On the other hand, they clearly don’t mind injecting mass-manufactured substances into their bodies that make them feel like poo poo the next day.

Cheesecake Factory is one of America’s least bad chain restaurants.  It’s not saying much, but it’s true.

If you go into Manhattan and decide to eat at Applebee's you should be arrested anyway, vaccine or not.

My dad and his coworkers did that with an actual Channel 7 news crew that was doing a best pizza in new York thing when he worked for UPS. "Best pizza in the city? Pizza hut. " Years before the office. Different lunch break, different news crew, different year, they got approached by cameras and the real Cosmo Kramer who was running for mayor and he asks "will you vote for me?" and my dad says "It depends on your platform, give me one of your flyers." and the real Cosmo Kramer says "I can't. I only got the one." Very funny but didn't air because the guy my dad was with called Kramer a loving idiot. We haven't been in to the city since 2019 and are going in saturday because my wife and I haven't had a night to ourselves in two years but I'm nervous. My friend who is vaccinated just contracted it and tested positive after going to Nitehawk, which checks cards and she mentioned friends who are vaxxed going to vaccinated only events and now testing positive. We might just stay in the hotel most of the time, I don't know.

found out from mom that not only my engineer uncle and his wife, my aunt, have still yet to get vaxxed, but my loving doctor aunt and uncle are also not vaxxed. The latter aunt is rumored to have “early retired” from her decades long practice because of this, and is considering moving to TN for reasons peculiar. This was accidentally slipped during thanksgiving so we’re not to know!! happy holidays!!!!!!!!!!!!! E: guess the flavor of Christianity they subscribe to!!!!! teen witch fucked around with this message at 13:28 on Dec 16, 2021 |

I’m glad my huge chud parents are fully committed to vaccines and boosting. My dad complains about it often (for some reason he likes to call them “weak rear end vaccines” and compare them unfavorably to natural immunity?) but still gets his shots because better the vaccine immunity than rolling the dice of a COVID infection at 67 years old and overweight. One of those increasingly rare cases of self-preservation overruling tribal allegiance, I guess.

I have zero clue about chuddad and don’t want to know (we’re estranged). I’m ever so grateful my mother, who has worked in a non nurse healthcare position for decades, is on her shots and boosters, and ensures my grandparents are as well. My mom laughed in my aunt’s face when apparently a ~radiologist~ told her about the vaccine and how she doesn’t need it. I’d do the same exact thing, mom  Silver lining: my incredibly religious aunts and uncles can never visit me in the EU, and bear witness to my blasphemous lifestyle in the flesh. Saves me the loving hassle.

GIRL BRAINS posted:Are they letting people boost before six months? I’m skeptical, but either that or I might see if I can go for a double vaxx. Or at least see if I can get my proof of vaccination in the EU onto a white card just in case some idiot cannot comprehend the EU pass. Like whatever inroad I can get, I’ll take. I haven’t been outside Sweden since Jan 2020, so I feel like I’m actually experiencing the pandemic for the first time. People are mandated to wear masks indoors (NYS just brought back the rule), and like, even with my layover in Finland, I’m existing in places where this is taken seriously and not just existing on the goodwill of “recommendations”. It truly is a night and day difference. These are the first instances, minus getting vaccinated, where I am required to mask up, or face a fine. It is December goddamn 2021 and that isn’t ok! I think a lot of this is my mental exhaustion dealing with this pandemic. I loving masked up. I did my due diligence, got tested when I suspected the first sign, got vaxxed asap, and played it smart to the best of my abilities. I missed out on so much because of this pandemic. And we are still loving here because others refuse to do the most basic of precautions, for themselves or for their fellow human. That those who are to lead us will cower behind rules that hurt us more than help us because they are rules and are thus clearly inert and unable to be changed in the face of new information or situations. None of this is an entirely Swedish issue, many places are just “eh whatever”ing this and abdicating our shared humanity out of cowardice, ignorance and the refusal to admit that you might have been wrong. It’s ok to gently caress up, cop to it and try to do better. Don’t keep doing the same drat wrong thing again to soothe your ego.

Welp. My dad is in the hospital for a chronic health condition and can’t go home for a bit. Even when he can leave there, he needs to go to inpatient physical rehab for a few weeks. He received a booster shot in August, so I am not sure how protected he is. My mom was also boosted at the same time but is immunosuppressed. I can’t help because they’re on the other side of the country, so all I can really do is send encouragement and cross my fingers. It seems almost inevitable that they’ll get omicron given the circumstances. I sure hope I’m wrong though!

Maybe I'm just not seeing it from the outside, but is the US panicking as much abiut Omicron as Canada is? I'm in Toronto and the news and government are completely in panic mode and we just released extremely scary modelling numbers and upped everyone's booster to 3 months with an expected lock down of some kind being announced tomorrow. But when I look at twitter and US news it seems like it's barely being mentioned? Is it just delayed because this is the first time Canada is surging before the US?

UK is full on some sort of weird dismissive and yet very  mode.Like, the gubmint is clearly mega spooked by the numbers and projections to the degree of begging people to get boosters yet you can go out in London tomorrow and find every pub, venue and club be rammed with people. The "show vaccine proof or negative lf test" guidance is good but, you know, lf registry is based on honor system and like people with vaccines getting this poo poo as easy as everyone else now or at least it feels like it. Work from home "guidance" is not a mandate but as far as central London goes, it seems like majority of the companies go by it. Basically, if you listen the news, we're back to 2020 Christmas. If you go outside, it's 2019 with some additional mandates. Christmas and January is absolutely going to be an absolute shitshow, regardless if they go full on SHUT DOWN EVERYTHING which sounds near impossible at this point. Idk man, poo poo's hosed up in here as well

Not the news, but my work sent out some forced memes in emails about happily returning to the office in January in an attempt to make the return all cutesy and none of my coworkers are having it. Word around the digital office cooler is middle management and up will still get to WFH indefinitely. If it wouldn't get me fired I was tempted to send in one that was all, "Omicron? No the machine must feast on your labor, some of you will catch it and be maimed and even die, but our shareholders demand your sacrifice. Only the weak will die, the glorious will earn us more money." I can't imagine that's a unique situation for most other Americans at least in the private sector. All the news coverage I've seen about omicron has been playing up that deadly wrong myth that, "it's less dangerous to catch it if you're vaccinated, but more contagious so it'll outcompete delta and viruses always get weaker over time."

Upper management made everyone in my company go back to the office full time in December. We got like a week's notice, too, so good luck if you had to make arrangements for child care. The justification was that we need to make our presence known in person, whatever that means. And yes, everyone in upper management is still working from home. We had a big zoom meeting last week and everyone more than one step above me was very obviously in their house. They're requiring masks and I'm vaxxed and boosted and all, but holy poo poo the blatant hypocrisy is insane.

I donated blood today and the manager dude told me my blood is in an expedite bag to go directly to a child I said you’re welcome but internally i was thinking I hope this blood goes to a kid whose parents are antivax and they throw a fit about it but end up agreeing, and then it gives them acid indigestion.

My last job, which I left in the middle of the pandemic, has 9000+ people crammed into three buildings with no social distancing, no mask mandate, no vaccine mandate, no positive case reporting to exposed employees, you catch the drift. Sooooo, I'm pretty thankful I go into the office once a week with about 20 other people, all but one of which is vaccinated
