I'm completely burnt out and dead inside, and the only thing that really adds spark to my life is chasing casual-ish sex with vaccinated cuties. And obv Delta has really fucked that up now. I live with a roommate because it's the only way I can live in Austin anywhere near a hospital I would want to work at, but she's sadly 100% straight.  

 

I earned every goddam drink she bought me that night. I had to listen to some truly insane shit. Would go back to that place with another date, though. 8/10, would recommend based on location, environment, and quality of drinks.

So is spaghetti until it gets wet...

    Welp, it finally happened. I snapped in public today. I went into work for a bit this morning because I’m trying to figure out the safest way to host physicians we are recruiting given our CV-19 sit

  • I don't really know what to say anymore tbh. What happened last night is hard to put into words for anyone who hasn't worked in a hospital healthcare setting. Just unreal. Everyone is getting fucked.

I had never heard the horse paste thing until perusing this thread.

 

Now I'm wondering... who the fuck tried it first, and then made the declaration that it worked?

At least horses are mammals.  At least their pastes are safe for consumption by some branch of our same tree of living creatures.  

Your hero endorsed the consumption of bleach.  Which is not safe for any living creature.  Ever.

I know, I know.  That crazy left-wing batshit crazy news outlet, Forbes.   

I'm not gonna piss on his grave...that's too dignified.  I'm gonna pour bleach on it.  

Now then, back to horse paste.  Can it be used for anal?

Not just Chicago. Remember when Covid first started and they released those maps of florida spring break with cell phone signals showing where they all went back to after their trips?  Lollapalooza people came from everywhere.

I still don’t understand the emotional attachment to getting a shot.  There were people in the spring just absolutely giddy that they got their vaccination. Neither the glee nor the regret are rational. 
 

Hallmark should be selling both celebration and sympathy cards for vax day, right?

You don’t get why people were excited to be inoculated against a potentially deadly disease that had kept them locked down for a year?

You’re confused why people were happy to get vaccinated so we could start to go back to normal after a year of shit?

In the spring when I got vaccinated, I was absolutely giddy. I was even more giddy 14 days after my second shot when I could leave my fucking house for the first time in a year.

Yeah, if they were 80, I get it.  I guess I should buy into the hype(doom/gloom)  a little more.

Actually I do and I’ve said it before. While everyone whines about this and that, maybe we can do something constructive. Let’s put trauma babe  and her partners with a film crew in every tv area and have them film an intubation and then interview the family. Local news.  I’m all for scare tactics right now. Or we can continue to argue about Trump.

Trump busted his ass to get these vaccines developed and get them distributed to his people so that they would be safe from the China virus.

I think George Soros is paying people to infiltrate conservative groups and media like Fox News to try and cast doubt on Trump's vaccine, and to try and get Trump followers killed by China's biological weapon, by making Trump's people think vaccines and masks don't work.

^^ That's what I'm posting next time I see a friend or family member pop off on the vaccines or masks.

I find it interesting that you’re interpretations people feeing giddy/happy/relief/mix of all those with buying into hype. But I guess you are true to your conservative nature maybe? Nothing should really disturb your homeostasis of just being…. neutral about everything?

One of the big problems with the Fox conversation about the vaccine is that the message of “you are making a decision to help end a global pandemic” is never presented and instead it is always presented as “you are deciding between being forced to do somebody g by the government or a chance of getting sick”.  
 

because of that framing, we get Slorch-like reasoning above by so many people.  Can’t even fathom limiting activity because your own health risks aren’t that bad.

We’re all day to day.  Getting the shot isn’t( shouldn’t) be a life changing event.  I mean yeah, when I get a cut, the bandaid is cool to stop the bleeding or yeah, I’m really glad that Advil worked on my headache.  It’s not an achievement of anykind, however.  Neither is a vaccination, for most of us.

What if we got vaccinated for the very reason that we believe it was simply the right thing to do,without all of the emotional baggage?

Is that possible for some of you?  Does everything have to be a team loss or win?

Yes of course! And I’m wiling to bet for the vast majority of people who got vaccinated… the thought was very likely it’s the right thing to do. I think the emotional aspect comes shortly after or at the same time. We are human beings after all. It’s nearly impossible to say… hey remove the emotional baggage. You probably know that to be true in other aspects of life, why would this be any different. We are not rational beings.

The vaccine meant that my parents could hold and play with their grandchildren again after about 18 months without that risk of killing them. I guess that’s not a big deal if you hate the concept of family.

Yep, vaccine meant that my kids got to hug their grandparents without alarms going off in my head that they might kill them. Nothing to get too worked up about at all.

That argument makes zero sense.  It would make sense if you got a cut and your choice of putting or not putting a band aid on it affected others around you or the entire world.  You really are an idiot aren’t you.  That Texas Tech education is serving you well.

I can’t imagine going through life as confused as slorch must be all the time. And he probably doesn’t even know he’s confused.

What the fuck does a tceh education do to brains?  Cereal stupidity?

Jesus fucking christ, Slorch. Jesus, fucking, christ. You've had some real doozies but this shit belongs in the dictionary next to "Slorched." 

I don't know if Slorch is trolling... but he clearly has a unique perspective on the weight he attaches to events that happen in life. Seriously, I so want to hook someone like him up to an EEG and see what part of the brain is firing off when they're thinking about topics like this. 

i, more than most on this board, try to give slorch the benefit of the doubt as much as possible.

but man, he is going full dipshit in this thread.  christ.

No shit. I was giddy to get back to my local bar.

And then there's this:
 

 

And there are lines of customers because the truth is the awake don’t want to be jabbed for experiment.

 

We're all in the experiment, whether you like it or not. They are just the untreated control group. 

I’ll say it again: in WWII the Government told you that you can’t buy tires or gas for your cars - or nylon hose - or all kinds of things. This went on for four years. So you grew veggies in Victory Gardens because food was harder to get - and you collected scrap metal to help the cause.

Oh. And you had to quit work and join the military where death was likely, no matter what you thought about it.

Today’s GOP Patriot would have none of that, because “Muh Freedoms!!” and “I get to choose if I have to help society not die from a clear threat - not the Government!!”

Getting the shot was literally a life changing event. It meant we could get back to living life with some semblance of normalcy without the threat of death or serious illness from COVID

I did not consider it a life changing event.  I weighed the facts as I knew them, considered the Covid cases around people I know both  severe and mild, and determined that getting the vaccine was the best decision much as it would have been had I been considering a vaccine dose for small pox,  polio, tuberculosis, measles, mumps, or Q fever.  There really is no virtue in just doing your damn job as a human being and taking advantage of the advances in modern medicine, it should just be expected as part of the obligation we have to ourselves and others.

Why the hell would you think people were emotional because it was a “team win” as opposed to joy and relief at safely being able to be with elderly family members? Or for me being able to safely be around others after my healthy mid30s sister had a “mild” case of covid, but serious neurological problems for 10 months afterward.
