Ah, so we have a happily willing participant! Just fill out this form with your name, dob, ssn, address, fingerprint of all 10 plus your penis and/or clitoris, salava and sperm sample (if possible), banking details
for our constant analysis and records, and send it via registered mail to Do You Fucking Get It Yet, 1 Washington Is Fucking You Road, Washington DC.Imagine filling out an application with this sort of shit, just to buy beer or bang a prostitute. But nooooooo, it’s fine! This is different! We are protecting the children! We are just keeping people safe! The next step is to ban porn as a whole, just like prohibition. Fuck off with your bullshit. I have - checking my notes here - 63GB of my own personal library, and that’s rather small I’d say, only been collecting high quality content for about 21 years. Someone somewhere has TB in their collection, and the smart ones will be relaxing in bliss while everyone else is blue-balled and nutting to the lady on a can of soup.

Oh, most definitely elevators. They have rather sophisticated safety measures, and I’ve been told the safest place involving an elevator issue is in the box, it’s just the wait for aid to arrive. I’ve actually walked by a collapsed escalator, so uh, put me in the box suspended in the air any day.
- Comment on Stuck 2 days ago:
I told my partner at a convention this year to just take the escalator with me. While I’m in my wheelchair. He didn’t find it humorous, but I mean we were going up, c’mon. Just a little fun, pleeeeeease.
- Comment on Stuck 2 days ago:
Elevators are WAY fucking easier. Although when a building has a corridor with several, and the doors only open for 315 milliseconds, and so you’re racing as best you can to the door, just for it to close and you have to push the fucking button again…
Looking at you, Hyatt Regency O’Hare. Make the shit stay open longer, jesus fuck. And why the hell are the accessible rooms not on the ground or lobby floors? And why the hell are they all 2x doubles, and no 1x king config in the entire hotel? And another thing…

Ew, no. Nobody uses phones for voice communication, dad. We are all shut-ins and any calls must be regarding an immediate life-or-death situation.

Exactly - my sibling just got dealt a shitty hand in trying to stay safe. There’s no absolutes in life, unfortunately.
- Comment on bird flu 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, I agree with all your points - mine boils to just giving a real-world example that “safe and effective” does not mean “completely safe” or “completely effective”. Just like if you are driving to a dealership to trade in your old beater for a 5-star safety rated car, just to be hit and killed by a F-450 on the way there; trying to protect yourself still comes with risk. Everything, everyday, is a risk. Not taking action, is a risk. Just need to evaluate the best course of action for whatever situation, and act.

That too, though they (and myself) have no known allergies.
I’ve thinking about getting tested, as I know my mother is deathly allergic to seafood, for example. Found that out as her windpipe constructed at a restaurant, apparently (before my time). I don’t want to find out that my body doesn’t jive with something as I’m rushing to the ER…
- Comment on bird flu 3 weeks ago:
It was the only change in their day-to-day life (they, and myself, are both housebound due to disabilities), and is a known risk of any injection, afaik. I’m not into the med field myself so this is all secondary knowledge, but I found the name of the condition: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guillain–Barré_syndrome (jeez that’s a mangled url).
Doubt all you want, but I watched it unfold over the course of a week before they were admitted to the hospital, and stayed there for over a month before being able to return home. I watched the difficulties grow, and I went to see them in the hospital a couple weeks after being admitted. It was absolutely heartbreaking. They already had enough to deal with before it occurred (physical and cognitive impairments, from birth) and it was just… just really trying, showing strength and being positive while scared I was going to lose a sibling.

To piggyback off this:
Not to be that guy, but I have an immediate family member who got their booster and (I don’t remember what the technical term was, apologies) their immune system started attacking their nerves, which caused them to lose most control over their hands, arms, feet, and legs, and at the worst point, become bedridden and at risk of dying, had they not received the care they did (I’ve been told the docs said ‘a few more days and it would have been too late’). They are recovering, still, almost 3y later; daily care, wheelchair, walker, weekly therapy. It’s been a very slow process, and they only got the help they needed because another family member is in the medical field and was able to correctly diagnose their situation, when their main (prior, now) gp shrugged it off as the flu (???) twice, even as their condition was worsening and painfully obviously not just “the flu”. I have heard of friends of friends who seem to have had this phenomenon occur, but we’re not as lucky to receive (the correct) treatment in time.
Two other family members who got the booster at the same time had no issues. I got mine a couple months after, with no issues. They are usually safe… but not always. Practicing medicine, studying science; never absolutes. Healthy dose of skepticism is okay. But weigh the risks logically, not just “this can happen so I’m never going to do X”, as someone X can save you from Y. My mom in particular was freaking out when I got my booster - understandable, but it’s one risk over another.

It’s like you’ve never heard of archival or how to keep data safe, protected, or backed up.
Also intentionally missing the valid point when compared to physical items just shoots yourself in the foot for any further arguments.
