I thought this was explained yesterday that you just need to then go through a medical review. It isn't that you can never be in the military after covid-19

Recruits can apply for waivers for all permanently disqualifying conditions, including surviving COVID-19.

The fact of the matter is the country is hypernormalized. All the magical thinking and numbness is apart of it.

Like I said, the bottom will fall out before people riot. I don't think there will be riots. Just slow, agonizing decline until it falls apart. And then when it happens, nobody will really be surprised or shocked.

However, without any further guidance for exceptions dealing with COVID-19, a review authority would have no justification to grant a waiver.

quote:

A man who was stopped at a Miami Beach Publix for not wearing a mask was caught on body camera footage going on a profanity-laced rant. On Sunday night, just before the Publix closed, an unidentified man was denied entrance to the store. And it set him off.

“You are in violation of my loving constitutional rights and my civil rights,” the man is seen screaming in the footage. The explicit rant was caught on the bodycamera of a code enforcement officer who was doing routine checks.

“Excuse me, you need to wear a mask, do you understand that?” the officer is heard asking. “gently caress you motherfucker, there’s no pandemic, I’m filing a motherfucker lawsuit. I have a right to buy groceries without being forced to participate in your loving terrorism,” he says.

add it to the list.

a good analysis looks at many possible end states, not just the one, that one thinks will happen.

it’s a big trap for smart people. smart people tend to look at a situation and reach a reasonable conclusion about what they think will happen. they then proceed and plan for that one scenario that they think will happen.

a better way to think about it is multiple potential scenarios, and that one doesn’t know which will end up occurring, though some are certainly more or less likely.

a person who thinks they can accurately predict the future is a rube, not a smart person

so the end result of those polls showing that like half of all republicans think walking around in public is perfectly safe compared to like 3% of liberals is that none of the dem voters (60+% of whom were "not very" motivated to vote for biden iirc) are actually going to turn out while all the chuds who came out in droves to vote for trump even in unopposed primaries are going to risk death to pull that lever, right

smart people often get used to being correct and trusting their own opinions over the opinions of others. often they don’t have other smart people around to knock em down either.

A good partner knows when to give some space to do things on your own. Relaxing or doing an activity by yourself actually strengthens relationships (assuming you're not doing it way too often or to get away from your SO. )

Same, I always try to get my wife to go camping and she always bails and then me and the kids have a great time without her and she has a great time without us and we all have a great time swapping stories when we get back.

this is a great time to set up bird feeders and hummingbird feeders. got a jar of expired peanuts, shelled or unshelled? got a bag of white sugar? make some bird food and feed the got drat birds! it's great. even if you only get trash birds in your area, you can feel a sense of communion with them because we're just trash animals ourselves

hmm if this gets bad enough wrt causing lasting damage and folks end up being medically incapable of doing armyman poo poo, and if the trumpiest states are the ones that are most encouraging its spread, then this could create a significant recruitment issue in the medium term and make the odds of a draft rise a lot

Evanston Skokie Illinois. Its the closest place to downtown Chicago where you can buy a single family house with private lakeshore, so the school district has a gradient going from people whose families are rich enough they own the Only Deep Water Dock in Cook County for a Yacht down to where are the servants lived in the redlining days (after they had to move out of the servants quarters at the mansions) . Lots of northwestern professor kids too who don't have the wealth but do have the family support.

I bet it's going better for older kids but the preschool setup is a disaster with this stupid app. We only get to do a 15 minute zoom call once a week instead of daily for no apparent reason.


In far more important news the pandemic inspired my wife and I to finish pandemic legacy, played 4 sessions the last 4 days. Took about 45 months start to finish (began in summer of 16), but having a horrible virus definitely helped us want to see that board game through.
