This is the version in the game rules.
pacerwpg··on Twitter set to accept Musk's $43B offer – sources
My comment was about the known requirements for air travel. You have to register your flight and that information is available. He has other options that would more safely guarantee privacy. If the privacy of your travels is more important to you than the convenience of having a private plane available, then you choose another option.

If I buy a private jet and use it to fly around the world, people would have access to the same information as they do on Elon Musk. He wants the convenience of having his own jet, that comes with a cost.
pacerwpg··on Elon Musk makes $43B unsolicited bid to take Twitter private
As somebody who is banned on Twitter for unclear reasons, I can unequivocally say that this is preferable to being thrown in jail or fined by the government
pacerwpg··on Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop confirmed in New York Times report
> People familiar with the investigation said prosecutors had examined emails between Mr. Biden, Mr. Archer and others about Burisma and other foreign business activity. Those emails were obtained by The New York Times from a cache of files that appears to have come from a laptop abandoned by Mr. Biden in a Delaware repair shop. The email and others in the cache were authenticated by people familiar with them and with the investigation. [1]

This is the alleged confirmation. No new information on the source of the emails, just reference to the original allegations from October 2020. Circular confirmation, the ol' Murdoch special.

There's also the coincidental timing that the referenced materials were all released within the last month.

Nobody responded and I'm not entirely sure why.

pacerwpg··on Who are some of the best/worst “tech” YouTubers/reviewers
I really enjoy Techmoan, but he's more of a 'dead tech' YouTuber. He features some very niche items, such as automated store PA announce systems and sometimes puts a lot of work into fixing and documenting his fixes in order to demo.
pacerwpg··on Workers are calling out sick in droves
The only places where vaccinated hospitalizations outpace unvaccinated are in places with very high vaccine uptake. If you compare on a per capita basis, hospitalizations in the unvaccinated are higher.

There's also a highly transmissible variant, which shows some level of resistance to vaccination.

These aren't difficult concepts to understand.

We have evidence of one and not the other. It's really simple.

The millions of people who have friends and relatives who have died may disagree.

> Natural immunity has been shown to be 6-14x as effective as full vaccination.

> The fact that fully vaccinated people have the same viral load with Delta invalidates a huge amount of your (and the Irish government's) reasoning behind demonizing the unvaccinated.

Do you have sources for either of these claims? Everything I've seen seems to indicate the opposite.

Has there been any data suggesting that the vaccines present a significant risk to children?

This is from the fact check and it sounds to me like they're treating the claims fairly and not using a ridiculous version.

'Several posts circulating online wrongly suggest that the pills are the same because ivermectin also acts like a protease inhibitor and keeps the virus from replicating. Ivermectin continues to be studied in relation to COVID-19, however, it has yet to be proven that it can treat COVID-19.

Images of the structure of Pfizer’s new pill and ivermectin can be found online and do not show similarities like the posts describe.

Ivermectin binds to glutamate-gated chloride channels and is used to treat parasite infections, said Joseph Glajch, a consultant in pharmaceutical and analytical chemistry.

“These two are so far apart,” he said. “If you look at how they interact with the body..., they don’t even go to the same pathways or receptors.”'

Ah, the irony of your root comment getting censored by being flagged in a thread about censorship, because it wasn't popular.

It's possible, the number of excess deaths in the region over a period (1 July 2020 and 31 March 2021) was measured at 197k compared to other years, but they only reported 4500 covid deaths.

Apologies for the accusations. The assumptions come from past experiences and patterns of behaviour I've seen. I should be more careful.

He says 'they're throwing all the republican challengers out of this room' and a woman replies 'no they're not'. The man in the video isn't demanding anything like what the tweet describes.

I have to think you're engaging in this in bad faith because you're using misleading tweets to guide the discussion.

pacerwpg··on Watch an election being stolen in realtime
I mean it's possible that it could have happened, but I feel like if you're going to make claims like this, there's a pretty high threshold of evidence required.

If you look further down the thread, there were official election monitors in the room.
pacerwpg··on Comparing SARS-CoV-2 natural immunity to vaccine-induced immunity
It's not that the information itself is threatening, but people will use the information in a destructive manner. I don't think it's a stretch to suggest that people will likely die from people saying that people don't need to get vaccinated because people will say natural immunity is 'better'.

More context is almost always better.

pacerwpg··on Colorado county's voting machines banned after security breach
To be fair to the Democrats, though they rarely deserve it, Trump did attempt to overturn the election and has actively worked to create doubt about the results. Sure they made claims, but their claims have been proven correct as time has passed.

This is an open ended request. Specifically which elections were not open and accountable and now require an official audit?
