Itā€™s the complete opposite of NYC where 84% of adults are fully vaccinated and almost everybody follows mask mandates.

Oh btw. On the way to urgent care they stopped to eat lunch at a restaurant. Boomers gonna boomer.

Eh. Lot of non maskers here, unfortunately.

Yeah, I was in Atlanta and Nashville in the last month and most people in both cities were mostly masked from what I saw too. I went to bluegrass dive bars in Nashville where vax cards were required. Now, tour the shithole midwest and rural areas.

Based on the ad for Howard Sternā€™s 19 from 2019 I donā€™t think that picture is from last Friday.

Youre correct, planet fitness wasnt the hat sponsor this year.

That being said, watching the ball drop, there were still a LOT of people and unmasked people

literally not one mask either

i didnā€™t watch it but conservatives were making fun of everyone wearing masks on twitter

Thanks, weird I watched it live and thought I saw different hats.

Remind me not to be an eyewitness for anything

Is your Dad always this much of a thoughtless p.o.s? Or was it a case of I have the vax and I guess Iā€™ll placate junior?

Weā€™ll never know the answer but I wonder if we would have had more deaths this winter if Omicron never appeared and we just had the normal holiday waves of delta.

I canā€™t get Honest Kids Juice boxes, which is juice diluted with water. Now I have to mix store brand juice with water myself like a fucking barbarian.

I mean, my parents are middle class boomers who never took the pandemic that seriously. While my partner and I were staying home (when she wasnā€™t shoveling bodies into the crematory) my parents were eating at Outback in winter 2021 because reasons. Theyā€™ve never listened to anything I had to say on the pandemic and my dad dismisses anything I bring up on politics / healthcare / inequality / etc.

My mom is a retired teacher, lifelong Democrat, labor union member, empathetic and compassionate person. She just canā€™t stay isolated for months because sheā€™s so extrovertedā€¦ or whatever.

My dad is in the skilled trades and was a lifelong dem and labor union member. Then he voted for Trump in 2016 and itā€™s been downhill since. I didnā€™t speak to him for about 6 months after he made some snide comment about the NBA players refusing to play after another police incident while we were out golfing. His mother was incredibly racist and heā€™s not quite as overt, but definitely a typical white boomer, laborer, racist.

So yea. Heā€™s a self centered asshole. When I brought up the booster at Christmas he told me he didnā€™t need it because this wave was mild. Lol.
