Reply to comment by Rambler in Have you gotten your COVID vaccination? Do you plan to? Why or why not? by Rambler
From what I hear there's actually a death rate associated with the vaccine, so I think I rather take my chances with the holocough itself, which I might not even get.

I've been offered it twice already and I'm not getting it. Reason is very simple - they're selling it too hard, so something must be wrong.
If I were a religious nutcase I would compare the vaccine to the mark of the beast. I've made a bet with friends that in five years one won't be able to make any financial transactions AND will have their property seized by the government unless they're vaccinated.

No, no, and because I can.

I haven't got my COVID vaccination, and I'm not planning to (provided the ruling vermin won't force me...). The side effects are just too serious (tilde.club clear net mirror, Tor v3 mirror, Tor v2 mirror, Freenet mirror, I2P mirror):
BNT162b1— another mRNA-based vaccine candidate — resulted in considerable adverse events,4 including fever, which occurred in 50% of individuals who received the highest dose (100 micrograms), fatigue, headache and chills.
Especially after additional injections:
Side effects were even more common following the booster dose, after which more than 70% of participants experienced a fever at the mid-range (30 microgram) dose.
Maybe I should write a script that can automatically fill in those mirrors... Anyway, since COVID is harmless to children (clear net only), and, by the way, I'll be 15 in six days, I probably shouldn't take the vaccine anyway, since it's pointless.
And I'm not really an anti-vaxxer, it's just that this vaccine might be harmful. I mean, looking at the actual reasons, it looks like the vaccine will modify your programming:
Here’s how an RNA vaccine works: rather than injecting a pathogen’s antigen into your body, you instead give the body the genetic code needed to produce that antigen itself
So that's not really a good thing.

I'll get it if i can, ive read the white papers and looked at how these were made, i trust the science. im young and healthy and it helps contribute to herd immunity. if your not gonna take it thats your choice but i think theres not actual bad risk unless your getting some foreign chinese bullshit.

Same here. It's not that I'm anti-vax, it's just that I have no reason to get the vaccine since it:
- Is not required
- Does not make me immune from getting COVID or passing COVID to others.
- Still too new.
I may get it in a few years if it's still a thing and people aren't giving birth to three arm babies and stuff. If my life becomes inconvenienced by not having it, I'll work around it as best I can.

Nope, too many side effects.

All the people I knew who took the thing ended up with regular covid symptoms for at least a week if not more. I think I'll pass for now.

I like the horror story ones: Darkness Prevails, Horrorbabble, Manfred Arcane and Lighthouse Horror. Pretty much any cat-focused channel is worthwhile. Recently discovered jumping spider vids.

Well, all of those features would be a good thing to have, but especially rewriting submission URLs to Ramble-specific frontends for that service. By the way, the Instagram frontend is called Bibliogram. You can also add teddit (clear net only) as a Reddit frontend.

Hospital staff and older people have been the guinea pigs, I think it will work ok on us.

im just waiting for testing to be done of groups under 16, im not scarred any AMERICAN vaccine, my uncle and grand parents have received in months ago and are doing just fine. The virus won't do shit to me but i think its important to play my role helping us get heard immunity for the people too high risk to take it.

How far down can you go the list? It's supposed to got all the way down to the 1920s, but most people will run out of movies they know earlier.

Hm... maybe it helps to know that the list only goes down to the 1920s, so you already got half the set. Also, I'm interested in how people would answer this with incomplete information, so not having enough data points is so that everyone's answers can be different. Just go with the first thing that comes to mind.

You said:

I ignored that and went with SciFi, haha.

Not enough data points.
And I am a person who subscribed to five different filmmaking,cinematographer,producer,SFX magazines and a few exotic underground film quarterlies for 25 years.
I looked for letters , vowel patterns, us soil release date months, box office takes, runtimes, amount of CGI, etc.
Not enough datapoints for me. And as a logician, i disregard 1960s and 1960s as possible empty sets in the above puzzle, and possible red herrings, though in most IQ oriented test corpus questions, the blanks are meant to not be null sets (WISC-R Full Scale, WISC-IV extended, Stanford-Binet, WPPSI-III, etc). Null sets as part of a puzzle are not considered valid in a open ended answer, and only used in multiple choice answers.

Same. It is rather interesting to read how many people on the internet consider themselves to be experts on virology and pharmacy and believe that they are more knowledgeable on matters of science than the experts in the global academic community. There's been a metric fuckton of peer-reviewed research, both theoretical and practical on the various vaccines and the vast majority consider them to be safe. Only incident I've heard of recently was a small minority of people getting trombosis from the AstraZenic vaccine, but that's already being disputed.
