Do you believe the right of a parent to have access to their child is more important than the right of that child to safety?

The driving test costs £62 for a weekday slot or £75 for evenings and weekends.

The letter said some third-party sellers are charging up to £500.

A kind of ticket scalping that never would’ve occurred to me.

Love an organized boycott!

Ow, that sounds awful! I’m sorry you went through that.

I think I get it now. It hasn’t been tested for under 50 year olds because there’s no real reason to get vaccinated if you have a healthy immune system, right? You just wouldn’t get it.

I was wondering if there was some known harm caused by the dead virus vaccine, but it doesn’t seem like it. Like, if you get shingles, it’s because the virus is already hanging out in you, so it’s not like measles where the virus is introduced for the first time to prep your system. Prepping for shingles doesn’t make sense unless there’s a reason to think your immune system will fail. The virus is already there.

I think it helps me get it to think of the group who gets vaccinated as entirely people who are immunocompromised. 50+ is just a category inherently part of that group. If I got vaccinated now, it would serve zero purpose.

Thanks for your answer! I hope you never have to deal with shingles ever again.

Shingles vaccines are already recommended for older adults (typically those over 50) and people with weakened immune systems.

If you fit these categories, definitely get that vaccine. Shingles sucks so bad on its own, without even taking into consideration this possible dementia link.

Does anyone know why you shouldn’t get it earlier than 50 unless you’re immunocompromised? Is it just because it hasn’t been tested in other age groups? I tried looking up an answer, but that’s all I found.

Mentioned this to my elderly father and he said “I could do better than that.” He’s a master of security compared to that.

Thank you so much for the link and explanation! Just reading the abstract tells me it’ll take a while for me to read through it and get it, so I wanted to make sure to thank you now, haha.

While those undergoing cancer treatment are more susceptible to contracting viruses like Covid-19, the extended lifespan was attributed to the mRNA in the vaccine, which appeared to “help the immune system respond better to the cutting-edge cancer treatment,” according to The Associated Press.

Has anyone read about this further? I’m curious how they determined it was the mRNA and not the covid immunity. It sounds cool.

Minority kids and kids they want to rape are adults at seven, their kids are adults at…45? Maybe?

They did do something. It’s not what you’d do if you were walking home and saw ICE grabbing your neighbors, but that’s fine. Everyone’s got different abilities.

They stopped the raid and made it a protest. They couldn’t kidnap any more immigrants on that street. I think they did do something.

https://6abc.com/post/immigration-agents-conducting-sweep-nycs-famed-canal-street-confronted-protesters/18055773/ This article says that it was started by people on their way home from work.

In response, a contingent of protesters, many of whom appeared to be on their way home from work, surrounded the masked officers, attempting to block their vehicle as they shouted “ICE out of New York” and called on other pedestrians to join them.

The thing to keep in mind is that while these random people did nothing (blocked a vehicle and called more people to join them) the incident became about them. ICE had to leave at the time. And, meanwhile, anyone undocumented could get out of there.

As more New Yorkers joined the fray, some of the federal agents retreated on foot, followed by jeering protesters and honking vehicles. Additional federal agents, armed with long guns and tactical gear, also arrived in a military tactical vehicle.

And now these agents have to harass a bunch of citizens instead of immigrants.

Are there so many high profile thefts at the louvre because it’s such a famous museum?

The article is about how they’re connecting over injustices on social media and building huge movements based on it. Tiktok is just being used as a shorthand in the headline.

I don’t disagree with you about what tiktok is. Just that you seemed to be saying that the article was about gen z protesting for access to tiktok, when the article was actually more about what has connected a number of seemingly varied protest movements around the world.
