Sorry hold on a second are you saying that you lied about being a nurse or something to get the vaccine early?

I think what Goobusters is trying to say is that there is such a large number of vaccines going unused (and in danger of going bad) that they'll vaccinate anyone so long as they show up.

I didn't lie about anything. I just showed up to the clinic and waited in line and filled out a contact registration form and they gave it to me. They're giving it to everyone here.

yeah that's how i read it. i hadn't thought about that. maybe i'll call them and see if they'll take me just to get rid of some supply.

This has been a problem in a lot of states because they’ll get a lot of doses for nurses/first responders, but not actually coordinate with other locations (like nursing homes or other hospitals) for back up plans in case they have extra doses. They only last for so long and you can’t re-freeze, so they just start giving it to anyone who shows to not waste any

One note on the vaccine availability here is that the phone lines are jammed all the time since everyone's trying to find out when the next shipment arrived. I went in person a week before getting it and talked with the folks there to get a more accurate picture. If you do anything online, the info is either outdated or vague on purpose. Calling is the best option, but I experienced long holds.

Also word of mouth, my parents in their group chats have this whole thing where people are finding out and just letting their friends and family know.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

They had a moderately sized barge that they sank and measured the amount of suction (negligible), then tried it out in the bay with Adam Savage.

There's also the fact that people have been standing of sinking ships and not gotten sucked down (like the Titanic's cook). It's just an urban myth that feels true. I've also only ever heard it from Americans, so it seems to be your equivalent of fan death.

I never heard this from Americans before I joined SA, only non-americans, so this is wrong.

That methodology seems very bad, too. You can't just extrapolate from a single ship size without taking into account how much more water progressively heavier hulls would displace

And if they get their basic math this wrong, then my only conclusion based on your explanations is that the mythbusters did a bad experiment

I mean, aside from the myth busters there's also the fact that it doesn't seem to have ever happened, and loads of occasions where a guy on even large sinking ship floated just fine.

Edit: people getting pulled into cabins and decks that are flooding is real though, and probably how the myth started

Well, the mythbusters could still be right, it's just that their work as shown isn't impressing me! Also with the way large ships often go down, it's probably hard to prove if it's the mass of the ship or some flooding holes in the hull doing the killing. Some warships also go down so fast or so bad (e. g. capsizing) that there are lots of interesting ways to drown beyond simply getting dragged under. :v:

I'm struggling to think of a time a vaccine rollout has actually gone badly, outside like unavoidable margin of error bad batches. It just seems like a nonsense thing to be afraid of that only idiots and gullible conspiracy weirdos worry about.

I suppose the time they infected black people with anthrax back in the 50s but that seems unlikely with this to say the least.

Hopefully anyone who made a career out of solely vlogging at Disneyland can pivot to something else. I mean they probably already should have been doing that for the past ten months so this would just be a bigger reason for them to do so.

If other people have to accept that things like playing video games for the internet is a viable career than we also have to accept that going to the same theme park at least once a week if not more to see what the difference is between a churro that has green poo poo sprinkled on it and a churro that's got some purple poo poo sprinkled on it is just as viable a career. They were the infinity churros you see.

I mean now it might not be financially feasible for them to keep doing it unless they're able to like, write off those daily tickets as a business expense on their taxes maybe.

Some might also just refuse to even accept that the annual passes are going away.

Didn't a bunch of the AIDS medications they rushed through approval turn out to be poison or placebos? Or was that just the poo poo that was smuggled in when they were refusing to wokr on testing any AIDS medication?

First of all just wanted to post LMFAO at this post. Thank you it was a very funny.

And to the bolded, unless you’re like in New York or some state that is extremely strict, it is very easy to get the vaccine. I got it last week and all I had to was just line and they stopped giving a gently caress about any sort of qualifications. They just want to give it to people.

Well the way the news made it sound like they were having distribution problems everywhere, and weren't able to distribute it as quickly as they were hoping. I haven't heard anything about it being available to the general public yet here in Washington as of yet. Maybe it is, but I, nor anyone I live with has received anything from our health care providers about where to go to get it.

He routinely embarrasses himself on twitter by dying on the glorious hill that is defending Movie Bob's worst takes. Seriously. He even quote tweeted a goon friend of mine (Chitoryu12) multiple times after Chit made fun of Movie Bob. Tony kept pathetically trying and failing to own him lol. Then Chit said Tony looked like a “sleep paralysis demon played by Ron Jeremy" in which case Tony Goldmark started accusing Chit of "harassment!!1!":qq: even tho Tony was the one who was quote tweeting chit to all of his followers (which is not a responsible thing to do when you have a huge fan base/tons of followers)

In conclusion, gently caress him imo

I think Hbomberguy plans on doing a video on VtM:BL. Specifically as a response to Noah Gervais's video on it. Don't know if that's still in the works tho.


Also, Mega 64 and Rocco, in particular, are the best. Who doesn't know about the mega64 boys???

Yup! He said the Change the Channel people were just ungrateful. Then after Doug canceled the 10th anniversary movie, which really disappointed Tony because he claims he was going to have a huge part in it (probably because he was one of the only people left at CA at that point lol), he switched sides and left CA. He also apologized to Allison, publically on Twitter. Which I thought was nice of him at the time, but now it looks like he just kisses up to anyone he thinks can give him E fame
