You’re not wrong. The parents chose not to vaccinate, and vaccines almost certainly would have prevented this outcome. Where I’m struggling is the “serves them right” attitude when it wasn’t the parents who paid for their mistake- it was a small child with no say in the matter. It’s possible to feel anger towards the parents (though it doesn’t change anything at this point) and still have empathy for the actual victim.

Sorry, what do you mean their choice? I hope by them you mean the parents, because the poor girl had no chance.

It’s nice to be able to see Canadian flags again without worrying about the person with it being an anti-vaxxer.

If something takes more than 4 years it gets lumped into “never” territory because no political party wants the next party to get credit for their work.

Guarantee it took Germany more than 4 years to recover their reputation (and even then, not enough to do well in Eurovision).

Teeth are considered luxury bones.

I think this used to be the case but there’s been some really hateful rhetorics coming from the conservative side recently. Things like life in prison without parole for drug users. Yikes.

Robin Hood only took money from the rich. Luigi took life (allegedly), and scared the other rich folks enough to allow some life (healthcare) for the plebs for some short time.

Oh my goodness, I didn’t consider the expeditious brain drain that the US can expect now. I shudder to think what the average intelligence of the country will be after those who are in a position to do so leave- the global standing in numerous fields of research must just be plummeting right now.

I think it’s Jaguar. They’re doing a bonkers rebranding right now where you can’t tell what the ads are trying to sell.

How do people survive summers without it?? Need those electrolytes.

Can I recommend chiakideck? Playing PS5 games in bed using the steam deck is awesome, if there are any games that you have on console that you don’t want to repurchase

Or a communist, if anyone wants to spread the rumor!

That 25% magic number

I think even a plane crash where no one was hurt is more headline-worthy than a train crash with no one hurt. Fear sells, and many people have a fear of flying.

What happens a lot more frequently is landing gear failures or engine problems that still have a smooth landing. They do pull out all the stops though and will have emergency response on standby the moment they aren’t sure the landing gear deployed properly.

Dude! Why have I not thought of this???

You might enjoy Town of Salem then!

Backpack Heroes?

And missing extremities? Are we against employing disabled veterans? I thought we loved the military?

She did sign that executive order designating everyone as female, too.
