  • If the polio vaccine happened today:

    “Salk’s Menace” Vaccine Spreads Fear

    As the nation’s newly adopted vaccine against poliomyelitis, the inactivated poliovirus (IPV) shot, began to circulate, reports of its alleged dangers were already being touted by concerned citizens.

    “This is just another example of Big Pharma trying to control our bodies,” declared Agnes Johnson, a local mother of five, who claimed she had “lived” with the symptoms of the vaccine. “I’ve been hearing stories from friends and family of children who suffered from ‘long-term’ effects” from receiving the shot.

    At a recent public health meeting in Brooklyn, Dr. John Smith, a prominent anti-vaxxer, presented his research on what he called “the true story” behind the IPV. He alleged that Salk had “tainted” the vaccine with experimental ingredients, and that the vaccine was being aggressively pushed by government agencies to cover up its supposedly disastrous effects.

    “I’ve seen patients come in with symptoms that were clearly caused by the ‘new’ shot,” Dr. Smith said, his voice filled with conviction. “We’re being told it’s just a minor risk, but I’m telling you, this is not safe.”

    As the vaccine continued to gain acceptance across the country, another vocal critic, Rev. John Williams, took to the pulpit to warn of the alleged dangers of mass vaccination. “We are being herded onto the ‘tragedy’ of the Salk shot,” he declared to a packed church. “We must stand up against this medical monolith and reject the experimental treatments.”

    Meanwhile, health officials were left scrambling to address the growing public outcry, as reported cases of vaccine-induced illness began to rise. As the nation’s top medical leaders struggled to counter the growing misinformation, Dr. Salk himself was quick to respond. “The science is on our side,” he said in a recent press conference. “We are confident that our vaccine will do more good than harm.”

    Despite this reassurance, anti-vaxxers remained resolute in their claims of a government-led conspiracy, citing the supposedly “mysterious” circumstances surrounding the vaccine’s development and distribution.

    As the debate over the new vaccine continues to rage, one thing is certain: the battle over public health will not be won by the voices of reason, but by the loudest and most fervent of critics. The true story of Salk’s menance is just beginning to emerge – stay tuned for further updates.





  • If it was planes: then the FAA would be looking up whomever it is and slamming them in court and otherwise. Look at typical airspace violations – they pounce on the offenders extremely quickly and there are immediate consequences. There is an immense amount of radar coverage over the US and any “mystery plane” not flying with their ADS-B transponder can be met with a response up to and including fighter jets being scrambled.

    Regarding drones, it’s pretty much a weekly occurrence that some numbnuts flies a drone in restricted airspace. The FAA have gotten very good at tracking down these folks.

    So basically, both of your theories happen routinely and our government is very practiced at dealing with them.






  • RPCS3 will RUN on a Raspberry Pi, but that doesn’t imply a playable framerate. <30FPS at some gritty resolution doesn’t meet the threshold for me. There’s some laws of physics at play here. The Pi 5 can’t muster up enough cycles to look nice and have a playable framerate. I’m glad the emulator is going to prioritize ARM, but this is more a move for the future vs today. Perhaps the Raspberry Pi 8 will have enough horsepower to actually do the job properly, and we’re seeing the beginnings of that ship today.





  • Sure, to think the Air Force / Army etc would tolerate such a blatant violation of their airspace with NO RESPONSE is crazy. It’s not like they have to fly 5000 miles like you said. They are literally right there. If America was really this powerless against drones in our airspace, then Iran, etc. would be dropping grenades on our power stations in 2 seconds. We’d be totally owned. This is VERY CLEARLY either the government themselves, or something done with the government’s agreement.

    Another point – if these drones are so secret and spooky, why are many of them flying with FAA compliant safety lights? Iran / aliens worried about mid-air collisions? Awfully nice of them!




  • Why do right-wing people tend to portay the government as incompetent boobs EXCEPT when it’s convenient? They are too inept to do anything, except they can easily staff, coordinate and orchestrate a nation-wide roundup and subsequent detainment of tens of thousands of people.

    For this conspiracy to be true, tens of thousands of Americans would already have to be in on the plan and you would see large construction projects (that are easily observed) located in each and every state. Just like the moon landing being faked, it would rely on so many people keeping the story perfectly secret, even though the scale of it would need to be breathtaking for the conspiracy to be true.
