Content owners could have got paid if they didnt do that

lemme know when i can 3d print a 3d printer

how is this insightful?

The vaccines are only good for current strains and only work if everyone (or most) are vaccinated. If a large population is not, then the diseases mutate, rendering the vaccines worthless and putting everyone at risk

im sure someone will mod you down, but i agree withwhat you just said

shhhh, dont let facts get in the way of a good enviro rant against cars.

Sounds like they were some pretty good mushrooms. were you also at a pink floyd concert by chance?
