  • I dont really know what the solution is.

    The harder you mandate it, the more people will get nutty about it.

    I do feel that anti-vax nutters are internalising the benefits of vaccinations (by benefiting from herd immunity) but externalising the risks (by enjoying healthcare when they get sick).

    In Australia unvaccinated kids dont get government support for things like day care or parenting payments et cetera.

    I employed a young woman who was earning $700 a week buy paying $500 a week for day care because they refused to vaccinated her. They were living on the husband’s salary. It seemed pretty bleak to me.

    Like in Australia you need to save every dollar to buy a house or retire. Sure you can have a few baubles but no one can afford $25k a year for this kind of idiocy.





  • Lately there’s been someone chopping chives every day and posting a photo of the result.

    There was a bit of a drama when someone noticed that the same photo was reused from a couple of weeks back.

    The poster said they didnt have time to do it that day but wanted to keep the streak so they just re-posted an old one hoping no one would notice.

    It was just such an amazing and engaging sequence of events and I feel fulfilled having been able to follow this roller coaster of emotion /s.
