I wouldn't either, bad transmissions in those

Not a fan of the cvt?  I like it a lot.

I know 4 people that have had to get a new transmission in a Subaru around 70k miles. I'm a fan of their cars but wary of the transmission

You'd vaccinate everybody and end the spread of the virus? The same way that vaccines have proven to do in the past? Not sure I understand what you're asking. I'm not saying governments should have carte blanche to enforce whatever they want upon us, just that "my body my choice" isn't a strong enough case against it on its own

[close]

It really is though, well at least here in the US. I am not sure what country you live in.

Assuming you were born there, stats suggest that someone chopped off a bit of your penis. And it didn't even require a medical purpose!

My Jigga is intact (and if shalomcoin goes through proof will be available for you) but having a baby boy circumcised is a personal decision made by the child’s parents. That certainly cannot be compared to the government forcing someone to do something unwanted to their body..you silly

[close]

The analogy really isn't as far off as you seem to believe. Those parents, who make a 'personal decision' to permanently alter another person's body, do so under the assumption that it is beneficial. Where do you think they got that idea? The incentives to circumcize aren't as overt as those for vaccinating children, but cutting was normalized institutionally. The benefits of the vaccines are  of course monumental, while the risk of lasting negative effects are just about negligible. And the benefits of circumcision are slight and nebulous, while the rate of irreversibly changed non-consenting bodies is a hundred percent.

You really think bodily autonomy doesn't come into play here, just because it is deferred?

[close]

My pecker was not cut due to my parents decision making. Nobody came into that room and forced them to make that decision, or removed personal freedoms from them if they didn’t comply. I will say I like your approach to this conversation, I was anticipating name-calling and such. I am assuming by the consistent kooks I am getting that I am being viewed as a anti-vaxxer. I am just someone who would like to continue to research and then make the decisions regarding my own body.

You can do your „research“ , take your time.... but meanwhile you have to live with. I dont see a problem.

just do your self a favour and spend 30 minutes on pub med, that should do it.

[close]

Thank you, I will check it out

[close]

The fact that you don‘t know about pub med shows that you have done no research so far. At least not in a proper way of what science refers to as research.

If you don‘t use legit sources your research is useless.

When did I state that I didn’t know about Pub med?

Of course, schools don't discriminate against foreskin and that's where the analogy is flawed. Although parents sure think about the PE showers when making 'their' decision. But never mind that. What circumcision (and other counter examples given here, which you are dodging) shows, is that bodily autonomy is regularly relinquished. For good reasons of public health (measles), for questionable reasons of public health (prohibition), and even for sheer frivolity (circumcision).

I don't do name-calling but if you want to see less of that maybe don't end posts goading.

That’s a lot to think about, thank you for your insight!

where are you located? Places where they're AWD/4WD are necessary, they're common as fuck in my experience- Pacific North West, New England, Colorado. 

I got an 07 Outback 5spd, 3 inch body lift and some AT tires. Best car I've owned. Kills on the interstate and drives through just about anything else. I can sleep in it and use it like a little truck in the mountains or river bed.

Also, Not tryna say you're wrong, but I fuck with Subarus and don't who has had to replace a Subaru transmission at such low mileage, head gaskets however, are the common culprit and usually go at around 70-100k miles.

Small sample size however 2/3 of my co-workers refused to take the vaccine. Was super shocked. I work at an assisted living facility. Wonder what the overall stats are. If trends similar to my small work, gonna take forever for things to get back to normal

That's.... wild.... especially since assisted living facilities have been notorious for outbreaks since COVID became a thing. I'm sorry that your coworkers are refusing and putting you and your residents in danger.

I'm far from an essential worker and I'm able to work remotely, so I'll probably be last on the list to get the vaccine. But you best believe that I'm still getting it as soon as possible. The fact that this is even a debate is crazy.

And it's not mandatory? Wow.

[layzieyez]

State health board needs to step in. I told my wife that she needs to get the owner of the childcare facility where she works to make it a marketing tool to draw in customers looking to a safe place for their kids. Noncompliance can be grounds for suspension (not termination) until they get their vaccine. They can quit and lose unemployment benefits or get vaccine and work. Easy.

[friendly dave]

I got my first dose of the vaccine this afternoon. It was voluntary on my part. I am a volunteer search and rescue worker, and because of that I get the opportunity to get vaccinated in the 1b category with other first responders. They had us sit in a waiting room for 15 minutes after the injection to make sure there was no immediate reaction. The shot was easy. Easier than getting a tetanus shot or getting blood drawn. Easier than a flu shot in my opinion. A friend of mine who is icu nurse said her arm was a little more sore the next day than her last flu shot. Several hours so far, no side effects, no super powers, my gps hasn't started tracking me, no microsoft updates, and U2 still sucks.

[Cuban_Lynx]

I just got part A of the Moderna vaccine. No real side effects. I did get a sudden urge to scroll through the berries for the first time in 10+ years. That shit makes no god damn sense. It's the same thing as remive now? Indoor skating in Southern California was dumb in 2010, but it's just ridiculous now. 

[pugmaster]

If anyone can, do an e-meter reading before and after you get the vaccine.  I'd love to know what it might do to my thetan levels.

[Allen.]

Getting mine tomorrow.

Have you ever had to interact with a "nurse" or CNA that works at an assisted living facility? There's a reason that they work there, and not in an ICU.

Bolded for factual info.

And yeah, it’s about 2/3’s that didn’t want it at the assisted living facility I work at. Everyone’s mood is “nah man fuck that I heard people get fucked up off of vaccines / I’ll wait till the Nobel prize winning vaccine, not the first round.”

Hopeful for 2031!

that's it for me, i am not taking this vaccine!

[ketoacidosis]

I work at a large private NYC hospital and I got my Pfizer booster yesterday. Arm is a little sore, like after the first dose, but that’s the only adverse reaction. I know this is my first post and may seem suspicious but this is a topic I care deeply about. NYC is lacking support staff since traveling nurses are in places like California and im nervous we are on the brink of what we saw nearly a year ago. Nearly every attending and resident has received their doses but the skepticism among nurses is higher than I expected.

[Alan]

but the skepticism among nurses is higher than I expected.

I keep hearing this... Ugh.

[ketoacidosis]

I work nights so it can be a little inconvenient to wait in line after working all night to receive it but their reasoning seems to stem from mis-trust in it. Now I have only asked those nurses I’m close with as i feel that it can be a sensitive subject and I don’t want to come across as condescending, but out of the maybe 6 I asked only 1 has gotten it. I think NYC nurses are far more likely to get it (estimates are at 90%) where in places like Ohio it may be far lower at 40%. Luckily in-hospital transmission is low so I’m not worried that our patients or the nurses will contract it.

Does it surprise you? I've met a fair share of nurses who are quite dumb and view themselves as experts. At this point, political indoctrination has them all further warped.

I was just in the hospital, this morning, a super shitty, small rural hospital, for an x-ray and when talking with the receptionist she straight up stated that they don't talk about the vaccine because it upsets some people and their beliefs.

Some of our nurses are sceptical (i‘d say 25-30%) but ALL that have worked with COVID patients and saw the effects said the‘re gonna get the shot for sure. Also all doctors will get it.

That said i‘m on the list for my shot next tuesday, it‘s gonna be the pfizer vaccine.

Tbh, it does a little. I worked at a hospital bitd and while some of the nurses were a bit dumb, most of them were on top of shit and sharper than most of the doctors. Of course, that's anecdotal, but still...

I was surprised because this unit was turned into a COVID unit in the spring so they all had first hand experience with it. It wasn’t an ICU so I don’t think anyone was ventilated unless they came to the hospital that way but they were sick nonetheless. They haven’t tried to read the journal articles and of the hundreds if not thousands that have gotten the vaccine haven’t had bad reactions so their trepidation seems unjustified. My hope for them is that if they choose to get it, it will still be readily available for them to do so.

Congrats!

No doubt. I also worked in a hospital and remember different grades of RNs tbh. I mean, it blows my mind that people who work with suffering populations aren't on board at this point, but it doesn't surprise me that Nurses are representative of the population at large. It's a true bummer
