i love being back in the office. just yelled at one of my colleagues that he could go gently caress himself if he was going to keep giving me poo poo for wearing a mask on crowded busses during rush hour open office, so everyone could hear it including the full C suite and no one seemed to care about what would normally be incredibly unprofessional behavior on my part i think it helps that this is a guy that people avoid. no one wants to have lunch at the same time he's eating because he's disgusting. also, he's a nerd who's a bit too proud of his time in the israeli army optimizing their databases to help them

it also killed a lot of people (which is probably why we suddenly have bargaining power), so maybe it’s an anti hero

we can weave the story of our own lives. don’t let people tell you it was bad to have covid. when people say “no regrets”, it’s a way to live a satisfying life by believing that the fabric of your live is something to be celebrated, and if you’ve had covid, then covid is a glorious part of that tapestry of your life 😘C😘O😘V😘I😘D😘

covid on a large-scale level has hosed up pretty much every aspect of my life for 2.75 years and counting. did not enjoy having it a month ago. felt bad to have. it's a garbage bag thread change in the tapestry of my life and i hate to even look at it. not a fan. not a fan at all.

our (netherlands) govt is pulling a nice trick to pretend covid isnt killing anyone anymore: they are rebenchmarking the 'normal' death rate to include 2020 and 2021 numbers. those are, of course the prime pandemic years in which 20ish% more people died than usual. that means that they'll now be able to claim that way fewer people are dying AT ALL than usually. "don't you see? covid actually good! because everyone is getting it now, fewer people are dying" and maybe people won't notice that a fifth of the trains aren't running because they can't be staffed, or that there's zero empty spots in pediatric wards. oh, and we're one of the few countries where paxlovid isn't prescribed. to anyone. at all. unless you have VERY severe underlying heart or lung issues. so if you want to recover from a serious case of covid, you'd better develop some lung cancer pronto. of course they're also going to gloat about covid deaths in china, presenting this as something that's inevitable if you do any prevention at all. the problem with china isn't that they went for zero covid, it's that the only thing the chinese govt can effectively organize is heavy handed repression, and guess what, that ain't the way you can make zero covid work. it's zero covid with chinese characteristics, to borrow a phrase from the gbs china threads of yore, and as everything described as 'x with chinese characteristics' it'll turn into a mockery of the concept that chinese characteristics have been added to. physically locking people up in their homes and sending them random ration packs (lucky you, it's chocolate milk and carrots for breakfast, lunch and dinner this week) isn't the only way you can approach this, but if cruelty and corruption is all your bureaucracy is used to, that's what it's going to be yeah, im still mad about all of this, even if everyone says it's over

Dutch politics have always struck me as the worst of British/european politics with the worst of American politics, except with slightly more consumer/worker protections and a somewhat functioning health and education system

something I find challenging to do when people ask me about paxlovid is I run thru the eligibility criteria and ask their age and if they’re under 65 I ask if they’re maori or pacific islander because if they are then they only have to be 50 not 65 I understand why they made the eligibility decisions that they did (to improve access and outcomes), but it’s not necessary easy to tell someone they aren’t eligible because of their ethnicity

how is that sort of thing decided anyway some sort of one drop rule? or is there a minimum parentage to qualify? or is it about cultural identification rather than ethnicity per se?

iirc Pacific Islanders are like 4x more likely to have heart disease or develop it, so lowering the age requirement for Māori is more so to make sure they don’t get wiped out by another colonist disease that strongly affects cardiovascular systems than it is to, like, stick it to whitey or give them special treatment

I have no idea if that affects benefits or not tbh, I probably shouldn’t have mentioned it. I only know about the cultural side and how they go about doing that

yeah i mean culturally it's about "are you embedded in and part of the culture", but that's something that's not easy to judge in an objective sense for the purpose of like, "are you eligible for benefits". something like a one drop rule, while it does seem kinda racist when you frame it like that, has the upside of being straightforward, objective, and covering just about everyone you intend to cover.
