Happy Easter goyim! I don’t imagine you are getting any exercise today unless you are hunting for Easter eggs. And no, shoveling jelly–beans into your mouth does not count as exercise.
Today is the last day of Passover. Thank you Jesus. I miss bread and beer and veggie burgers and…. Most of you bastards are going to make short work of a defenseless piggie today. So, I suppose the only thing it makes sense to discuss is food.
Let’s pretend it’s a normal day. You aren’t on a diet. You aren’t trying to lose weight. You have hit your goal weight and you are maintaining it. Alternatively, life isn’t perfect and you are just doing your best to avoid putting on the pounds. What is your eating strategy?
My strategy is straightforward. I just avoid the obvious problems. Soda is out. Cookies and sweets are right out. After dinner I make sure to eat some fruit, so I have had something sweet. As soon as I’m done, I brush my teeth. Once that’s done, I have capped the day and I’m not putting anything else into my maw.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I know this crowd won’t be deterred from being with family due to Covid. Your family members may have different thoughts, of course. More than a few of you have shared your stories of family members who are trying to hermetically seal themselves off from the world. If that’s your situation, you have my condolences.
Can someone make sense of Rochelle Walensky for me? Is she schizophrenic? Is the Biden administration kneecapping her? I can’t remember another agency head, in any administration, who publicly contradicts themselves/their agency on such a regular basis.
I tried to find a rock song about Easter but struck out. Is there no enterprising member of my tribe willing to capitalize on this market failure? I’m looking at you Scott Ian, David Lee Roth, Perry Farrell, and Geddy Lee. Are Hunt and Tony Sales so busy since the demise of Tin Machine? Gene Simmons couldn’t find a few shekels to make off this holiday? For goodnesssake, Neil Diamond couldn’t push something out like he has for every other event? *sigh* Here is this week’s music choice. I did my best.
Second year in a row of missing my Easter tradition of being in Vegas looking to see if any of the other old punks have actually decided to put together a show for the last day of Viva. Room reservations for next year open up Wednesday morning (01:00 Pacific online).
Got over 40 miles in the saddle last week, a climb and headwind made me tap out yesterday and call for a ride of shame. Taking a rest day today to let the legs recover, and I should be able to get back in the saddle at least two days this week (rain is predicted for the others).
I hit a weight of under 200 for the first time since last April, with body fat falling to under 26%.
Over 40 beers last week. Lifted every one of them myself.
Good work Neph! I would link Aerosmith’s Back In The Saddle but I don’t think that’s your taste in music.
Thanks Chafed. I also managed to hit 50 lifetime rides at my regular spin studio (going about once a week has worked for maintenance).
Reposting this from the dead thread, because it’s such a great quote.
This one, having finally been realized, makes me think that H.L. Mencken should be doing our Horoscope. Because he was truly a prophet.
Jan 20, 2021:
“As democracy is perfected, the office of the president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”
And, secondest.
You misspelled “Become completely disconnected from the inner soul of the people.”
This week 73 miles of riding with about 4000 feet in elevation climbed. Also 1 Catholic mass, which is almost like doing burpees. Down almost 2 pounds.
Nice. If I do the ride I started yesterday again, I’m going to find another route south. I dislike long stretches on two lane rolling roads with speed limits over 30 MPH. That was ~10 miles of the route yesterday.
We generally don’t have rolling roads here. It’s either up or down or flat for long periods so the visibility is decent. I’ve heard the rolling roads can be really dangerous.
Yeah, the rolling hills with little passing room is not my preference. Around me, it’s generally flat. This was my first time trying this route, which I won’t be riding again. I met a local at one of the establishments who was also a rider, and he recommended a less busy road to ride for the North/South portion of the ride. I’ll be driving it first after that last ride.
If we weren’t talking about biking, I would suggest that you do the ride again, albeit in worse condition / conditions than previous just to show that ride who is boss. The problem with biking is that if you make a (a certain class of) mistake, you die.
I’m planning on getting to the same destinations again (just for that reason), but I want to find a more bike friendly route. Getting some leaves on the trees to help slow down the wind would also be a help.
Couple of songs about Jesus.
Melodic indie pop from Holland.
https://youtu.be/QdfEevTNAUo
Australian psychedelic surf rock from the 70’s
https://youtu.be/KRH5g6yoWBA
Sister Janet Mead
Experimental, weirdo, no idea what you’d call it, Jesus song
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wfamPW3Eaw
Nice.
Jesus and Tequila https://youtu.be/JG_XYVbq6vY
Jesus Was A Pacifist https://youtu.be/ZgXyM8Bri94
https://youtu.be/GXCh9OhDiCI
Obvious addition to the list…
Thanks. There are dozens, at least, rock songs with Jesus in the title. I took a pass because I was trying to find something at connected to Easter. So much for that.
Since we are all in on “Jesus” rock songs, here’s another: https://youtu.be/K2vWwKqYwko
In my defense, we had already gone of topic. I can’t think of any Easter-specific tunes either.
Well there is a band calked Easterhouse https://youtu.be/DrYAxUUw6mw
Smith’s-like jangly British pop from the mid-80’s. I’m reluctant to post them here because… they are raging commie assholes. Good tunes, awful awful politics.
Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam https://youtu.be/t-AvJTeQ4hQ
Jesus Alone https://youtu.be/9iGxoJnygW8
That Jesus Alone tune reminds me that I need more Nick Cave in my life. In fact, I might have a new playlist. Goth/rockabilly/garagey/trashy….
Y’all Motherfuckers Need Jesus
Bangin’ in the Nails (would have been more appropriate for Friday)
Well, he just left Chicago!
…and went to New Orleans.
The wife walked by and said, “That’s a great song!”
Cool! That band (in truth, a married couple with a rotating cast of other players) is a regional treasure from Cincy. I believe they’ve also toured (and sometime sat in) with Cowboy Junkies. They’re Christian, and their faith is expressed fairly subtly in their music. My personal favorite of theirs.
She was born in Ohio, adopted and moved here when she was a baby. The band has a bit of gospel-ish sound, which I kinda like too.
This crazy bitch is just here to play Jesus to the lepers in her head.
Better version!
DooDoo-dodo-doo-do-doo He’s my friend!
I got a friend in Jesus.
Here. Because he likes the name.
My eating strategy is keto diet, not skipping meals, and sensible portion sizes. Sensible snacking is ok.
If you don’t have a kitchen scale, you’re doing it wrong.
Hanging strong at 148 with zero effort.
Man, that roast is permeating the house with wonderful aroma.
Another great quote from yesteryear.
“The most urgent necessity is, not that the State should teach, but that it should allow education. All monopolies are detestable, but the worst of all is the monopoly of education.”
/ Frederic Bastiat
These guys were all prophets
Hi Chafed, Happy Easter! Thanks for this edition and greetings from NOCal.
G-fit update: Sleep was great. Food was fabulous no treats or cheats… Hike mileage 35 miles. Wim Hoff/meditative “ancient man” techniques; I had a good week. Weight is down. Did some MIIT…stairs with 30# pack. 48 hr fast was pretty good. Lost 5 ½ pounds from start to fast finish. Ended the week with net loss was 2 pounds.
Goals: Still not at goal weight (176.5 ). Still not dead from Covid…so I got that going for me, too.
In other news. In preparation for the Gavin Recall, I decided to un-register to vote. Well, that is unpossible. There is no option for that. So I had to re-register and chose non-denominational with no option for ballot. I predict a Jury duty notice in my immediate future.
Re The Vaccines: How many are there? Like 10 or something world wide. They were all equally safe and effective? I guess, when we put the greatest minds on something.. success is inevitable for every variation. We should put those same minds on a cardiovascular/cancer vaccine… A real moon shot, Joe!
I found an interesting web site called PANDA for all manner of Covid statistics from an actuary. https://www.pandata.org
De todos modos, ¡tenga una gran semana y sáltese una comida o tres!
They were all equally safe and effective?
There have been some problems with the Astra -Zeneca vaccine in Europe.
Reports of blood clots. It sounds like it is a rare side effect, but some European countries stopped or restricted distribution of the Astra-Zeneca vaccine.
Yep, I was aware of that vaccine causing blood clots. My family has a history with Factor V Leiden mutation that causes blood clots. What was most interesting is that there are numerous pathways/factors for blood to clot or not. Quite honestly, there is not much known or studied about the various factors interactions/effects because there are literally thousands of potential permutations possible. They just treat with blood thinners of one sort or another.
Yeah, that Seth Efrican guy has been on several podcasts lately.
My county has a deregister option; they want a short-answer reason IIRC. If I ever do it I will write “too much political junk mail”.
I just thought it was odd to not have an option. What if I move, become more incapacitated or die or worse and I become ineligible…. I did think it was nice to see on the web site that they tracked my participation in voting..probably what I voted for too.
Great minds think alike. I just became aware of pandata the other day. I need to spend some time on that site.
I saw that Hudson guy on a video. He was making some really compelling arguments about the pandemic. One thing he said really hit me: He said that there have been 40 years of epidemic public health protocols developed and refined and then in a blink all those plans were torn up for the lock-downs with no rationale provided. Lockdowns were specifically noted as inappropriate in those developed protocols and no one questioned the direct contradiction.
Two weeks in the hospital gave me a -10 lbs. No appetite, not much on the menu looked appetizing. Hopefully, I’ll be able to eat better/more now that I’m home.
Good to look out a window and see my own familiar ‘stuff’.
Not sure about Walensky, looks like Walenskies all the way down. The economic people need to learn a lot as well as the other departments Good thing Joe was around to get that boat out of the Suez Canal. Happens every time the Donald lets Barron practice his Driver’s Ed permit.
Glad to hear from you. You had us worried.
That’s ten the hard way!
I’m glad you are back!
Hej Fourscore! Glad you’re back. Eat some meat…
Welcome back man.
Welcome back!
Good to hear you’re doing well (at least well enough to be let go from the hospital).
Happy Easter, 4×20. Also, any other Christians.
Glad to see you online Fourscore. Let me know if there are any chores you need done around your estate. I’ll send Tundra right on up.
Nice.
Good to hear! Hospital food sucks.
That’s not the recommended weight loss method. Fellow your age ought to know that.
Welcome back! Glad you are doing better.
Welcome back, you old bastard.
Yay!! Fourscore!
Welcome back.
Holy shit, 10 days of low sodium, reduced flavor blandness. I glad you survived the fall and I’m surprised you survived the diet!
According to this morning’s weigh-in, I’m down a lb from a week ago. Not bad since this week was when I moved back to Ohio from my Florida snowbird location. Now I have to set up some routines at home so I can achieve all the goals I posted last week.
Mrs N and I got in a 3-mile walk yesterday and another today to check out what’s up in the neighborhood.
Great. Now I want a bag of Starburst jelly beans.
Running in the mornings all week. Diet was good. Low/no carb. Except for today where roasted potatoes will be snarfed. Went bar hopping yesterday with the wife and we covered 6 miles through Lower Queen Anne, Uptown, and Belltown. So booze and exercise are working fine.
Sweet!
I’m glad you are enjoying the new town. Change can be invigorating.
Good to look out a window and see my own familiar ‘stuff’.
Excellent! Welcome home.
It’s not got much
SpamJesus in itWow, blast from the past!
I love you weird people. If I was a
richwealthy man, I’d adopt you all, except for Bro. Him I would make my highly paid chauffeur; for an obvious reason.So he could be your first chauffeur?
Since he sits in the front seat, he’d always arrive first?
Takin’ corners fast and scary, I got a plastic virgin Mary, ridin’ on the dashboard of my car…
Chafed!
I don’t imagine you are getting any exercise today unless you are hunting for Easter eggs.
So far today I’ve done an 8 mile hike alone and another 2 with the dogs. Just sayin’.
No lifting this week as I was in SW Texas. Did a ton of hiking at Big Bend NP and loved every minute of it. My son joined us from CO so that was awesome.
Going to have dinner with my wife’s family today. No ‘vid fear there. My family are Branch Covidians so who the fuck knows what they are doing.
I am damn close to carnivore, so I am never really hungry. My downfall is beer. If I keep that under control, weight control is easy peasy. A big “if”, though.
Stryper? Really? Spotify spit this out. Not exactly an Easter song…
Have a great week Glibfitters! I’m stoked to go back to the ‘speak gym tomorrow!
See above for my take on finding a rock Easter song. Finding a song with Jesus in it is easy. Finding a rock Easter song appears to be a stumper.
I actually got a really good workout this morning having to push the boulder in front if my cave out of the way.
https://mobile.twitter.com/TheBabylonBee/status/1378708942205771777
Happy Easter! I tell myself I workout so I can eat (roughly) what I want. It’s so easy to lie to myself. I do stay away from soda but I have enough pizza and sweets that I don’t lose weight.
Logged two six mile runs, one calisthenics workout and a hike around Pilot Mountain last week. About an hour ago I finished 20 rounds of 3 pull-ups, 5 squats, 5 push-ups, and 5 burpees.
I’ve been challenged by a coworker to complete 1000 burpees and 800 squats by the end of the month. I’m at 150/150 so far.
Let’s pretend it’s a normal day. You aren’t on a diet. You aren’t trying to lose weight. You have hit your goal weight and you are maintaining it. Alternatively, life isn’t perfect and you are just doing your best to avoid putting on the pounds. What is your eating strategy?
Don’t go crazy like I used to.
Weight is 270.4 lbs @ 27.3% bodyfat.
My allergies acted up earlier this week. I was worried I was getting sick, so I didn’t go to the gym for a few days. I never had a fever, so I could have gone, but decided in these crazy times playing it safe would be wise. When I went back, I had a little trouble with leg pain while squatting. The trainer I work with thinks since I didn’t stretch during my period away from the gym, tightness has crept back in and is throwing me off. He watched me squat, and thinks my form looked good, but wondered if there was something subtly off due to increased tightness.
Have you ever tried yoga? It really seems to do the trick.
A long, long time ago I tried yoga.
OT, someone must have once told Shikha “don’t change” and she responded with “never”. You can of course click thru to confirm you knew exactly what was coming.
“If he rolls back former President Trump’s draconian border policies”
OK. So somewhat enforcing laws on the books is draconian. Just like everyone right of Mao is a right wing extremist. Got it.
The Week seems a little too conservative for Shikha. She should go to Salon or Vox. Or at least back to the cocktail swillers at TOS.
I made it two paragraphs in and tapped out.
Let me summarize: National sovereignty of any kind is bad, but BAD ORANGE MAN IS WORSE!
So, in summary of that, if you’ve read one Dalmia article, you’ve read them all.
“if you’ve read one Dalmia article, you’ve read them all”
This is what I find most annoying about her. She’s got different views from me. Fine, that’s great. But how about some original thoughts? What’s the point of reading an article by someone when you know what they’re gonna say before they say it?
This how it goes for me too.
I read the headline, and the article appears in my brain. I start reading, and I’m wrong. Their words are even more effed up than I can imagine. Mentally ill plus evil, that’s who is doing all the writing.
“What’s the point of reading an article by someone when you know what they’re gonna say before they say it?”
IOW, what’s the point of reading any leftist article at all?
GlibFit.

I would like to congratulate 12 and 17 for passing the audition. They move on to the next round of the future Mrs. Chafed contest.
#12 is Jordan Carver. Her instagram page.
I hope you noticed the instagram link under the picture for #17.
Neither of those names mean anything to me. What am I missing?
If you’ve seen their pictures, I’m assuming the correct answer is “Absolutely nothing.”
They haven’t married you and changed their name yet?
Ok, I know this is juvenile, but check out the name this South China Morning Post writer goes by.
Trump’s penis?
Seems like.
That is just his westernized name. His real Chinese name is Tang.

Pay no attention to that oligarch behind the curtain
The unfortunate reality is that we are moving rapidly toward an oligarchic form of society, where a handful of billionaires have enormous wealth and power while working families have been struggling in a way we have not seen since the Great Depression. This situation has been exacerbated by the pandemic.
Preach it, Bernie!
They knew what to do about wealth injustice in 1917. Kill the rich and steal their stuff!
I wonder which one of his houses he wrote that from.
Over the past 40 years there has been a massive transfer of wealth from the middle class and working families to the very wealthiest people in America.
In 1978, the top 0.1% owned about 7% of the nation’s wealth. In 2019, the latest year of data available, they own nearly 20%.
All your pie are belong to us.
Do people really just swallow this nonsense hook, cock and balls? No wealth has been created since 1978. Jeff Bezos climbed in your bedroom window and swiped all your money from under the mattress as you slept.
Very Brave, albeit with a failure to communicate.
We need to make certain that all of our young people, regardless of income, have the right to high quality education – including college. And that means making public colleges and universities tuition free and substantially reducing student debt for working families.
It has worked so well for k-12 “education”.
I guess Bernie has never heard the expression “You get what you pay for.”
He confused it for “The best things in life are free” and “all your base are blong to us.”
Jesus lives on a cliff over Rio.
I was lame last week.
I cooked a bunch of chicken thighs yesterday and have some Barria beef in the pot at the moment. But wtf is going on here.
ASMR?
Mebbe, mebbe not. But now I’m really hungry.
This is awesome! More people should be acting this way.
For those of you wondering, that was yesterday in Calgary, just 300 klicks (180 miles) south of me. The Calgary police have been, um, extra-special-enthusiastic about enforcing lockdown shit since this all started. They’re probably beginning to realize that they’re developing a real PR problem with all of this.
There’s gonna be some blood spilled before all this is over (sadly, it’ll most likely be citizens who are just sick and tired of the endless fearmongering). There’s a lot of simmering anger and resentment amongst the population here.
I had a shitload of donuts in Calgary back in around 1990. Everyone I met said, “Oh, you’re from LA eh? Well let’s go get some donuts, then!” Ever since, I call a dozen donuts a Canadian Thanksgiving.
Not unless there’s turkey jerky and gravy on ’em. What are we, savages ?
shoveling jelly–beans into your mouth does not count as exercise
Of course not. Shoveling gummi bears with vodka chasers is real exercise.
My exercise for the day – I did housecleaning today with Mrs. T. I hate dusting!
Fatbuttᵀᴹ watch says 2300 calories burned before dinner. Meh. Good enough.
This is awesome! More people should be acting this way.
Wow.
For the last three years I’ve logged everything I’ve consumed that has calories. It’s here, but it won’t view nicely on a phone because it’s large and unformatted.
Glib summary: I eat a mostly whole food, entirely plant based diet. I pretty much avoid “sugar” except when I mix it into water during exercise or racing. I put sugar in quotes because I eat a lot of fruit.
Hey!
Hey! Look me up sometime. I’ve sent you email with my cell number. And yes, the food and drink we had at O’Niell’s was logged.
I used to hang out down at O’Niell’s when I lived in Santa Fe. A good friend moved from Santa Fe to ABQ and we made it a point to meet up weekly.
You stormed the capitol in a bison hat didn’t you?
I guess you didn’t fuckin’ get the memo.
So you’re Carmen Miranda?
Days like this I stare up at the cross and wonder how to get my abs like Jesus’s.
Well, considering He’d bled out a lot by that time, I would say “dehydration.” (Don’t laugh — it works for Mr. Universe contestants . . . )
Wine, fish, and bread?
Jesus may not have been an ultramarathoner like deadhead, but those who pound the pavement for many miles have a certain body type.
I’ve lent Racing Weight to many a fellow runner. It’s pretty worthwhile and has helped get rid of a lot of pounds.
FWIW, I didn’t always look like this. I hated running as a kid, but at least I played Ultimate Frisbee, skateboarded and occasionally cross-country skied. By the time I was out of grad school, however, I did none of those and was a bit pudgy. After starting my first company things got even worse (and my undiagnosed sleep apnea was getting the better of me).
He did Pontius Pilates.
Nice. 5 star dad joke right there.
The other punchline is that Jesus was Crossfit.
Do unto others, as many reps as they would do unto you?
Render unto Ceasar, all the fat you’ve melted by exercising?
What would Jesus eat?
Organic food.
That explains his violent end. The horoscopes for us ain’t no good at all. “The powers that be might nail you to a cross and watch you bleed out” sounds eerily similar.
Okay, chafed, I have a passing familiarity with Passover restrictions on food, but this part
has me completely stumped. What could possibly be the problem with freakin’ veggie burgers ???
What has me stumped is why they would be missed?
⬆
Eh, I’ve got several extended family members who like ’em; the only ones that I think are worth a tinker’s damn are the ones made by President’s Choice here in Canada:
https://www.presidentschoice.ca/product/pc-portobello-swiss-burger/20941351_EA
I’ll say it first as a confirmed meat-eater: YUM.
Canada doesn’t have a president.
Yes we do:
https://financialpost.com/news/retail-marketing/galen-weston-named-ceo-of-george-weston-ltd-the-company-led-by-his-father-for-decades#:~:text=Sarah%20Davis%20named%20Loblaw%20president%20amid%20Galen%20Weston%20executive%20shift,-The%20management%20shuffle
And she brings us yummy things to eat.
Does your President bring you yummy things to eat? Huh? HUH???
I thought not. Our President is vastly superior to your President. And she brings us yummy things to eat.
Suck it*, Biden, you inferior President who doesn’t even bring your own people yummy things to eat!
*And by “it,” we mean President Biden’s wife’s finger, which is apparently always at the ready.
Veggie burgers often contain wheat.
That doesn’t mean it’s leavened, though, does it?
I would have guessed the problem was with the hamburger buns.
Good point – the wife being both Jewish and gluten free can confuse things (“are you not eating that because of _this_ or because of _that_?”
I believe the shrimp cocktail is gluten-free.
Some day I want to go to Traif in Brooklyn.
https://traifny.com/
The very concept amuses me.
They are typically made with products prohibited during Passover. Think wheat and oats.

I finally went swimming again this past week. It’s a bit of a trick finding a local Y location where the late afternoon lap lanes haven’t been taken over by swimming lessons or the local high school swim team doing their utmost to create a tsunami, but I found one. Made my reservation for 5:00 to give myself an excuse to leave the office a little early. Didn’t have to share a lane (as sometimes happens,) and in fact, the lane next to me was vacant. Got in my 45 minutes of backstroke in bliss. It was glorious.
In other GlibFit news, I’m pretty sure I made it through the whole week without indulging in PopTarts for breakfast. Baby steps. Haven’t stepped on the scale last couple of days, ’cause I don’t wanna harsh my mellow.
The wind is constant and strong in Aruba, so there’s a ton of kiteboarding.
I could have spent hours watching them.
Highlight was having a cocktail on my hotel balcony, watching the ocean and seeing someone just flying along in a straight line from the kitesurfing school by the high rise hotels right towards a collection of dive boats in front of my hotel.
Clearly, someone overestimated their ability, including their ability to tack.
He finally bailed out before hitting the boats and a boat was dispatched from the school to collect him and the gear.
An entertaining start to the evening.
I thought Somerville locked everyone in their homes for the greater good.
First time on a windsurfer we got some lessons and a lecture: “If you’re approaching the rocks, jump off. If you ding up the daggerboard we will charge you.” Sometime later I was approaching the rocks so I jumped off, not looking at what I was jumping off into.
Six days later, when I was finally out of the bathtub filled with water and vinegar, I went back to have my second lesson. They were out of beginner sailboards, so I took a medium one. Although it was a fairly small upgrade, from my inexperienced viewpoint it was a hotrod. Tack? I have none. Oh, and I had been drinking because it was the Virgin Islands and I was legal there (but not back in the states).
Yeah, they had to rescue me. Was kind of embarrassing but not even on the same level as having sea urchin spines go through one’s hands and feet.
Good times. I hope I entertained any onlookers.
FreedomToons on Joe Biden’s stutter.
Excellent.

Everything is racist these days, including a virus.
I look forward to seeing how this will tie into the vaccination shaming my employer has just started. “You have not been vaccinated??? RACIST!!!”
I’ve had two people shake their heads in wonderment that I turned down the vax. It took a lengthy explanation to convince them I’m not a q-anon nut job.
I refuse to expend the energy to explain.
“If X percentage of the company gets the vax, we’ll lift the mask/distancing protocols.” Oops, CDC/WHO/Mayo Clinic says otherwise; sorry! Proceed on current vector.
Pro tip: I always like social distancing. Stay away from me you diseased f*cks!
J/K, I like hugs. Even from dudes. Sue me, I grew up in Europe.
My main thing is that I have no fear of the ‘vid. Why should I take a drug, which alters my genes, to avoid a disease that probably won’t hurt me anyway? I ain’t taking a vax for cirrhosis, either.
That’s the horror. You won’t give yourself up to the collective? SHAME. Every other day, a different exec is posted getting the vax. Look! He/She is so leaderly. One by one by one; keep the narrative alive. You need the vax, because you will save lives. Don’t want to? You are bad. Fuck right off.
My response is this, protect yourselves assholes. You scared? Stay home. Hide. Crawl under your blankies. Take all three vaccinations. Wrap an actual diaper around your stupid compliant face. Leave me alone!!
It’s a good thing I’ve left the workforce — I’d be fired by now if my employer had started vaxx-shaming me.
