They may have made this "scientific advancement", but that won't help them very much when their heathen culture of devaluing life burns in the eternal fires of hell.

Will it?

It's funny because this is the same lecture I got after announcing the good news.

And by funny I mean, tremendously, horribly depressing.

so is this real news or fake news

apparently when they did the treatment like a year and a half ago they said "this will probably cure HIV" and that's when everyone else heard of it

but just recently they found out "yup, it sure did" and that's when I heard of it

This is defenitley a step in the right direction. We'll be able to retroactivley cure Freddie, right?

I do believe that one of the main advantages of stem cells is that they're not bound by our space-time, yes.

Zombiism basically is AIDS.

Raneados

Raneados

i've never heard of a turnover

you suck, advertisement!

MagnumCT

It's a pastry-cake dealie. Like a pie pocket. I guess if you turn it over, it looks the same? I dunno.

#pipe

it's sweet pastry filled with apple or other fruit and folded in half, or turned over if you will

GeoMitch

they are like empanadas

Raneados

so it's pastry + filling

so

a pie?

GeoMitch

no this is a pie

MagnumCT

Goddamn is it ever.

Raneados

so turnovers are just like

a pie

but you know

turned over

so it's a pie?

MagnumCT

Yep.

End

Fuck you guys, now I want some pie.

A turnover is a kind of pastry made by placing a filling on a piece of dough, folding the dough over, and sealing it. Turnovers can be sweet or savory and are often made as a sort of portable meal or dessert, similar to a sandwich.

MagnumCT

It's a personal pie, a pie for one.

MagnumCT

So meat turnovers? Hot Pockets, essentially.

Houk

It's a pie you can lord over your friends

Fiz

Hey Houk once they get rid of your hiv we should hang out. Watch Saw3D

MagnumCT

A pie that allows you to say, "We're having pie, or at least, I am."

Houk

I'm never getting rid of my hiv

Gets me way too much sympathy sex

Plus they don't get offended when you double bag it.

MagnumCT

Whatever it is, I want'em.

facetious

Guys why are we discussing pastries.

WE HAVE CURED HIV!






Mmm, Pop Tarts.

#pipe

pastries are delicious

Fiz

What do poptarts and stem cells have in common?

The filling.

MagnumCT

Now that there is no more AIDS, we're fun and fancy free.

GeoMitch

doesn't this treatment cost a gorillion dollars though? and isn't the thing they cured him with only found in %1.5 of all dudes? hardly a miracle cure.

The article also mentions that now that they know what does it they'll start trying to figure out ways to basically mutate your own bone marrow into AIDS-resistant supermarrow so you won't need a donor.

Come on man, stop being so HIVnegative and start being HIVpositive about the situation.
