CitizenVectron Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Modern conservatism relies on an all-or-nothing approach to every situation (otherwise how else are you going to complain forever). So if the vaccines don't prevent 100% of infections then they are a failure (and more importantly, a failure for liberals). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That isn’t Doocy’s point, and Psaki sidesteps the fact that in the Omicron era with majority antibody escape, the “pandemic of the unvaccinated” talking point is invalid unless we want to redefine words for political purposes. It is still fair to say the effects of the pandemic are shouldered far more by the unvaccinated than the vaccinated, but we are no longer in a time where vaccines are stopping most infections.

CitizenVectron Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Flight attendants want vaccine requirements to fly, but more because it would stop assholes from flying than reduce spread: Anecdotally: I've only been out to one restaurant since the pandemic started, and it was about two weeks before Omicron hit (and when cases were trending to zero where I live). While there I had the chance to talk to a server. In my province, only vaccinated people have been allowed in restaurants since October. She said that prior to that it was basically only assholes going to restaurants (as the pandemic raged, vaccinated mostly stayed home to be safe), and then as soon as the passport system started there were almost no assholes going out to eat. More than almost anything else in society right now, I bet you could use "being double/triple" vaccinated as the ultimate asshole test/filter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me as well. I am especially friendly when I enter a place and they already have signs up saying things like "please do not take your frustration out on the employees...etc." That to me says that they've been putting up with a lot of abuse.

Getting the booster still significantly reduces infection and transmission. We just need tor redefine the term "unvaccinated" to include those with just the initial vaccine dose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife was picking up a to go order from a place the other day and it was just two 16-17 year olds working. They were both crying as the assistant manager straight up walked off the job. They had already shut down the dining room and were about to shut down the drive thru because they were so backed up just with online orders. My wife jumped into the kitchen (she’s a professional chef, used to have her own restaurant) and helped them get caught back up. She was mortified at the things people were saying to these kids.

CitizenVectron Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 The pandemic has very much revealed that anywhere from 10-30% of society don't really care about society. It's horrible what some people have had to put up with. I can't imagine working in the service industry right now. Online in my own city there were a bunch of idiots pissed off this week because they were all late for work because one of the busiest McDonalds only had 4 people show up to work (less than 1/3 the regular staff) and the drive-thru was incredibly backed up with people waiting for coffee. Fuck, if I was the fifth worker and pulled up, I would have gone home, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 lmaooooooooo Watch a ton of people get fucked on the fact that it's 8 TESTS not 8 BOXES (most of them come in boxes of 2). And you're supposed to take multiple ones in a row at 24-36 hour intervals to get the most reliable results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always aim from the center of the targets around 70 yards out. Easy to nail for double digits all game long, while dudebros are just swing for the fences EVERYTIME Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b_m_b_m_b_m Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 But I can get the targets 130-150 yards out pretty consistently so I do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mclumber1 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 I've only done Top Golf once. My strategy? Hold onto the club for dear life, as I was constantly worried about accidentally letting go/throwing the club out into the play area from the second deck. This became worse as I drank more.
