Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

The article doesn't go into it, but the university's published perspective adds that the cure is that a bone marrow transplant he got for non-HIV reasons turned out to come from a person with natural HIV immunity.

If you could aspire to solve one thing for humanity, what would it be?

It's okay if it's not the most logical thing but rather something that has impacted you or your loved ones, etc. I.e. Something that would drive your passion and pursuit of solving it.

Remove people's ability to insulate themselves from the consequences of causing harm to others. In a word: accountability.

Decree that all furniture must have soft, rounded, cushy edges so my pinky can safely find it at night on a zombie run to the bathroom.

Lack of empathy. As society we could do so much if we started caring for each other, working to lift everyone to the same level.

Sorry of I miss something, but what does that have to do with the topic of this article?

Your comment kinda sound what a clueless LLM would post on r/AskReddit to farm karma (no offense if you are human, it is just what it looks like).

OP didn't reply, so you're likely right.

Is greed an answer? I'd go with our greed.

Is that a form of vaginophobia?

Good choice!

Maybe energy? Or food? Housing? Just... That "one thing"™️ that seems to be the biggest cause for everyone to be at war all the fucking time.
