There’s always my homeboy, the Jersey Devil.

I will. I’m planning on going to Sunday school to ruin God, for those little fuckers, in the morning and the anticipation is killing me.

BTW....
I’ve totally been joking. My son knows it’s not real, but has been pretending to believe in all of the myths, to annoy me. We jibe, back and forth about this kind of stuff.

A Wels that large is capable of dragging an adult human into deep water. Honestly more interesting to me than a toy pliosaur glued to a toy boat.

AHHHH confronting my own mortality right about now

Good news, Tony: all you have to do is invest in an outlandish facial tattoo and you’ll be turning heads for the rest of your life!

If Tony’s letter ran along the lines of ‘Hey, I’m finding going into middle age hard and I kinda worry about feeling irrelevant or ignored or no longer part of a world I previously understood’, I’d feel a lot more sympathy for him because I am told that the aging process is/can be fucking rough and it’s hard to…

I’d be more sympathetic if he hadn’t restricted his complaints to the attention of younger women. It seems like he’s not immune from ageism as well.

Suggested letter title: Tony’s Last Fuckable Day.

I wonder how many not-unattractive 47 year old women Tony “notices.”

Various exemptions exist, including medical, religious and “personal belief” exemptions. My understanding is that in lieu of proof of immunization, an exemption form can be on file.

My dad has polio, which he contracted here in the US. I’m not even 30 years old. Being an apologist for morons makes you part of the problem, regardless of what you claim to actually believe. Riding herd immunity is selfish and irresponsible. These people are literally willing to sacrifice their own kids at the alter…

...and yet numerous conditions already exist for public school participation. Somehow they all survived constitutional challenge. The California courts seem to be reading a different document than you are.

Would you like to know why they give you 6+ immunizations all on the same doctor’s visit?

Californians can still refuse all they want. They just can’t enroll their kids in public schools. Public health is a perfectly well established reason for regulating participation in public goods. You cannot remotely compare it with your other examples.

It can be argued that the dipshits who think vaccines are harmful and are arguing “choice” are turning around and harming those who are too young or have immunity problems and therefore they have no choice in getting preventable diseases. So no, not quite the same thing.

Also, you really think the medical community who…

Prior California resident here:

Correction, UPPER MIDDLE CLASS/UPPER CLASS white women. The poorest states in the Union also have the highest rates of vaccination.

Have you taken large life insurance policies out in their name? Otherwise, I can’t think of a valid reason to not teach your kid a basic life skill that could potentially save their lives.

You have no excuse, except maybe if you live in a hut in the desert.
