its funny that people keep screaming "WE NEED TO LIVE WITH THE VIRUS" like we aren't doing that right now already. this is what living with the virus looks like, we are doing it. they want things to go back to normal and are just going to holler and yell about it instead of actually doing anything meaningful to improve the situation.

It's pretty funny actually, I am learning to live with it. I'm not leaving my home fuckos and judging by the shops and restaurants all closed in my chud area it looks like everyone else is too

how did this operation go?

Pretty well, but still a WIP.

I had a 3-hour videocall with my dad and his SO plus her daughter (only immediate family with a school-age kid). I recorded it with OBS although I ran out of hdd space 2 hours in lol.

I found several concise & illustrative sources for the first 50-60%, from nature.com and other scientific or medical journals.

However when I went into newer or ever-evolving topics like Delta, NPIs, risk for children, etc I got a bit bogged down since the info was spread across dozens of pre-prints and hundreds of tweets and articles and posts from this thread.

So, I'm going to re-record what I did in multiple shorter vids, and then iterate upon them when needed. That way I can keep it up-to-date and the vids themselves might become good enough to be shared publicly.

Right now I'm waiting for some feedback on the 2h~ vid just to ensure that I didn't make any factual errors, and to get constructive criticism on content, presentation, tone, etc.

if you have a high tolerance and take a weed break, you get super moody and poo poo for days but its worth it, even better if you go on months long hiatus and return to a modest sesh

they sure make those dabs pretty high concentrate these days that makes flowers worthless

quote:

COVID-19 is not the only endemic problem in public health. For example, obesity is an endemic problem that leads to diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Sexually transmitted diseases and teen pregnancy are endemic. And the epidemics of HIV, hepatitis, and overdoses due to the use of illicit substances are never‐​ending. Unlike the COVID-19 viral pandemic, which can affect any human in its path, these other conditions usually involve lifestyle choices. But what they all have in common is that we will never be able to eradicate them completely, and efforts to address them get bogged down by politicizing and moralizing. Zero‐​tolerance approaches to all these problems are not only destined to fail, but they cause more harm than good.

A zero‐​tolerance policy toward illicit drug use causes harms to many facets of society, well beyond the harms that result from using tainted black‐​market drugs. Likewise, a zero‐​tolerance policy toward COVID-19 carries tradeoffs involving mental and physical health, education, economic well‐​being, wealth disparity, and societal integrity, well beyond the harms of COVID-19. Accepting the fact that we will never have a drug‐​free society, Congress and the Biden administration are showing a renewed appreciation for harm reduction strategies to address illicit drug use. These strategies aim at making illicit drug use less likely to spread death and disease while accepting that there will always be people who use illicit drugs. Public health officials and policymakers need to accept that we will never have a COVID‐​free society. There will always be new variants and occasional outbreaks. They should pivot to harm reduction strategies to address the COVID-19 pandemic to allow life to go on, as “normal” as possible, in a world where COVID-19 is endemic.

This is the thread for everyone who wanted to go covid zero from the beginning when it was possible. But then the people who love Number and Panera bread bowls said it wasn't possible and then ensured that their declaration came true. It's really quite maddening.

Like just make masks actually required to be worn when transmission is high (not recommended, actually worn) and require people to be vaxxed to participate in society. There, you're pretty much done now. It isn't a binary decision between eternal lockdown and letting healthcare collapse.

How hard is it to obtain certified, live, Delta virions? Like I mean something you can 100% be sure is going to infect someone.
Because I really want someone to show up with a camera crew to one of these fucks while they are speaking, or at their homes, and just challenge them then and there to put up or shut the gently caress up. Inject the 'roni or shut the gently caress up.
