and should not be tolerated, no matter whether you claim to just pick the “good parts” of the religion.


  • Oh, I am and will continue to be very tolerant of everyone, except of people who make it possible for people to believe in various sky daddies. That wouldn’t be as bad if people also didn’t murder in the name of said sky daddies.

    To paraphrase the ridiculous statement of the community, would it be okay if someone told you they were a Nazi, but don’t worry, only the good parts, not the bad ones like murdering lesser people?
