When they said checks would go out "immediately" that meant in 3 or so months, and if you took any of their statements literally at any point that's on you for some reason.

I got my first shot yesterday. Every few hours it feels like a slightly larger boxer has punched me in the arm. One of the other supervisors I work with got his first shot Friday and said he felt the same the next day and then was totally hosed up yesterday. I hope I can avoid that tomorrow because the second dose is supposed to be so much worse.

It’s called Facebook and Twitter, the greatest radicalization engines ever devised.

Edit: their algorithmically-driven versions, I should qualify. They weren’t great before but they’re infinitely worse now.

They did exactly that; live virus mass inoculation events all August through October last year, in advance of completion even the first mRNA vaccine, delivered with a healthy dose of rhetoric information.

I had a sore arm and fatigue all weekend after the first dose. Don’t give a poo poo. Beats dying on a vent.

My second one is on a Thursday so I hope I start feeling it that night instead of the next day at the office 25 miles from home.

Is AZ like NM in that the whole state is reservation except like 2 cities?

Because when I looked at a map of reservations in NM I started laughing at how little of the state is actually under control of the state

Also YouTube. I remember reading how many of those in the far right Brazil government got their start with video rants. Even now dunno why YouTube thinks my watch history of Mario 3 speedrun progress means I want to watch charlie kirk ads.

I recall someone did an experiment where they set up a computer and YouTube profile from scratch with zero history and began watching the most benign possible animal videos. It didn't take long for far right video recommendations to start appearing.

Regarding the reactions to the first and second COVID shots, I found a decent video explaining why the second shot is sometimes worse than the first:

I turned off personalized ads on my wife and I’s YouTube app on our TV and within a day we were getting Prager U ads. We mostly use YouTube on our TV to cover up building noises for our dog and to stream music. I don’t think this is accidental at all.

I wouldn’t recommend it because if you think you hate ads now...

So many YouTube ads make me actively despise the product they're trying to sell. Dr. Squatch can go die in a fire. I've also heard from Twitter that some of the mobile games advertised are "fake"? I don't get what exactly that means or why anyone would get so far as to discover that as the ads are aggressively "Look how loving stupid this game is!"

Setting up PiHole knocks down ads a ton on my PC at least. On some smart devices it still sneaks its way around to another DNS server. Hadn't figured that part out yet but I haven't watched youtube ads on my computer in a couple years.

I use ublock origin on all my computers and purify on my iphone. That seems to get rid of almost all ads. If I see a youtube ad on my phone, I just refresh purify and they're blocked again.

I also just browse youtube with safari - I don't use the native app.
