Also I would like to point out that hospitals are not full because of Covid, thy are full because of Capitalism. We have something like half of the hospital beds we had just a couple of decades ago despite our population increasing. There was an article in Time in 2018 talking about hospitals running out of ICU beds

My groups of friends were so excited for this game back in 2019, we were watching streamers play it and couldn’t wait to get our hands on it, even if it was just a crappy Google Translate version. We all have thousands of hours in both Diablo-like games, and WoW and FF14, so Lost Ark is the perfect marriage. However,

So should we stop treating obese people because obesity is preventable? Should we stop helping smokers and alcoholics because their diseases are preventable? Maybe we should stop letting skateboarders and rock climbers in the ER as well?

Mutations are good, it is why omicron is more infections but less severe. It is literally presenting itself with cold-like symptoms, meaning most people won’t even know they caught Covid. “Keeping me at work” is definitely a pro-corporate, pro-capitalism take that I don’t agree with, but just speaking for myself, I’ve

You made the same mistake as the other commenter. School bus laws and stops signs are there to protect others. Me getting a Covid vaccine, however, does not protect others because it does not prevent transmission. As a matter of fact studies in both the UK and canada show that most new cases of infection are those

You’re examples don’t work. The polio vaccine is a true vaccine by the until-recently changed definition, meaning it eradicates the virus. The Covid vaccine is leaky, and does not prevent transmission or infection rates, so there is really no reason to force people who don’t want it, to take it. You aren’t helping

Yeah it would be so great to live an an authoritarian, boot licking world 

Dolphin my friend...

Chrono Cross was in my top five JRPG back in middle school and high school. Loved that game to pieces, talked about it with friends all the time, loved the unique combat system. However, I replayed it last year and while it wasn’t bad, it was a lot closer to average than I had remembered. I would still recommend to

I usually start with beast or feast as that is two vowels and s and t are popular letters. Great could also work. Having a go to start makes it boring though. I don’t think I’m even good at word games but I get a lot of 3 and 4 try Wordle wins

Not sure about open world pvp but FF14 has three grand companies and when you sign up for pvp they sign you in to a random one for the battle, so even if you’re normally Maelstrom you can fight for the Immortal Flames. They just change the color of the hp bars. I imagine WoW will be similar. Think of paintball with

think about other people, perhaps even your loved ones, your family?”
I’m one of only about five liberals in my entire extended family. The rest are all deep red evangelicals that live in the South, meaning they haven’t gotten vaccinated either. But guess what, ALL of them have already caught Covid. My wife and I are

Except they are. My wife is going to vet school in the fall, and already got accepted to Cornell. So she’s going to have to decide to get an ivy league education but at the cost of getting the vaccine, or going to some garbage school like Tuskegee to avoid the vaccine. Keep in mind Cornell had to shut down last month

Don’t fear monger with “17x more likely” when unvaxxed are still only 0.89%, most of whom are obese or elderly. Zero child deaths have been attributed to Covid in Germany and Sweden since the very beginning of the pandemic.

According to the UK and Canada vaccinated are more likely to catch it:

Can we please stop calling everyone that wants to go back to normal life an anti-vaxxer? I do not care if you want to get the vaccine. If you are obese or have other health problems I would even recommend it. But don’t tell me I have to get it. The vaccine does not prevent transmission, nor does it prevent infection

Good, let’s get a Shadow Hearts 4 then

Now if we can get YouTube to change their views on “promoting others”. Recently the #1 FF14 highlights channel got demonetized for that, even though most of the Twitch streamers gave permission. The Twitch community actually loves this particular YouTube channel (The Fashionista) because they end up getting more

Based purely off looks, the F body camaro was the first car I ever remember calling in love with. Seven year old me just thought it was the coolest thing ever.

Ew gross, not in SC at least. I ate at Wendy’s a lot in college because getting five chicken sandwiches for $5 was great, but I would steer clear of their fries because they were literally always soggy mush. Worst fries of any place I’ve ever eaten. Back then (~2006-2008) Hardees was king of fries around here (and I

I have a top three that I would stick to when I used to travel for work a decent bit. These three are relatively healthy, have delicious food, and always quick to serve:
Chick-fil-a
Arby’s
Zaxby’s (this can be tricky to eat while driving)
