Just think, each and every antivaxxer you've met in your life could have gotten you fatally ill.

I haven't met any.... or at least anyone that claimed to be one.... it's not too frequent in Europe, I think (though it does happen sometimes and make it to the news).

I have met a number of fans of odd alternative treatments. Oddest one to date last week.
Andrew Wakefield, who started the modern anti-vaccination craze (and illegally experimented on children to do so), is British. I've also heard that conservative Christians in some parts of the low countries frequently cause local epidemics.


Of course, for every person who proudly displays that their children are all-natural death vectors and purposely infects them with diseases to "strengthen" them, there are a hundred who quietly avoid some vaccines or refuse to follow up on boosters. And perhaps a thousand who don't disbelieve in vaccines but engage in unfounded questioning like "But can we really trust the doctors to do what's right when they're just out for money?" or are just plain afraid of needles. You've probably met quite a few but didn't know it.

Ok I have to say this

Air Control is a TERRIBLE TERRIBLE Game but it does one thing I almost think is genius

You see the game has a disjointed narrative and basically keeps coming up with events (typically randomly) and strings them altogether.

I kind of want to see a game that does that... except good. Like you defeat someone and it goes "5 hours earlier" :P

I would actually find it amazing to see a game with a little review snippet- "A postmodernist sensation!"

The tile says "PiS Police kills a protester to death, martyr of KOD - adults only". KOD is The Committee for the Defence of Democracy, opposition (supposedly unaffilated but both PO and Nowoczesna (opposition parties) are working with them) organization that is against EVERYTHING PiS (Law and Justice party, right wing Christian conservatives) tries to do. Basically, bunch of SJW that try very hard to prove that PiS is Nazi Party, despite attacking cameramen, being annoying fucks and so on.

Has there ever been a story about a sympathetic german soldier during WW2 who wasn't a Nazi (or at least... wasn't one of the forced drafts)

That actually included how bad the world actually messed over Germany after WW1?

Because I am always surprised when WW2 narratives kind of forget that even without Hitler... Germany was kind of pushed towards war.

IIRC the german navy was mostly not nazified, but they still worked for Hitler because he ran their country, and they still got rekt by Britain.

Yeah, Germany had some pretty heavy war reperations put on them.
But you forget that it had basically no infrastructure damage compared to france which got messed up.

Germany was never going to be able to pay the reparations which were demanded of them.

Obligatory prophetic quote:
Quote from: John Maynard Keynes, 1920
I believe that the campaign for securing out of Germany the general costs of the war was one of the most serious acts of political unwisdom for which our statesmen have ever been responsible.

More of a video game wtf than anything.

This game of Victoria 2 NWO has been weird. The People Republic of China loses(like it does every time it seems), Vietnam happens about twenty years early aaand no Korean war. Also, apparently this game's war between Israel and Palestine ended up having Palestine annexed by Jordan. Also, Saudi Arabia is a democracy and is allied with Israel. Also, most of Africa is still held by European powers. I'm not sure if that's accurate, considering the date. I might be putting Africa's complete independence from Europe earlier than it actually was. And finally, Catalonia. That is all :P

Do not question the bong. You wouldn't like the answers.

Anyway, forecast is suggesting a cm of rain and over-freezing temperatures this week. Its frankly ridiculous to imagine
