Thank you, world. Thank you for extending this madness. Thank you for robbing me of the experience of saying goodbye to my friend. I'm so sorry, friend. I never got to say goodbye properly to my cat of 15 years when she passed back in 2016, and it still hurts. It gets better, with time, but it still hurts. Condolences. EDIT: cat tax of my current, healthy cat

the situation was that once Rahm announced he wouldn't run, we had a free for all with 11 mayoral candidates. The top three leading candidates were Toni Preckwinkle, a black woman who's the known and already kind of hated director of cook county, a daley fail brother, and Lightfoot. The universal expectation was that once the runoff was over it'd be Preckwinkle vs the Daley. Except just enough rich white people and cops in a couple neighborhoods hated the fail daley, or "faley," that they voted for their own homegrown candidate, leading to the hilarious result of Lightfoot vs Preckwinkle. Lightfoot sucked and people knew it but she wasn't as known and everyone had prepared their messaging for daley vs preckwinkle so people went with the person they didn't already know sucked. and that's how we got lightfoot.

Thank you, world. Thank you for extending this madness. Thank you for robbing me of the experience of saying goodbye to my friend. I'm sorry for your loss. I had a similar experience with my hamster, who passed away a few months ago. If it's any comfort, all the vets I've known are very compassionate people and they were there with your cat in her last moments.

It also did apply to diet pop, just total disaster implementation Oh and it was rammed through after performative pink slips for employees because the tax was needed for the budget! But then it got repealed and no one got laid off Edit sorry about the cat, big cummers

gradenko_2000 posted:really? Like my hazy recollection of anyone even talking about the Chicago mayoral election was that "okay, she's black and she's lesbian, but also she's a cop and is probably going to be completely loving awful" She was a Democrat, there were definitely fans of hers just for that alone There are people on this very forum who overlook Tara Reade's accusations against Biden as a "conspiracy theory" Because he's a Democrat. Some people are just in this as a team sport and care about nothing else really. It's always maddening, but it gets particularly infuriating during times like this (or Cuomo's Emmy)

Paradoxish posted:Doesn't really mean that much imo Obviously there are logistical hurdles and they couldn't actually be vaccinated in two days. The largest barrier to vaccinating teachers seems to be that many states simply aren't allowing them to be vaccinated.

I grew up poor as gently caress and one of my earliest happiest memories was my dad giving me two quarters to run to the soda machine at the office where he worked to get a 12 oz bottle of soda. I got maybe one every other month. Rightful persecution of capitalism aside, let's poo poo on the rich before we take happy memories away.

id also want to see the neutralization / transmissibility of a single dose. i thought that was part of the magic of the second dose. but gently caress it, no one is going to behave like they are a potential positive after their second dose anyway. best to get severe disease down to next to nothing as quickly as possible if we're going to insist the only way forward is endemic, forever mutating and evading covid

quote:There may be uncertainty about the duration of protection with a single dose, but the administration of a second dose within 1 month after the first, as recommended, provides little added benefit in the short term, while high-risk persons who could have received a first dose with that vaccine supply are left completely unprotected. Given the current vaccine shortage, postponement of the second dose is a matter of national security that, if ignored, will certainly result in thousands of Covid-19–related hospitalizations and deaths this winter in the United States — hospitalizations and deaths that would have been prevented with a first dose of vaccine. ah. 1 dose now. potentially 2 more doses after we figure out how long 1 dose lasts (we don't know)
