save the frogs

So anyway, what were you expecting would happen? Everyone who got the Covid jab would drop dead and the only people remaining on the planet would be the anti-vaxxers? How many anti-vaxxers are there on the planet? 100,000? Kind of like Noah's Ark. Repopulate the planet with anti-vaxxers only.

how do you know this 3 years in advance? you a spokesperson for the olympic committee or what? mayor of LA? it's just another olympics. they're all the same.

yeah that's creepy ... spending the day with the body

Yes, people who enjoy p4p should be placed in the same category as serial killers because both exhibit narcissistic traits. To answer your question OP, quite a few.

I don't think it's a "scam". It's their "policy". Maybe people return items too frivolously for no apparent reason, hence the delay. Or maybe people buy stuff to use it once, knowing that they plan to return it, and abuse the return policy. I've heard of this happening with Amazon.

I dont think it's mentally healthy to be perpetually in hermit mode. Also, some people might actually appreciate your company. Balance both. Some people have way too many superficial relationships. I don't think that's good either.

I vacillate back and forth between hermit mode and being social. I can be both and enjoy both. Too much socializing is draining and doesn't allow you to reflect. Life remains too superficial.

it's her card that was hacked. silly person.

oh yeah, i didn't even notice it was in the pub. but why are people responding like it's a serious topic in the "world politics" forum? LOL. you guys are getting desperate.

Some people do exactly that and just keep doing the P4P. There are pros and cons to both. With the P4P, you will never get the same level of intimacy. But neither do they get close enough to you to hurt you, either emotionally or financially.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on homeopathy and the comparison. Regarding the (often toxic) adjuvant, my argument is that the human body is extremely resilient. As evidenced by the fact that human beings consume seed oils and sugar, which are poisons to the body, for decades and decades before the body finally breaks down.

you're jealous because he has a hot girlfriend and you don't. oh i forgot. western girls are all fat. this guy has a beard at 20. i dont even think i was able to grow a beard at 20. makes him look older anyway.

Also, mRNA is a completely different category of vaccine. I'm not even sure it's a good idea to equate it to other types of vaccines. Also, I've posted this several times but you continue to ignore it or dimiss is a "fake news". But not only is there a possibility that mRNA does NOT kill you, there is a possibility that it will be used as a cure for cancer and other illnesses. What research have you done to suggest that all these mRNA cancer cure claims are fake news? The Covid-19 pandemic traumatized people and societies, but it also spurred medical advances in a very big way. Perhaps nowhere as much as in the field of vaccines, where a groundbreaking new platform based on molecules called messenger RNA saved millions of lives. Now the technology is coming into its own in other areas, like as a possible treatment for another killer: pancreatic cancer.

Don't stop playing in the dirt. Keep playing in the dirt.

Most 20 year olds do stupid things. I still do a lot of stupid things.

Seems like Trump is trying to use tariffs against Canada to annex it. This has been tried before ... in the 1890s. So it's not even the insane ramblings of a madman. He's copying a strategy from the past. https://time.com/7212675/tariffs-canada-american-state-backfired/ While Trump’s protectionism and imperial designs are a sharp break with the recent past, they aren’t new. In fact, they’re part of a very old GOP playbook that dates to a period Trump regularly lionizes: the late 19th century. He sees it as a golden era in American history. Yet, the history of the 1890s actually exposes the dangers of the U.S. trying to force Canada into American hands. Like Trump, Republicans in the late 19th century wanted to annex Canada—which was then still a British colony. The push to make Canada part of the U.S. reached a fever pitch following passage of the highly protectionist McKinley Tariff in 1890, which raised average tariff rates to around 50%. To pressure Canada into joining the U.S., the McKinley tariff explicitly declined to make an exception for Canadian products. Republicans hoped that Canadians, who were becoming ever more reliant on the U.S. market, would be eager to become the 45th state to avoid the punishing tariffs.

I read part of it. Then he goes on to talk about "serum antibodies". Sorry, I don't have time to get a Phd in Biochemistry. I can relate to one personal experience I had. I have always been curious about homeopathy, naturopathy. So many years ago, I had a cat allergy and I went to a homeopath to see if they had anything for it. She did give me something, and it works on a similar principle to vaccines. That is, the homeopathic drops contained some "cat hairs" to prep my body for real cats. (obviously, it's crude and non-scientific, but it's the same principle as vaccines). And it did work. That homeopathic remedy helped me with the cat allergies. So again, I'm not going to continue reading this article because I don't have time to get a Phd in Biochemistry. But from my own experience, shocking the system with a dose of poison so the body produces some anti-bodies does seem to work. Of course, there is some "poison" in the vaccines, but my guess is most human bodies are capable of tolerating it and recuperating from it.

are you suggesting vaccines kill people? everyone in the west has had multiple vaccines from childhood and is still alive and most people live well into their 60s or more. and please don't tell me about covid vaccine deaths, because those stats are all fabricated. are you suggesting vaccines compromise immunity because of all the crap they put in there? ok, that might be somewhat more plausible. but the problem with that argument is the immune system is a constant battle over many decades. including bad food, lack of exercise ... even if vaccines cause some harm, you have plenty of time throughout your life to mitigate any harmful effects through diet and exercise. you seem to post ONLY on vaccines and nothing else, as though vaccines are the most important and only indicator of health, and as though vaccines exist in a vaccuum and all the donuts people are eating have nothing to do with health problems. Be afraid of these guys.

thumbs down was not from me.

So don't follow the herd. Carve your own path in the jungle.

Well, for the flu vaccine the reason so many people take it is because they don't take very good care of their health. Also, there is a Vitamin D / sunlight deficiency in northern hemisphere.

social media makes places popular. and that's what followers do ... they follow.

Well, we never had TikTok growing up. So hard to get into the heads of young kids. I guess if I were their age, I'd be doing the same thing? Some of them might be getting carried away showing off, though.

it sort of is the norm for large age gap relationships. and guys are rolling the dice as the house cannot be in their name.

yeah, i looked it up on tik tok. people taking selfies on rocks. easy to slip and fall on those rocks. dangerous selfies for a bit of tik tok fame ain't worth it, kids.
