To anyone who doesn’t know how a vaccine works and would like to, this is how! (But oversimplified)
The vaccine basically contains a fake virus (or a disarmed virus), but your body thinks it’s the real virus. When it is injected into your body, your body will think it’s the real thing despite it actually only being a fake virus. Because it thinks it’s the real virus it fights it like it would any other sickness and creates antibodies. These antibodies are what fight and kill the virus. Antibodies continue to live in your body after they kill the virus. (This is why you have an imunity to sicknesses after you get over it). Anyway, now that your body has fought off the fake virus, you have the antibodies to kill the real virus!! So, if you are vaccinated, you will be resistant to the virus if you catch it because you already have the antibodies to fight it off!
The disarmed virus in the vaccine does not effect you in anyway except to promote the creation of antibodies. It will not make you sick like the actual virus.

“Fairy tales do not tell children the dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children the dragons can be killed.”
— G.K. Chesterton

From 1 March 2020, all public transport including trains, trams and buses will be free in Luxembourg. Because the country is so small, much of its workforce lives outside of the country in Germany, France or Belgium, meaning that around 45% of workers cross the border every day (compared to the European average of 0.9%). This has made traffic a major problem in the small wealthy country. Beyond reducing congestion, the law is aimed at helping low-income workers who spend large parts of their salary on travel.

The Principality of Sealand is a micronation off the east coast of England claiming to be an independent country. Found on a World War II sea fort, Sealand was ruled by its founder until his death in 2012 and even experienced an attempted coup in 1978. After a business proposition went sour with a German businessman who had invested in Sealand and acted as its Prime Minister, the German businessman attempted to stage a coup with a band of hired mercenaries seizing the founder’s son hostage on the sea platform. In retaliation, the founder launched a counterattack, freeing his son and taking the German businessman’s lawyer hostage. After an intervention by the British and German governments, the dispute was resolved with the German businessman forming a “rebel government” in exile which still exists.
On the 18th of November 2018, Latvia celebrated 100 years of independence since the declaration of Latvian statehood in the aftermath of World War I.

Famously, in 1989, approximately 2 million people formed a human chain spanning around 675 km (419 miles) to connect the capitals of the three Baltic states to protest Soviet rule and show their desire for independence.

There is room for delicacy in Dominance. It’s not all hard hands and sore arses. I can assert myself gently, fingers against lips, fingers in mouth, hand against your wrist. It’s about knowing when to build to a crescendo with the cymbal bash, and when to just slide them together, let it build and build into something altogether more satisfying. The orchestra needs the punctuation, but an exclamation mark should be used sparingly.
It’s the delicate moments that let me really know. Anyone submits when there’s a collar around their neck, a cock stuffed deep between their legs and a heavy hand against their body, one wrapped around both wrists and the other tight around their neck. You have no choice, in that moment, because I’ve taken it from you. I don’t care if you willingly submit, because I've taken control, seized it with a military coup, all pomp and might and big guns.
Present you with the choice, though, and you’ll submit willingly. You have the choice to pull away, close your lips and stare me down. You can move your head back and you can shake your head. You can reach up and move my hand away. You can say ‘No’. But instead you accept me. No. Not accept. Surrender to. You wave the white flag. You let me win.
I occupy you.
