    daxon is a pretty weird guy when it comes to medical matters and video games

    Yeah, I guess. Just find a lot of stuff useless.

    I am also highly suspect of medications that a prescribed especially ones where the mechanism of action is basically "fuck knows - but it seems to do something in the general direction of what we're trying to achieve".

    I mean, it's probably valuable to research retroviruses in general. Gives processes of how to get your cells to accept DNA that isn't there's and not triggering defence systems and all that. It's just a "vaccine for HIV" seems like a useless struggle for something that's just not happening ever.

    Unless we get magical nanobot vaccines that you can reprogram to target new versions of the virus at will.

    I'm just not as optimistic as you guys all are when it comes to what science will discover. Like you folks that were insistent we might find the Culture - sorry guys, that's never fucking happening. Nor is scifi type FTL travel or any of that.

    Video games I don't know what you're getting at.

    This has nothing to do at all with what you were saying earlier. You're saying "we probably wont ever have the technology to develop a cure for AIDS" now whereas before you were saying "all a cure for AIDS will do is promote promiscuity and multiple partners and that's bad so we shouldn't even bother solving AIDS"

    Previous bit stands - I don't genuinely expect to have to fully repeat myself in every single fucking post I make about the subject.

    Or should I just write one post on my opinions on HIV research and then repost it as required when people continuously take second-hand information, get incredulous and upset then require it explaining again?

    Also it's marvellous how well you are at reading for

    Kind of specifically says "vaccine for HIV" is a useless struggle and we shouldn't bother because we aren't going to develop magically reprogrammable nanobot vaccines that'll target new versions of the virus.

    daxon, should we get rid of all existing STD treatments because they might teach kids that sex has no consequences?

    Nah, if you get a disease from an action you take then it's cured and you're completely fine after that without any long-term effects I reckon that's the best really. Because you learn that action A leads to consequence A which was real fucking painful and unfun, but now I'm better so I might modify action A to include a condom the next time around and I can avoid all that. Basically: 100% cure for HIV better than vaccine in my eyes, although prevention is the best course in most cases of disease I think STI disease are a bit different.

    I'd really like it if all cigarettes came with wrapped in poison ivy and smoking it gave you excruciating pain - because it'd teach you to stay the fuck away cause they are horrible cancer sticks of death and suffering and there should be nothing making you want to use them. (yes I know this isn't going to happen please don't make a post about how retarded that sounds)

    aquarium: good second date?

    Awesome date if she's into fish. If she isn't, terrible date.

    There's some pretty amazing stuff at the aquarium even if you're not much of a fish person. I had lots of fun at Shedd a few years ago, and I'm not really a fan of marine life.

    Most animals smell terrible, really.

    also, I am terrible at judging date/flirty dialog given that I have never been on one:
    "That. That is one hell of a shark." I pointed, as if Max needed the help finding it.
    "Good God. I think I could fit both hands in one of his gill slits."
    "Hmm. I think you'd better keep your hands right here," I said, playfully taking one in mine.
    "Sounds like a good plan to me," he said, making no attempt to remove it. I didn't let go, and we kept walking.

    I learnt an interesting factoid about fish last week.

    There is no such thing as "fish". Different species of "fish" may be as dissimilar as we are to birds with incredibly different evolutionary histories.

    So some "fish" may be more closely related to land animals than other "fish" and so on.

    Stephen Fry is such an informative chap.

    It does, however, require that the person you're talking to know the jargon, so the utility is somewhat questionable.

    I'm at work too Than.

    Let me present to you a moral quandry. I don't want to be too specific in case I'm ever discovered on the interweb.

    So a coworker of mine has a job description in which he is realistically supposed to be staying later than most if not the latest. It is indeed in his job description. It is in anyone in his position's job description. To stay very late.

    However, he is an Orthodox Jew. So every Friday, which is arguably the most work-intensive evening, he always leaves before sundown, and has to be home before then, so hes out BY 5 every Friday and every holiday.

    It's like, you can't discriminate, but how is he doing his job?
