87 is not nothing??? Like what...
It's "nothing much" if the alternative is the risk of all the issues you can get from HPV.
I know people that wouldn't be able to afford it. You get that the consequnce to paywalled healthcare is having sick people and not people just sucking it up and paying? The real alternative is of course allegedly already spelled out by Mr. Mangione but maybe a refresher is due?
I'd respond gay for €87. I mean, I would respond that way anyways, but if I was straight I would too!
Except there is now a legal record of you saying you're gay. That or you comitted fraud. And that paper gets handed to whoever is bearing the cost. Likely a government agency. Meaning the government keeps records of gay people. I would think twice about paying or not, regardless of me being gay or not.
Bullshit. One dose costs €165 and you need 2 to 3 shots.
what the fuck
This is funny but I want to remind people not to discuss the STI diagnosis of your brother’s girlfriend. On twitter.
What about on Tumblr?
I can't decide if that was likely part of the joke vs a genuine flub
Almost everyone has HPV and for most people (especially cis men) its harmless. But if you are young, please get the shot to protect the uteruses in your life.
They only vaccinate 9-18 year olds here now, with main focus being <14 I believe (of both genders). I could get a shot myself, but it's like 200€. And I'm not that young anymore, I probably have some form of HPV, though I could also check to see if my recent test included it.
I swear they used to vaccinate men under 26 or 27 and all women at some point. I think I was a year above the limit back then, but I could be wrong
I want HPV for free hysterectomy please
AFAIK it can still cause cancer no matter who you are, that's why i jumped on the offer for a free vaccine.
A pal and I went to join a newly opened gym.
I says to the dude on the desk: "How much is the membership a month?"
The staff member says: "It's £50 per month each, or £75 for a couple"
I'm motioning my pal over, and I'm like "dude are we like boyfriends now?"
"yeah"
Turns back to the dude on the desk: "we'll take the couple's membership please".
Went cross code to save £12.50 a month each. Worth it.
Holy shit, £50 a month? Is that a common/standard rate?
At my work we have access to a $25 USD a month membership and I think that is even a bit too expensive for my taste...
I pay just under $20 per week in Australia. That's on a special promo price because I signed up in the weeks before the gym opened. (That's under $15 USD at today's exchange rate, but still...)
hahaha I pay $75 a month for my gym, and it's the cheapest in town.
Prices are just different based upon what cost of living is where you live. That $25 sounds like a pretty good deal depending on whether or not it has a pool though.
My local climbing gym is $70/mo
That's why i don't climb
any gym membership has to compete with the cost of one of those door-frame pullup bars and some weights
I wanted to build a home gym too, but when you add the squat rack (realistically a two post one, not the proper big cage) and some sort of bench, it starts getting pretty expensive.
Gyms vary in price a lot though. From like 19€ a month to like 70 or so I think. I asked someone if the expensive gym is less crowded, but apparently not. Problem is, everyone already knows about them, they've been around for much longer than the cheap gyms (of which one has been around for a decade or so)
Mine is now at $101. :( I'm going to just get some punch cards.
Jesus fuck
🤦♂️
Good luck!
I ain't gay, but 87 euros sure is a lot for a just one shot
The HPV vaccine I received was three doses over a nine month period, so I guess we're talking 29 euros a shot, or 261 for the course, depending
And that’s just for one disease! There’s like thousands of the things!
One might argue that dating a person with HPV puts you at risk as well. one might
Probably just saw the € as a weird cent symbol
Gay for not pay
What an amazing comment chain lol
