But what, and hear me out, hear me out hear, what if that shot all those years ago was actually part of a plot spanning across all political parties and involving millions of government employees and the plot was to give us a shot to minimize unnecessary death BUT that shot hurt a little bit and I don't like ouchies so, and hear me out, what if we don't get the shit and protest it but come up with a better excuse than disliking ouchies?
"don't leave, hear us out, don't leave, hear us out, hear us out, hear us out. Sushi Glory Hole, imagine that.
Or it was part of a plot to put oligarchs with vested financial interests in control of the US government?
...Oh, right, we got that already.
Remember when giving a shit about others was touted as a virtue?
Empathy is Weakness, Ignorance is Strength, Equality is Woke.
I don’t think it ever was actually. At least I don’t remember anything like that. Do you remember something?
Children’s TV shows
Ohh well during my times we had this fearful dog, powerpuff girls, samurai jack I guess and Dexter? Ah and ed edd and eddy
Idk maybe I missed some messages in them
I guess there was also this stupid Czech thing where this animal who digs in the soil whatever it is called in English was having all sorts of stupid stuff happening
Well and the Tom and Jerry too I think?
They don't like being reminded.
When was that? Surely you don't mean the 50's?
Generally, when we were kids, whenever that may have been. We were taught that sharing and compassion were good things.
That's fair, and in that case I'm glad that it never stopped being touted as a virtue.
Even if there have always been selfish idiots who fail to learn that lesson ruining it for the rest of us.
Not my generation, no. It was always about enterprising and cunning more like. Something like American dream and all that. Get rich and stuff. I really don’t think many people were raised with a focus on altruistic values. It was singular kids that seemed to be kind when others were rather trying to climb the elementary school social ladder and were taught that money is the measure of all
I was taught loyalty is very important personally and that kinda bite me in the butt in the end
The polio vaccine was extremely effective and polio was very nasty. It also affected kids.
Jonas Salk was a man who understood the point of science and life
If these losers family from the early 20th century were still alive they would curb stomp everyone of them.
My fringe theory is all antivaxxers are just terrified of needles and playing the long con. They act like wimps so it tracks.
i genuinely think this plays a major factor. vaccines are unpleasant to get and you receive a subset of the symptoms of the actual disease for your trouble (because the symptoms are your immune reaction to having a disease, and the vaccine is like a scrimmage practice). a lot of these chucklefucks simply don't understand that while the vaccine isn't fun, it's far more enjoyable than dying of the disease. they'll even plan on just avoiding sick people or justify they have strong healthy bodies and don't need to worry (even though a strong healthy vaccinated body is the ideal place to stop a spread)
that is 100% the case.
I just hold a crystal these days.. no money hold a crystal.. cat's fucked hold a crystal. Measles.. hold a crystal. Do I need to add the /s tag?
yeah; crystal people always have money, and don't acknowledge bad situations.
