the more pressure they apply, the more stubborn we get.
i've always liked the irish style of unbreakable resistance to pressure. i'm irish too, but my resistance is probably more of the finnish and scandinavian varieties. that, and plain old yankee.
I'm Irish and Icelandic and have a VERY strong stubborn streak. The more people tell me I should do something the less likely I am to do it. I generally don't trust pharmaceuticals very much (childhood vaccines and the lack of long-term safety data for these well-established vaccines made me skeptical) and was pregnant during rollout and was taking a wait and see approach (leaning heavily towards absolutely not, especially when I compared the "soooo dangerous" covid hospitalization rate with that of flu (which I also don't take, especially when pregnant). The public heath "moving the goalposts" every couple of weeks and not answering basic questions like "why are we doing this? What's the goal?" Also made me deeply skeptical of everything. Feeling good about my choices now (and convincing my husband to not roll over and take it as the easy way out of work mandates)
Ooooo how I HATE that little "Stay Safe" mantra , just so f*cking toxic. Don't hear it as much now, thank God. Turns my stomach and makes me have thoughts so bad, I swear they would make Jesus drink gin straight out of the cat bowl. Life is not safe! I want to shout it from the rooftops.
My response to "Stay Safe" is - "Actually, I have other plans." (Same as the response to "Have a Nice Day.") Well, in my head mostly, but it feels good to think it. :-)
I'm half Dutch/Friesian. It doesn't get more stubborn than that. We invented recalcitrance, pulling our land from the sea and all...how crazy is that? But yeah, Finnish/Yankee would be pretty tough to break down.
Every man will sell his soul for a price. All they need to do is for some folk is to offer a liquid suspension of sufficiently high proof. ЁЯдб (Don't laugh: some polio formulas were oral.) Tosspots may breathe a (flammable) sigh of relief however: alcohol especially in higher concentrations is a potent disinfectant, so the scheme may be unfeasible.
I do think it's going to get worse. And I think long covid will be the next grift. Sooo many empty/miserable vessels that they'll continue to fill themselves with poison and blame those who refused obedience. They'll have no problem trying to further ostracize those who can think for themselves.
Yeah. I'm just Irish.
Don't ya think they pressure on us is going to get worse? Can we spread Long Covid?

You're not just stubborn you also have good old fashion horse sense. In my neck of the woods they call that street smarts. Stay strong!...not "safe"

Love the comment. Stay free!

Love it! I'll try it on my GP, who is forever pushing the vax on me.
yeah. always made me cringe and I always responded with something different
bravo!

people who shake their fists in defiance at the north sea (and win!) are nobody to trifle with. the dutch also pretty much broke the spanish empire.
Thanks! We also decided a tulip bulb was worth the price of a townhouse. We're crazy people, and by God, we're proud of it!
Maybe I picked up some of the Yankee too. ЁЯШП

Break glass!

I'll also say the masks are still a big threat
