I also enjoy that she mentions that she wants her daughter to develop naturally and only have natural things in her body because as well all know nature definitely has our best interest at heart. That's why you should give your baby mistletoe berries and death caps as well as exposing them to **natural** things like polio and measles. The cat is the babysitter maybe?

Why is it that people think nature knows best for us, or somehow wants us to thrive? Nature is cold and brutal and bloody and all but the simplest organisms murder their way to success. Plants will poison the soil and choke the roots of others. Herbivores kill their rivals. Carnivores do that while also devouring herbivores. Nature's not alive either. It doesn't have a consciousness or a will or intelligence, it's just a bunch of poo poo happening.

I... It's not like vaccines are mystery bags. I'm pretty sure you can look up how they are made, how they work, what's in them and what the adverse effects are. You want to know what the MMR vaccine is ? http://www.fda.gov/downloads/BiologicsBloodVaccines/Vaccines/ApprovedProducts/UCM123789.pdf loving buckle up and read that poo poo and the cited papers and voila you'll loving know. Of course you need to know your biology or be willing to put actual effort into it you loving piece of poo poo. After all these years on the internet, anti-vax people are the only thing that still really makes me mad  . Probably because I'm studying virology and I can tell you, those little shits run laps around our immune defenses while laughing. They are thoughtless, lifeless systems that are made to infect and spread. If they ever fail to keep up, they disappear.

Nature is a crying Native American man and by eating fair-trade organic gluten-free and by chastising those who dare eat peanuts around Kayleigh and Brayden we can abandon the curse of whiteness (autism) and become one with our inner yoni

The company I work for runs summer camps all over the US, and the New York Department of Health has decided to really enforce the immu/vax rules they've had on the books this year. So if you want any catharsis, just imagine a bunch of entitled, whiny Long Islanders getting turned away and sent home because they either didn't get their kids vaccinated or thought the rules (providing proof) didn't apply to them. It's the one thing that makes my miserable Summer weekends tolerable. Sucks for the kids though

I got this book the other day, and (not that I was anti-vax before) it has made me even more determined to vax the crap out of my boy when he arrives in October. Despite the pictures being drawn, they are horrendous (a lovingly rendererd syphillitic taint? Yes please!) and a perfect demonstration of WHY THE gently caress WE INVENTED VACCINES IN THE FIRST PLACE

"so brave" Would another approach be to approvingly compare them to those peoples in Africa and thereabouts who refuse to get Western vaccinations because they're afraid of a Jewish conspiracy to make their junk fall off? "Good on you, glad you know what's really going on in the world!" E: That depends on them being able to detect irony though, so probably not

I know Karthus in League of Legends looks different because they can't show skeletons. I imagine part of the change of Skeleton King to "Wraith King" in Dota 2 was partly influenced by this, too. Very large Chinese scene in both games. BJPaskoff posted:Brace yourselves for an incoming shitstorm on your Facebook feed, because a transgender woman was arrested for filming an 18-year-old girl trying on swimsuits at a Target in Idaho. I wonder how many cisgender people are caught doing voyeurism compared to transgender people. Of course, the former cases aren't publicized because it's not convenient. When I went to university there were two instances within the same year, and same dormitory unit, of two men spying on women in the showers. What are we going to do about them? Can we please wildly publicize those stories? I guess not, because we as a society want to give men what they want.

I used to sometimes go to this store, Loehmann's, which was sort of an upscale version of places like TJMaxx and Marshalls. Weirdly, the dressing room was one big space with mirrors everywhere, and you tried on clothes in front of a bunch of other women. When camera phones started becoming a thing, they started demanding that everyone shut their phones off in front of an employee before going in, because they had had problems with women photographing other women and then selling the photos to creeper websites. I don't ever remember seeing that on the news either.
