Bird in a Blender posted:The anti-vax crowd has grown ever since there was a debunked report that vaccines cause autism. The report never had any actual evidence, but crazy moms clung onto it. Combine that with naturlists, hippie granola moms, and then the general anti-government/anti-science crowd and there were already a bunch of anti-vaxers. Most of those were parents not vaccinating their kids though, since they had been given vaccines as kids already. This was leading to mumps and measles outbreaks in certain communities. all the distrust wasn't helped by things like Bayer intentionally giving people AIDs bc they didn't want to throw away their contaminated blood clotting agents. the joys of capitalism are people do slowly absorb the reality that everyone in power can and will gently caress you at the drop of a hat but the only ones with a prominent alternative explanation to how to deal with that reality are right wing crazies. the same crazies who're now getting amplification from our dumbass tech overlords bc the crazies provide higher engagement.

congrats on the engagement d-link wedding cookie tables are new to me but those look incredible, love that idea oh and +1 on the wfh is amazing and i want that to be the only way i work forever. im doing a hybrid-ish thing right now but eventually ill have to go back in every day again. BlindSite posted:To be totally honest - I kind of sat down and thought about all the poo poo I put into my body or my brain to make myself feel good - social media, video games, porn, trash tv, trash books, drugs, booze, lovely food and kind of ran down the list of the good and bad aspects of these and while I would personally be really happy to switch to weed and cut out everything else, I kind of feel like replacing booze with weed isn't really fixing my problem in the first place which is feeling the need to make myself feel good or better or some days, not miserable and try to find why I feel like I want or need these things over stuff that I do that's constructive and also makes me feel good. not at all, i did something similar a few years back. it did wonders for me and actually is part of why im a big proponent of weed now. for myself its much easier to manage than alcohol or anything else, it helps a lot with pain management and sleep, and i routinely go weeks in between uses without feeling any way about it.

opposable thumbs.db posted:Happy only-kinda-working day to everyone, or at least hopefully most of us. I'm visiting my parents in a weed-legal state (AZ) and my sister and I went to a dispensary to buy about $90 worth of gummies and cartridges for my mom, who "hasn't had any since it was called 'grass'", probably the 70s. She's definitely a bit apprehensive, but we got the ones that are essentially half THC and half CBD and she is having a good experience with her small doses so far. those are great, the 1:1 ratio stuff (equal amts THC to CBD) help keep you from feeling too high and work wonders for pain, plus you usually feel amazing from the mood elevation

i didn't try cannabis until i was 30. honestly the most compelling part about cannabis has been the way it helps with all the pains that come from just getting old. low dose THC or just CBD is so helpful for daily life pain bullshit. i have friends in the industry who just really love getting high and they all think its hilarious when i talk about how much low dose thc helps my IBS and old man pains3 DONG HORSE posted:Do cultists worship the blue horse god man i miss denver sometimes. the blue horse god was one of my favorite weird things about that city

hey if you have a lot of time you can get into Persona 5 or Witcher 3, those both take a loving age to get through. oh and i maintain best boon is the artemis/zeus lighting cast boon. its so disgustingFreaquency posted:Cases are absolutely off the charts right now. In CO we’ve blown past the max cases per day during last winter‘s surge by like 70 percent. The good news is that if we take South Africa as a bellwether we’ll have another few weeks of bad cases and then it’ll tumble back down. They also didn’t report an appreciable increase in deaths, so fingers crossed that that bears out here. based on the absolutely absurd climb hospitalizations are taking i dont know that South Africa is a useful comp here. in absolute terms it does seem like Omicron is less likely to kill you, especially with vaccines + boost but its like 4x more infectious and we're doing zero mitigation so deaths might still skyrocket especially if hospitals get overwhelmed.

If Covid kills 7M+ Americans, we'll be in the same ballpark. we're already in the cook the books phase of the pandemic so i doubt we'll ever see official numbers over the 2 million mark but im not sure at what point anyone in power starts pretending to care again regardless of how many people it kills or disables

I actually get the logic. He’s basically working backwards from the realization that what makes most giant games popular is the community. So if the community is the true value of something like WoW or CoD then maybe the community should get a cut. It’s insane of course but I can see the twisted logic.

there's too many shifts in FL happening right now to do some wishcasting about the state. there was just a massive influx of people who've moved down since the shift to remote work. a ton of people died. the state dems are still somehow more incompetent than the national dems. the radicalization trends in the state aren't decreasing in the slightest. a ton of people all over the country are giving up bc politics clearly isn't going to help any of us. biden's been garbage and there will be zero enthusiasm for the dems in the next two cycles. pick whichever trend you want but things are a shitshow and im gonna stick with the safe bet that FL doesn't swing blue Ornery and Hornery posted:The bolded I think is untrue for Covid. It is true that for some viruses there is a tendency for less fatality. I can’t remember the specific reason why and I have a headache so who gives a poo poo but there was some reason why that trend isn’t necessarily true for Covid. the lower fatality thing requires a bunch of stuff to be true like max infectiousness and symptoms to align, as you mentioned. it also requires a consistent response from us to blunt it whether that's vaccines that remain effective for more than 6mos and for more than 1-2 variants or actual NPIs. the lower fatality/endemic thing is mostly bullshit our aggressively optimistic overlords keep pushing to keep everyone from panicking Relentlessboredomm fucked around with this message at 22:22 on Jan 25, 2022 |
