This is the case for a majority of people in New Zealand due to the response in 2020 and 2021 which could explain why our excess mortality continue to be lower than other countries. Lockdown gets proven to be the right decision (at the time).
A study on 1.7 million people in Hong Kong shows superior hybrid immunity to Covid in people who got vaccinated before infection vs. people who got infected first. "Our findings are a direct rebuttal to arguments for natural immunity," the authors write. doi.org/10.1016/j.va...

It's amazing how this wall built across Aotearoa New Zealand's Alpine Fault in the 1960's has successfully halted any movement since! We should show our appreciation for such amazing engineering and forethought.

anyway, I've run the numbers and the ideal 2025 startup is a gacha box network state, where your basic rights and taxation rate are set randomly when you pay the massive citizenship fee... if you had bad luck just play again, and maybe you'll get a zero marginal rate and exemption from militia duty!

In the song “Hurt” by Nine Inch Nails, further popularized by Johnny Cash, do they sing:
“What have I become, my Swedish friend?”
Like you’re existentially asking your pal Bjorn.
or is it more like
“What? Have I become my Swedish friend?”
Like you may have become Bjorn.

I'm starting to wonder how much "the male loneliness epidemic" is just straight and bisexual women identifying low-effort, mean, and incompetent men and choosing not to date, marry, and tolerate them anymore

Who among us hasn't been having a great time in a field with your mates before suddenly realizing you're incredibly stoned.
Legend has it that the stones were nineteen maidens from a wedding party who were dancing wildly in the field one Sabbath eve to the music played by two pipers. As Saturday turned into Sunday they continued dancing and were turned to stone for their impiety.

One reason that the US (and the UK presumably, I don’t even go there) doesn’t teach children universal critical thinking and critical information literacy skills is that the idea that children should be able to evaluate or dissent from the lies of adults in society is politically contested.
Finland has emerged as a global leader in countering “fake news”. Here's how they've done it
Teaching when to trust
As fake news accelerates, we need to teach our children how to think critically. Finnish schools are leading the charge
