Never had that problem with chopsticks. I found them very easy. The big long table ones are a pain though.

To be serious, I can use chopsticks, although fairly slowly and clumsily...

The Japanese ones are awkward but regular Chinese are fine. Because the Indonesians use a spoon and fork you are given an alternative in Chinese restaurants as they are seldom pure Chinese.

No we did not. Plenty of Asian and Indian cultures dont use chop sticks. A few still use fingers and hands.
Chopsticks are a sign of sophistication and eating one time with my sis in the Japanese Trade Centre in Brussel I realised how clumsy I was when seeing our geisha serving food in our private booth while sitting on the floor. A meal never to forget and thank goodness my sisters expense account was paying for it.

Masks! Vaccination!
A man was critically injured on New Year's Day after ranting against vaccine mandates and lighting himself on fire in public.

The incident occurred on Saturday evening in Melbourne, Australia. After vocally railing against the state of Victoria's vaccine mandates, the man doused himself in gasoline and set both himself and his car on fire, according to local news outlet the Herald Sun.

but was the fire he lit on himself hot enough to sterilize him thoroughly?

An anti-vaxxer idiot to be sure, but the saga of attempting to ban him, the court case and future bans possible is an example of the chaotic nature of our current government...

A well-known German hacker collective ("Zerforschung") was able to produce evidence which shows that his positive test result was forged:
