Originally posted by Jiggaboo_Johnson I don't know about that, I could definitely see Bradley committing a multiple murder and being on the news talking about "blacking out".
so can i. i'm not perfect, i often get things wrong. but anyway, he's a weirdly forgivable sort of guy, a few vaguely deserving victims could easily be overlooked. -

car dealers and loan providers know that people cannot afford to pay off their loans and won't be able to trade in because loan costs are outpacing the value of the vehicles themselves, so they're apparently dropping the stipulation that you cannot have an existing auto loan to get a new one.
they're counting on people defaulting on their existing loans with their existing providers to get new ones, and they're encouraging this behaviour because it's the only way they stay in business
they're normalising people getting their shit repossessed so they can take out fresh loans
i keep hoping, but they just inflate their way out of everything. it's the benefit of having a fiat currency.
every time i think of everything going properly tits up I get that 'christmas morning' feeling of excitement but, continuing the metaphor, i just get socks. used ones at that. there's always something. money's a myth. -

Originally posted by aldra could you ever be sure it was COVID and not a cold or flu though, considering they mutate constantly and some years are far worse than others? generally speaking it's the persistent dry cough that differentiates COVID but it's not that uncommon of a symptom regardless.
when I had it (twice) the only thing that really felt different to me was the complete lack of energy; I could barely bring myself to move for a few days. the first time was way worse but I was also withdrawing so I imagine that didn't help a whole lot
I'm sure it was covid. Symptoms that were new to me were the dry cough and loss of smell, but also a headache which I never get with colds or flu, maybe a little if really congested, but it was sore at the top/back of my head which i'd never had before. I also got floored for maybe a day or so.
It's not impossible the tests picked up something else, but five people get colds etc. with negative results, then all five get covid with covid symptoms and corresponding test results. It's stretching reason to think it was anything else. -
2022-12-20 at 11:22 AM UTC in US Senate report concludes covid probably came from a labIt's interesting to see how actual experience can differ from reporting. There were five of us together in a house during the covid times (all leading relatively normal lives, independently mixing with other people).
We all avoided covid for ages, but when one got it, we all eventually succumbed with me being last. We'd had various other minor bugs previously, and tested negative as expected. We knew when it was covid, because of the weird symptoms.
Nobody ever got a false-positive or a false-negative, and PCR tests always independently corresponded to lateral-flow results. My own positive result felt significant because I was last, and so had accumulated a whole load of previous negative results.
It's enough to convince me that covid was detectable and could be detected reliably enough (whether it always was is another matter). -

Originally posted by ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ No proper testing, as a PCR test is unable to identify viruses.
I don't know the details of lateral-flow and pcr tests, but they consistently reported my state of infection correctly, and all test results corresponded with events and onset of symptoms. I was testing a lot, because people I was in close contact with caught the rona in sequence, and I was last (nearly avoided it).
The chance of two independent forms of tests repeatedly (e.g. something like 5 times in a row) getting correspondingly correct results seems slim to me. -
