i got the experimental serum almost a year ago today and i'm healthier than ever. the thick carapace of crystalline scales that now covers my entire epidermis took some getting used to but it turns out now i am nigh invulnerable and may well be immortal so you take the good with the bad.

Looks? Well, this looks to be a complete waste of my time. That, my friend, is 85 nicker in any store you're lucky enough to find one in. And you're haggling over 25 pound?

after the vaccine's second dose I was sick for like a day but I didn't have to be intubated and I could still smell and taste and I have no long-lasting symptoms from the vaccine whatsoever. so it's probably better than the alternative, which is to get covid

Unless I missed something new in the news last week Larry Page still did MIQ. His kid skipped it but only because that was a medievac and they went straight to hospital anyway.

He did want a better hotel though https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/health/coronavirus/300375661/larry-page-billionaires-entourage-requested-miq-hotel-upgrade

third shot report, CVS, florida

when i made an appointment, i didn't notice that my CVS account was associated with my mother's name - i'm managing her medication, and wasn't paying enough attention during the registration process. the form i had to fill out did have my name on it, but it didn't matter, CVS recognized the email address and put in a reservation for my mother -- with my date of birth, address, etc. i could have rescheduled for tomorrow, but i just wanted to get it done. after a couple of phone calls, i went in without a reservation.

there was no line whatsoever. being the only half-mask wearing member of the community, as far as i've seen, that was kind of expected. i walked up to the counter and explained my situation, they told me to just register as a walk-in. filled out all of the paperwork -- which did ask a lot of questions about immune disorders, so i marked the one i actually do have as a yes, but they didn't review the paperwork at all before they administered the shot (moderna). the wait was well under five minutes. they didn't even mention insurance.

i had to sign the standard waivers and produce my CDC card. i asked if they wanted to look at my medical records, since i'd assumed they would (and printed a few pages that had my immune disorder on them). the pharmacist said, verbatim, "nah, i trust you." i think he was just happy to give someone a booster.

after being given the shot, i was asked to mill around in the store for ten minutes. CVS sells key lime kit-kats, if anyone's interested. they look good.

i've lost a significant amount of weight since my second shot in february, and i didn't have an immune response at all for the first two, just a bit of a sore arm. i'm wondering if my being healthier in general will make this one worse, but i don't care, i'm just happy i'm boosted.

poo poo, that turned into an essay

I know doctors have their oaths, but gently caress if I kind of have a real hard time not seeing anyone who gives him treatment as a real piece of poo poo.
The man is directly responsible for the maiming and murder of literally tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands or even millions depending how much spread you want to directly lay at his feet, of people. And if he is healed, he will go right back to it. He is, like all Republicans, a fascist with no place in a civilized society, but even by the low bar set by his peers, he stands out as a monster who's crimes are so egregious they transcend our ability to even meaningfully punish. While there is nothing we can do that would even approximate justice, I'd say that the best we can do is to let him suffer and die from the very thing he used to murder and maim his victims.

gently caress this piece of poo poo.

Well the worst you will get is mini-COV19 feeling feeling for a day or two as your immune system ramps up.

Some people don't get the above for whatever reason.

You don't want to get the real thing, some people I know even for flu like minor cases had the shakes and other misery for 2 - 3 weeks.

lol fair enough, guess they still have to go through the same pleb quarantine as us


i got insanely lucky and was quarantined at the destination city i had to go, so it saved me the trouble of finding another flight and problem of getting the luggage through

some other people on the same flight weren't so lucky and they had to book another flight back to where they need to go


also this was the view for 2 weeks

I went through the list of notable Americans who died from COVID this year, and the only ones who weren't old as dirt were washed up sports players and musicians, so I doubt there was much wealth there

I did find out about this guy though, lol:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Nalle

quote:

David F. Nalle (March 19, 1959 in Beirut, Lebanon – February 13, 2021) was a political writer, game author and font designer who was active in the early history of the development of the internet. He was at one time Chairman of the Republican Liberty Caucus, a group that promotes libertarianism within the Republican Party, Senior Politics Editor at Blogcritics online magazine, and was the CEO of Scriptorium Fonts.

quote:

Nalle returned to political activism after his unsuccessful run for State Representative in 2002, becoming involved with the Republican Liberty Caucus and eventually serving as Vice Chairman from 2007 to 2009 and Chairman (2009–2013). He also worked as an adviser and consultant on a number of campaigns in the 2008, 2010 and 2012 elections, specializing in new media campaigns and message framing. In 2011 he was an adviser to Texas Senatorial Candidate Ted Cruz, and as Texas State Director for the Gary Johnson presidential campaign. Nalle appeared in TV ads for the Ted Cruz in the U.S. Senate race in 2012. Towards the end of the 2012 election Nalle joined Liberty Torch Political Consulting. Nalle was the policy and messaging adviser for the firm. In 2012 he also became a member of the advisory board of the Coalition to Reduce Spending.

Nalle, as vice chairman of the Republican Liberty Caucus, initially endorsed Rand Paul in the 2016 U.S. Presidential election

quote:

On February 11, 2021, Nalle's partner, Maggie Perkins, reported that Nalle had contracted COVID-19 and was critically ill. On February 14, 2021, Perkins posted on her Facebook page that Nalle had died the previous day. Prominent American game designer Steve Jackson posted an obituary, remembering Nalle as "a game designer (Ysgarth), publisher (Ragnarok Press), font designer [...] and libertarian gadfly."
