Today's my 250th consecutive day of doing spanish lessons on duolingo, that's kind of cool. My spanish isn't a lot better than it was, but I'm starting to get some of the basic ideas down. It's not much, but I'm kind of proud of myself.

You found the fabled person this thread talks about occasionally, who would probably do the right thing if the various smart people clubs could maintain some sort of consistency.

That's what kind of struck me, he yelled at the clerk, but he didn't really attack him as the cause of this. He knew this wasn't this man's idea, he immediately blamed it on the unvaxxinated chuds down south. If he hadn't been lied to and had his hopes hosed around with, he might not be mad about this today

I paint things
My dipshit mom pulled me out of school from 6th-7th grade because my dads abuse was getting too obvious and she needed to hide it. I "home schooled"* and landed back in 8th grade almost on track - little trouble with math but I was never great at math and my mom was dumber than a sack of rocks.

There's kids who come through literal years of war who catch back up and end up where they need to be.


The kids will be all right.

Or the radiation from all the playground equipment piping that the oil industry donated will melt their brains. Whatever.

Staying safe from covid and falling a little behind on the weird rear end expectations we set on kids is probably fine in comparison to that.

Cant be worse than boomer brain

I did a job interview at an engineering firm this week and i came in wearing a kn95. Got to the conference room and the guy says "you can take that off if you're vaccinated."
I say "i am, but the pfizer vaccine is only 40% effective against delta"
He says "huh"
After the interview they took me on a tour of the office. I was the only person wearing a mask out of like 100. Lmao.

Jeez I'm really sorry man, that's awful. Truly hope it begins to subside.

If you don't mind me asking, how long ago were you infected & how severe were the symptoms? I'm trying to inform some fam on the true level of risk and longcov is hard to distill.

So while I have the thing a lot of the long haulers have, I didn't get it from Covid. POTS is an autonomic disorder that gets brought on by trauma to the body in some way - surgery, childbirth, accidents, infections, a whole bunch of stuff. So what the longhaulers are running into, where they get infected and then recover and test negative, but still have super rough symptoms without any indicators of illness - a lot of that is POTS, specifically brain fog and fainting and nausea and GI stuff and orthostatic intolerance, but it manifests in a bunch of ways. There are longterm complications from covid that aren't POTS, but POTS is one of the main ones that covid longhaulers get.

I got sick in January 2018. Didn't get a diagnosis until end of 2019. Things have improved, but my life will never look close to the same as it did. I had to leave the career I trained for and worked in for close to 15 years, and haven't held a steady job since I got sick. I'm 32 years old now, and prior to this was in otherwise pretty solid health.

My wife and I would see a car parked outside a school every time we went on a walk in our old neighborhood last year that had "Teachers for a safe reopening! We deserve a choice!" written on the windows. Seeing all this news about school infections makes me wonder if she's going to double down or erase that poo poo in short order. I know the answer deep down in my heart, though. Looks like the bespoke child sized coffin industry is really set to kick off.

Just so funny that not a single school is willing to take preemptive action

are they really that arrogant and stupid to think they'll be special? are they just cowards who need to be able to point to a currently happening harmful thing before they can muster the courage to take any action? of course this was what would happen! did none of them plan for what to do if a kid had covid spewing out of him all day in a packed classroom? is this what they planned to do? if it is why even loving try to do the semester like this at all? it's so incredibly disruptive and so completely certain to happen that you'd rather just skip to the part that they planned for if "a sick kid at school" happened like 4 or 5 times in a row. i hope they planned for that absolutely certain eventuality because they're at that point now, like a week into school.

and I just gotta be like... okay. I don't get how she's worried enough to stay home and avoid working in the office but not worried enough to be safe in any other way

the answer is simple and it is directly related to how convenient the behavior is

they tried to switch to weekly updates but it didn't really work out for them. now we're back to getting sorta daily updates, sometimes it's every 2-3 days

they also changed how they're reporting deaths, to muddy the waters even further

https://twitter.com/SunSentinel/status/1426296037518585863

(non paywall link)

along with poo poo like going back and quietly revising previous numbers, announcing updates late at night after all the olds have turned off the news and gone to bed, completely eliminating their own official covid dashboard site, etc

basically just totally loving around making everything as confusing and unclear as they possibly can

the civil war caused on average 500 deaths a day. we dipped below 500 deaths a day six weeks ago (and are already back above it again), and have been above 500 deaths a day for the entirety of the 18 months of pandemic.

it's an incredibly large number of deaths.

Add in one lesson from Language Transfer a day and you'll learn a ton more. I started with that and then went to duo lingo for vocab. I'm on day 100 or something there.
