So coronavirus is definitely going to kill a few of us.

[cleatus]

when delta inherits omnicron's 'quirks', its going to be a very strange, very unpleasant new world.

What's worse than the virus are the people in power using it to exert power over us and strip us of more basic freedoms. Fuck reddit, fuck masks, fuck doctors, fuck liberals

I would like to know what basic freedoms have been stripped from the "virus is sniffles and the vax is a lie" crowd where you live. Asking because where I live no basic freedoms have been stripped from anybody. Only thing that affected me was the library in town closed for a few months in 2020. I occasionally watch a few minutes of Real America's Voice or OAN Plus, for lols. Both of those channels also talk about power grabs and loss of freedoms, but never give examples. I live in rabid red land so my results may vary from yours. So please go a little deeper and let us know how your life has been negatively affected by your loss of freedoms and the exertion of power by gov. Zap, would jesus ever say fuck doctors?

I hate slow speed limits and having to come to a complete stop way out in the country. Yield signs and unlimited speed are rights I wish covid could give to all.

It's very frustrating to have to keep playing along with the apocalypse roleplayers. It's been years. I'm just tired of masks and 24/7/365 onslaught of doomsday propaganda. Basic freedoms? Are you kidding? We got locked down and it's about to happen again because the majority of people are retards on antidepressants who just go along with what the TV says and are content as long as they have their legal marijuana and superhero movies on Netflix

I dont have an answer for you but if you are traveling to NY during the holidays I'd avoid trying to eat at Panera without your vaccine passport or you'll be arrested and dragged out of there by the cops.

Petty theft and shoplifting = ok. No vaccine passport = book em Dano.

Don't do the crime if you can't do the time!

So when is the best guess for when Omicron is a major variant in the US?

Before or after January 1?

Looks like it's going to replace Delta, it's just a matter of when.

[Sanlmar]

Kid just came home for lunch and said his friends are testing positive. Had to endure a 5 minute rant about how bullshit Covid doesn’t hurt anyone.

We hugged and breathed on each other


Was typing my trip report and and somehow I timed out and lost everything. Thanks Druff.

We will never really know Druff because by January 1st asymptomatic people will not be tested.

It’s gonna be an awful hit to PFA content

I have never been tested for Covid in my life. My goal is to keep it this way. I have probably been mildly sick 8 times over the last 2 years. My kids have been sick, as kids are, several times over the last couple years.

Unless it is a requirement for work or you are having serious trouble breathing I dont know why anyone would bother to get tested for Coronavirus at this point. What is the point? I cant understand at all when I see videos of people waiting in line for hours to be tested.

How about when people do so called covid screening and they ask if you've been around anyone with covid recently? I always tell them yes, I assume I have been and yet this answer is satisfactory to pass the screening. I had to be tested a week ago for the 1st time to have a procedure

travel outside of the country is one reason. One to leave and one to get back in.

I agree though. I was first in when I posted posted earlier today that I have this intuition that very soon asymptomatic people will not be tested. The privacy damage has been done though.

However this has not happened quickly enough as Boston has fallen tonight, country.

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu announced Monday that the city will require COVID-19 vaccinations to enter most indoor spaces starting on Jan. 15, as part of a campaign to increase vaccinations called "B Together."

Restaurants, bars, nightclubs, gyms, movie theaters, concerts, sports arenas and other entertainment facilities will card you.

Druff has this nostalgia for the ‘80’s in LA. “The Facts of Life” and “Saved By The Bell”. Powerful kid imprinting.

If you were a kid born in the ‘90’s you wore a bicycle helmet. You never questioned wearing one. (Dwai would correctly inform you that only fat kids get brain injuries.) That same ‘90’s kid also gives no fucks about personal privacy. Data collection is the only world he knows. “Whaddya gonna do?”

Kids who are 6-8 years old. Wearing a mask for 2 years. It’s all they know. They gonna be cool with it like the Japanese? Prolly.

Remember guys on this site talking about “return to normal”. Guys who weren’t mouth breathers. Guys like Daly. We ain’t never going back. I said that was nonsense talk then. It’s all a slippery slope.

In 5-7 years when you present your ugly mug to the camera at the entrance to Boston Garden they are gonna know whether you were ever banned for throwing stuff at LeBron James. They will know your criminal history and credit score. Yeah, they will also know without asking whether you’ve been vaccinated for Delta XVII.

No one will care.

The irony is we would probably already be there, except the authorities are too scared of being called racist for it. It is actually the most progressive cities who are pushing back the hardest against facial ID, because it is "racist." I should note they are pushing back when it comes to identifying homeless people raping in the subways. They have no problem using technology and surveillance as a potent weapon against their perceived political opponents.

I'm not a big fan of how Europe does a lot of things, but they are 100% correct regarding how they handle both privacy violations and shady tricks aimed at consumers. They're also correct regarding tipping culture (pay all jobs what they're worth, and no tipping).

The above is an example of what I wish we had in the US.
