We will sell no wine before it’s time.

I definitely agree. I’m old enough to remember when Alex Jones just had his late night radio show in Austin, and he was actually kind of fun back then. It was all about the hollow moon, reptilians, and grey aliens hosting the Bohemian Grove parties. Once he got an internet channel, it was a whole different ballgame.

I miss the days of quaint kooks instead of dangerous kooks.

There is nothing wrong with having a dissenting conclusion from your own observations, but accepting some internet creators conclusions as your own without scrutiny is equally as bad or worse than accepting the government lies they say they are rejecting. If they applied the same skepticism to their fringe news sources, we’d be in a better place, I think.

I hate that the extreme polarity of things right now keeps us from having the important conversations surrounding the kernels of truth within people’s mistrust and dissatisfaction.

It is a fact that the government has made a habit of lying to people. It is a fact that the cover of medical experimentation has been used to justify atrocities against minorities within the last 100 years.

However, it is not true that @JoeTruth1488 on 4Chan is likely to have all the answers to a conspiracy in plain sight. It is not true that InfoWars is spitting facts while everyone else is out to get you.

I can understand the mistrust of the system, but I can’t understand the conclusion that some anonymous yahoo with no inside perspective somehow has the resources to have figured it all out.

How about any 25 year olds who are desperate for a quick buck? /s

Do you know a willing 25 year old?

I’d literally suck the youth out of 25 year olds like a vampire to be 25 again.

Thanks, your explanation really fills in the gaps that the article didn’t address.

I’m confused and feel like this title is misleading:

The Novavax vaccine was previously only allowed to be used in emergencies. Meanwhile, the FDA gave full approval to vaccines by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna in 2022 under the Biden administration. Both companies are producing updated versions of their vaccines for the fall.

It seems to only be for the Novavax vaccine, and it was already restricted, but this article doesn’t say why. Don’t get me wrong, RFK is a fool, but it doesn’t look like he’s keeping people from getting the Moderna or Pfizer vaccines, and the one he is restricting was already restricted for undefined reasons.

In my opinion, addiction is a relationship. Sometimes it’s hot, sometimes it’s comfortable, sometimes it’s a nightmare. It all depends on the combination of influences involved.

So, yes, moderation works as long as circumstances allow for it. Depending on the addiction, the bad times can still be pretty manageable. Or not.

In the words of William S. Burroughs, there’s nothing recreational about heroin.

Thanks, Obama. /s

Is it that I’ve never run across you before, or that I’ve never liked it? You’ll never know. /s
