  Or remind people of the horrible specter that polio was, and the shadow it cast over society at the time. People lived in constant dread of catching something that could leave them physically ruined, and even wheelchair bound for the rest of their lives back then.

  Covid, in its early strains, had the potential to leave you hospitalized and drowning in your own lungs for weeks as it ran its course. Granted, that’s not polio levels of bad… But that’s still weeks of hell, and several more years of hospital billing hell that I would like to avoid.

  Weighing those outcomes, I opted for early access to the vaccine. Even though it was more to minimize the risk of an expensive hospital stay.

  This raises a more interesting question. How many copies of DOOM have been sold in the Vatican?

  Definitely, you don’t need a VPN. If you’re really worried about your first hop traffic standing out or being blocked, use the obfs4 bridges.

  Time for some F12 fuckery to re-enable those buttons. Worst case scenario, there’s some extra serverside checks that make the page say no somewhere else.

  Wine and other liquor bottles too. Go check that sticker, I guarantee you it’s measured in milliliters.
