    That’s exactly the problem. Vaccines have worked so well that people have forgotten the horrors of the diseases they prevent.

    I read an article a while back about a mother who’s little girl caught whooping cough. She hadn’t vaccinated her, but said that watching her daughter struggling to breathe was the worst thing she’d experienced and wished she had listened and given her the vaccine.

    People realize very quickly why vaccines are important, but it’s usually by experiencing it firsthand, and unfortunately it’s too late by then.


  • When a fascist “jokes” about taking and keeping more power, they’re not joking. They’re absolutely serious.

    He wouldn’t have to be elected again. He lost the vote last time and still tried to launch an insurrection to overthrow the legitimate government and maintain power. He’s learned a lot since that failed attempt. He’s dismantling the government and the checks and balances by the day. There won’t be anything left to stop him in 4 years. He will not leave willingly.










  • I work in I.T. so I’d pull technology pranks.

    • Cause a lag spike when you’re about to frag someone
    • Make your download fail 90% of the way through
    • Move your files from one place to another so you can’t find them
    • Make your phone battery run out of charge before noon

    And little stuff like

    • Make nothing happen when you click the first time
    • Make the window scroll slightly past the spot you want to go to
    • Bring a different window into focus right as you’re about to type something
