Sometimes I feel the unwelcome itch to google people from high school, but I never scratch it. I don’t need to know which ones are criminals now or not. I would rather continue thinking of them as the way they were.
I occasionally look back at my yearbook, it’s coming up on 30 years soon, and it’s amazing how few people I remember at this point. I could Google them, but what would be the point?
I was a member of reddit for 15 years and accumulated 150K in karma. 1 week ago, I was shadowbanned - probably because I suggested kbin.social multiple times. No reason, no warning - just total ban. I can still logon but nobody else can see my posts or history. F**kers.
This was actually a major confounding factor in the original marshmallow experiment. They never thought that kids wouldn’t trust the promise of additional marshmallow later.
The weirdest thing about this whole antivaxx movement is that it has spread to Europe too. Greece has conscription, so 90%+ of greek males have served in the greek military. And almost all of them got vaccinated with a trillion vaccines, including ones against gozzila(you can never be too safe). And thats on top of whatever vaccines babies usually receive.
Noone complained about it. There was some antivaxx movement before but with covid, everyone went crazy with the vaccines. Suddenly vaccines were evil, noone knew what they had in them, it’s a global conspiracy. Everyone became a vaccine expert.
America needs to stop exporting their brain rot, we already have enough on our own.
No one complained about it because there wasn’t a national, or global, effort telling people to blindly rebel against it.
It’s the hive mind hardcore right mindset these days. Drum up something for the pawns to run around screaming and they will willingly volunteer their time, money, freedom, and lives so the elites running the movement can retain wealth and power
You say it spread to Europe from the U.S., but it’s kind of the other way around. The whole anti-vaxx movement was—although not started—heavily popularized by Andrew Wakefield, a medical scientist who very publicly brought criticism against the MMR vaccine (with an unethical study which lied about the condition of many of his patients) about it potentially causing autism. Remember, not too many years ago being autistic was seen as something so much worse than it is. In the meantime, he was being very privately paid off to produce a study for a lawyer who wanted proof that a certain vaccine could have caused medical complications, so he could win a law suit. There was a huge vaccine scare in Europe about MMR, and eventually it spread to America. However, as the anti-MMR-vaccine idea spread, it grew to become anti-vaccine. Wakefield, now rejected from the scientific community, had little other way to stay afloat financially than by pandering to his audience, shifting his message from anti-MMR to anti-vaxx.
I don’t think I’ve ever been referred to as female outside of someone being creepy… I also haven’t heard men referred to as „males“ outside of bad romance novels either. You may now downvote :P
For anyone genuinely wondering, this is a preauricular pit -- a birth defect that could rarely signal other, bigger issues but which is usually harmless by itself. It's just a random opening, it doesn't even connect to anything.
Excuse me, but as a middle child, I have to absolutely object to that last statement. Middle children have their own unique sibling/personality complexes. :P
Oh wait, I don’t exist. Wow, that’s a stealthy, mean joke. That cuts, fam.
I think it was less a joke about how middle children don't exist and more a joke about how middle children are often forgotten about compared to the oldest/youngest
Don't exist until they're gone ... I'm a middle child in a family of eight ... mom kept an eye on the baby and the oldest ... as long as there was six in the middle, no one really cared who they were until that number of middle children decreased.
