It's an absolute nightmare. You are one bite, forkful or spoonful from a bitchfit.

A woman I work with went out with a "man" after her divorce to a restaurant. He couldn't have any item on the plate touching any other item on the plate. They had to send out 4 separate plates for this douche (according to her).

She blocked him and never saw him again.

So what is the cultural differences that led to Japan only vaccinated 25% of population? Cant use the whole Trump stuff and those numbers probably worse than the Republican states vax rates in the US too.
  1. Huge fuck up by the government in 1989 with an MMR vax. 2 million kids sickened. The government lied. This is a cultural touchstone like Tuskegee is for black Americans.
  2. Refusal to engage in data sharing with foreigners in hopes of developing their own vax. Look up Galapagos Syndrome. Here's a start: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gal%C3%A1pagos_syndrome
  3. Huge delays in testing due to cultural barriers for accepting foreign technology - especially pharmaceuticals. In 1993, there was a rice shortage. They had to import American rice. The testing and barriers for importation of foreign rice were absolutely ridiculous. On TV, there were interviews and editorials to the effect of "we know, Americans can eat it but can we Japanese?" Similar arguments are being made regarding COVID vaxxes now.

Just to expand, I always thought this kid might have been better off spending a year or two living on like a farm - tough because this was Los Angeles but seeing birth, death, pain, suffering that up close might have given him some perspective.

I know nothing of farm life and prefer cities but as I understand it, people see the circle of life more immediately on a farm.

The version I am familiar with says that William Shakespeare was just a persona used by multiple writers. The actual man as we know him never existed. Several people wrote under the name for unknown reasons and pooled together their writings
This is closest to the version I have heard, except that the writings were "collected" under the name "William Shakespeare" by publishers. Some critics think there's too much to have been done by one person.

Personally though, I don't spend much time on this conspiracy.

https://www.kiro7.com/news/trending/tampa-doctor-performed-surgery-wrong-testicle-florida-board-says/GUQLAGRTYVH7ZNDW57SHSUVUJ4/

TAMPA, Fla. A Florida urologist has been fined for performing surgery on the wrong testicle two years ago, according to health officials.

Raul Fernandez-Crespo was fined $2,500 by the Florida Board of Medicine, the Miami Herald reported. The board has issued a letter of concern in the boards final order, which was filed on June 17, the newspaper reported.

According to the board, Fernandez-Crespo had marked the patients right testicle to remove enlarged veins during the Sept. 10, 2019, procedure, the Herald reported. However, the surgery was supposed to be done on the patients left testicle, the newspaper reported.

According to Florida Department of Health online records, Fernandez-Crespo has been a licensed medical doctor in the state since April 1, 2019. He has no previous board discipline history, according to the online records.

The patient had come to Fernandez-Crespo for a varicocelectomy, a surgery to remove enlarged veins.

Varicoceles, enlarged scrotal veins, can be a source of male infertility, pain, and may even impair testosterone production, according to the Mens Clinic at UCLA.

According to UCLA, the procedure should take about 30 minutes.

After realizing his mistake, Fernandez-Crespo performed a varicocelectomy on the correct testicle, the Herald reported.

In addition to the fine and the letter of concern, Fernandez-Crespo must pay $2,045.56 to reimburse Department of Health expenses in dealing with the case, the newspaper reported. He also must take either a five-hour continuing medical education in risk management, or attend eight hours of Board of Medicine disciplinary hearings.

The urologist must also give a one-hour lecture on wrong-site surgeries at a medical facility approved by the state board, the Herald reported.

According to his profile on the Florida Sex Health website, Fernandez-Crespo is affiliated with several hospitals, including Tampa General Hospital, James A. Haley Veterans Hospital, and Advent Health. He completed his fellowship in Sexual Medicine and Andrology at the University of South Florida.

A native of Puerto Rico, Fernandez-Crespo completed his urology residency and medical studies at the University of Puerto Rico-Medical Sciences Campus, and Ponce School of Medicine, respectively, according to the website. He also serves as an assistant professor in the department of urology at the University of South Florida in Tampa.

Last I'll say - since I don't want to further line your pockets - in a country like Eritrea, local assemblies do most of the work. It's one of the only ways a multi-ethnic society in Africa can function.

The election of local assemblies in Eritrea have been judged free and fair by the international community.

No such statement can be made for China.
