Of course I brought it, I ain't stupid, lol. Plus a ton of N95 masks. I think the only difference between Japan and America with regard to the pandemic is that Japan will probably end up with a higher vax rate.

you used to work construction iirc, if you're feeling spry some day it's not a big deal to cut a 24" x 24" x 8" trench and place a proper footer :


but if it ain't broke .....

one of the biggest perks of being WFH for so long now is that I haven't had to have anyone ask me if I watch Big Bang Theory and then go on to tell me how much I'd like it if I try it

There's a very solid anti-vax base here. There's a multitude of reasons for that, some of them - unlike in the US - actually sound such as the government using vax as a cover to conduct basically eugenics by involuntarily sterilizing people - and no I don't mean WW2 I mean in recent modern times. lmao. welcome! welcome to Japan!

I certainly got at least four anti vax flyers into my post-box.
I kinda regret binning them now.

Also an anti vax poster at my local notice board, which I tore down because it was just pure-strain BS assigning the COVID deaths to the vax.
It's the chrono-trigger of vaccines, it actually goes back in times and kills them before they even get it.

I can co-sign on this. Although Japan is better than the US about wearing masks, vaccine hesitancy is way higher, around 45-55%

They have insane rumor-mongering about vaccines like in the US, just more of it

Moderna having contaminated batches is just going to make it worse

In 1994, a disabled Japanese woman called for abolishing the law at the U.N.-coordinated International Conference on Population and Development held in Egypt, which became a catalyst for its abolition two years later.

one time i ordered 200 whippets off ebay and they came loose in a box. the postman asked me if it was ammo.
one day, after spending a couple weeks knocking out half the box, i did four whippets in a row, and lost all feeling in my hands for the next week. pretty weird tattooing with numb hands but eventually it went away and i never did another whippet again.

my wife used to work at a head shop as the assistant manager, and their basement door got hosed up by a car backing into it and didn't get fixed for almost a year. this pallet of whippits was in there and the boxes had some water damage on the bottom, so they couldn't sell them anymore. they let us take them home. It was 50 boxes of whippits and every single one of them worked, and we didn't pay a cent for them. it was awesome.

um, you lost all feeling in your hands for a week? did you go to a doctor? cause that's weird and I've never heard of anything remotely like that happening from using nitrous

i can finally join in the covid cat posting

adopted her today, was not at all planning to have a cat yet but someone was moving out of the country and couldn't take her and she has feline leukemia so going to a shelter here is an instant death sentence. spent today getting everything ready for her and she's really sweet but of course kinda freaked out about being in a new environment. seems to be in good health and she's only 7 months old so apparently there's still a chance that her body might naturally shed the virus / handle it well enough to live a long life

no idea what kind of cat she is, guessing a mix since she was originally rescued off of the street as a kitten

Ok another update on Covid Sim. There are now two factions vying for influence - the pro-vax and anti-vax factions. Eventually one will gain the upper hand in each room. Hanging signs adjusted the influence in that area. Usually around 5-7 days for influence to take hold.



There is a small chance a character will get vaxxed on their own. A character who turns pro-vax is more likely to get vaccinated. A character who is anti-vax has a 0% chance to get vaccinated on their own.

I'm going to take a break now i think, but I might pick it up again later tonight for small things that come across my mind as I think of them.

tuyop is white? have I confused you with another militantly black poster?

I rarely get a chance to point this out, so I will say that I chose this name because as anyone who has done nitrous enough time knows, once you're at the end of your wippits you'll probably wind up looking through the spent cartridges to see if you missed a good one. the brutal truth is that, like my posts, it's never a good one
