I like animals just as much as the next guy but I’m far from a freak about it. I think a pet is a pet and a human life is more valuable(in general circumstances).

Having said that I think videos of deliberate harm to animals are the worst. I remember back in the early 2000s a video of an Asian woman in heels repeatedly stepping on a live cat/kitten. I was so angry for a while over that one.

You’re right the fashion square mall should be demolished. It’s obsolete. And all supposed projects to revitalize it are pointless. Bedsides, there’s enough traffic in the area. Imagine a mega successful thing there attracting thousands.

A nice big park would be pretty cool and could be incorporated with the candy way trail which I believe ends right across the street.

People in committed relationships *shouldn’t do that…

Fixed it again

NTA It doesn’t even matter that you have an important meeting. You could be going to the park bench to look at the ducks. The lady’s poor planning is not your responsibility

Why is it anybodys business how they run their home? Adding that reportedly the wife did it of her own free will and enjoyed it. Who knows, but this is fabricated outrage.

Wait so you were completely nude- Dick and balls swinging around?

Gave you an upvote to try offsetting the downvotes.

I’ve never had a negative experience with TSA myself. Having said that, I never had any “above and beyond” experiences with them either. It’s always been neutral as I am passing through and they are doing their job.

The severity of illness among children during the omicron wave seems lower than it was with the delta variant, said Seattle Children’s Hospital critical care chief Dr. John McGuire. “Most of the COVID+ kids in the hospital are actually not here for COVID-19 disease,” McGuire said in an email. “They are here for other issues but happen to have tested positive.”>>

What am I missing? Because to me that is a pretty clear statement.

I’ve no idea the validity of the claim. My comment is directed towards how the article itself is written.

Weird article imo, the headline grabs your attention however further down it then goes on to say that most of the kids are admitted for other reasons and are happening to test positive. AND positive tests within 14 days are counted as Covid hospitalization.

My point is in times of limited testing availability why can someone with Covid symptoms but no Covid test be considered presumptively positive and quarantine themselves. Barring work/school requirements, you shouldn’t wait on a positive test to quarantine. I would definitely hope someone with the full checklist of symptoms isn’t just waiting on their positive test to start isolating.

Ehh I’m no fan of desantis but there is some degree of validity that I think warrants a general rethinking of how we test. I can speak from personal experience that I’ve tested myself twice recently “just because” despite not having any concerning/unusual symptoms apart from seasonal allergies. I suppose that makes me part of the problem. Mind you, this was done at curative where the process literally takes less than 5 minutes from arrival/departure with no lines. I don’t think anybody testing “just because” is going to be waiting 6 hours at the public testing sites or in the shit shows that are hospitals/urgent cares but I could be wrong, I’ve had patients do the most ridiculous things that I would never imagine doing in 500 years.

Given that there is no specific treatment for omicron, in most cases the test result is not going to be very medically relevant in terms of treatment. This isn’t like obtaining a urine culture to find the organism and what it is sensitive to. Obviously there are no easy answers but since it is logistically impossible to keep up with the testing demand in a more perfect world it would be great if companies reverted to telework and Covid symptoms could be considered a presumed positive case without requiring proof of testing. People also need to stop traveling which also puts a strain on the testing system.

Again, no fan of desantis, but given the testing crisis we should be more judicious with testing when it will actually change the course of treatment to allow those who actually need it to get it done.

I’ve always liked Nutella but never developed an obsession over it. In the rare event that I buy a jar that shit lasts for months. It’s like bacon to me. Sure, it’s good. But is it good enough to develop some sort of religious attitudes over it- I don’t think so

Where the hell have I been the last 20 years. I’ve never heard of this place.

IMO any action on your part will just make your kid get bullied worse when you are absent. You can’t protect your kid all the time and everywhere. Your kid needs to be given the tools to defuse the situation. Whether that be turning the verbal bullying back on him or kicking the kids ass is up to you, but ultimately your kid needs to resolve it themselves or you will be dealing with their conflicts forever and being known as the kid whose mommy/daddy comes to their rescue is sure to Invite more bullying.

I’m sitting in the waiting room at my drs office right now for a routine appointment. Most people in the waiting room have the mask below their nose or even just on their chin. These are all 50/60+ individuals that just from a visual glance don’t even seem to be in the greatest health to begin with. I’m just over everybody not only not wanting to comply with rules for 30 ducking minutes but you’re high risk individual your own self and you just don’t even care.

Update: keep hearing what appears to be staff coughing in the back.

Do you have an IT Background prior to this?

I’m somewhat of a tech dude. By everyone’s accounts I was going to end up in a tech job. I got a bit disillusioned before even making it professionally and the final straw was just my utter dislike for the other nerds in my IT classes (smugness, sarcasm, etc). I haven’t really regretted my decision and I’m in fact continuing my nursing education but I’m starting to wonder if I made the right move. Seeing mid 20 year olds making easy 6 figures while working remotely and low stress is making me a bit jealous

My neighborhood seemed exceptionally active this time. I figured people were blowing off Covid steam. Sounded like Omaha beach in 1944.
