It is absolutely propaganda. I do enjoy that I'm getting downvoted for sharing this trash heap of a take from the UK though.

Sharing because even a number of doctors I've spoken to do not seem to be up-to-date on the possibility of an delayed onset, extended bout of long COVID. In other news, your sometimes pal Mel has been dealing with this nonsense since April.

 

Long COVID symptoms can persist for a year after initial infection, or re-emerge months later after disappearing.

Vaccine deniers are idiots, so I have no issue blocking conspiracy porn. However, blocking people from finding and discussing legitimate health related issues like long COVID is ridiculous. This feels less user-driven and more political... we're entering US election season and a resurgence of COVID would not play well with the incumbent's numbers.

Not saying that the incumbent is forcing anything... but tech companies (Twitter aside) do seem to lean left.

Simply put, no. You can make the claim but it doesn't make it true.

Even if it were true, fuck the biggest pirate of them all, Google itself.

A shame they made the solo quest basically "you are the edgiest of edgelords, LORD OF EDGE with the darkest of Urges!"

If you have a player who builds characters to exploit the system then that's a player who needs a talking to, most likely.

Not that you haven't had this explained to you repeatedly, but... thats not how the burden of proof works.

Example:

If I say "zephyreks is an unrepentant kisser of billionaire toes," then I should be the one to provide proof of toe kissing. It's not on you to prove that you don't kiss billionaire toes.

In the article, the author makes a claim. They do not back up the claim with evidence. They dong do so, they should expect to be criticized for it.

Inevitable whataboutism aside, the evidence against China is overwhelming. The CCP has taken to playing the victim every time they're criticized... and the disappointing thing is that there are those who will refuse to see the truth.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't hear your summons over the screams of the Tibetan and Uyghur people" is the response we need but will never, ever see. For one of the biggest international bullies, China is pretty good at playing the victim.

And then there's this motherfucker, getting people killed by using the power of his governorship to spread misinformation and lies.

I just disconnected mine and set up a Kodi server to manage content, will set up a removable device if I ever need native streaming. The privacy issues with my LG and the ads they added after purchase were irritating enough to push me over the edge.

Is for me, but there are plenty of solutions for those who need more.
