Well, I also read that side effects for the COVID vaccine get fewer as you get older (according to a report I found, "younger adults generally mount a stronger immune reaction to vaccines in general". Because my Dad didn't have any side effects, so he was concerned it meant it hadn't worked, so I looked it up.

No record of side effects after vaccination, but research coming out of Israel suggests Pfizer (which I'm guessing you had) is 85% effective after one dose at stopping symptomatic COVID (between 15 and 28 days). So, that looks hopeful.

Pretty sure that's how I remember it.

Mrs mermania didn't have any side effects to her second shot, I did gleefully bring her a similar article.

Especially since I had mild ones. :)

They're making a Space Jam sequel - which I've never seen the first one and probably won't see the sequel - and there seem to be a sizable number of people upset the cartoon bunny girl isn't sexy anymore.

Ever been on Twitter, it's a cesspool for anybody to post any shitty idea they want on there. I've carefully curated my Twitter experience to be part of the crowd of people who find the shitty takes and make fun of them.

If they are making a crime against nature like that they are all going to hell anyway. Doesn't matter what the rabbit looks like.

The easy exploitation of the previous movie and Michael Jordan. Its corporate movies as a business decision, not film as art. Its something different, yet exactly the same. The only good thing about it is it keeps the electricians and set builders employed for a year.

Jumped bail and landed up in jail
Life has often tried to stretch me
But the rope always was slack
And now that I've a pile
I'll go down to the Chelsea
I'll walk in on my feet
But I'll leave there on my back

Because I am going, I am going
Any which way the wind may be blowing
I am going, I am going

I heard Michael Jordan turned down the role, presumably because he's thinking the same things I'm thinking: bad idea. They've got LeBron James this time.

Space is long and dark and empty, quite a ways ‘tween friend and friend
And you never know nobody when your journey’s at an end
So the place you’re gonna find me, ‘tween the times I have to roam
Is in the bar around the corner where they make you feel at home.

Belly up to the bar, friend, have another round!
It’s long, cold, and lonely ‘tween the times we hit the ground
One day I’m gonna settle down, nevermore to roam
But for now the bar’s the spacer’s home so far away from home.

Pain is unavoidable. Suffering is an integral part of existing. Most consider this to be a rather bleak perspective, but some think of it as an opportunity.

Now that's different. Many sportive activities are about pushing yourself further while probably getting damaged in the process. You know the risk, yet this does not stop you. Perhaps you even desire it.

Pain releases cortisol and ... uh, other hormones I forget. People typically feel good and sleep well after a lot of exercise. It's fair to describe pain and exhaustion as addictive!
