I'm pretty sure I've gotten it since getting the vaccine and boosters, but it was super mild in comparison.

Basically I figured it was a cold until I stopped smelling things again for a couple days, but in under a week I was fine. No test to confirm.

If I'm going to be in close proximity to people I still wear a mask, but my day-to-day allows me to avoid people for the most part.

Boss: "can you explain why your random drug test came back positive for thc?"

Me: "yeah, it's legal and I have a life outside of work. Sorry if you can't relate, but my personal time is just that. Personal."

This exchange did not go well from there, but guess who got fired for something first. (hint: not me)

Well... The species will probably survive, as will a plethora of other species on the planet.

The things that definitely won't survive are modern society and it's status quo.

Nobody wants a nuclear war. I think we can all agree that it would be bad for an uncountable number of reasons.

Well, I could have gone into detail about their scientific and industrial value, but those aren't what massively inflates their perceived importance and price.

I got covid before I was allowed to get the first vaccines and I'm still pissed about that since I drove by the closest vaccination spot every day for work and it was almost always empty. I lived in a very red area so it was very much a case of "doors are open but nobody's lining up" but I was still not part of o e of the groups they allowed to get one yet.

So yeah, I will be continuing to keep up on it, because that was the worst 2 months of my adult life, and I am absolutely certain I got some of the cognitive side effects of covid.

What a weird question to ask, NYT

Cool, I can burn it to ash with the tools in my garage.

Diamonds are shiny/glittery and hard, that's about it.

Hmm. Too bad you need a bunch of resources for those instead of... Idk, waving your hand and saying some words.

In the same vein, "Holy shit, that WORKED?"

I mean, the "front page" of lemmy is basically "POLLS? POLLS!" already but I'm positive it'll get 10x worse.

Nor can they Magick-up all their needs, or transmute gold.

*I didn't ask how close those buildings are, I said "I cast FIREBALL" *

Legit my first thought was "why are we celebrating TV RATINGS like they somehow equate to voting?"

You can have 50,000,000 people watch the same TV show but not buy any merchandise. A lot won't even have the ability to purchase something from the show.

And I sure plenty of people watching last night won't be able to vote for one reason or another.

I always confront those people with "and what do you think would happen to YOU in such a place? History doesn't think it will be good" but then they double down or make some mental gymnastic leap to why it's okay.

Surely the leopards won't eat THEIR face.

If all the joint chiefs and secretaries of [thing] said "we will be marching in Ottowa in 3 days" it really doesn't matter if the president said it. Because even if he hasn't said it in a press conference to the world, he most certainly agrees with the people who DO think it's a slam dunk.

I'm sure anything you said or linked would have been met with "that's western propaganda" like they're not shaking hands with MAGAts screeching fake news at things they don't like.

Yet another crime to throw on the pile.

It's illegal to misrepresent emergency weather information.

Drawing a sharpie to make people who were not in the forecasted path of a hurricane panic and seek shelter/evacuate should be a minimum fine/90 days in jail.

Obviously neither happened.

I've seen police show and threaten arrest up over someone using the emergency broadcast tones too loud at a park on a nice day. But (at the time) commander-in-queef gets free passes to do illegal shit at least once a week.

Totally the same legal system for ruling(owning)/non ruling(the poors) classes.

That is a very weird way to phrase "Old man throws temper tantrum and refuses to do previously agreed upon interview when called out for lying"

As far as I'm concerned, every media outlet that sugarcoats things, or misrepresent things, or otherwise skews the truth about what the MAGAts are up to are 100% in bed with Republicans, and are mouthpieces for the MAGAgenda

unexpected plans changing.

This is the biggest one I've seen.

"Oh X needs to be at Y today so the person who usually takes them to daycare is unavailable, can you take them?"

And then you're on autopilot, going to work like you do every day. Your body can be trained to do certain things automatically, with basically no mental input on your side. You never take the kid to daycare because your schedule. Then the ONE DAY that your routine changes.... It's one of the most important things you need to keep in mind.

Ever pulled your car into a spot and thought to yourself "wait I don't remember stopping at any lights HOLY SHIT DID I JUST RUN EVERY RED" but the truth is, no. You did not. Either they are so routine to stop at that you don't notice on autopilot, or there WERE no reds. You are not a bad or negligent driver. You were on autopilot.

Autopilot doesn't understand change.

I can't imagine wanting a wet sentence...

Perfectly put.
