jonattonyeah i’d imagine that’s the tip of the iceberg for what’s to come. my wife’s brothers are in their mid 30s and i hang out with them periodically. it’s fine in a large group, but i refuse to go anywhere individually with them any more. spend 2 hours at lunch staring at them in silence while they’re looking at a screen, it’s a horrible way to socialize. dropping birth rates are probably a good thing, but there are social ramifications we’re just starting to see now.
I’m hoping as the technology is normalized the very young will grow up knowing its trappings and seek some sort of balance. Am I confident in that? I dunno. Not really. I’ve seen a group of like four at the bar, friends, all together, in silence, on their phones. I’m like, are you texting each other? Bizarre compared to what I grew up with and I’m only 40. I’m sure the olders were mocking us for playing Goldeneye in a basement with each other for hours on end. But at least we were talking!
jonattonyeah i don’t share the optimism that people will be aware it’s happening. when you grow up with the tech that’s available now, you don’t know any other way. it’s like being indoctrinated into religion at an early age, it’s very difficult to overcome. i’m very grateful to have grown up without it, i think it’s a better way to live from a social perspective.
Where are we at with this thread?
Seems like everyone has lost the plot, apart from Hugo who’s consistently a complete plank.

I don’t know about NHS but in Finland nurses have to take several shots to qualify (yearly flu shot being one), and that they kick up a fuss over this one shows it’s an idealogical issue. The law just passed here making the covid-vaccine, and boosts mandatory. One unvaccinated nurse here already killed an elderly she was taking care of with covid.
When i have arguments with my ant-vax friends one the biggest reasons why they won’t take the vaccine is because they say it hasn’t been tested properly plus the fact that they just don’t trust the government or big pharma. I don’t know why but a lot of it is all aimed at Pfizer vaccine for some reason.
Pfizer can be cunts and their vaccine can still be tested properly, and be safe at the same time.
Dubman I don’t know why but a lot of it is all aimed at Pfizer vaccine for some reason.
Maybe the fact that developed countries such as Japan and even the FDA web site itself admits the risk of myocarditis with this vaccine.
I mean, by all means take it, I myself am fully vaccinated (AZ x 2 + a Sinovac cherry on top), but informed consent should be the key principle, and people should be allowed to choose to be vaccinated based on clear information about the risks vs benefits, not be forced to take it (or blindly assume that the vaccinations don’t have risks).

Meanwhile, in line with the data from South Africa, patients with Omicron in the UK typically leave hospital much sooner than in previous waves, with elderly patients spending only about half as long as before:
