  • The risk is better than the alternative

    Are these vaccines—is this injection—100 percent safe? As a parent of two children that go to this school, I’m not willing to take the chance on a question mark.

    This is infuriating. Nothing is 100% safe – do you drive your kids to work? Do you wear seatbelts? Why? Because they are safer than driving without them, despite the fact that they could, perhaps, kill your child.

    Like everything else, it’s a risk, but that risk is absolutely better than the alternative. I have a feeling these parents know this, but want to outsource that risk to other parents/children so that they can go on living their lives with the knowledge that other people will pull the weight of public health for them.

  • GPORG Updates

    To folks wondering why some styles look a little messed up—yeeeah so some things are having issues. I’m working on a big update that will fix and restructure certain areas, and just clean up a lot of stuff so it doesn’t look haphazardly thrown together. I most likely won’t bother trying to fix the wonky styles, unless it affects readability. I’m only one person, yo. But…STAY TUNED.

    “Dragon Quest Composer Koichi Sugiyama Has Died”

    I dunno how to feel about this. On the one hand, I just got into Dragon Quest and love the series so far, and Sugiyama was a big part of it. On the other hand, “asshole” doesn’t even describe him. And the DQ music was good, but not as good as say Final Fantasy’s (really enjoying the soundtrack for the FFVII remake). Kinda messed up that DQXI originally had to ship with the midi version because he didn’t want people to hear the orchestrated version. 🙄 WTF
