Comment Twitter are wrong (Score 1) 383

Wait wait wait! I've read a heap of Slashdot comments in my time and I totally know the most appropriate comments to use here!

Nobody is affecting Twitter's free speech. Free speech is freedom of speech, not freedom from consequences.

If they don't like the legal system, why don't they just go and create their own legal platform?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Well.... this particular vaccine has actually been under development for several years. I lack full understanding (as 99.9% of ./ commenters) but I understand it's quite a novel approach for a vaccine and is essentially using a well tested delivery mechanism that is slightly modified to hunt a particular virus.

So in short, they've been creating the vaccine to target an infectious disease ahead of time, but without targeting a specific infectious disease. They therefore had an 80% or so confidence it would work and with those odds, it makes sense to advance manufacture it so it is ready to go the second it is proved to be effective.

What's with the use of "y'all" everywhere lately?

Hate to break it to you, but unless you're from the deep South, it doesn't make you sound sassy, whimsical, adorable or smart and instead just singles you out as an unimaginative bandwagon-jumping sheep.

(It's also probably cultural appropriation, so check your privilege pls)

Submitter is British and obviously a smug fucking prick as he reads The Guardian - therefore exactly the type of person to say "discuss" as if to illustrate his moral superiority by virtue signalling.

Note to submitter: If you read this, sorry if I made you choke on your cale and quinoa hummus salad. I just dislike smug pricks.
