Lol they didn't have to tell me twice. I always thought cruises seemed kind of gross and lazy. I get it. They're convenient and probably fun if you just wanna sit around and drink and eat all day, and maybe see some cool sights from the water.
They always seemed pretty unappealing to me. I can't imagine wanting to do one, especially now. This HBO documentary I still want to see, even though it looked like one of my worst nightmares.
It feels like we have been living in an alternate timeline since Trump came down that escalator in 2015.
this season of America has been terrible
When your a local, and your finally able to get some Ivermectin for your sick animal because your local feedstore is out of stock...
They are basically a floating hotel and amusement park on water. I guess its for certain folks who wants everything but for me, I rather fly out a few hours, and then relax on the beach.

This woman is really frustrating. I just watched this video and in the last 10 seconds, I really thought she was gonna use the opportunity to encourage people to get vaccinated, and even though she herself said that she was getting it, she used those last 10 seconds to encourage people to "tell their loved ones that they love them, because we aren't promised tomorrow."
The pride with these people. I really think a lot of the anti-vaxx crowd is people were swearing Covid was no big deal in early 2020, and now that it clearly is, they want to save face, even if it means dying over their pride.
I hate to sound cold but fukk him. This guy had every chance to use a free and safe method to keep this from happening to himself (most likely, at least) and now we're having to spend who knows how much money to keep his dumb ass alive. I'll never wish death on anyone, butI can't say I'll miss this guy if he goes.

Daps and rep.My dad I and nephew n niece got vaxed today
Better late then never
Good for you guys. Definitely better late than never. It actually makes me happy to see first hand that people are still open to getting it. Makes me feel more hopeful about the situation.
Hope ya'll stay well, healthy, and happy.

I know I'm absolutely blowing this thread up today, but I just wanted to ask everyone a question based on this post I'm quoting.
Does anyone here think the long term repercussions of Covid (I'm talking 5-10+ years down the line) could involve more people moving away from religion? If we go back and realize a lot of deaths were among the religious population, or if a lot of children lost at least one parent that was religious, etc?
I just can't help but think about what all the children right now might think when they get older if they lose parents that chose to not get vaccinated, or what if children that get long-term Covid complications might think about their religious parents preventing them from getting vaccinated, and possibly harboring resentment?
Just some thoughts.

No breh. Not at all. I really struggled with this on Thursday, because one of my best friends' older brother died from Covid less than 2 weeks after changing his profile picture to a graphic logo that said to "not get the vaccine and to take off the masks." I felt really bad because my friend lost his brother, but I also couldn't help but feel smug and I smirked at the fact that some idiot basically killed himself over right-wing virtue signaling.Am I a bad person for feeling slightly smug every time some idiot MAGA anti-mask/anti-vaxxer gets COVID?
It really sucks man, but they've kind of forced us into this position. I think everyone is starting to run out of empathy, and even doctors and nurses are getting "compassion fatigue" where they're starting to not care about these people anymore. And I mean these are the members of our society that are often the most empathetic and caring about others. A lot of nurses and doctors are some of the most selfless people, and they're getting sick of it. So it's understandable that we are too.
Me and you (and most of the people in this thread) have done everything we've been asked for the better part of 2 years now, and we're in the shyt maybe as bad as others because these people didn't do their part. It's understandable we'd feel smug or laugh at them for dying just to a prove a point.
Organized Religion itself has been weakening, though it will never die.
With that in mind, I don't view it in a sense of a weakening for White Evangelicals, but... they seems to be drifting away from a sense of normalcy for religion and now more of a political party itself.
So if I had to say if any repercussions it would be for Evangelical movement, but that's a guess on my part.

I think the Atlantic article within this tweet is especially incredible, and a worthwhile read for anyone: Americans Are Losing Sight of the Pandemic Endgame
Its our version of the Black Plague.
In time it will be nothing, we will live with it, but always have those people who don't believe in vaccines that die from it.
