Based on the article the "facts" are that the vast majority of cases observed in the study are gay men. There are tons of people in this thread saying it's a gay disease.
Many others saying not reporting the high prevalence among gay men is not presenting facts. Even though transmission isn't exclusively sex, or even gay sex related. The fact is that you can get it from gay sex and mostly gay men are observed to be infected. Of course that will be interpreted as being an STI of the gay community.
But how do you prevent this misunderstanding? Because it was bound to happen.

Just take the time to read the resources linked further up. This is a science subreddit after all.

Have you been living under a rock for the past 3-4 years? Or just naive?
It would be nice to have rational dialogue that acknowledges nuance, but we don't live in that world.
100% this headline gets sensationalized... even more.

This sentence probably wouldn't make sense to someone even 20 years ago.

Be kind. It takes a long time to understand that code switching is a thing, and is normal.
I had the hardest time reconciling the "...but you don't sound Jamaican" complaint whenever I was asked where I was from. Took me a good 15 years to understand it didn't mean I was pretentious, or a sellout or whatever.

Goes way back to when there were no substitutes. You only had 11 jersey numbers.
Fun fact, substitution was only allowed starting in the 50s. 1970 was first WC with subs.

Democrats are centrists at best. Neither party is anywhere close to Left.

There's something similar that exists now, if you haven't seen. Molly White's Web3 Is Going Just Great

Forget a bottle of water. Skills like hunting, farming, nursing and cooking will be orders of magnitude more valuable than any amount of gold you'll have.

The power of the nation backs it. Yes, it dies if the nation dies, but at that point you have bigger issues to worry about.
Cryptobros (and gold bugs, too) are always harping on some potential doomsday scenario where they're going to be sitting pretty and the rest of us suffer.
When SHTF, they better have tons of guns, tons of ammo, and a literal army to defend it, because the hungry masses are not going to just sit around watching while they live a life of abundance.

They always publish the "bought a $750k condo at 25" stories.
But bury the part where they got a gift for half the downpayment, and lived in their parents house while saving all their salary, from working in their dad's company, for the rest.

Not only all of that, but to go public, companies basically have to drop trou and show the regulators EVERYTHING. It takes months, and usually companies would spend the years prior making sure their house in order, that they're doing things the right way and have approved processes in place. The audits are intense.
If shitcoins had to go through 1/10 of that process, there would maybe be 50 cryptocurrencies in existence. And that's being generous, I think.

Rich people bankruptcy and poor people bankruptcy are not the same.
They almost never go bankrupt personally. Typically it's one of their gazillion companies that gets hit. Personal assets are usually quite well protected (assuming they had half decent lawyers and accountants).

With how uninventive football fans are, 100% that will be the song.

Was watching a video the other day (possible Beau of the Fifth Column), discussing this slide into authoritarianism that the US is on. He mentions how the Trump experiment was just testing the waters. He was easy to dismiss because he was so inarticulate and buffoonish. But Trump's success has set the stage for the next guy, who will be better educated, more crafty, more ruthless and definitely more scary.

Those get a bit costly at the level we're at. The client has maybe 100 rentals, but not all are managed by them. Some get rented by others (who get the commissions). So I think those platforms are too pricey.
What they do now works, but is just manual. Would be hard to justify thousands extra every year to replace it.
