It's never this cut and dry in real life though. People often misinterpret others' actions as flirting when they're just being friendly. For some people, a woman smiling and making eye contact is flirting. It's not on the person who's being friendly "to make it extremely clear from the get go" that they aren't interested in going out with you. It was on anon to ask this woman if she was single if he wanted to ask her out

A lot of ~~women~~ people just like ~~the~~ attention ~~they get from being attractive~~.

If there's actually a problem with your account, and you ignore it, the only thing you're accomplishing is putting any money you have in that account at risk. Why are you so bothered by your bank sending you an email using extremely common informatics technology, especially after you already planned for this and literally aren't sending them any of the data you're concerned about? Try calling them

Wait wait wait...you have no idea how a squid would react if you tickled it. What if it freaked out and bit your nose off? First you need to cautiously do a test tickle

We fortunately already have vaccines for bird flu

Incredible argument. We should create a Lemmy hall of fame just for this comment. Bravo

H5N1 vaccines already exist, no one gets them because the risk of contracting it is so low. There are even existing stockpiles in the US and EU for rapid deployment.

In January 2020, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Audenz, an adjuvanted influenza A (H5N1) monovalent vaccine.[2][6] Audenz is a vaccine indicated for active immunization for the prevention of disease caused by the influenza A virus H5N1 subtype contained in the vaccine. Audenz is approved for use in persons six months of age and older at increased risk of exposure to the influenza A virus H5N1 subtype contained in the vaccine.[2]

Some older, egg-based H5N1 vaccines for humans that have been licensed are:

Sanofi Pasteur's vaccine approved by the United States in April 2007,[7][8] GlaxoSmithKline's vaccine Prepandrix approved by the European Union in May 2008, with reactive AS03 (containing squalene) adjuvant,[9] and CSL Limited's vaccine Panvax approved by Australia in June 2008.

Other licensed H5N1 vaccines include:

Adjupanrix, approved for medical use in the European Union in October 2009.[10] Adjupanrix contains the flu strain A/VietNam/1194/2004 NIBRG 14 (H5N1).[10] Foclivia, approved for medical use in the European Union in October 2009.[11] Foclivia contains the flu strain A/Vietnam/1194/2004 (H5N1).[11] Aflunov, approved for medical use in the European Union in November 2010.[12] Aflunov contains the flu strain A/turkey/Turkey/1/2005 (H5N1)-like strain (NIBRG-23) (clade 2.2.1).[12] Pumarix, approved for medical use in the European Union in March 2011.[13]

In November 2013, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved an experimental H5N1 bird flu vaccine to be held in stockpiles.[14][15] In a clinical trial including 3,400 adults, 91% of people age 18-64 and 74% of people age 65 or older formed an immune response sufficient to provide protection. Reported adverse effects were generally mild, with pain at the injection site being the most common adverse effect.[16]

In June 2024, the European Commission signed a four-year contract with CSL Seqirus to secure 665,000 pre-pandemic vaccines with a provision for a further 40 million doses of avian flu vaccines for 15 member states.[17]

Oh my...

Where are you from?

I, for one, criticize incels regularly

I don't think anyone involved thinks she's talking about every single young man. Well, except you, of course

It's cute that you think there exists a photograph of Trump so obscene as to change anyone's mind about the man

How do you define what "will harm the people?"
