Wild times in a wild world
  • I think you need to take the same approach as the British during WW2 with the Enigma. They could decrypt the messages and know when attacks would happen, but if they stopped every attack, the Nazis would know and change encryption device. So you need to accept that some people will die and only mitigate the disaster in small but impactful ways.

    Anon defends Michael Jackson
  • His father was a complete piece of shit and treated him horribly and also he was never really allowed a proper childhood.

    So I have heard some people argue that perhaps he was not a pedophile, but rather just really mentally ill, partly believing to be a kid that just wanted child playmates. Still wrong for an adult to act like this, but perhaps there was no sexual misconduct.

    Not sure what to believe and perhaps I just don't want him to be a villain, but I would like to hear if there is some concrete evidence.

    Nipah virus: Kerala state issues alert after 14-year-old dies
  • From the Wikipedia page it seems that there are small outbreaks every year in the region of origin (India/Malaysia). It seems like the government is quite good at tracking down infected and potentially infected - which is lucky since the mortality rate is above 50%! I wonder what happens if one of the infected jumped on a plane to a completely different place in the world that was not so good at managing it.
