    That time the BBC fooled its audience into thinking spaghetti grew on trees

    FDA approves the emergency use of chloroquine for COVID-19

    "I know I am but what are you?" I think it is pretty clear to anyone here who retains a modicum of intellectual honesty, that I am in the free speech party. Ars has been good in that regard, on the whole. But I am starting to fear for them.

    FDA approves the emergency use of chloroquine for COVID-19

    "Insulted by a moron" != "Outed as a hypocrite" Meanwhile, toom1975 at least cannot be called a hypocrite, as he did his cut-and-paste once again.

    FDA approves the emergency use of chloroquine for COVID-19

    If they were actually going by those rules, you'd be long gone too. Toom1975 cuts and pastes a standard response to any idea he doesn't like, and has admitted to being a species of troll. I don't particularly mind inventive trolls, it is the waste of space by repetetive cretins that irritates me.

    FDA approves the emergency use of chloroquine for COVID-19

    It was never funny. Just the people who pushed it most realised it applied to them and those they loved. But it was always and remains real.

    Authors fume as online library “lends” unlimited free books

    Amateur for a reason, probably. Actual authors have to make a living. You can easily make your own masterpieces available for free download if you want. Hope the server doesn't collapse.

    Florida bucks social distancing trend as COVID-19 cases skyrocket

    Perfect Ars upvotes too. Let's wait and see how it actually goes. And since you're good with pissing on peoples' graves, you won't mind when we piss on yours.

    Coronavirus: Is it too much to ask for an actual plan?

    Referendums are easier in smaller, non-federated countries. Here in Ireland, we are not on a hair-trigger like the Swiss, but we have them regularly. We both banned abortion and repealed the ban inside the last 40 years. In recent times we allowed gay marriages and did away with birthright...

    US now top site of corona infections as a control plan emerges

    Maybe that's the fundamental dilemma with this disease: It's possible that sure, a more or less asymptomatic majority will be blockers when it becomes endemic in the population - but until then they are great spreaders of it. And thus we are inevitably falling between two stools - barring a...

    We are often told what sources rabish12 considers unreliable, not even to be repeated. [And we're not talking Alex Jones.] Now we have a curious example of the opposite.
