Sorry, I'm just dumping here. The holidays are infinitely more complicated "post COVID".

We have to be the weird ones. "Oh X is a little sick? No worries, we're off for 2 weeks, we could always postpone"...no that's like threatening to shoot their puppy. So we've ended up being the ones wearing masks at Xmas, bc a sick person wouldn't, or asking if we can bring air cleaners.

It is frustrating that you can't get together with more than 5 people without basically 100% chance of getting sick from someone. "just the sniffles"

This drives me crazy the most. Like, what is more important? Your lunch with former coworkers or Xmas with your grandkids? I just don't get it.

All 4 other members of the household done today. Same deal, walk in, waited maybe 10 mins.

Another win for Shoppers Osborne. In and out for flu and COVID shots in about 10 mins. Walkin 10-4 all weekend, they said even Monday (maybe double check if that's your plan).

Sorry I broke the roblaws boycott, I just wanted it done and to sleep it off over a long weekend.

So I don’t know which drugs these western leaders are on but they already lost the game. And they did so by building up the global south—the area most disrespected by the West and ripe for plunder.

I’m not saying China is good. Nope.
What I’m saying is nature abhors a vacuum and the West left the Global South ripe for picking because they didn’t think much of them. And now the minerals the West need for tech are more and more in the hands of China
The West already lost

Also, there is absolutely no mention of the rise of the far-right online that has moved the needle around support for immigration and the resulting scapegoating, which certain politicians have absolutely leaned into. Of course not. Everything is Trudeau's fault.
Just the laziest fucking analysis.

It was really nice for like 90% of the game! The last 15 mins maybe it got appropriately gloomy.

My family is insinuating I'm getting too old for this music, but Calvin Harris rarely misses for me. This rules.

I got both. Haven't done that before. Last year barely felt it when I had them split up. I wouldn't do it differently next time. It's nothing compared to the first couple years of covid shots, the next day I'd be in a coma.

As the genocide in Gaza began its third year, there was some hope that the end might finally be in sight, but if history has shown us anything, you can't fully trust Israel or the U.S. for that matter.
