The older people I know won't get their covid shots because of the side effects. They'll get a whole bunch of other vaccines, like everyone other vaccine in the world, just not the covid vaccine. They just get knocked down, and are out of commission for a couple of days.

I try to convince them, but they haven't offically caught covid yet, although they was one suspicious time prior to lockdown where they lost taste and fully believe it was covid, but it's disconcerting thinking that if the vaccine hits so hard, what would actual covid do. Especially, when they have at least 2 risk factors for severe covid.

Omg, I ate the onion.

I sat there like...is this real. Wtf. Had to go back to the my main page before I realized where I was.

I'm using a new app. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

Just need to stop transfers 5 years before you apply for medicaid. Easy peasy, lol.

Nothing so formal. More like just the boss of a construction company not telling people if the person at the desk they were loitering at the day before called in sick cause they tested postive for covid. They didn't want people being conscientious about not infecting anyone else because the ~~spice~~ cash must flow.

Both. My family lives out in the county. There's no rules as to what is supposed to done with the land.

So...They clear cut it. They'll leave a few small scraggly oak trees which will mostly all die in a year or two. It's horrible. They turn a beautiful forest into a dry desert in a week.

They'll misquote a local rancher, spout misinformation about certain species of trees to justify their horrible land management practices.

And then wonder why the area has less water and is getting hotter.

It's funny how, in my area at least, the HOAs are always stopping people from wanting to plant, and the people who can plant want to make it look like an HOAs wet dream.

Good. Nowadays, theres a degree requirement for so many fields that didn't used to require one. The most competent workers I know, don't have degrees. All the new people with degrees have no clue what they're doing, yet they get paid more and are treated better. It's painful to watch the best performers get passed over, while the people with degrees are held on golden pedestals while they actively drive production into the ground. Especially, when their degree isn't even for the field they're presently employeed in.

While certain jobs should require degrees, there's a huge amount of positions where practical and hands on experience would (and should) trump a degree, any day.

During covid, my company was deemed essential. (Non-healthcare) They would send a email alerting people to the fact that someone had had covid in the building, but refused to name that individual due to it "being a HIPAA violation."

It was so frustrating. I'm like, that's not how that works.

It's still free for them. In their mind, that's all that counts.

I'm pretty sure ISIS took responsibility for it, like a day after it happened.

Honestly, I have no idea why any agency in the us feels the need to confirm something that someone else has already owned up to. Seems redundant.

Well, the hidden door blew out.

Can't tell you how often I get a reminder to keep my eyes on the road, just because I repositioned my head, or tilted it down to stretch my neck. My eyes are on the road damn it. Now my car will turn off in the middle of the highway if i get a stiff neck...great.

Also, I had no idea subaru did this. I saw a recent article that mentioned a few big named car brands, and subaru wasnt included, so, i was naively hopefull. Plus, I realize im being recorded anyways, in an infinate amount of ways, but i didnt realize the car was in on it too. Wow, that sucks. I need to pay better attention, no pun intended.
