Why do not have in the first sentence?

Lemmy isn’t too much. It’s just that the people using it right are the types that will tell you how to build a clock when you ask what time it is. They give too much info instead of just linking to lemmy.world or something. That might be the problem with Linux too.

Pretty much describes the US in 1781. The Founding Fathers were essentially trying to create a viable anarchy themselves but kept having to make compromises.

Every generation is like this at that age. The hallmark of my generation, GenX, was apathy. Not that I care. Whatever. Never mind.

I was given some kind of gas once for surgery and I found it hard to breathe. I told the nurses around me that I thought I was having a panic attack and the anesthesiologist chuckled, “It’s okay. I’m giving you something for that.” Then I was out.

You’re preaching to the choir here. My point was that the anti-corporate crowd that believes companies are trying to murder their customers for profit are not normally so charitable to such a thing. It was a bizarre moment of clarity. A benefit of doubt extended to only Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson and no other corporations.

Meanwhile, the MAGA crowd that would jump off a cliff if Trump told them to, drew the line at vaccines for some reason.

It was and still is weird.

No one “seriously lectured you” on that.

Not on that but something similar. It’s called an analogy.

I suppose if you simply label all the people who interpret your comment a certain way as “bots”

It’s not just a label. It’s a logical conclusion. If I’m talking to my neighbor and I make a joke about how eating cookies will make them explode and they begin to seriously lecture me about how there is no evidence that cookies make people explode and accuse me of lying, I’m going to assume there is something mentally wrong with them. Any rational person would assume that. It’s like a Twilight Zone episode. On the Internet, if two or more people are exhibiting the same symptoms, they’re probably bots.

Fuck right the hell off with your trolling and your attempts to spread doubt.

Dang. I feel like I’m in an I Think You Should leave skit.

That was absolutely not the impression anyone would get from reading your initial comment.

They do. Most people are not as irrational and simple as you are.

Lol that’s not how that works.

Yes. It is. If you pretend to be a Nazi and spread Nazi propaganda, you are a Nazi. That’s what Mother Night is all about. But I actually got the vaccine because like most people, I didn’t want to get covid. It sounds unpleasant. And if you don’t want covid, get the vaccine.

You’re actively sowing confusion and doubt and attacking people for being pro-vaccine

You keep insisting this but it’s not true. No one except you and the bots are getting confused about this. Rational humans will never believe that vaccines will make them explode.

I mind the other part, the part where you’re discouraging people from getting vaccinated.

I’m not doing that. That’s all in your head, pal.

Yes, I’m sure bashing everyone else who got the vaccine as a brainwashed hypocrite who’s just following trends

I’m not though because the vast majority of people are not political hobbyists and they, like me, did not get the vaccine because it was fashionable. They got it because it was reasonable.

Come on, you know as well as I do that none of your comments from the very beginning have been about encouraging anyone to get vaccinated.

This is not true. But if you insist on believing it, take comfort from the lessons of Kurt Vonnegut’s Mother Night. Even if I’m pretending to encourage people to get vaccinated, it is still encouraging people to get vaccinated. You are who you pretend to be.

My rational responses will encourage people to get the vaccine. Your psychotic rants will scare them away from it.

All I can say is that I got the vaccine and I encourage others to do so too because of the evidence and not because some lunatic on the internet might call you a dickhead if you don’t.

It’s criticizing political hobbyist. I got the vaccine because it was rational to get it. You got the vaccine because it was fashionable.

Nobody took it at face value, you lying troll.

Ahhhh. I see. Bot angry! Bot smash!

The way you troll is by saying more people should be antivax

WTF! I in no way said this.

You’re just a troll. And one of the worst kinds of trolls, someone who trolls about vaccines. Your stupid little games get people killed.

This is an unhinged non sequitur. I am clearly in favor of vaccines. I am clearly pointing out how incredibly safe they are.

I’ve never heard the phrase in my life.

Google it. There are pages and pages and pages of results for it.

No, shit? Are you guys having a stroke? Should we send help?

It’s clearly a joke. Poking fun at the “Regulations are written in blood!” crowd who have to scream “It’s safe and effective!” in everyone’s faces because their very souls on the line if they’re wrong. They’re telling themselves. Especially when they’re yelling it at me.

For me, if evidence pops up years down the road that it has a statistically increased chance of causing cancer or whatever, it’s no big deal because I know regulations have to be written in blood because that blood is the evidence that there is a problem. We can’t act till we have evidence.

The question is are you perfectly okay with waiting till people start exploding? What if you explode?

Really now? It’s been thoroughly debunked that vaccines cause people to explode? I could be wrong, but I think that I am the very first person on Earth to propose that.

I’m pretty sure you’re a bot. You seem completely unable to parse my comments.
