If you ever want to get over a needle fear I recommend getting hospitalized with a really bad chest infection

They will bleed you until your veins are dust and work their way to your hands when the elbows and arms are cooked.

Alternatively just donate blood or plasma enough times that you get used to the gigantic hose they shove into your arm and regular IV/IM needles will seem like a joke

This pandemic has really turned around my opinion of gulags. Absolutely address the structural and economic issues causing reactionary thinking, but some people just need to be sent to the camps and away from the internet. Saying this as something who'd (deservedly) get gulaged, just not for COVID related wrongthink.

Still don't agree with struggle sessions though, unnecessary and undignified for all involved.

I’m assuming he’ll exit office with around 3 million dead Americans during his 4 years. if he wins re-election, who knows.

i can’t imagine what America will be like 6 months from now, much less 3.5 years. probably bad and getting worse.

what's the most that any President could realistically do though? Yeah Biden sucks balls but I'm still curious. For example Florida - what could he do? Use some sort of federal emergency powers to take over and forcibly vaccinate everyone?

Shatter federalism on the rocks of force and forge a new central government.

Not impossible in general but certainly impossible for Sleepy Joe. A motivated and engaged cynic in 2024 though will likely have everything teed up for them.

e. there are at least 2 or 3 concurrent states of emergency in the US that give broad power to the executive. I am reasonably sure that, say, a national vaccine mandate wouldn’t get challenged in any court because it would undermine significant frameworks that allow the status quo to exist and there’s no entity to enforce a ruling otherwise.

Without class consciousness this becomes fascism pretty much instantly and America doesn’t have anything vaguely resembling class consciousness. If you are American left-accelerationism is not an escape. Sorry.

I didn’t say it was and I think that what you’re describing is very likely, to the extent that the United States is not a fascist country already.

Looking beyond COVID there are a lot of crises coming and currently our government can’t even do the basic things required of it for state hygiene. there are a certain amount of tasks that need done to keep the state on rails and I think any sort of real upheaval has a failure of that hygiene as a pre-requisite.

I think if Trump was still president we wouldn't be having such a bad wave. Or maybe not such an early one. All the liberals and team blue would be actively resisting Trump's push to open er up. Instead we got Biden's permission to mask off and his push to open schools and here we are

Wore a 3M 7000 series to work for the first time Thursday and holy poo poo it blew. No one could understand anything I was saying unless I was yelling near their ear. It was uncomfortable as gently caress and my nose ached for a while after. Friday morning I ordered the HF803SD and P100 filters (3M P/N D3091) from Grainger and they arrived the next day. Holy poo poo it is way better than the 3M 6000 and 7000 series. The seal check button is super cool and it feels a little more comfortable too. I can't tell much of a difference with the speaking diaphragm yet but my SO said I sounded fine.
