Yeah, its not like Star Trek suddenly went woke, its been woke. First ever TV kiss between mixed races was between Kirk and Uhura. Scandalous.

That too, but the heart eyes indicate she's genuinely into it.

I'm thinking she needs drama in her life and him threatening to kill himself is just the drama she needs.

I use https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09TB83NR2?ref=emc_s_m_5_i_atc and I just don't use the wifi, everything can be done on device or from a PC you plug the SD card into. I know you said you want it without wifi, but without more details I don't know if "without wifi" is a necessity or if it just is fully functional without using "wifi" is sufficient for your needs. By default wifi is disabled while the camera has power to it and is recording, and its wifi enabled/disabled state can be changed in the menu to keep it off.

Correlation != Causation, VAERS reports != Vaccine Caused Issue

[–] pleasejustdie 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (2 children)

No, its just that VAERS is for reporting everything that happens around a vaccine so that the reports can be investigated to determine if there is a link between the report and the vaccine. In most of cases, the investigation turns up no link between the vaccine and the issue. The reason why this doesn't make news was because it was debunked years ago when it was being spread around by right-wing pundits who, like you, didn't bother to actually lookup what VAERS is for and how it works.

For Example: If you bought a burger at burger king and then got into a car accident. If there was VAERS for car accidents it would be reported that you had burger king before getting in the car accident. That doesn't mean the burger caused the car accident, just that you had a burger then had a car accident. However if 10,000 reports came in of burgers being eaten then people getting into car accidents, it shows a trend that the FDA can investigate. And maybe they would discover that burger king put hallucinogenic in their burgers, but its far more likely that what they discover is people aren't paying attention because they are driving with a burger in their mouth. As such the system will show a possible link between burger king and car accidents, when in reality people are just shitty drivers.

In the end, the number of actual deaths that could be contributed to a Covid vaccine in the US could be counted on 1 hand. The J&J vaccine had a very very small chance (like 0.000001%) that people with a pre-existing condition could have heart palpitations. And 3 people died of that before it was known. After it was known they discovered what signs to look for and bit of a muscle relaxer, like ibuprofen, was enough to prevent death, which means that its still 99.99999% less likely to die from the vaccine than from Covid. And the J&J vaccine was the one made with the old non-MRNA vaccine. There were 0 reported deaths actually linked to the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines. But there are thousands of VAERS entries, because that's literally what VAERS is for. Report everything no matter how minute or unrelated it may be so the FDA can actually find the 0.0000001% of cases where there is an actual unknown adverse reaction and take steps to prevent that in the future.

As someone who was forced to do this for a couple months when I was in the Army, rotating shifts destroys your ability to get good sleep, its horrendous to actually experience. It took about 2 months before people started getting so sleep deprived that people started failing PT (physical training) tests and it took the brigade commander looking at our battalion and asking "wtf is going on over there?" and hearing what our battalion had done to our shift schedule and put a stop to it. He called over every single soldier who failed their PT test to hear our excuses, and when most of us were first time failures and we all had the exact same complaint, by the time he got to me, he was like "You've been on rotating shifts, unable to sleep, and were forced to take this test after a shift when you're completely exhausted like everyone else?" "yes sir" "ok, don't expect that shift rotation to last, I'll be talking to your battalion commander after this. Send in the next person." Dude was ready to just start ripping into us but changed his tune right quick after hearing about the fucked up shift schedule and lack of any common sense in the leadership's ability to plan properly. One of the few times where shit actually rolled uphill. Suffice it to say, before I even finished the drive back to my barracks, I was being called by my platoon sergeant that we'd have to a new schedule tomorrow and to just show up for swing shift like we normally would be on.

In the prison I worked at we would usually rotate shifts every 6 months, but our commander heard complaints about people being on day shift for so long at one time that they were getting burnt out dealing with 90% of the problem times with inmates, and instead of changing it to every 3 months, changed the rotation to every 2 days. Literally, 2 days on Day shift, 2 days on Swing shift, 2 days on Night shift, 1 day off, then back to days. And that last day was getting off shift at 6AM, doing PT until 8AM, Barracks Maintenance until 10 AM, then because of the rotation, we'd have to be back in at work at 5:30 AM the next day, so our 1 day off a week was only 19.5 hours, and you're exhausted but you can't sleep yet, otherwise you'll be up all night before work the next day, so you force yourself to run on fumes, getting a haircut, getting food and supplies for the next week, etc. Then sleeping, so there was literally never any time to relax. It fucking sucked.
