Can confirm. Don’t pick up at all. I used to bait scammers into trolling them and pretending I’m old and feeble to mess with them and waste their time. Guessing one of the Indian scammers got pissed off enough he must’ve put my number on every single scam call list in India because I went from 2-3 scam calls a day to over a dozen. It’s best to just not pick up the phone. If it’s not a scammer and even remotely important, they’ll leave a voicemail

Maybe rehabilitate neighborhoods then before they end up in jail. The people who don't commit crimes have to sit and be the victims of crimes in these areas only to watch their prison conditions get better while they still live surrounded by filth of a vicious cycle.

If you answer the phone you go on a list of people who actually answer and you’ll get more calls.

I'm all for sending over a few drones. It's not like we don't know how.

Let's take the place of our most heinous acts of cruelty against our own people and make it a rehab facility so people don't think about what we allowed to happen here for 100 or so years.

Reply to comment by goliath1515 in 1st woman given stem cell transplant to cure HIV is still virus-free 5 years later by BringMeInfo
You think this research happened for free? It is already being funded of course, it is just very expensive and still not suitable for everyone due to the resources required. This is the first woman to be cured, but there have been 4-5 men cured before her I believe.
It has only been used so far on patients who have the double condition of both HIV and a certain form of blood cancer, as it requires knocking out their entire immune system and replacing it with an HIV immune version

Which is one reason why I think political representatives should be like the people they represent: if our problems are their problems too, then they’re interested in finding solutions to those problems—with the added benefit of being in a position empowered to actually do something about them.

I mean it happened because it's funded, but it's not a scalable solution at this point. It might very well point us to a cure in time though, and I'm sure research is being done/funded in that direction.

I get about five or six phishing texts from these long winded strange email addresses with stupid link url's every week.
I've tried ATT's spam reporting and it does NOTHING but ask for more info that I can't get. Who the fuck knows what the "numerical address the text was from" is?
Calls to customer service tell me in broken English to follow the same procedure that doesn't work or use the "block all messages that aren't in my contact list." Which is stupid in light of two factor authentication for most secure sites that rely on my receiving a code via text.
So, it's about time, but I don't think it's enough. Service providers should be responsible, or at least accountable, for harm done by people using their system as a tool for their dirty deeds. For them to be able to simply turn a blind eye and say "gee, not our problem" as rake in the profits is unconscionable.
I assume the only reason anything is happening is some politician or bureaucrat finally got fucked by a phishing attack so NOW it's important.
