COVID is going around at my workplace. I caught it. You might have caught it too.

How does that work? I feel like I would just end up wanting to vomit. Not that chocolate milk is gross, but it’s a bit heavy for working out.
I could figure out the other words, but not that one. “Select”??? It makes sense from a semantic point of view, but there is no way that it says that. It does not look like that at all!!
Jeez…how do you think your dishwasher feels about that? Monster!!
One of my coworkers without children (I think she is in her early 40s) got strep last year and she was out for a whole week! That shit is no joke! I also don’t hear much about adults getting it (especially when they don’t interact with kids) but I guess it happens! You doing better now?
Omg yes exactly! I’ve not heard this comparison before but it is spot on! Like what was even the point??
Yeah my coworker is going to be seeing at least 2 vulnerable people. I’m sure there could be more out there as well.
Just feels a bit odd and simultaneously wasteful using an extra sick day (we have a limited amount) when I am not even sick. And look, this is totally stupid, but I also don’t want people to think I’m a wimp that needs more time to recover than I actually do. Or I don’t want people to think that I’m lying and using sick days for no reason.
I know those last two are kind of nonsensical, but I can’t help how my brain works lol!! I’m getting cabin fever in here!
I have a slight problem when people say stuff like this.
Yes, I agree that sex shouldn’t at all be the most important thing in a relationship. And at some point many people aren’t able to have sex anymore. And sure, some people aren’t able to have sex to begin with.
But for most people on the planet, sex is a huge (although obviously usually not the only) component of a relationship and a basic need. So when you can’t have sex, it very severely and significantly limits your dating pool. Pretending it doesn’t is very unhelpful and just not realistic…at least not in the modern, Western world. Other cultures might work differently.
Hmmm…but how can we be sure that you aren’t the dog???
Ah well in that case…for me personally, I’m 30 and I’ve never had sex. Since sexual themes are so pervasive in media, sometimes I do feel like I’m missing out. But at the same time, I don’t personally seem to have the ability to feel sexual pleasure, so it is what it is. Some people are also physically disabled in ways that mean they can’t have sex or can’t feel physical pleasure during sex. Sometimes it stinks to feel like such an outlier with the inability to experience something everyone talks about, but it is what it is. There are a lot of other things in this world that are fun and can occupy one’s time.
Thank you! This is actually unfortunately my second time having it. Definitely nowhere near as bad as the first. I took the whole week off out of paranoia of infecting my coworkers, even though I probably don’t need to be out that long. One of them had weekend plans that I don’t want to mess up for them. Mostly I’m bored as fuck but I feel basically better!
It’s also ok to not really like it. Some people just don’t get that much out of it for various reasons and that’s fine too. Most people have an inmate, biological drive to do it, but not everyone does either. If you really are only 14 as some of the comments say, it’s perfectly normal to want it right now and it’s perfectly normal to not want it. Just be safe about it. You don’t need to jump into something right away just because your peers are doing it.
That was me on Friday. Thought I just irritated my throat, but nope. Two days later I tested positive for COVID. >:(
I was only a kid when we still had smoking vs non smoking sections, but I remember how odd I thought it was back then.
The pungent smell of smoke permeated the air throughout the entire restaurant. Usually there was not even a door separating smoking from non smoking. Idk what they were hoping to accomplish.
I am trashy and stereotypical. It’s unironically ranch for me.
I was with most of this until the selective breeding part. Did prehistoric humans have a concept of this? Do we have evidence of that? If so, that sounds rather interesting. I’m just a bit skeptical is all.
What do you mean about the nose feeling funny thing?
I do know what you mean. Idk, I feel like when in a small enough community as it is being on Lemmy. Only so many people will see this anyway. We’re already a fringe group.
Tbh I wish Biden didn’t have to be an option to begin with. But I’ll still vote for him over Trump. Hell, I’d vote for a bag of rocks over Trump. At least the bag of rocks can’t possibly be gunning to become a horrifying dictator.
Oh my fucking God I was so startled and amused that I made dying horse noises. Well done, OP.
This is so stupid but why do I love it??
