@StephanieResists exactly!!! Pretty pathetic! Sadly, one of my friends was an ardent supporter!! He refused to get vaccinated. He got covid last December. Before he died, he told his BF that he regretted not getting vaccinated. He died for what???? Like so many others.
@Spagesgallo1 That's sad. I just can't make any sense of it at all. It's like the same story being told on repeat.
@StephanieResists I know. I felt terrible to hear that about him. But I was also furious with him. He was 60, wife and daughter. WTF??? Like you, I still can't make any sense of it all as well. People still refusing to get vaccinated, getting covid and dying! Three years later...then you have people refusing other vaccines, so things like polio, scarlet fever, measels, etc are making a comeback! I am beyond pissed!
@Spagesgallo1 @StephanieResists
There's a whole subreddit dedicated to people who say the virus is a democratic hoax, that the vaccine is poison, and the people who get vaxxed are going to die. They're all trump supporters, of course, and they all wind up in the hospital saying, "covid is no joke". Some get intubated, some don't make it, some go home and either change their tune or go right back to the virus being a hoax. It's straight insanity.
@ExecutiveFunction404 @StephanieResists I am totally not surprised by what you are saying. The misinformation and conspiracy theories are all alive and well. My friend was a supporter and also machismo. He probably thought that even if he did get it, it would be nothing. I used to see him every summer at the beach. He used to ride his unicycle from his home..20+ miles. Prob thought he was invincible. Attended his wake virtually. Not one person was wearing a mask. WTF??? Yes, insanity!
@Spagesgallo1 @StephanieResists
Similarly, Aug '21, my good friend passed from #covid also. He was in his early 40s, worked out w a personal trainer, wasn't unhealthy, but was traveling all during the pandemic. He just didn't take it seriously. Went down to FL to open a restaurant, came back up to LI & the next day, tested positive. 3 weeks later, he was dead. Few people were masked at his funeral & they asked if I wanted to go get food after 🤦♀️ I haven't sat inside a restaurant since 2019.
@ExecutiveFunction404 @Spagesgallo1 I've also not sat in a restaurant since before the pandemic.
@ExecutiveFunction404 @Spagesgallo1 Right, it doesn't bother me in the least to just stay home.
@StephanieResists @ExecutiveFunction404 people just don't care about one another. It's a sad commentary, but it's true. People are just way too selfish and self centered. There actually was a time when people did things in cooperation for the greater good.
@ExecutiveFunction404 @StephanieResists what??? What did I just miss? 😳 How is that socialism?
@Spagesgallo1 @ExecutiveFunction404 they was just being funny about the part of people helping others out for the greater good
@StephanieResists @Spagesgallo1
Yes, the quotes were to express that it was coming from the selfish people, who are usually on the red side of things.
Sorry, sometimes I forget that it's hard to express sarcasm via text.
@ExecutiveFunction404 @StephanieResists no worries! I should have realized where you were coming from! Looking back on it, it's freaking hysterical! 🤣 because you nailed it! You nailed their ignorant mentality! Meanwhile, the ones who continue to vote against their best interests...Medicare and Social Security!
@StephanieResists @ExecutiveFunction404 OK. I thought I missed something and I did, I missed the freaking joke! 😳🤣
@ExecutiveFunction404 @StephanieResists Same thing here! OMG! Yes, I miss going out for hibachi. That was ALWAYS my favorite. It still is. The place by us does take out since the pandemic. I just buy my own sake and we are good! 🤣 We do carry out as well and eat outside as well in the summer. No big deal, at least for us. Like you, I don't understand what the issue is either. My husband and I were homebodies to begin with, so we remain content and happy.
@StephanieResists @ExecutiveFunction404 I wonder if we are the minority. Except for Xmas Eve, which I was not happy about, we haven't dined indoors since the pandemic hit. My birthday in January 2020 was the last time. In all honesty, I don't miss it, except for hibachi. Otherwise, take out is just as good.
@StephanieResists @ExecutiveFunction404 do you miss dining out or going out to places with large crowds?
@Spagesgallo1 @ExecutiveFunction404 no I don't miss it really. I kind of like just being left alone, especially after finding out how many stupid ass people there are out there walking around amongst us 😆
@StephanieResists @ExecutiveFunction404 Stephanie, you just described exactly how I feel as well! 🤣🤣🤣 I just felt like you read my mind! You nailed it! I just can't handle doing the peopling thing anymore. Especially stupid ass people! 😆
@Spagesgallo1 @StephanieResists
I miss dancing so much. I haven't been to a club in years. I've been to a few outdoor events, but nothing inside. I love going out, but it's not worth my health; now or in the future.
While I love the fresh food in restaurants, I wasn't a fan of going to restaurants to sit and wait. It doesn't jive well with the adhd lol. Hibachi is different, bc half the fun is being there.
@ExecutiveFunction404 @StephanieResists aww, going to clubs to dance really was so much fun. Haven't been since the 80's. I get it what you mean about not going out because it's not worth risking your health. Same here. I do enjoy the beach in the summer. I just make sure that I find a spot far, far away from ppl. 🤣 Did that pre covid too! I get it about the fresh food in rest. Not a fan of sitting, waiting and trying to get attention of server. Not good for adhd. Hibachi is interactive/fun
@Spagesgallo1 @StephanieResists
That's my main affliction is the lack of dancing. It was my exercise, bc regular exercise is incredibly boring to me and the delayed reward isn't conducive to my brain chemistry 😂 A solo dance party in my living room just isn't the same hahaha (tho that has definitely happened!)
My husband hates people also, so I can understand your pov through him lol. I love people & talk to strangers all the time. We're polar opposites that way hahaha
@ExecutiveFunction404 @StephanieResists I totally get it about dancing being your exercise. It really is great exercise and fun too! Going to the gym is beyond boring.
It's not so much that I hate ppl. I actually do like ppl. or else I would not have been a hairdresser or become a social worker. We just have to jive energetically! LOL! If not, then I find them draining. I miss my Tai Chi classes. Those were actually great exercise and lots of fun!
@StephanieResists @Spagesgallo1
My life isn't any different for not going out to restaurants. Hibachi is the only thing I haven't eaten since. We still order and carry out elsewhere. In the summer, we'll sit outside. It doesn't seem like the end of the world to me. I don't understand the vitriol over it 🤷♀️
