    wont be long now , i got the vaccine about 3 weeks ago and now look like a hairy ape ....nahh i was like that before . Getting the jab was no biggie , i happened to be at the Drs for another issue very late in the afternoon and asked if i could score one while i'm there. He said there were a couple left in the bottle so go fill out and sign a 4 page statement of questions and away i go. He rechecked the paperwork and in i go to see the nurses. The nurses ran through the questions again , i got the jab then had to wait outside for about 20mins till i could drive off. No side effects for me at all , then i go back in 12 weeks for the booster shot.

    Devolution or De-evolution depending on how you pronounce it is survival via sheer numbers.

    The common description is the stupid people outbreed the smart people and stupid genes propagate throughout the population simply because they are more common. Stupid outbreeds and displaces smart. There is no survival advantage if smart and stupid people breed at the same rate and intelligence or lack of it doesn't select or is in some way advantageous or deleterious.

    Meanwhile back in the real world, intelligence or lack of it isn't genetic so it isn't genetically selective anymore than wealth influences genetics. There are no rich genes or smart genes. My complaint is natural selection doesn't work fast enough. Stupid people manage to pass their genes on before natural selection catches up with them.

    But you might notice that devolution is a method which some viruses employ. HIV is one of those viruses. Coronavirus also does something similar but not so prolific. The trillions of copies of the virus, a lot of them have small genetic errors. Most will do nothing, provide no advantage, or disadvantage or even just not reach a new host. Killing your host is not advantageous, it's not a survival strategy, so while we think of a more deadly virus as some kind of genetic improvement, it's actually the reverse.
    HPV might be a slower virus but it is way more successful than coronavirus. It kills less people more slowly and more people carry it. It's a very successful virus.

    Time to put on my energy dome, smart patrol jumpsuit and Booji Boy mask.

    Devolution is a movement to a lower condition which isn't what is happening. It's actually just diversity. There is no up or down direction to evolution, no better or worse. The more there are of your peeps and the more variation in the population, the harder it is to kill all of them.
    If your peeps are too successful and deplete their resources, well then, evolution is going to be a bit more "narrow" in it's selection

    It beggars belief, as if million-dollar contracts aren't enough for some of our cricketers, they've done themselves a disservice by high-tailing it to the Maldives, and now arrive in AU on a private jet.

    You can add this latest action to the papergate fiasco, no wonder no-one watches cricket any more.

    The SA Govt has given permission to the Sictorian footballers to come and play here this weekend. Now, of course, they will be "isolated" except when on field, but.... WHAT ABOUT our blokes who have got to play them??? Are they, then going to be isolated from the community after the match???????? I thought not!!!!

    I thought all of above wouldn't matter anymore because we should be mostly all vaccinated by now.
    We are currently just above Kazakhstan, which as we all should know by now are the mastermind of this virus



    We are just 25million people minus the kids who won't get any jab, what happened?

    USA have administered almost 300million doses

    ...and why the f@#% does every Melbourner have to visit 80 pubs/coffeshops/gyms/restaurants every day?
    Don't any of them do something productive anymore?

    They live in Danistans socialist paradise so why should they have to do anything? They all live in the home of chemical eugenics for 10 year olds, so why would they bother being productive?

    Get my first jab tomorrow....thankfully not in Victoria else I might walk out of the docs half female.
