I got it a few weeks ago, either from work or because I stood in a bar for 20 mins that week, and I've been vaxed 3 times as well.

Probably got it from your disappointing haircut.

My being a coward is completely independent of my desire to not have children, thank you very much.

relevant:

A lot of stuff against Dilbert seems to come up as a counterpoint. Says Uzique (living in a foreign country I'm guessing being far out of Dilbert's comfort zone) is a "coward" for not wanting to get a haircut at the peak of a covid wave, meanwhile Dilbert (well within the means to do otherwise) is still living at home, comfortably sniping against immigrants and others who generally have less. Living in country known for its massive production of red meat per capita. Coal still a significant part of power output (America could do better as well). Sits on a high horse telling Asian countries they consume too much meat, or burn too much coal. Won't eat meat, wears leather(?). Makes fun of someone for foreign glasses or shoes, thinks nothing of ordering other stuff from international sellers. Selective, spotty empathies.

Meanwhile macbeth here telling us all to have kids while he complains about having to teach everyone's mini-me ingrates.

You guys are being selfish. Jay started a family and even owns a home. He rose above poverty and the struggles of PTSD to start and family. You guys have literally no excuse why you don't also own a home and have a family at your age.

I just haven't found the right girl yet.

Well the thing is, we've had two years of lockdowns are "stupid", travel restrictions are "pointless" vaccines "> all", uziq has travelled to a polluted coal-guzzling country, learned a new and annoying language, hooked up with a chick the locals think is a hooker, but a haircut is "a bridge too far".

As the person here who is without sin I think I can be the one to throw the first stone.

they have vacillated on this strategy in this week. first they said they weren't; now they are.

you'd be stupid to think their approach is because of the 'sensibleness' of medieval precautions. i mean, really. self-defeating term, isn't it? the 'wisdom' of plague treatments from an era before germ theory of disease, when people thought they were being struck by god's wrath. yeah ... no.

their botched and opaque response is entirely because of politics and nothing to do with 'knowing a thing the world doesn't' about epidemiology. rofl. you do make me fucking laugh. you've spent half this pandemic telling us that their cases/deaths figures are a huge con; now they're paragons of world-beating strategy. ok dilbert. enjoy tying yourself in knots over there.

'know something we don't' -- yeah, that their non-mRNA vaccines don't work at all and that their top-heavy elderly population are still massively at risk. not that 'medieval solutions' apparently are the panacea. LMAO.

remember when dilbert kept going on and on about how china bio-engineered this thing and unleashed it on the world 'on purpose'. how they had already reverse-engineered it and had a silver-bullet vaccine, which explained their recalcitrance over facts and their untrustworthy data.

fast forward 2 years and apparently they intentionally released a lethal pathogen on the world so that they could lockdown all their major cities ad infinitum. because 'china are smart and know the best way to deal with this thing'.

you just can't make it up.

Will Smith slapping Chris Rock is deplorable I guess. But it is certainly the most interesting thing to happen at the Oscars in a generation. Will Smith saved the academy awards.

There are videos of Will Smith crying in the seating area. They had to blank out his cursing across the room too. Not staged.

But unironically a great moment in Oscar history considering he also won best actor a little afterward. Chris Rock comes out looking like a stud in the whole thing. Eats the slap, and keeps the show going.

The people talking about the sanctity of the Academy awards are dopes. The people who own the broadcast are secretly very happy. The ratings for the show have been on a decades long nosedive. Now Chris Rock will host again next year and his opening monologue will be the most watched in Oscar history. The slap will be a topic in the Netflix special. I am not even sure this is bad for Will Smith since it definitely brought attention to his movie.

10/10, a great moment in television.

re: korean is annoying

There's a whole family of hilarious videos on what English sounds like to foreign ears.
