We really need to try and get rid of the “during covid” and “during the pandemic” word choices.

Covid is now. It never left. It continues to infect and DISABLE people, whether you see it or not.

Did the clocks change in the UK between last week and this week? Last week the episode was on YouTube at 5pm US Eastern Time, this week it's 4pm.

I don't trust the opinions of anyone who'd answer differently.

D and it's not even close.

Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Thai, Indian, Middle-Eastern? YES TO ALL OF IT.

(And sure, every once in a while we'll have an Australian bloomin' onion from Outback. Why not.)

For the rest of your life, you can only eat food from one of these regions. Which do you choose?

I asked my sibling who lives in CT, but they said:
--
Unfortunately I don't have an experience with this. I'm assuming they want huskycare? That's our state's medicaid thing.

Looks like they should start here:

My parents are on a 2-week cruise. Before they left, she told me Dad was worried about getting sick again like he did on the last one. I told her the best way to prevent getting sick is to wear a mask. They both agreed that's a really good idea.

No masks in any pics they've sent to the family chat.

I cannot emphasize enough that if you want people to be upset at your death, you have to lead a life that doesn't involve treating those people like utter shit.

Why does everyone everywhere see a bunch of sickness going around and think, "I need to up my vitamins and immunity boosts?"

That is fine, but most importantly, you should be prioritizing mask-wearing w/a KN95/KF94/N95-level type mask. Please guys. Tell me you learned something in the past 6 years.
