My wife is a nurse. One of her co-workers, a nurse for 30+ years, didn’t get the vaccine.

The advice I give to all new or soon to be parents:

Myocarditis can occur from viral influenza or pneumonia, but it’s not common. And it’s certainly doesn’t occur at a rate of 80% in patients who had the a bug.

Agreed, I meant that your less socially responsible friends might make fun of you for being scared.

One of those movies that I’ll stop to watch any time it’s on.

Silverado!

It is worth noting that the mortality rate is a bit of a guess at this point, because as this progresses we know now that there are probably far more asymptomatic people than perhaps we first realized. In turn, the mortality rate might be much lower than we believe.

You say this, but I feel like on a Saturday morning at 5:30 am with a 3 year old, I’d be willing to pay a hell of a lot more than they are charging for the peace that this service will buy me during that initial waking up period.

This whole take screams “I don’t have kids”....

The opening of the vault on Disney+ is going to be a life saver for me

Somebody never had Grover teach them the differences between Near and Far.

I’m 100% all for idiot insurance, i’d also take that insurance in the form of the annuity payments

Using math far more complicated than my feeble little mind can grasp, how would you do investing the annuity payments (which, IIRC, Mega Millions sets at a 5% annual increase) and getting slowly-increasing compound interest on those at a constant rate of return?

Look, I know we’re becoming more tolerant of different kinds of relationships and telling people it’s ok to be whatever they want, but... heterosexuality is the norm. It’s how our species reproduces. That’s not to say anything negative about anyone who is gay or trans, but a norm is a norm. The biological norm doesn’t…

I don’t much care for the whole, “Oh, do you have a girlfriend” crap, because my parents did it to me and I bloody hated it and won’t do it to my kids.

Also, if you consistently and constantly leave a sink full of dirty dishes and utensils after being asked nicely and repeatedly to clean up after yourself, please do expect that ish to be left in your bed.

Nope. called Road to Wellville.

So you’re saying you made a well thought out, reasonable decision about your health and your body; the people responsible for it did not judge or subject you to their personal bias; and your supportive partner was there for you and cared for you before, during and after.

Same. I save bottles, pick ‘em out of the neighbors’ recycling, and hoard growlers like some kind of weirdo.

I have a short list.

My friend Ray Finkel says that's an issue, but he doesn't seem trustworthy.
