Most viruses are bacteriophages, as in they infect (and typically kill) bacteria and typically a specific kind. There are viruses inside of you right now that’re dormant/suppressed by your immune system, and there are viruses (retroviruses, no I don’t just mean HIV) that have actually surreptitiously slipped DNA into your genome, for good or ill.
It’s simply another facet of life.
IIRC, the Soviets tried to develop a different form of anti-biotics using bacteriophages to target specific bacteria that’re deadly to us. No idea if this has gone anywhere since, but it’d be a neat idea to bypass anti-biotic resistance.

I’m sick as hell too sven, with a coof, and gallons of peppermint tea is helping (I now realize why britbongs can’t live without an electric kettle). It’s a mild expectorant, soothes the throat and keeps you hydrated. Now if only I had something that helped with the fatigue and brain fog, that shit fucking sucks. Get well soon borther
Peppermint tea is excellent. I approve this message.

Don’t discredit ANUS Brett Stevens. His edgy for the time politics lead me to here in the end. I also felt very smug and elite at the time for liking whatever he told me was supreme, elitist, neoclassical Aryan art. And more importantly, declaring nearly everyone else a dumb pleb for not appreciating the likes of Demilich and Maeror Tri.

Trying to say that a virus isn’t alive, without first defining alive, is just trying to sound smart.
We don’t have time to do dumb ontological spergery, a virus can “stay alive” on certain material, but “dies” in contact with sterilization agents, like UV light, alcohol or anti-biotics.
Good point. Always wondered how viruses can be “dead” without also having been at one time alive. They’re organic material subject to natural selection, so as far as I’m concerned they’re alive.

*killing the host is not a good adaptation* tell that to the kikes, how many cases till that changes
I’m not talking about the casinos. I’m talking about the beaners giving out business cards with porno images on them, 10 dollar bottles of water and 11 dollar charge to use an ATM. The prices have gotten out of control. I didn’t even plan the trip there. Went to visit family and they put us up in a hotel on the strip for a couple nights and nothing is even remotely affordable. It’s like sporting event prices.
The strip has always been a touristy ripoff. Fremont street is better; it’s still Vegas though. There’s a lot of bullshit in any part of that city. My bro lives there & loves it. But he knows where to go.

Viruses are not alive, they are parasitic proteins with nucleic acids.
The arguments for viruses not being life is without parasitizing its host cell it has no method of reproduction or energy generation. While viruses will meet some definitions of life they lack others and are not classified as life.
One hypothesis for viral origin is a holdover from early development of nucleic acids and their uptake by early bacteria, just as bacteria presently spread genes for antibiotic resistance; however this hypothesis may be out of date now.

the idea that viruses are not alive is such a meme. they’re totally a living creature, non-viral chauvinism at it’s worst. You need other humans to reproduce too, it’s not like viruses are special for needing something else to kickstart the reproduction process.

Demilich does rule, though.
Definitely. Some of those out there song titles and lyrics that death metal has ever seen.
virus isnt an organism and is more like a printing machine that found a way to take your protein to print itself from.
mRNA printer go brrr.

It’s not alive according to the widely agreed on criteria for life. It’s a pseudo-life form, much like yourself.

everything’s alive, man. even rocks and dirt
I’ve taken mushrooms, too
If you want to experience the true black pill, take a trip to Las Vegas.
Or just any casino / horse racing track
I disagree, I went to Vegas and had a decent time. Yeah it’s a jewish built casino place but they got really big swimming pools.

Virus hands typed this
Each adult human bahhdy contains over a pound of bacteria at any one time.
What if you drink probiotics?
Your tummy will contain a little more until the next time you take a dump.
Sven still giving his best with the manflu shows his dedication to the friend simulator.
