This is how you know vaccines are indisputably good for you, memes about assaulting parents over it. Maybe instead of promoting coercion through force, how about instead addressing the problems that even the BBC will talk about now. You know, the ones that you ignored before pushing "jab or job" policies.
Protip: anybody who's idea of helping you requires compliance through force is an abuser, not someone who actually cares about your own interest. You could make the same meme about any issue, right or wrong but it's incredibly revealing where this mindset comes from.

Menga Dolmen, 5500 year old prehistoric monument in Antequera, Spain 🇪🇸

Built way back in Neolithic or early Bronze Age, around 3700-3200 BC, this place is one of Europe’s biggest megalithic burial sites. What’s really amazing about it is the long corridor that leads to the burial chamber, all made from these gigantic stone slabs that can weigh up to 180 tons each.

Aztec beads (1400-1521 AD), found in southern Mexico 🇲🇽

These were cast individually by the lost-wax process, each with its own separate clay mold which was then broken to release the object. Associated to the sustenance provided by water and rain, frogs were also a potent fertility symbol, since they lay thousands of eggs and assume a squatting position similar to that of women in childbirth.

Ahh surely a principled stance

Another closeup of the adder. For this photo, I removed the top two metal layers and left the bottom metal layer. At the top, the partial sum circuit is repeated 8 times. At the bottom, XOR is repeated 8 times. In the middle, the carry lookahead circuitry is a jumble since each bit is different. 4/n

@klaatu how did we even arrive to the point where you actually need a retirement fund. For most of human history you'd support your children when they're young and in turn your children would support you when you're too old to support yourself and it worked just fine. Why the fuck did we outsource basic social security to people we never even met, I wonder 🤔
