They definitely have chocolate covered bugs of varying sorts -- I know I've seen (like, in person, and watched people eat) ant and grasshopper -- but I'm not aware of if they do or do not have frozen varieties.

Just go to Taco Bell and look in your cup.

I get mosquitoes everywhere even when the doors are closed. And it's winter right now. Africa, everybody.

[MaximumZero]

Fuck that nonsense. I'll stick to my first world problems.

Don't get me started on the geckos.

...Seriously? Vaccines...causing that?
...

It looks like people don't understand, and that lacking understanding really kills :/
^{Rage-related: There are "semi"-celebrities advocating that trash?!}

[Arx]

No, that's the number of people anti-vaccination people have indirectly killed. Those are the lives that would have been saved by vacination.

[Tiruin]

...I think that was what I was pointing at earlier. By not allowing vaccination to happen, this death has occurred due to utter lack of prevention/cure. ^{Though I guess I didn't voice it out :X}

Funny thing is, if that logic was followed, then a sure case of 'Autism == Vaccine receiving' would pop up!

I'm disbelieving that idea thoroughly due to none of that ever even being an idea in my country. >_>

More rageworthy is the fact that people blindly follow celebrity endorsements without even doing their own objective research. Sure, you can do research, but if biased research is all you're gonna do, you'll never reach a proper conclusion.

And they didn't even bother.

I'm more surprised and O_o than rage'y at that.
It's something I do not fully understand.

[Trapezohedron]

I suppose I find it kind of rageworthy primarily because of people suddenly going straight to conclusions even when they haven't bothered, as I've said before.

A lot of people take satire, for example, as true RL fact. While we can't discredit that any piece of satire as false, they fail to see that the problem is being pointed out metaphorically, but it is being presented in a way that shows what any given thing could be.

Too bad some people treat it as real life news, instead of reading between the lines and analyzing the message. This gives satire slight infamy as a lie-propagation system. And I hate that.

But I feel that I'm digressing. The point is, before people make conclusions, they should do proper research, and keep from half-assing it.

It's like the original vaccination against small pox. "Vacc" means cow, and people genuinely thought that, given it was derived from a cow's disease, it would give people animal-like characteristics. Which is just foolish,.

They still chose to vaccinate, though. Being a cow was preferable to being diseased. It's not until some phony research linked vaccines to autism that people started to fear them.
