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”

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

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

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!

(I’m too lazy to go find the n with the squiggly above it)

I’m not sure about android devices, but if you’re using an iphone you can long-press ‘N’ and it’ll pull up non-english character options. Same applies for every letter.

The worst part is, he’s actually a talented ventriloquist. But he also just so happens to be a racist hack comedian. Like, damn dude, you spent years honing your craft and this is what you decided to do with your skills? What a waste.

Holy shit you’re still in this thread crying? Christ. I’m just gonna go ahead and block you, it’s abundantly clear you’re a vacuous knob and there’s nothing to gain by interacting with you.

Does someone tie your shoes for you, or are they Velcro?

I’m just jocking lol. There’s many reason to be mad right now, a bad joke (there I’m admitting it) isn’t a good one.

My dude… You told a bad joke, you got downvoted for it, and started whining about how nobody understood your joke. Nobody seems mad except you.

But you user name checks out lol.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I see you’re as original as you are funny.

I call it humor.

Congrats, you’ve just experienced your first time “bombing” it’s something every aspiring comedian experiences. Write better jokes.

Yep, Texas is immune to satire because Texas itself is a parody of a state.

(Apologies to the reasonable people of Texas who may read this comment, there are lots of you, but I think we all know it’s a frustratingly accurate assessment of how the state is governed)

I thought it was kind of amusing that Matt Gaetz was the only republican that didn’t endorse that plan. But I looked it up and apparently he just so happened to be the only republican young enough to actually know who Sacha Baron Cohen is and recognize the whole thing was a set up. So he was just there to make himself look like “the reasonable one.” But it’s super depressing how many GOPers were quick to endorse a plan to arm kindergartners “to prevent school shootings.”

The Onion has been firing on all cylinders today.

YUGE deal. Many people are saying it’s the biggest deal ever. The best people!

The man’s wife, who’s Venezuelan and has lived in the U.S. for a few years, had a court date set up and “everything was good” until that moment.

“They just came and they snatched her,” the man said.

That’s what you voted for dummy.

That man and all the hype he is raising needs to be ignored.

That’s the relevant part my comment was addressing. Burying your head in the sand is never the appropriate course of action. This should not need to be explained to you, or the original commenter.
