Yep, that’s how it goes with the anti-vaxx movement.

Gen 0 - lived with the reality that multiple people they knew died because of viruses and lined up to get vaxxed when they became available. Then went on to get their kids vaxxed because human ingenuity found a way to curb suffering.

Gen 1 - grow up and got their kids vaxxed because, while they might not have seen it first hand, they remember stories from their parents and were horrified. “Thank god we’re found a way to stop it!”

Gen 2 - get their kids vaxxed because they aren’t stupid, and it’s just become a routine part of raising a child.

Gen 3 - have the luxury of being so far removed from the horrific impact of these preventable virus’ that they decide vaccines should be optional because… “Don’t tell me what to do, science nerds”

Yep.

So much respect.

It’s almost seven years old, but sadly, more relevant today than it’s ever been.

Meh. Only suckers give a shit about the “generosity” of billionaires. Tax them. Tax them down to millionaire status. Why should they dictate what programs get funded? It’s never worked before… it’s not suddenly going to start now.

I mean, your own tumblr link is proof of that. After all, Gotham’s still a crime ridden shithole, isn’t it? Clearly Bruce Wayne doesn’t know what Gotham actually needs.

Seconded, but they just go by Tuta now.

Yep, it’s from a TV show called Parks & Recreation.

Yep, she was a good girl that definitely deserved better. Tasty treats? Yes. Becoming the face of Elon Musk’s neo-fascist movement? No.

The only reason you know this is satire is because it implies Trump listens to his supporters.

A cause of death hasn’t been released but he was 86 so I wouldn’t be surprised if it was just natural causes from the stress of his upcoming trial and sentencing. But damnit, he really should’ve died behind bars.

It’s a shame this robs the victim of seeing actual justice. But I would still consider one less violent racist in the world to be a win.

I should hope so! The school deserves it. Multiple people would have had to drop the ball for this to happen. It’s just baffling because they were clearly making some sort of effort to help her. I can’t believe nobody bothered to even ask if her mother had been informed.

Downvoting because of the blue checkmark.

Sorry for being so pedantic, but I don’t want to support Twitter’s pay-for-engagement system, or anything about Twitter at all, even indirectly through a screenshot.

Downvoting because of asinine slacktivism. It’s a screenshot posted in a community that’s almost entirely screenshots of tweets. Get a grip.

School officials knew Carranza was being severely bullied and sent her for multiple weekly counseling sessions. However, the officials reportedly never notified the child’s mother, who says she only found out about the abuse after her daughter’s hospitalization.

How in the hell did nobody bother to tell her mother about the bullying? And how did she even get weekly counseling sessions without parental permission? I don’t have kids, so I guess I just don’t understand how schools are run these days, let alone in a shithole like Texas, but this story just sounds bizarre.

I might be biased but I feel like this was a bit funnier when I posted it the first time, 10 hours before you.

I miss when tech entrepreneurs just wanted to get rich and retire young instead of becoming real life James Bond villains. Tom Anderson got a generation to learn HTML, got Rupert Murdoch to hand over $580mil for a social network that’d be dead within a few years, then had the decency to peace out and travel the world enjoying his photography hobby. No evil schemes. No fascism. Just pretty pictures.

Thanks for confirming. I was pretty sure it was the same, but I had to switch to an iPhone for work several years ago so I wasn’t sure that was still the case.

Aaaah, yeah, it’s a pain in the butt to try memorizing keyboard shortcuts for characters you’re probably not using very often. Sorry my reply wasn’t relevant!
