I was abused by my christian parents.
I would like to live long enough to see humanity mature out of superstition and free the world from human greed.
If you’re actually sorry, stop spreading the brainrot.
There is no correct interpretation of the bible, it contradicts itself. By normalizing lying, you enable situations like the tragedy described above.
And my friends’ suicides. Your death cult’s body count rises each day. They’re not in heaven. We will never meet again. You sell false hope at the expense of real life.
Fuck you for choosing death.
Truly progressive people don’t give a shit about church doctrine. Arbitrary authority and death cults belong in the past. Magic isn’t real. Stop holding us back. Stop killing us.
I can’t imagine simultaneously thinking of people as sheep and being disappointed in how sheeplike they act.
But that’s the whole point. We are disappointed in them for acting sheeplike, for letting someone fleece them instead of thinking more critically. They are humans and should know better.
Either way, I don’t think sheep should be exploited.
People have egg allergies and can’t get vaccines unfortunately.
Who told you that?
The amount of ovalbumin-like protein within the vaccine is extremely low (approx. 37 pg per dose) and is highly processed. While initially it was recommended that only children with a mild egg allergy could be safety vaccinated in primary care with the MMR vaccine. Multiple studies subsequently have shown that the MMR vaccine has an excellent safety record in children with an egg allergy.
Maybe there is a very, very small percentage of the population who cannot get vaccinated because of egg allergies. But that would be covered by herd immunity.
Then you have the nutters that won’t take vaxxes and then here we are.
Correct! And why are they so prevalent? Partly because the head of health and human services spent years advocating against vaccines, is himself a nutter:
The health secretary’s call for parents to vaccinate their children for measles contrasts starkly with the many years in which Kennedy has been a leading proponent of misinformation questioning the efficacy and safety of vaccinations. Even since he became the country’s top health official, he has depicted a measles vaccination as a personal choice and claimed inaccurately that the power of the inoculation is waning.
But now he doesn’t want the casualties attributed to him, so he pretends to be reasonable.
For me I had a really bad reaction to the last set of vaccines I got. I now know what Tetanus feels like in a minor way. Believe me you don’t want it, it hurts a lot.
That is unfortunate. Thank you for getting vaccinated. Some people do not have the option, it would literally kill them, as would getting certain viruses. I hope it was some kind of fluke. Do you know what the specific reaction was that caused your pain?
5 years ago, quickly contained? Noteworthy, sure, but unrelated to this article.
The question you should be asking is, “why are measles able to spread through US populations” regardless of origin? From the article:
Jha said that the dramatic rise in measles cases on Kennedy’s watch was not coincidental. “The administration has not done enough to promote vaccines. It has not done enough to highlight the harms that come from measles.”
Honestly, I’m surprised RFK Jr. changed his position at all. Some parents of children who die of measles double down on their decision not to vaccinate.
The health secretary’s call for parents to vaccinate their children for measles contrasts starkly with the many years in which Kennedy has been a leading proponent of misinformation questioning the efficacy and safety of vaccinations. Even since he became the country’s top health official, he has depicted a measles vaccination as a personal choice and claimed inaccurately that the power of the inoculation is waning.
Children are dead because of what he chose to say.
He went on to blame the outbreaks on religious communities who eschew vaccines and on global health conditions.
I mean… a broken clock is right twice a day, I suppose. But he should not be in the position he has been appointed to. More people are dying.
The fact that our lives will come to an end makes every moment we have more precious. These are unique experiences that cannot be replicated.
Easy to say, and I do believe it, but also…
Boomers like my parents chose and still choose to perpetuate abusive systems instead of opposing them. I spent too long thanking them for teaching me violence because any other reaction would be met with violence. Why am I supposed to feel grateful about being born into a backwards, burning slave world?
I am finally getting treatment for alcohol dependency. I want to stop hiding from my own life, but I don’t know how. I wasted myself on people who don’t actually care about anything but themselves. It sometimes feels like there is too much pain for anything to be worthwhile, but I am also too scared to check out early.
So… I don’t know. We have a lot of problems to solve. Things may get worse before they get better, but there is potential for things to get better. Theoretically. 🤷 I hope they get better for everyone, including you. I wish I knew.
Nah, just take one when you get the job. Then never again. For luck. 😉
I have lived in the bible belt all my life, still trying to escape. People are proud of their beliefs even though they aren’t true. “Everyone is entitled to their beliefs” is the common sentiment, but it’s wrong. Everyone is morally obligated to align their beliefs with reality as closely as they can.
That’s where science comes in. It is not an authority, not a religion, not a system. It is a process we use to acquire and refine knowledge. Given the physical limitations of our senses and minds, it is the best we can do.
People need to learn before we all die of stupid.
I was late on my first day for the same reason. 🙃 But I soon realized my mistake and worked with them for a couple of years before moving on to something else.
Yeah. The right is an audience that enjoys shit like Jeff Dunham. Less clever satire, more “HUHUHUH THE RACIST PUPPET SAID A RACIST THING I AGREE WITH UNIRONICALLY”
Try searching for communities related to your interests.
Also, I’m no longer in my underwear.
I was nervous about the phone interview (no video) for my first job, so I took a shower before it started. But I didn’t realize we were in different time zones, so the call came an hour sooner than I expected. I did the interview with a towel wrapped around me. I got the job.
Lack of integrity, inconsistent or non-existent values. They just do whatever works for them at the time. My parents are the same way.
They are falling for the lies.
Republicans lie that they are pro-life, but really they are pro-birth. If the babies don’t grow up christian, they are worthless. They don’t care about all life, they care about life that serves them. They view children as disposable and they simply have more to replace those they’ve lost. It’s unacceptable.
Nice. I think many of humanity’s problems could be solved with more effective communication. Some people act like we don’t live in the same world, which makes it very difficult to hold each other accountable for our choices.
Thank you for the pleasant interaction. I hope you also have a nice weekend. 🙂
Think critically and exercise empathy. Humanize people. Oppose ongoing abuses. Enjoy the lifelong pursuit of knowledge. The truth is a threat to them, which is why they keep spraying lies everywhere.
I think he was a harmful hatemongerer and I am glad he is dead.
But I agree about how off-putting it is for so many people to continue profiting off his death. They are scavengers milking a corpse for all they can. It’s not about respecting the person he was, it’s about shamelessly exploiting him for their own gain.
It causes needless suffering.
I’m happy with a vegan patty.
No, dipshit. I’m appealing to reason, not authority. Science is a process. Atheism is a lack of belief in unbelievable claims.
Your death cult is the one asserting to know things that cannot be known. You are the one lying and pretending it is true.
