Let's stop calling them super. "The grotesquely wealthy" is more accurate.
Agreed! I plan on using "the grotesquely wealthy" from now on, it conveys my visceral opinion of them.
Also notice how the long distance, chaotic distribution, and heavy aid boxes force families to self-select their strongest person, who would also be most able to put up a fight to defend their family. Then the IDF is gunning them down when they're in the chute, leaving starving women and children that are easily disposed of.
I'm not saying it was any actual kid, that's just the only reason I could imagine being possibly justified.
The only situation I could imagine in which this decision could possibly be justified is if a small child got hold of a gun (because Texas) and shot her in play, and they're trying not to ruin the kid's life.
How are they supposed to play soccer when FIFA has no balls?
Makes more sense than corporations
I would argue the negligence was committed by the person who left the insular community (which had some protection by virtue of avoiding exposure, even though it also perpetuated an antivaccine and anti doctor mindset) and brought home the measles. It's also very much a young-women-do-as-they-are-told society so the mother's level of agency over her own health and that of her fetus is questionable. You go ahead and blame her, but I'd like more evidence she was willfully neglectful.
EDIT TO ADD:
“While measles may have been a contributing factor in both the premature birth and death, the infant also faced other serious medical complications unrelated to the virus,” he added.
Since we read they're trying to get the word out to the community in their language, it's very possible she wasn't aware she needed the vaccine, especially since obviously her parents didn't get her vaccinated as a child. If she wasn't planning to get pregnant she wouldn't have been told "you need to get the MMR at least a month before you start trying." And she's probably not the person who went to New Brunswick and exposed her insular community, but instead could well have become pregnant at about the time the first cases were diagnosed in her community. Then with the virulence of measles it would have been very difficult to remain sufficiently isolated to completely avoid exposure. We also don't know her age. And we don't know how sick she got, but possibly it precipitated the premature labor.
"MMR vaccine should not be given during pregnancy and you shouldn't try to become pregnant within a month after vaccination."
So depending on the timing of the exposure and whether the pregnancy was planned, and whether she was aware she wasn't vaccinated and that it's okay under Mennonite rules, there's a few scenarios where she's more victim than villain
Okay, "swarming herds of antelopes" would satisfy me. Or "plague of a million antelopes."
Maybe it's just me, I feel like swarming is something you do with lots of legs and maybe some wings. And the ickiness of small bodies moving in waves, chittering and buzzing.
Thundering hooves and sharp horns feels like a wholly different terror.
But as used in the headline, "...antelope swarm destroys.." the verb is "destroys," not "swarm."
Surely antelopes roam in herds, not swarms? They're not bees.
Iirc, it's the same hospital his mom, who is also a doctor, works at. So they have each other at least.
I got that, you started your comments in direct reference to OP's post. I just figured, since people replied to you with comments about the Guardian (which has since revised their headline 3 times btw) you might want to know where that was coming from.
The BBC headline right now is even worse: "Israel denies firing at civilians after Hamas-run ministry says 31 killed in Gaza side centre attack." I'm typing it out myself because it keeps changing every update.
"At least 26 killed amid Israeli tank fire near Gaza aid centre, rescuers say"
is the updated version, which I read as some may have died in the crush to escape or by falling or something during the slaughter and mayhem.
Which is typical media style to avoid expensive lawsuits.
Both the IDF and the "aid agency" claim NOTHING HAPPENED, while the doctors at the hospital say all fatal injuries are gunshots.
I'm not sure if they have any of their own people onsite, given that Israel isn't allowing it and has killed many journalists.
Oh because OP cited it (with image) in their comments explaining why they chose the one they did
I guess it's in case the sentence gets shortened or she gets parole. "Life" doesn't always turn out to be life
What happened to the "traditional healer" who bought the child?

"I've never had a friend tell me he sends girls dick pics" Well he wouldn't, would he? They know it's toxic behavior even though they enjoy doing it and might even brag about it with equally toxic guys. This is a problem women constantly have, the men in their lives don't believe things are happening because it doesn't happen when they're there. It's a far less niche sphere than it appears to you, and I agree it's probably not going to be out in front of you for you to do something about. But you can start by assuming women mostly don't bring things up unless they're really bad, because they put themselves at risk by doing so. So if they do, they're probably not lying or imagining it. Even if your experience of that guy is completely different. And you can (continue to) shut down the more "minor" conversational shit that normalizes and perpetuates that mindset.
