[02:26] schestowitz[TR2] intel inside or piyush inside [02:27] schestowitz[TR2] "SURPRISE! I'm BAAAAAAAAAAAAACCCK!!" [02:29] Isambard_Prince schestowitz[TR2], I was talking to my therapist about getting screened along with the person I am now seeing. And you know, the general culture of ignorance and shame surrounding sexual health in the Philippines and even in parts of the US, like Indiana. [02:29] Isambard_Prince Like, nobody told the person I was with that anything but HIV existed, so I had to say why getting screened for other things was important, and he had to go google all of these things at age 37. [02:30] Isambard_Prince Thankfully, neither of us have anything like that. [02:30] Isambard_Prince But you need to be responsible and make sure of this. [02:31] Isambard_Prince I told my therapist that when I was 19, I had a problem, and it was news to me that STIs existed when a Chinese doctor at a walk-in clinic in Indiana had to educate me about it. [02:31] Isambard_Prince I had to go find $300 for a bottle of medicine when I made $6 an hour at Walmart. [02:31] Isambard_Prince But I found $300 once I knew what the problem was and I found $300 fast. [02:32] *oarion7 has quit (Quit: Running IRC on a charmed medieval abacus.) [02:32] Isambard_Prince They could charge $300 for medicine to kill something like this because the alternative was to keep letting that unfold. [02:33] Isambard_Prince Peter Staley is still pitching AIDS drugs that people without HIV are supposed to take daily. [02:34] Isambard_Prince And says, basically, that people who are afraid of kidney, bone, and liver damage from the drugs, are pussies. [02:34] Isambard_Prince Of course, the drug companies pay him and fund his blog. [02:34] Isambard_Prince So instead of saying hey maybe find a good mnogamous partner and get screened together, he pitches drugs for very sick people that you take daily when there's nothing wrong with you. [02:35] Isambard_Prince Ones that can hurt you badly over the years you'll likely be taking them for. [02:35] Isambard_Prince All medicine is a cost-benefit analysis. There's always risk. [02:36] Isambard_Prince My shoulder was fucked already, so the upside was that if I let the doctor work on it, it would more likely be better than worse. [02:36] Isambard_Prince If you already have HIV, and it's probably from being a big old hoebag, then the downside of taking the pills is you may get a condition 20-40 years from now, vs. a funeral in 18 months if you don't take the pills. [02:37] Isambard_Prince But you shouldn't be taking medicine like this with no tangible benefit, so you can sleep around with sketchy people. [02:37] *whatA____ (~chatzilla@5tp7bay4r63ik.irc) has joined #techrights [02:37] Isambard_Prince There's a publlc health benefit to PrEP, but public health is not your health, it's not exactly the same thing. [02:38] Isambard_Prince If there's 40,000 new HIV cases this year and they get it to 20,000 a year, that's a public health win. [02:38] Isambard_Prince But if many of the people taking the medicine end up on dialysis eventually or break bone and fall over and break more bone, then that's not a win for personal health. [02:39] Isambard_Prince I'm supportive of "PEP", which is emergency prophylaxis, which is like "I was having sex and the condom broke". Okay, you did something reasonable and it didn't go well and you'll be on medicine for a few weeks. Timely, targeted. [02:39] Isambard_Prince It's also what they do for healthcare workers who get a needle stick injury at work. [02:40] Isambard_Prince Think of the insanity of PrEP. [02:41] Isambard_Prince "We have to put you on these dangerous medications so there's a 100% chance you'll be on these dangerous medications that you might have to take if you ever did actually get the thing." [02:41] Isambard_Prince You know, by throwing Truvada and Doxycycline everywhere, the condoms come off, and the result is a public health disaster. [02:41] Isambard_Prince Right? [02:42] Isambard_Prince Enough times of people popping doxycycline, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, they adapt, right? [02:42] Isambard_Prince They don't respond to yet another antibiotic. [02:42] Isambard_Prince And they're only like 50-70% effective as PEP for those things. [02:43] Isambard_Prince Right now, doxycycline is a complete treatment plan for Chlamydia, and one of a two-part plan for drug-resistant gonorrhea. [02:43] Isambard_Prince So they're basically laying waste to an effective drug by tossing it everywhere. [02:44] Isambard_Prince MinceR, I used to play Halo over the Gamespy server. [02:44] Isambard_Prince They didn't let anyone talk or send messages, but it didn't have many words it blocked as a player name. [02:45] Isambard_Prince So I would put in "Gonorrrhea" as the player name and jump into the Banshee and crash into everyone and the message would pop up " was killed by Gonorrhea".

So if you're anti-pharma and you think drugs are toxic, you think they're bad for your body, then PrEP isn't for you," Staley explains. "And good luck with your life." [18:09] Isambard_Prince Yeah, drugs are toxic to some extent. [18:09] Isambard_Prince Some more than others. [18:10] Isambard_Prince He was pitching Truvada which can damage kidneys, bones, liver. It can make your hair fall out. [18:10] Isambard_Prince So the AIDS drugs are objectively toxic to an extent. [18:11] Isambard_Prince And framing people as anti-pharma for pointing that out, well, he does take their money does't he? [18:12] Isambard_Prince Am I against medicine because of side effects? Well, not really. If you have HIV and you will die in 18 months without AIDS drugs (most likely) then taking a medication makes sense for you and good luck with your life. [18:13] Isambard_Prince It's like if they had a medication that treated cancer that made you go through chemo side effects. Is it worth it if you're dying of cancer? Maybe. Say that the cancer has a high survival rate if you take the drug, that drug may be worth it for you. [18:13] Isambard_Prince But you wouldn't tell people who don't have cancer to take it to prevent maybe getting cancer. [18:17] Isambard_Prince Doctors in the US will tell you to takee 365 Truvada pills a year (366 on leap years of course), when there's this thing called 2-1-1 where you only take it during a risk event. Some people may only need to take as little as 4-8 pills per month, right? Not 30-31. [18:18] Isambard_Prince The doctors do't tell you how to do the more logical thing because they know that half the patients they prescribe medicine to are too stupid to do it that way because they can't count. [18:19] Isambard_Prince For example, the directions for doxy pep for the other STIs say take within 72 hours of a risk event, but not more than two pills a day. [18:19] Isambard_Prince So there's two ways you can interpret that. If you have three risk events over a weekend, you can cover all three with two pills on the last day. [18:19] Isambard_Prince Or you can take two pills each day for all three days. [18:20] Isambard_Prince Either one will work, the last one goes through more of your medication and risks more unpleasant side effects of doxycycline. Like, diarrhea and a nasty rash from being exposed to sunlight. [18:22] Isambard_Prince With HIV/AIDS risk there's ways to cut or effectively eliminate that without taking any medicines. Like serosorting. This one really pisses off people like Staley, because you both go take a test (or they give them out for free and you can do it at home) and then you have a pretty good idea (barring the 90 day window period). If everyone did this, HIV would burn itself out. [18:23] Isambard_Prince There just would not be enough new infections to sustain it. It would go the way of B/Yamagata influenza. [18:24] Isambard_Prince You can't get there from here, as people from Maine say. [18:25] Isambard_Prince Most Indiana counties have slashed their HIV testing budget to where there's nowhere to get tested and their war on women has also shut down all but two Planned Parenthood locations. [18:26] Isambard_Prince We've seen an explosion of Syphilis, Gonorrhea, and Chlamydia in the US, since 2000. They used to have widespread free test and treat clinics. They started shutting them down due to budget cuts. The cases doubled between 2000 and 2010, then they doubled again since 2010. [18:27] Isambard_Prince So cutting testing does this. When people can make informed decisions it breaks the cycle of infection. But now you have a generation that's totally ignorant of STIs going around giving them to each other because school doesn't even mention them and they'd have to go pay a doctor to get a test. [18:28] Isambard_Prince What's going on out there is pretty gross. You know, the rise of filthy sex apps and a hookup culture alongside a collapse in public health funding. [18:29] Isambard_Prince schestowitz[TR2] mentioned Grindr being used potentially for blackmail. It's so much worse than that. [18:29] Isambard_Prince They sell data about who you have sex with and your HIV status and stuff to Facebook. Nobody knows what all they do with it. [18:30] Isambard_Prince Certainly the government can get it. The police use it to bait people. [18:30] Isambard_Prince They had a Chief Privacy Officer, at one point, and when he said this, they fired him. [18:30] Isambard_Prince He filed a lawsuit against Grindr "LLC" and I don't know where that went. [18:31] Isambard_Prince Like Roy said, they set up LLCs when it means they plan ahead to commit crimes and then the worst thing that happens is they scuttle the company if there's a day of reckoning, and they learned this from their friends in Finance. [18:33] Isambard_Prince It's not like nobody used online message boards and chatrooms to hook up before Grindr and smartphones, but now there's apps that are only used for this, instead of a more ad hoc system that was appropriated for that purpose and harder to track because it was not intended to be used that way. [18:35] Isambard_Prince Grindr started off like Tiktok, as a Chinese company, so the US government threatened that it would shut down Grindr because China was getting compromising info about Americans, including Americans with security clearances so high they'd have to kill themselves if they remembered they had the security clearance. [18:35] Isambard_Prince But now that it's the American government that can do that, it's not a problem. :P [18:37] Isambard_Prince MinceR, Greg Bovino and CBP headed to North Carolina. [18:37] Isambard_Prince They're pulling out of Chicago because the courts are ruling against them here. [18:37] MinceR curious [18:38] MinceR have they forgot to escalate to the Court With Sour Cream And Tomatoes? [18:39] Isambard_Prince And telling them to stop attacking people and that the way they were arresting people was illegal and to release them all on home monitoring. [18:39] Isambard_Prince So now that it's a burden on ICE they've left and gone to bother someone else.

[18:47] Isambard_Prince And now that Epstein thing was the last straw for Trump and he's telling people to primary her. [18:48] Isambard_Prince I smell something cooking where the Democrats all rush to the polls to support Greene considering they know that her district is gerrymandered. [18:48] Isambard_Prince I probably would if I lived in that district. [18:50] Isambard_Prince It's probably not a mistake. I think she knows which way the wind is blowing after this year's off cycle elections. [18:50] Isambard_Prince Her voters might be conservatives in the bible belt but when they lose their food and healthcare and they're mad at the party, she might get pulled down with the rest.

Learn more about what you can expect to pay and how to find free or low-cost flu vaccines." [18:52] Isambard_Prince They're about $26 at Costco with GoodRX Gold if you don't have insurance. [18:52] Isambard_Prince Jamie Zawinski wanted to have CVS send out a person to do a flu shot pop up clinic at his nightclub. [18:54] Isambard_Prince He figured they were "free" but what it meant was free with insurance. [18:54] Isambard_Prince I said, "Don't people in San Francisco have health insurance?" They do, even if you're uninsured the city covers you. [18:54] Isambard_Prince He said, "Yeah, but most of them don't carry their cards with them." [18:55] Isambard_Prince I said, "Why would you risk going to a hospital unconscious with no health insurance card?" [18:55] Isambard_Prince And he blocked me, again.

Ro Khanna, D-Calif., and Thomas Massie, R-Ky." [21:39] Isambard_Prince This is rapidly getting away from Trump. [21:39] Isambard_Prince Thomas Massie and Marjorie Taylor Greene are turning on him and want to release all of the Epstein Files. [21:40] Isambard_Prince There's only one reason why Trump doesn't want them released and that would be because there's some very damning shit in there about him. [21:40] Isambard_Prince If it was only about other people, he wouldn't care.

[21:41] Isambard_Prince Trump is clearly at the center of Epstein's sex trafficking ring. Prince Andrew was only confirmed to have paid to rape a 17 year old girl which is pretty bad, but I think with Trump he likes them a lot younger than that. [21:41] Isambard_Prince So he's even more twisted than Prince Andrew.

[22:01] Isambard_Prince The point of flu shots isn't to necessarily prevent the flu. It's to keep people from getting very sick and hospitalized or dying. [22:01] Isambard_Prince My mother doesn't seem to understand this, she has this it either works 100% or it does nothing because some people still get the flu. [22:01] MinceR birth control is a far more effective way to keep people from getting sick or hospitalized or dying [22:01] Isambard_Prince And that isn't how it works. And that's why some years it's 60% effective and other years it may be 20%, but usually 40-50%. [22:02] Isambard_Prince You get a milder case of the flu. [22:02] Isambard_Prince That's why you get the flu shot. [22:02] Isambard_Prince I can understand this. It's not a difficult concept. [22:02] Isambard_Prince But she goes "Well I saw people get the flu anyway!". [22:03] Isambard_Prince Well, it wasn't meant to stop that. It was meant to keep them from getting sicker than they got. [22:03] Isambard_Prince It's a layered approach. You get the flu shot, then if you get the flu you go pick up some antivirals as well. [22:03] Isambard_Prince Tamiflu or something. [22:04] Isambard_Prince But I encourage people to take 1,000 mg of Vitamin C even when they're well, and depending on if they're getting their Vitamin D levels checked or not, maybe up to 5,000 IU per day if they are or up to 2,000 IU per day if they're not. [22:04] Isambard_Prince Vitamin D deficiency leads to more severe cases of respiratory illness, including flu, pneumonia, and COVID. [22:05] Isambard_Prince Vitamin C helps with the Common Cold and possibly others, but in the Common Cold studies, it didn't do anything unless you were already on it before the symptoms began. [22:05] Isambard_Prince Even if you were already taking it, the ones that already took it maybe had a Cold that went on for 1 less day, on average. [22:06] Isambard_Prince It's not nothing, and it is cheap enough to take every day just in case. [22:06] Isambard_Prince You can get almost two years worth of these Vitamin C tablets for about $13. [22:07] Isambard_Prince People take Tamiflu for the flu and pay more than that for an anti-flu drug that shortens the flu about a day. [22:07] Isambard_Prince And that's only if you start taking it within the first 48 hours after symptoms start. [22:07] Isambard_Prince So you have to race to the doctor or the prescription is useless. [22:07] Isambard_Prince I have some flu/COVID tests on hand, always. [22:08] Isambard_Prince That way I can just get on the telehealth thing and say if I tested positive and get the drugs right away. [22:08] Isambard_Prince That way there's no treatment delay while I make my way to a clinic. [22:08] Isambard_Prince And those clinics are sort of dangerous too because you sit there waiting next to the people who have everything else and cough and hack and wheeze. [22:09] Isambard_Prince It's where all the sick people go and sit next to you while you're waiting...to see if you're sick and what it is. [22:09] Isambard_Prince I mean, think about it. :) [22:10] Isambard_Prince MinceR, Go fill this out and then sit over there for an hour cloistered next to all the people with flu, COVID, pneumonia, bronchitis, and god knows everyone else.
