The funniest part is the smoking thing is never a lie unless you're a 16 year old mormon, because you would have been exposed to second hand smoke somewhere and by God that's enough!

enjoy friends. I'm getting a toto one delivered and installed in the new house I'm moving in to next month. perfect timing.

the toto ones are super nice looking, and I'm a total slut for modern design, but does your new home have an outlet right behind the toilet?

I just got the first dose of Pfizer and the pharmacist was lamenting how there were dozens of cancellations and he had thirty vials that were expiring in a day or two that haven't been touched yet, but when people cancel over the phone, it doesn't update on the website (which is how most people check for availability)

gently caress WaPo and gently caress anyone whining about nonexistent "line jumping", call your local grocers/walmarts/pharmacies and see if they have any slots, the loving PHARMACIST HIMSELF said "we have to prioritize phase 1b but if we have no more appointments, stick whoever shows up", so line jumping isn't even a thing! The pharmacists are literally BEGGING people to come get it!

It pisses me off how this country is managing the vaccine rollout and moreso the pmc lib scolds preventing shots going into arms asap

if i had a friend who figured out how to jump the line in CT id be buying them gifts till they told me how they did it.

CT feels locked down like a safe.

I posted this yesterday, but you might be able to get through in CT by claiming to be an educator. Two friends (who are both educators) signed up through the regular state portal and got their jabs at Walgreens because they missed their district clinics. They never had to provide credentials at any step of the process.

No guarantees and you probably need to get an appointment with Walgreens for this to work. My girlfriend went to one of the sites set up specifically for educators (not a district clinic, though) and they checked her school ID and cross-referenced it against some kind of state database, so, yeah.

Yes, absolutely people should be calling the pharmacists directly. Call the store and ask to be put through to the pharmacy. This is how my parents got it in a purple area.

I get being mad if somebody pretended to work in health care, or to be a teacher, or something like that to get in early when almost no one had a vaccine or to take from an allocation specifically given to a certain group with only a certain number of doses available for them and it's all gone when they are used up. It isn't like there aren't any situations where I would judge someone for line jumping.

But just lol at living in America in 2021 and giving a gently caress if someone exaggerated their BMI or said they were a smoker to get a jab when the government had completely abdicated their responsibility and every single individual is on their own.

This is the main reason it's a dick move to schedule multiple appointments to try and maximize the one that ends up being the most convenient for you. That actually impacts getting jabs in to arms and is just being selfish and boomerlike.

I think it's the opposite - people were driving 5 hours to get Jab 1 at Walgreens in Bumfuck, Nowhere, and now weeks later the Walgreens a mile from their house is fully stocked so they're getting Jab 2 closer to home

Point of the story - Bumfuck, Nowhere still has ample vaccines

If you live in the US you shouldn't feel guilty about line jumping for any reason.

The bottom line is that you can't really lie your way into a situation where you get a dose that's allocated for some other specific person. The organizations that receive specific allocations for their employees have actual checks before they dole out appointments. It's all either handled directly through an employer or with secure portals that you don't have access to.

If you can get a dose, you're just taking it from the general supply that's available to your state and it doesn't matter what reason you give for qualifying.

yah that's how it was being done in my org when i got pfizer. back in january they had all those articles about not enough people getting the vaccine and i guess actual frontline staff must've not been taking it or something.

Now that Texas is open 100% nothing has changed at the local hvac company I work at. Coworkers continue to not wear masks, customers continue to not wear masks. Everyone just stopped pretending to give a poo poo. I've got a honeywell 7700 I wear most of the day, despite the stares and comments it gives me some peace of mind, though I can't seem to get the crown straps to stay in place comfortably so my nose bridge has developed a painful red spot where the mask rests. poo poo sucks :(
