Post Vaxxed Life
So… don’t post in it? Got one dosage so far but had the bug from Jan 1/9/21-1/19/21 so I consider myself vaxxed around the gf and her family who are all 2 weeks post vaxxed. I’m still getting my 2nd on 5/23. That said, been nice doing bar hopping and brunch eating not worried about mouth breathing anti-vaxxer morons infecting me. Sure it’s a possibility but I hope we are fine odds wise. Hopefully they get shamed enough to not go out or get vaxxed finally. We need to view this as dealing with flat earther types. No compromise with Their stupidity. Full stop. Kudos to all living normal lives after during their civic duty of getting the vax.

Are all Restaurants Understaffed now (2021)?
Well fuck me, didn’t know that was going on in March. Shit, guess I will go back and give it another try. Thanks for link

Are all Restaurants Understaffed now (2021)?
Not against that (in fact for it) and Restaurants do have it tough, I get that for all the reasons above. But went to the bar next door back in March bc of March madness (no bball, fuck Shaka) and figured I’d help support local business while getting out for a bit. Ordered wings and a beer, and Diet Coke just after the wings arrived. Was about $31 before tip; 7beer (fine, that’s just nyc), 2ish coke (fine, that’s just restaurant prices anywhere), but wings were $18 for 8. Fuck me! Pre-pandemic easily 12ish, maybe 15 on the rare chance but 18?! I get they need to make rent but it felt like they were doubling or tripling prices across the board for the entrees. I don’t Hate them for it but won’t really go back either. Rather spend at other places until things calm down. In fact we have stayed away from eating out bc some places have insane prices. it’s one thing to pass along price increases from market forces but for this normal ass bar it felt like they were hiking the prices in order to make up for all the months of lost revenue. I get it, it sucked for y’all, sucked for me too, but don’t think that I as the customer should suffer it all now either.

Who's been covid vaxxed? Stand up and be counted.
Sorta the same with the armpit lymph nodes here. Not swollen but definitely tender/sensitive. Got it the day after but gone now on day 5 (probably only lasted 2 days).

Identifying Trump rioters
Remember the Barnett guy with his shoes on pelosi's desk? Saw he was released pre-trial but then realized I went to school with his lawyer. I hadn't realize my buddy had gotten so trumpy. Glad he was on cnn the other day but still embarrassing.

Cinco de Drunko aftermath thread
Went to a newish mexican restaurant that was taking reservations for some reason (been in pandemic mode so long seemed strange as hell to deal with a restaurant that wouldn't immediately try to serve us in order to make some money) but lots of people were late so they were letting in first come first serve. Waited about 5 min and got seated. There was a 90 minute limit but stayed 4 hours. Got free straw hats and had 3 margs, 2 beers, and a quesadilla. Took straw hats to another brand new mexican peruvian restaurant around the corner where we got weird looks for the hats. Fuck'em, outrageous straw hats are funny no matter who wears them and anyone can. Proceeded to have salchipappas, 3 margs, and 4 shots with the mariachis who stayed to drink. Walked home and bought chicken/lamb over rice and finished it off with a bag of tortilla chips. I feel like a fucking fat ass. But woke up ok, showered, started work at 10.

COVID-19 vaccine discussion
To be fair, the first time I read that tweet in your post (without really reading the context from the quoted post or your post), I assumed the tweet on the left was mainly criticizing the unvaccinated worked that caused someone else to die: "If everyone had been responsible and vaccinated like we recommended, the resident wouldn't have died." But yeah, I see what y'all are saying too.

Who's been covid vaxxed? Stand up and be counted.
Had covid Jan 9-19, finally said fuck it and i should get the vaccine. NYC fucked up the rollout of the vaccine amongst other things (no cr) but holy hell, the current website is a breeze to navigate. Saturday night i made the decision to get vaxxed, and could narrow the search for first dose by brand and location. The Times Sq location was pfizer only and had tons of free spots late saturday and all day sunday. Got first shot yesterday at 4pm. 2nd dose will be May 23. Felt fine yesterday other than sore arm, woke up this morning with it feeling like Tyson punched the shit out of it. Otherwise mildly under the weather but nothing too bad or notable, just not feeling hundred percent. My allergies last week were way worse.

As a Latino, it’s offensive. It’s akin to to hearing Ellis & Salazar. Real austinites know what I mean

Cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, etc.)
Is it worth it to own the S and the X or vice versa to back each other up? Saying this as someone who just owns btc and isn’t interested/able to deep drive into other coins right now. But it is a nice chunk of btc (to me at least). Was told to just get the X, but the ledger website selling a beginners combo for both devices and I know Jack squat about cold storage

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
Here at Astoria park, first time I’ve seen her speak in person. She is a tiny human. Can’t hear shit but glad I came to at least see her. Smaller crowd than I expected and everyone very youngish. Kind of funny that I never thought soap boxes were a thing but holy hell, a couple extra feet would do wonders in this situation. Good for her for speaking today in commemoration of earth day activities. Can’t get closer to see but also glad that this thread has fallen so far. She is doing work but a 245 pg thread on a house rep from the NYC on a tx college board?

Black parents should peruse college message boards
Now, only now. Back when the flashing envelope warning was flying around it seemed to span the spectrum of ideas, albeit obviously conservative considering it was a Texas message board. If you hide the url and user names, for the most controversial/"popular" political threads from 2020 on you'd be hard pressed to guess whether the posts were on TD, Texags, or Hornfans. A lot of the HF posts would get shut down pretty quick over here.

Black parents should peruse college message boards
Sadly, IMO the old Hornfans political board is indistinguishable from texags, tiger droppings. Never gone to orange bloods, so no clue on them or other texas boards. That said, the food and investing boards on texags and tiger droppings are pretty great and seem rather “normal”. The few threads on those two specific sections that I’ve checked out have funny/interesting info and nothing glaringly vitriolic. I think they even started a penny stock thread due to the one here but that’s just pure conjecture.

Chicago cops murder 13 year old point blank
Agreed the culpability is non-zero for the first 2 but we wouldn’t even have this convo if not for the third one making a mistake. Guns don’t kill people, people do, am I doing that right here for #3?

Philando Castile would say Eat a dick, but he can’t cause he did all the above and was still murdered.

A Great Story to Remember We are Human Not Social Media Memes
Nice stories overall but What the shit do they have to do with memes? Couldn’t it just be a pandemic story of good will? Or just normal goodwill stories?

Cops pepper spray and beat uniformed Black army officer over routine traffic stop.
To be fair, you can have your hands out of the car and open the door to get out. It’s awkward as hell but certainly possible; also doesn’t exclude the shitty ass cops in this situation. Just wanted to point out that the commands aren’t exactly conflicting. Confusing for some, sure, but not strictly conflicting so that’s just bad reporting (sadly par for the course of today’s journalism) edit: forgot he had his seatbelt on, that would be conflicting orders but yeah, no doubt he’d be shot if he reached in without warning and even if he said he was going to undue his seatbelt, I’d put it at over 50% he’d be shot. Still stand by fact that it is shitty reporting though.
