well they can be
sure
He doesn't want his hobby to remain just a hobby, especially if he put so much time into it
there's people who's entire personality is their grind, how much they work
its not like im randomly deciding this one day, this is 20+ years of trial and error
and the overwhelming end-result is "i get nothing from this"
i've talked to a classmate last week about what she's been up to and she's just been talking about work and kinda a similar sentiment arose
Yea but why do you need to get anything from it?
essentially that they don't need hobbies, they'd rather just work more
because having something, anything separate of who i am professionally is fucking important lol
ofc that doesnt really matter if i cant manage that
do you at least enjoy your own work or do you really want others to enjoy it too?
hobby work that is
i usually enjoy it well enough. or did. others, uh
they never have, which sorta makes the whole thing meaningless lol
damn, and you said it was audio related hobby right

and it isnt like i half-assed them, im pretty dang proficient in all of them 🤣
were they all creative expression type things
Just start building gundams or other model kits 
no

only nerds do that
Rude
why would i do that, what's the goal of it
You get something you made with your own hands
collectible with the added task of having to build/repaint it yourself
you get others to call you a nerd
Throw it up on display badabing badaboom
Pondering the models
I can make a lot of things with my hands, model assembly doesnt really fall under that umbrella.

I think a hobby where you can enjoy the process without focusing much on the result is probably the best
But it depends on the person of course
honestly wish i couldve found something like that.
I had a dream that I owned a wolf and she licked my face whole my mouth was open and I spat, when I woke up there was spit on my arm-
don, do u hav alot of gundams?
Only 6 
such a weird dream aa
wolves are cool

anyone wanna buy a 2nd hand cpu
Nice keychain
Ty :)
just trying to survive
Morning
bruh the time has come this year because literally none of this fuckshit is gonna happen
@jovial marsh morning jamie! i saw you and paul's poster
its really cute i took a picture of it
So much for a quiet New Year's Day
what does that mean, another storm?
I won't be getting anything, here in Texas, but I feel bad for people to the east of me
Potential of tornadoes
well that sucks
Dang
Alabama already got some yesterday
they'll survive i'm sure although its cold, i've never seen a cold tornado before
and the Plains (minus Texas) is getting rough winter weather
but i thought texas was always hot
The pink areas are all Winter Storm Warnings
Purple-ish ones are Winter Weather Advisories
oh no, take care everyone
Good start to 2022 for americans
well i'm fine
I'm meanwhile looking out for a smol cat
apparently there's a hurt stray around my street
my mom send me a text with the message from facebook so now im cat rescue I guess 

anyone wanna chill and play pool
pumkin, don, hny!~
Don you're the sussiest one here
hny

Hai fooni
hap year fooner 
gets money on the 1st
money goes into bills
I got no moneys
halp I'm dyingg
oh no pea whats wrong
stop dying!
realistically speaking we're always dying!
realistically speaking you're a nerd
false
are you both tech savvy with windows 10?
depends
First ducks of the year
deadsnow ruined it lol now i have to look at ducks
huh
@sick bloom but anyways, so my windows 10 clock is delayed by 2 minute, and i can't fix it. I retry the time sync thing and it worked for like a minute, but then delays to 2 minute after awhile.

and I think one of my mom's rabbits likes getting his photo taken
you can manually set time
no i did that too, it also delays afterawhile
it de-sync itself for some reason and i don't know the caused of it

i resync it just now, lets see if it works correctly
Happy new year, guys!

well theres a .5 delay
Out of curiosity; are there any good VR games to learn how to drive a car?
No but there are good car games that work in vr
I wonder if beamng would work with vr
not without a proper steering wheel
pea kinda submissive today idk
I'm sure the racing games are great, but looking for something realistic, more on the educational/simulation side of things
too bad you haven't seen me yesterday Gweiss
yeah it's called taking driving lessons
Something in VR would be quite useful
saw a game in early access on Steam
but not sure about it, and only has the British rules
Yea but you're either driving stick, in which case there's no good vr software (and hardware) to get you used to using the clutch
and with an automatic, its not harder than driving a go-cart so just focus on theory
Short answer: No
would be a great way of familiarizing yourself with basics if you don't have access to a car on the regular
basics like?
the layout of the controls, traffic rules etc
thats what the DMV is for
there's not really any part of driving where VR would be better than most common tools
yeah if it's not better, just use the other tools?
every car is different when it comes to layout of controls. well except the wheel and pedals
why cut wood with a knife when you have easy access to an axe?
other tools are not always as easily available
yes they are
and even if it doesn't exist it's neat to think outside of the box and imagine how they could
there are so many resources for learning to drive readily available for free
Yeah it's neat to think outside of the box, but choosing a less efficient solution won't help my guy
unless you suffer from ADHD or something and absolutely need vr to keep yourself focused?
some people do
some people don't have family members with cars they can practice on
or live in crime ridden, high traffic areas were driving slowly is not an option
YT music started throwing anime music at me and some of them are absolutely amazing.
nothing will take the place of irl training
as with most things compared to VR
but VR has very interesting educational potential
Yeah but vr still isn't superior than others tools yet
and this is definitely something that will happen sooner or later
does't have to be superior to have value
And even if there was some magical software to teach you everything you're currently looking for, it won't be cheap
VR is useful for demonstrating stuff, mainly IMO
3D graphing and the like in VR is just plain cool
@fast pelican Of course, nothing beats the real thing. I'm sure that in the future it will be used for more educational/training purposes, but we might not be quite there yet.
we have awhile before vr test drive simulation, although some people already are trying to do that
Agreed, but VR is better than slideshows and the like for it
and the depth perception bit is great too
How's everyone
hi jamie, hello

we're talking about how vr driving isn't a thing yet
Oh?
there are better driving sims that use 180-230 degrees curved projector displays
like Eurotruck simulator?
they are stupidly expensive to buy tho
I like VR driving though 
well yeah i do too, but its not a thing for educational purpose just yet. Only for gaming.
Hiiiiiii.,
hello arte
For learning to drive, yeah. You need to feel the acceleration and inertia. Otherwise it will really throw you off
nono I mean like people play various driving/racing games with special chairs that have actuators to move you around and whatnot and instead of using vr goggles they are using projectors to cast the video feed on a spherical surface around you
@lusty spruce like this one? https://i.imgur.com/Vnil4Vh.gif
Also, VR driving, if you're new to vr, is almost a guarantee of motion sickness
hell even big companies like Mercedes AMG are using projectors rather than vr headsets for their f1 simulators
yeah
Last year, Anthony Davidson got unrestricted access for an in-depth look at our simulator at our home base in Brackley.
🎥: Sky Sports F1
Don't forget to subscribe to our channel to never miss any of our videos! http://bit.ly/12EFRRD
well i know that piloting is a thing for vr
not quite just yet for driving other than gaming
Resolution, fov, and fps are probably their highest concerns
VR bottlenecks all of those currently
Not seeing about Win7 in the news nowadays
and they need to see the wheel and use all the controls on it

why would you want to see anything though
windows 7 is outdated
But by the time PCs go down in price and I get a new PC with Windows 10.. that'll already be on the way out
windows 7 shares less than 13% of the windows os market(data from Nov last year)
only rebels still uses windows 7
Those guys on x games mode
Or that have specific usecases for it.
13% is not a low ammount either. 
So I'll be going from a discontinued OS to an OS with only 3 years left on the market
hell xp is still used by a lot of atms
yeah xp is still being used
That is actually a very specific XP which still is maintaned
isn't self-checkout in stores xp?
There is a ton of different systems
Windows 11 says no to processors from 2017 or so iirc
you only need windows 8 or windows 10
going 8 makes no sense now
windows 8
Fooni please

win 8 is an utter garbage
i'm just saying i would take windows 8 over windows 7
just like vista was
Is it me or can quest users not access anything on quest rn
Windows 10's pretty stable at this point from what I've heard
why? 
7/10 over vista,8,8.1 etc
because windows 8 in performance is better than windows 7, but if i get my hands on windows 10, then yes i will go to windows 10 immediately
I know this really isn't the place for this, but a couple of days ago I made a purchase through fiver for a custom vrchat avatar. This turned out to be a scam, however fiver noticed this and refunded the purchase, problem is when they refunded it, the money went into the fiver wallet and not back into my bank account, which is were the purchase was made. I just need to know if anyone here knows a way to take the money from the fiver wallet, and put it back into the bank account.
1 channel is enough
since when
either way, you should contact fivverr support or something?
Dunno how anyone here could help you with that 
i used to sell on fiverr and it let me transfer wallet funds to my bank
you'll have to switch to selling mode though
its just based on experience, i'm not trying to say that windows 8 marginally better than windows 7.
When IT college professor had us try out Windows 8 years ago, I said nope and stuck with 7
@blissful lodge
How do I do that?
What's more worth: 10 Pro or LTSB/LTSC
but like i said w8 doesn't come free upgrade, unless i remember it wrong. Same with w10. If i get w10 for free, you bet damn well i will prefer that free w10 over w8.
but this is where you usually
you should probably contact support @torn fern
see if there's any way you can
@blissful lodge
It's kind of hard to do that when it's just a bunch of Indians using Google translate.
idk what ltsb or ltsc is, but also don't get windows 10 pro
get home or enterprise
yeah okay, just don't get pro
What's wrong with pro
so you probably didn't know this, but windows 10 comes with keypad code for passwords
and pro forces you to create it even if you don't want to

the other windows 10 types like Home are able to do this, but they have the option to turn the keypad code off and doesn't force you to create it
keypad code?
you use numbers to type in as your password to login
You don't need that on Pro.
havin a good time in vrcht
i tried every way i could find to disable the keypad code thing sadly and its still there
Like pin on your phone for example
oh yes nico there you go, its pin
Yeah, but i don't have anything like that. 
thats weird, cuz i do and if i signout just once, it will force me to make a pin code
Not even see.
It just does the normal wanna use a online or offline account thingy trying to get you to use a online one.
No pin nonsense.
i'm not sure why its doing it to me, but i dug research on it and they said that its a pro thing
I use pro, and i'd never not go pro

Looks like there's ways to get rid of pin
https://superuser.com/questions/1526416/how-do-i-sign-in-with-a-password-instead-of-a-pin
nope like i said, i've already researched enough about it, they forgot to mentioned that windows 10 pro can't do that
it only removes the pin to like nothing, which makes it so the system thinks that "Oh hey you're new here? its better to use a pin"
I dunno but i have never even seen anything like that pin thing 
I just have a normal password like it always has been.
i do too
i dislike pins heavily, thats like password for babies
and i hate it to death, its already annoying as it is on mobile phones

yeah mobile phones have pin code too
No
thats not what i mean
what i mean is, i still don't see the problem
there definitely is ways to just use a normal password and not a pin on 10 Pro
well i can't figure out how to fix it then
@worldly vessel do you use a local account?
oh then that explains it
cuz i am using my dumbass microsoft account
@devout cedar well there you have it, go pro
fuck ms accounts tbh
i use outlook and some of their services but i don't want to connect everything
Most definitely i don't want my windows account and login to be the same as my primary mail account
reason skype went to be a instant nono when that was the requirement
I'm not going to use my primary mail account login for a casual IM
fair
Got me refund,
When I have 10, it'll be local account, as much bloat as I can get rid of, telemetry off
Please do not do callouts of any type on this Discord
@worldly vessel
Sorry, I just get really pissed off with those kind of people.
i get really pissed off with your mother

I'll do a callout.
do a callin
Go get some water, don't let yourself get dehydrated!
There, that's it. Yesterday was rough.
I got a mug of tea by me at all times
Nice to see you again again. I usually have a big bottle of water near me. But my stomach is still upset from yesterday's NYE stuff. Apparently there's things I just can't have now.
you are getting old, old person
I've literally never touched alcohol before new years last year.
So I'm pretty inexperienced and I had gin, had water, mixed it, had food before, nursed it over 5 hours and still got collosally sick. I just wanted to have the same sort of fun all my other friends did and screwed it up pretty bad.
them dick pics juicy
I still had fun and managed to look like a pretty big loser in front of people like Tupper, Noe, and all them. But even then, it was still cool. I enjoyed the new world design but I feel like it could have had more branched paths to squirrel off in and it lacks a certain charm. The nice part is aesthetically it matches the branding that was built.
oh you were in one of them club worlds
The NYE VRCsquare plaza stuff. I spent a good chunk of time with japanese barhoppers, though. They're a wild bunch.
Imagine getting sick from alcohol
I think I'm just too resistent to have any fun with that stuff
My new years was kinda lame but pretty chill
I had very few drinks and didn't really feel anything
I don't think alcohol is necessary to have a good time
I had 4 and I was done
I had 2 smol bottles of cider
I just had a can of monster because my ID expired but even then I don't think it would've added much
Why the fuck new id so expensive
I could've just yolod it and hope they didn't ask but meh not worth the trouble
I once got carded and didn't realize my ID expired. That was fun. Next day, got a new one.
I haven't been asked for ID since I left the uk
Bri ish
It was kinda annoying to be asked for id when you're like 25
Hey, bri'ish people are pretty cool.
If I had my beard I would've been fine but without it I look like a baby
or even 26, i forget
@sharp pawn i had two bags of chips and soda's and hotwings
i'm not bri ish so it's ok
I still don't have snacks
Haven't been asked for id when I was 18 but I was asked for id last year so yeah
Mom made a lot of food, I made the obligatory russian potato salad
Eh fuck it milk expires in 2 days time to make late night cereal
Mostly just had food
noo don
Nobody asks for id in here
Only bigger super market chains asked in the uk
If I was at my mom's place I could've gone to the store and not be asked for my ID because everyone knows me but I ain't 
you could go to any small indian store or whatever and just get anything you want
What, the milks fine
the worst thing that happend once was tho was being asked for id when buying non alcoholic beer
while with my mom too
Lmao
It isn't completely non-alcoholic. It's mostly non-alcoholic. At least here.
Technically yeah but practically it's non alcoholic
It's so low it has no effect type of deal
I was like 25 or 26 and my mom was visiting and she doesn't drink alcohol so we picked up some non alcoholic one and I didn't have my id
well you can't blame them for following their own rules
It was weird
And they didn't want to sell it to my mom either because what if she's buying them for a minor
thats dumb
Pumkin looks like a smol baby confirmed
idk what you peoples look like so
I definitely don't look my age. Maybe if I had longer hair and wore a hoodie
👀
did you had a beard or mustache? usually they don't care if you have beard or being hairy
sometimes they do but i usually shave
rip
only when i'm lazy i don't
thats me all the time
the only time I get shaved is when im at my moms house and my sister is there too
me too but i kinda really don't like facial hair
it gets itchy when it's too long too
and by too long i mean maybe didn't shave in 2 weeks
i can imagine that it gets annoying over time
imagine being able to grow facial hair 
it grows regardless if you want it or not
I can and it sucks.
Polish people are engineered to be femboy
LOL reject humanity go back to monke
it's so small and very light for me
I have no choice I am monke and I embrace monke
I want a proper beard ffs
I am the monke man
time to steal Don genes
i'll trade for femboy genes
so you take peas then
yeah no Don I believe I'm balding a bit
if only swapping genes was easy
technically we have tech that can turn genes on and off
we do?
poor pea
but that's a bit of a ethical nightmare to go through with
Casper?
I'm down for messing with that using myself.
crispr
like the sides of the front part a bit and the top but very very slightly
I have enough wrong with me, run my genetics through the snack machine.
I'm not going to trust some Chinese bull.
considering I have a lot from my moms side, it means I do go grey soon though
also my beard is slightly ginger
i've been balding since i was like 18 so thanks dad

destined to be a bald monke man
There's a procedure for that @sharp pawn
you can always wear a wig
pumkin sponsored by keeps
They take stem cells from your body and make micro injections in your head
And to be on meds for the rest of your life
So no need for meds
I had a friend who instantly went 60-year-old-man bald by the time he hit 16.
Genetics can be cruel.
And it's not that risky ether
Did you know that stress also plays a role in hair decrease?
That's not pattern baldness at least
That's an auto immune disease
Take some CBD my guy @sharp pawn
Here's the thing: It didn't reduce his confidence in the slightest and he has like four kids with different people.
I'm doing fine now
and manscaped
🐒
@lusty spruce You don't want facial hair
I do
It gets itchy after a few days
okay
Why is everyone talking about facial hair?
Getting crumbs in there can be annoying too
My genes gave me hair that grows a lot and gets oily ☹️
@lusty spruce
Why are you so obsessed with growing a beard.
I always wanted one. That's all
@devout cedar we're going back to monke
For what purpose @lusty spruce
just seeing how it feels and looks

Pea trying to not look like a femboy anymore 
You not having facial hair doesn't mean you are a femboy
Him having programming socks does though 
I don't look like one. It's just a joke that's running around

If your comfortable, send I picture of yourself, as a man with the gift graced by God aka autism, I can determine if you would look good with facial hair or not @lusty spruce
no thanks
I would look better with my beard if my moustache decided to fully grow and connect properly


Jamster you are just smol bab 
Nya
@jovial marsh
We're is my head pat🤕
||I bought programming socks
||
femboy chicky
showw 
dms open 

I'm not home yettttttt, next week when I get home I'll do it
Lem is lem
I don't understand him half the time
Time to raid DMs


When nerds go from this:
https://theawesomedaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/nerd15.jpg
To femboys?
uwu
quite sus
I don't program
Lemon, explain yourself
I'm busy time travelling can't rn
uhuh
are you implying you have programming socks without programming 
All you need for programming is a graphic T-shirt and cargo shorts (or sweatpants, if you're WFH).
No comment
hmmmmm, I know enough 
and caffeinated drinks ofc
be a naked programmer

only wear programming socks
I mean... cuz I'll be with lem so he programs while I sock 
aww
According to my YouTube music recap 2021 was depressing as fuck
only 165 minutes?
you must not use spotify alot
I shuffle my stuff instead of listening to the same artist over and over

Joji and Tyler the Creator were my top artists (shocker)
I don't have any recap for my streaming app >~<
Aww damn that sucks
Me neither because I use regular youtube
But I listened to a lot of sewerslvt this year
And a lot of mili
2021 was when I dived into city pop
Random japanese music and some future funk as well
I use deezer so. Not so much features like that 
Tatsuro Yamashita
T-Square
Masayoshi Takanaka
Piper
Toshiki Kadomatsu
Toshinobu Kubota
Tomoko Aran
I said I'm time travelling.
Out of all them, I'd say Yamashita and Kubota were the ones I listened to the most
That said, I don't use Spotify or other music apps

I either use the stock music player on my old (deactivated) Android or Windows Media Player


sussy
what happens if someone not morbidly obeese wears a fedora
are they still an incel?
no that means theyre in the mafia
SHIT
I also have VLC player, but don't use it often
mpc-hc best video player
Could someone possibly gift me the awtter mdel from awtterspace? if so pls dm me

Pika
that would be stealing, as that's a paid model
also, not a VRChat channel
folks are unlikely to randomly spend money on you @jovial marsh
r/ihadastroke moment
bruh
not if your female tho
listed at the top of "you cannot" on the seller page:
- Resell, redistribute, GIVE any awtter related content (even to close persons)
even more bruh moment
yeah but you have to sacrifice your dignity
I mean how dya think I got nitro
Customize and edit the model the way you want for yourself.
• Commission or being commissionned but only with Discord @certified discord members
• Use the model in NeosVR and ChilloutVR
• Use the VseeFace and LIV versions for your content but with credits (DM me)
• Offer an Awboi / Props by using Gumroad's paid gift
everything comes at a price, its just an illusion that its free
so u right
gift, ive go the awdeer model fromm zeeshep
now known as otterpop
that's not listed on the awtter's page
Bro this is the wrong channel, if you want to beg someone to buy you a model at least do it in the right channel
you conning random people on the internet for it or your rich man paying?
very different
Didn't con anyone. Someone asked in gen chat if anyone wanted nitro and I said sure 🤷♀️
oh well thats nice
my nitro for the past 6 months has been from just really nice people
happy new year
Also not even he pays for nitro lmao it's such a waste of money
agree
Damn that's nice
yee I love vrchatters
Give me nitro now.

can't get nitro if you already have nitro 
nitro 2
Gasp
Nitro 2: Electric Boogaloo

Gross
introducing daily nitro
5$, every day
Just nitro boost vrchat discord until you hit $100/month 
im going to tell PR they are going to love that idea
:monkas:
imagine weekly nitro is like 1$
I got nitro for free but I only use it so I can send this to my friend every morning v

Damn some kid got incredibly lucky with my shots going
and the child still had to ram my ship to kill me 

wows hates me 
ha don gettin killed by children 
imagine monthly nitro be like $3 
it was a smaller battleship that somehow got incredibly lucky and managed to bounce all of my guns and instead of waiting for me to go broadside past him he rammed me 
ofcourse I never use my ram flags when I need them
How much is yearly nitro classic for poles
must be super cheap (compared to if you calculate monthly cost up to a year)
$25
bruh that's like $2 a month

yes
I'm moving to the border, and getting a polish bank account
regional pricing go brrr
Today's video is sponsored by NordVPN.
Today's video is sponsored by Lemonias.
so your saying if I move to poland id have like a lot more money value
todays lemon is sponsored by the USS Essex
You could buy more stuff with the money you have, but you earn less I guess
regular nitro for a year is $50
pro life tactic when you get rich: move to poland to abuse regional pricing
I earn less and I can get less than others
life is not cheap here from our pov
so much money for some tiny emotes. 
cirBlech
thats why we use stickers
Stinkers

giant beaver hamster hybrids, love em
Coconut doggies!
Happy New Year
ok i love this one
anyone know a good vr headset, doesnt have to be wireless but around the price £100
None.
any around £200
The cheapest VR headset you're gonna find is >$400 USD.
i was going to get oculus quest 2 but its really expensive
especially since you have to also buy the games
That's the best budget-friendly headset you're gonna find.
that is so cute
Funny
Quebec last night had a 10pm curfew and mass text alert cause of omnicron.
Oof
So at what point do we just let it rip?
Newyears canceled over the sniffles.
I had the sniffles and didnt have to work for 2 weeks
Idk I'm not seeing massive spikes in hospitalization or deaths in the data.
just at home chilling enjoying my new GPU
Can't let a good crisis to go to waste.
Its funny to think that because of THAT virus the world is ending lmao
Im like lightly coughing and the world is like we must collapse civilization
I think at this point it's causing more harm than good.
Everyone's getting this variant.
true I could be just a lucky one
It's not possible to contain something this contagious anyways.
except I've known like 70 ppl that also had the same thing as me
Long covid was scary with the earlier variants.
and noone who has had real problems
Peoples lungs looked like TB victims.
no I work with people 20-60
It was pretty scary during the first couple variants.
But this one ain't really killing people.
Or messing them up.
Idk man I've asked all kinds of ppl and only thing they can mention is "oh yea a friend of a friend knows some 80yo guy who died of covid"
since the start of this
I mean a 2% death rate would be devastating but now it's like 1/20th of that.
In some countries it was initially 5% or even higher in some cases.
Which yeah... is unacceptable
Yeah my case could of been worse if I wasn't vaccinated.
My mother was completely immune.
Pretty ridiculous.
covid denier in chat? im out
neways can yall talk about something a lil less controversial
Yeah the USA is like 50/50 delta/omnicron.
Delta I heard people permanent taste loss
that would suck
That would scare me enough to keep wearing an N95.
I was talking to someone with taste and smell loss last night.
I had the original covid-19 in march 2020 and now just ended quarentine for either delta or omicron and yea this last one was more mild
Pretty sad.
how do you even manage to catch covid
I have absolutely no idea where I got it. Nobody in my bubble got it.
both were just like a little harder flu tho
i wear an n95 and went to school with hundreds of people up until two weeks ago
and havent caught it this whole time
It was likely passed asymptomatically to me.
Cause I have no idea where it came from.
surprisingly not many kids get it or got sick this entire school year in fl where like 10% of people wear masks
idk what the frick is happenin
I mean if you have a weak system any respiratory illness can fk u up, my brother got pneumonia from a flu 5 years ago
I don't think omnicron is sending people to the ER at an unmanageable rate.
i mean, we were all 15-18 so not necessarily kids, but that's shocking regardless
It's the residual delta still going around that is.
does anyone know the exact day when the beta is coming out?
we are already on omicron bro

If you look at the data it shows that the last spike in infections didn't spike ER visits.
idk what that means?
we just gud
It's slowly overtaking.
While it's generally less strongly affecting people in terms of rates that go to ER, way more people do get it so that counters that
jk we are talking about covid varians @mental marlin
im just glad i graduated and dont have to be in public nearly as much anymore
i cant wait to graduate and be done
Yeah I did the math again and it looks like it is sending more than 3x less people to hospital. The 3x comes from the case doubling time.
I'm almost certain this pandemic is ending.
And will burn itself out shortly.
now that i think about it, american schools have never been deadlier, what with the s*icide rates, drug abuse, covid and sh**tings
and dancing on tiktok
the tiktok challenges actually have seriously injured some kids so youre not entirely wrong lol
Check the average death numbers instead of hospital deaths
Also late reply but thanks discord for not loading anything up to after I send my msg

my doctor didnt want to test me for covid even tho I clearly had it
oh youre saying the numbers are HIGHER
and they tested me at work otherwise it would have gone unnoticed
my bad i thought you meant they were being faked or some shit 
that is weird very weird
doc was like you are not literally dying so its just a flu
ew wtf
we only test ppl with breathing issues
where do you live
You mean excess deaths?
No the all deaths
You can compare the above average deaths really easy with the COVID spikes and see how true things are
Yeah Iv been following admission data.
also in Japan they have like 78 cases I think lol
thats clearly fake
the data its all messed up
there is hundreds just in my town
I'll check all of it but the admission data gives us the earliest indicator since it takes about 3 weeks
oh your in Japan?
It seems though people are testing positive and then negative within a 7-8 day window.
no I mean in my small town there is like 500 and in Tokyo they claim to have 78 cases
the greater tokyo area has like 40 million people
The quick google I did shows it's a lot higher then that number. The daily new number is even higher then that
doesnt make sense
So the stages of covid have shrunk by more than half.
yea not in Japan in Tokyo @bronze anchor
maybe by now it escalated
point is if you dont test ppl you cant know
there is all kinds of things like that that make the numbers smaller or bigger
even if you work there
they let ppl out but not back in I think
ahh
Oh extremely dense urban areas are still going to be overwhelmed regardless.
The backlog of non essential procedures alone is insane.
at the moment japan very strict on in and out
Well depending on your particular Healthcare system.
Just check the stuff for just the city.
They claim it's 78 confirmed new cases on the 31th. Not that there are only 78 cases
even then how can they only confirm 78 cases in a city with 40 million ppl
confirmed I suppose means PCR test
Shit testing because holidays
Iv seen enough data on omnicron now that I think it's time to let it go.
My mom got an oxygen machine yesterday. The covid pneumonia in her lungs is causing her to cough her guts out
Heyaaaa
It's why you normally group these numbers in 5 day groups when they fall in the weekends and holidays
It's not even preventable.
because literally everybody has it
All COVID did that
But it's on her for waiting to see a doctor, as harsh as that may sound
Yeah but the frequency is much higher now.
A vaccine isn't an shield you wear for all COVID types and COVID itself
It's a supporter of your own immunity system and a reducer in carrying odds. Not a preventer

Get tested, u are not positive, now walk naked outside and get really cold, you get sick then get a test again and now suddenly you are positive, everybody has it is just that most people dont get symptoms because their body fights it off just like it has happened every year with every strain of flu
It's also why the booster is important and it ups all those odds in your favor again
103℉ fever is not something you just take an ALEVE and sit around.. at least, I don't think so
People just don't get sick enough to bother getting tested anymore.
uhh NOO it never is
thats an obvious red flag
I work in a lot of care homes, and yeah. People get vaccinated, and then throw all precautions out the window. No masks or anything, and it keeps getting outbreaks.
over 101 F imo is worthy of a doctor visit
Yeah hopefully omnicron displaces delta sooner.
The day she had that, stepdad said "do you need to go to doctor?" and her response was 'no, I don't think doctor can do anything'
The problem with letting it 'go free' is that hospitals are gonna get strained super fast even with the easier to handle problems of omnicron. So it's not really an option unless you want to pile people up like on the first wave
Yeah but being poor and homeless is bad for your health too.
there is no "letting it go free" because it is already free, it has always been and nobody can do anything about it
My granddad also told her to see doctor multiple times, and she finally went on Thursday. Results the next day were pnuemonia in both lungs
I think the measures are hurting more people than they are saving at this point.
Her other reason was "how crazy hospitals get about coronavirus"
If you want to argue that most countries should change there measures, yeah, big yeah. But letting it go isn't the answer
trying to contain a flu-like virus is like trying to prevent air from traveling from one country to another
And because of her stubbornness, here we are
Peopl3 are struggling man. Like I'm doing fine but it's getting hard to ignore the homeless camps everywhere.
And drug overdoses.
Like 3000-5000 people a year in my city now.
Your idea on it not being able to stopped is right. But that is not the pointz you want things to slow down so the hospitals and medical field can function and don't go fully into 'another body on the pile' mode
We don't even have space for the bodies.
I wonder how people feel about Biden's statement of "there's no federal solution for COVID, it's up to the states"?
In Vancouver morgs from the drug overdoses.
wasnt 70% enough for it to stop or something
or was that tune forgotten
in my country there is like 90% vaxxed I think
80-85 to reduce it to ignorable state
Tells me that US gov't is giving up
And that only applies of new variants don't keep popping up that keep being worse
You sure they ever had hope for anything they did?
so the whole planet was vaxxed with all that that entails for nothing because it was already known that viruses mutate
Odds of mutations get harshly reduced by just one vaccine jab though
The lower spread and the odds of it mutating into a lesser version increase then
So 1750ish deaths in just my city alone from drug overdoses in 10 months. While over the course of the pandemic 2500 people have died from covid in my entire province.
Well, people were hassling them to find a solution and at some point those "we're gonna beat the virus" promises kept turning up empty
but the drug problem doesnt have a marketing team so nobody cares about those people
Well might be that I got a haalt different vieuw seeing how I'm from the Netherlands
Hello. How was y’all’s New Years? I worked a 12hr last night doing community patrol. Lol
Yeah that's the scary thing, if omnicron infact does cause longer covid we are kind of screwed since we can't really prevent transmission
So I see it as we are screwed either way.
I think one of Biden's last things was "For [the] unvaccinated, we are looking at a winter of severe illness and death — the unvaccinated, for themselves, their families and the hospitals they will soon overwhelm"
Yeah people who have residual symptoms for months.
Some people stay contagious too
Which is even more frightening. What are we gunna do about them?
Cases went up here in my town also, population is 9000 and we already have 200, plus 600 close contacts from the last report.
In still fucking pissed that my sister never got vaccinated and still isn't going
Some people don't have enough immunities to fully fight off the infection so they just stay a carrier.
Until their body looses
So yeah it's pretty messed up and it's a good thing the early more damaging variants have been wiped out.
Well displaced*
Well the immunocompromised are their own category. Even the flu could be deadly and that's with the flu shot too.
I'm thinking this is the limit of a bio weapon. It eventually burns itself out from being more contagious and less deadly.
That is my opinion.
I have no facts whether or not this was one.
It will eventually turn into basically the common cold.
As it adapts to what works best in humans.
I was reading about spillback mutations
I kind of think this is way less likely than it just mutating in different demographics.
But in a spillback situation from an animal it could result in a more lethal mutation.
The backbone of covid is less stable than the common cold rhinovirus or whatever.
So it's likely to be far more contagious and just burn itself out.
Instead of becoming seasonal in that goldilocks zone
its just one of the 200 virus of the flu at this point
Yup …
Yeah but there's a limit on how contagious something can be.
they come hard and get tamed into being "flu"
Once it passes that threshold it burns out.
Well the omnicron I got only took 3 weeks from detection in South Africa to end up in my nose.
That was the result of only a couple months of mutations.
Yeah.
i mean it was in south africa so
Still, every variant pass this point will have to be more contagious and its already reached the limit for burnout potential
So I believe this is ending.
Because when they detected it already was in most countries
S afrika is just one of the few that tests on variants and not just if you got the covid
Can i take there dad then?
Idk maybe some variants might mutates to be the right level of contagious.
sure as long as they are okay with it
Well i want to go karting with him so im sure he is fine with it
oh geez imagine hiv on a contagous level of covid
Its gonna turn into a flue variant
HIV isn't a really good comparison.
something something the black plague and natives in america too
This is a coronavirus
wait HIV is from the black plaque
nono
oh
But the black plague was highly contagious while being super deathly
What the fuck?
Look at SARS variants. Some kill up to 33% of people they infect like the one that circulates in the middle east.
Well those death spiral though
Y'all suddenly talking about the black plague as I was just talking to someone else about plague doctors.
suspect
Yes so you have to look at the behavior of SARS viruses
Its my job to cause glitch in the matrix topics
HIV is another can of worms.
Did so yesterday too with DnD and now with the black plague

Just say your BI and they wont even test your blood (if your giving it) as they just wont accept it at all 😎
That's why you use protection with people you don't know.
Or more simply said
Use protection.
Exactly ^
Unless you want the kid, use protection
As having to take care of a kid feels way worse then any protection ever will
18 year commitment
if only it was 18 years and not more
There have always been STD's but in the old days people didn't live long enough or attribute things to STD's
This is a ridiculus reality.
The first time i saw it on the donation form i was wondering and looked into that.
It's so stupid
HIV was a great marketing tool for condoms.
Eh- It saves them time and gives them a free place to judge on queer people
So its a double win win for them
Yeah it was novel in the 80s or whatever
That's not the only thing you need protect yourself against though XD
Just one that killed famous people.
Again great marketing
You are way more likely to get other incurable but somewhat treatable nasty things.
this is why you lock yourself in your house and never talk to anyone!
Or play VR
That's a great contraceptive.
can you get rid of it if you notice its incubating or whatever during that decade
frick
Idk I'm just not subscribing to the threat of covid anymore.
The only threat to young people really is our future.
If it kills more boomers then tough I guess.
Maybe housing prices will go down.
Well what's the point
It's already more contagious than the common cold.
It's basically natural selection at this point.
I'd probably smash something on the way home if the government ordered me to go home on newyears at 10pm cause of the sniffles.

That's how I feel about what happened last night
what do that number mean
lore?
sussy stuff


i still need gamer milf gf
no

I think line is basically a whatsapp type of thing
ahh
does anyone sometimes have moments where you feel like your head just skips a fraction of a second oftime
yeah
i mean i know what im doing after it happens but it almost feels like i got hit in the head but without the pain and less worse
time just slows
well the closest thing that comes to me with that is when my hearing blacks out, my ear has a ringing sound
Ringing in ears can have causes that aren't due to underlying disease. Examples include exposure to loud sounds, whiplash, head injuries, too much ear wax, or medication side effects.
googl
its the same effect as when you get flashed by a flash grenade in call of duty games, but without the flash
I hope it goes away over time
yes it does
no like not when it hits but in general
If this happens regularely without any specific occurance of something around you that can actually have caused it. (and that does take more then just someone slapping on a desk loudly) then you should visit a doc. 
oh no its not regularly, probably just prone to loud music
