contention: the "eeyorism" schtick was an attempt to Narrative in a way that flattered their priors, because they also are possessed of Epsteinitis (the slightly less bad one)

Looks like I owe you some congrats on joining the Banned From LGM Club? Kind of a shame that they seem to have chosen Narrative Uber Alles, but I guess the pandemic has broken us all in our own special ways. Good luck and stay safe.

Totally agree. Normal is still new for me, but it feels great.

I third that. I got vaxxed at a hospital where one of my doctors works, and they were very clear that it was all free. Even had free parking. They didn’t even ask for my insurance information.

It's such a low-population state that, maybe, some already vaccinated people moved out, therefore messing up the overall stats?

Get Smart once had a bit where they were doing a check-up on the robot Hymey:

"Do you drink?""Only motor oil.""Do you smoke?""Only when I drink cheap oil."

I got the shots because I'm a 62 year old overweight diabetic and I ain't dying.

It really is pretty embarrassing that we need all these gimmicks to get certain people vaccinated, especially when so many other countries would LOVE to have more vaccines.

I got vaxxed way earlier than I thought I would, because I got a call from a very nice lady named Yolanda at the hospital where one of my doctors works. Normally I don’t answer my phone if I don’t recognize the number, but for some reason I answered this particular call. She told me I was eligible and did I want the shot and could I come in the next afternoon? Heck yeah! I felt like I’d won the lottery. I thanked her profusely and said that I bet she was getting the same enthusiastic response from lots of people. She kind of laughed and said no, I was definitely probably one of the most excited folks she’d talked to. I just don’t get it.

My plans for things I never actually intend to do usually involve a planet fitness, but I guess this is how men do it?
