How are you guys doin?

Hopefully Shaun of The Dead. I’ll take any humor I can get these days.

can you please explain the mechanisms by which a vaccine would allow a government to control an individual

Idk, a nanochip? Like I said I'm no expert. Yes, I get it that it can't be injected like liquid or function for actually controlling anyone, but who knows?
Maybe controlling isn't the case, maybe it's actually for making people dumb(er), look at Russia - they make vodka cheaper and cheaper, put correct kind of propaganda on tvs and you got yourself 120 millions of zombies with a completely twisted sense of reality. Or to make people ill, wasn't Gates saying Earth is overcrowded?
I don't blame you northeners who seem to be going with their government's decisions, yet I come from a country where the government forced people to go out for a military parade while it was raining, just few days after Chernobyl has happened and without saying a word about it. So no I don't support panic and paranoia but I tend to question things.

also isn't the point of governments administering a vaccine to the populace to relinquish some of the control they currently have and allow people their freedom back?

Not if it's the only way for you to to willingly accept it by making you compare and choose, no.
What's the use for them if you stay home and don't go socialize or aren't able to work or go visit grandma? None (well besides killing all middle and small independent business, hehe). But for people as individuals it's a lot, that's why many will jump on the vaccine with no questions asked.
If they want to sell you air, they need to make you suffocate first.

no, you are apparently very much not.

1. what do you think a "nanochip" is?
2. how would you power said chip? like literally how would you reliably power a chip that is flowing in liquid in the bloodstream?
3. how would said chip POSSIBLY be able to receive radio signals from outside the body, because i assume that's what you're fantasizing that it's capable of?
4. EVEN IF there was such a thing on this planet as some sort of mysterious chip that would be small enough to fit inside a fucking syringe, be powered by some sort of mystical physics-defying force, could do meaningful computation, AND somehow magically communicate with the outside world, HOW IN THE NAME OF FUCK would it interface with the human brain???

come the fuck on, you're smarter than this. don't go around spreading this bullshit. it's not a joke on the internet anymore, you could be harming actual people. sober up.

i understand not wanting to trust authority blindly but it's no better to swallow pure propaganda because you do not understand technology or biology or medicine. could there be that there are people that are smarter than you, that know how to exploit your lack of faith in authority to achieve their own ends? being critical of authority does not mean that truth doesn't exist and you can just go around believing whatever bullshit putin paid for on facebook this week.

you don't have to listen to your government, or me for that matter, but please listen to the OVERWHELMING SCIENTIFIC CONSENSUS FROM EVERYONE WHO KNOWS ANYTHING IN THE LITERAL WHOLE WORLD.

Im not worried about the govt controlling so much as them knowing what im doing and where i am. Sure, we could assume they secretly put a tracking device in the vaccine through magic.

But I think its much more sensical to assume they would have everyone "show your papers" to enter a place of business, airport, subway, etc. Simply assign a barcode or ID to each paper and they scan it and voila.

Lose that patronizing tone, would ya

I pretty much answered the first 3 questions in my first 3 sentences.
Putin was just an example, there's much more to that, so you don't have to stick to this one.
I am not a scientist, and scientists say different things.
I'm also not proving anything and don't insist, I said there's a possibility, if it's not a chip, it might be something else - besides the actual NONFICTIONAL fact that fresh vaccines do cause side effects and they need to try a lot before they come to more-less satisfying results.
Falling blindly for the 'big kind savior who wants to do good' is not any better than doubting everything.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

Absolutely broke as fuck
Waiting to start my job at the Post Office

 

[J.]

Cool. Tell them they are slow as fuck.

 

[Tide In Mind Out]

Congrats, Frank. My dad has worked for USPS for nearly 50 years now, working up from a carrier to fleet manager. Bitches about the job daily, but really it's treated him well.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

My dad was a city carrier for 36 years. He's fucked. Bad back, shoulder, and knees.
I'll be a rural carrier. Driving and not walking.

When did you become so fucking stupid?

When people are just asking questions, it's called JAQing off. All it does is please the question asker.

You should take your bike with you!

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

Lol
Hoping I can eventually ride to work.
It's insane how many packages go through that place.
Covid is making Jeff Bezos a fuckload of money

 

[Krilons Resa]

I saw a visual example of Bezos' wealth compared to a bunch of other ppl/things a few months back and it was completely absurd, arguably criminal even.

Last I checked he "made" the lifetime wage of an average worker in the span of 6 seconds. I think it's reasonable to be in denial that this is even a possibility.

 

[NAD]

I feel like a king because I have 3 paid off cars, all of which run. I can't even imagine that level of wealth/absurdity.

 

[Krilons Resa]

Fuck a car payment.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

Fuck cars

 

[Krilons Resa]

 

[NAD]

Cars RULE, payments SUCK.

My next ride is gonna be a 25+ year old V8 whatever because who cares. Or a brand new one with 6 years of payments because who cares. I'm bi-curious with cars, old or new I don't give a shit. I'll gladly fix old or stupidly pay for new, I swing both ways for vehicles.
