Didn't that Ricky English (or whatever his name is) have a song almost just like that which was later critiqued for all its rapey overtones?

EDIT: Oh wait, he had 2. Suddenly I'm starting to understand why @Bender and I have commitment issues (being built in mexico and all).

His name is Enrique Iglesias and he opens for no one.
(This is in reference to when he was asked a few years ago to be the opening act for Britney Spears. He replied, "My name is Enrique Iglesias and I open for no one." Still cracks me up).

The uncensored version is called Tonight (I'm Fuckin' You).

What the fuck were his handlers thinking?

They were thinking "Oh shit being single handedly focused on the black voting bloc is turning the Latinos away as they wonder why the fuck should they even support us" Which is true and has been pointed out already, but why play Despacito of all things? It was known for being overplayed on the radio, then became the subject of Youtube and Reddit "dank" memes. Maybe it's a stealth attempt to court the youth vote by showing Biden knows what the zoomer memes are.

I guess he opens for creepy sleepy Joe now.

It was overplayed on the radio, so it must be the one thing all the kids and spics loved. Remember that time Michio Kaku rambled about how a one-world culture based on hip-hop was establishing itself before our eyes (back in the 2000s IIRC)? These are the kind of people who unironically believe that sort of thing is good.

All of Western Culture will one day degenerate into a bunch of hoodrat 11 year olds twerking on a crumbling statue of Abraham Lincoln (which will have the word, "Slaveowner" spraypainted on it.) The good news is that, once culture reaches this state, technology will too, and any part of the world with a measurable winter will be emptied of non-productive people the minute the snow flies.

As the collapse of Rome showed, populations don’t truly decline until plagues hit. No war or civilizational collapse has ever caused population collapse. Only environmental catastrophe.

edit: for those rating me optimistic, don’t misunderstand. It means humans will readily live in increasing squalor and the population will increase regardless because agricultural feudalism takes hold.

I wonder what Trump must be thinking if he's rushing out a vaccine to be ready in months rather than years. I've heard lots of regulations for vaccines development got stripped away but I'm not sure if those are bureaucratic red tapes or dismissing development and testing procedures. I hope it's just the former but I don't have great hopes for the vaccines to be honest.

Since no one answered, I shall.

Its a bit of both, really. There was a LOT of (necessary) red tape when vaccines where first properly regulated. This was due to there being a lot of skepticism about them and a lack of standardized vaccination creation techniques making it a sort of "Wild West of Vaccines". Modern vaccine creation largely follows one of three methods of creation which we -generally- know all the major side effects which are likely or possible to occur. If the vaccine is made off one of these, the FDA will feel fairly confident in clearing it quickly.


If its NOT from one of those three, I expect the FDA to run it through tits full, usual rigor sans the extra red tape, but given the fast tracking it probably is one of the three.

Now, thats not to say fast tracking doesn't pose a risk. You'll note i am speaking in generalities above. There is a real and present risk of something getting borked, its just likely been determined that the chance of it is lower than the chance of covid deaths long term.

Professional idiot Jim Carrey has a "big idea" on how to restore decency and humanity. Of course, it consists only of removing Trump...

https://archive.vn/v0rbw

It's really not a big idea and obviously run-of-the-mill TDS, but someone told this asshole that his opinion matters.

I'm looking forward to the day when Trump's administration's over and they'll try to act like they'll miss him like they're doing with bush.

Well a lot of people over the years said that civilization as we know it will devolve into '1984' by George Orwell then.

This is where I disagree, the way I see it, it's only inevitable that civilization as we know it will devolve into this dystopia at this point and there's nothing that anyone can do about it anyway.

It's more likely to become Brazil or South Africa at this rate.

 

[Ghostse]

Its all going to come down to where you are on the income chart.

Rememeber, when you're rich the only real difference between living in the US and living in Nigeria is how much you have pay the maid.

The Swine Flu also wasn't a variant of the seasonal flu (else the regular flu shot would have had some level of efficacy in preventing it); it still had to be isolated and researched and independently manufactured. You couldn't just inject H1N1 into a Fluzone suspension and call it a day.

Not my point, though. The point was that panicking about relaxed regulations is ridiculous is because those regulations are largely red tape. There are, of course, safety requirements and health regulations, but a lot of the wait time on drug development overall is bloated regulations and government inefficiency; the process has to be reviewed at every single step, which requires submission to government agencies, then waiting for them to get back to you. Even if everything goes perfectly you're in for a lot of downtime.

A new vaccine can be produced within months, but the approval process at every step easily doubles development time. Even the seasonal flu -- a vaccine which is rolled out like clockwork every year and is generally proven not to kill people -- has a roughly eight month lead time due to regulations, which is why the flu vaccine is based on best guesses from the previous year's flu season. The lead time is so long they have to make it in February and hope it's still relevant by September (and god help you if a second flu strain shows up).

Eliminating those regulations and prioritizing review doesn't equate to the vaccine being developed hastily and wantonly.

Of course, I wouldn't dismiss anybody's personal trepidation or say it should be mandatory or even try to convince anybody to go get one-- I'm not interested in getting a coronavirus shot, either. But saying that trying to get a first wave of a vaccine out by October is by itself a bad idea and must mean that they didn't test it is absurd. (Especially since they're talking about getting distribution approval from the CDC. The CDC kind of needs comprehensive testing information before they can approve something to enter mass production.)


Hmm. Laying down that infrastructure would add on to production time. That's fair.

Only speaking for myself but my issue is not red tape being cleared away for this specific vaccine or any other vaccine. My concern with all of them is that they are not legally liable. That's concerning for any vaccine, especially one that Western medical professional prognosticators have been incorrect about from the start of this whole outbreak.


Good move on Trumps end, since even if there are moderate to long term negative effects from it they won't show up until after the election. A left leaning friend of mine, who cannot support Trump do to him being unpresidential said "Trump wins if he puts out a vaccine before the election". It's a smart political move, but I don't want it.

I'm not sure, but I believe all vaccine manufacturers are indemnified unless the vaccine is made improperly. You can't sue any vaccine manufacturer for any vaccine's side effects. So if the manufacturer gets an impurity into the vaccine during manufacture, and you get sick from that, you can sue. If you get a vaccine and end up with a side effect, tough shit.

ETA: I just checked, I'm right. This vaccine is legally no different.

Yeah. That's a problem imo.

 

[The Great Chandler]

You know, say Western civilization collapses, where the hell do we go? Is a Trump reelection only slowing down the inevitable or stopping it? I don't want to live in no dystopia, but this doomer look into the future is pretty disheartening.

 

[Karl der Grosse]

If that principle was changed, there would quickly be zero manufacturing of vaccines. Every company that made them would be bankrupted by lawsuits.

 

[thismanlies]

Jesus fucking Christ, now I don’t want to vote out of fucking principle.

If you don't like either of them, vote third party. This year it'll be a middle finger to the people who make this kind of garbage.

If that's true doesnt that imply something is wrong with vaccines? I mean.. apply that to cars, or refrigeration, or airplane manufacturers. Would buy a car from a company that was not liable? Not to say nobody should ever take a vaccine but any sensible person has to see why that set up could possibly raise concerns.
