free donuts for a year
Wait, it wasn't just one?! Oh hey government, yeah I seem to have lost the paper that says I got poked, can I have another?

@dangeRuss said in I was reading quora and a question propped up there.:
Seriously though, what does it mean as a verb?
As a verb (usage: “to slag someone off”) it means to bad-mouth them, particularly with them not present to defend themselves.

Don't forget to balance against the risk of death or disablement from the disease. To not balance one against the other is dumb.

I have in fact done so, and it's in fact one of the primary reasons I don't think the vaccine is good enough.

but free donuts
for auntil the end of the year is clearly a bigger gain than the side effects are a loss.

Because all other vaccines are, in fact, sterilizing, or because there's more people dieing to the vaccine than to the disease?

A more detailed explanation probably belongs in the garage. I'll just say here that those aren't the only two options.

True, I mean you can die of diabetes after eating a year's worth of free donuts.

Maybe you can get them to bribe you with broccoli instead?

Well, Safeway has been giving 10% off coupons for groceries (up to $20 for >$200), so... yes?

Not a chance. Peas, cabbage, leeks, sprouts, beans and fennel are all way nicer. (I've had a lot of broccoli over the past 18 months, far more than I ever wanted…)

No thanks, that's worse than beans.

That's weak. ACME is closer to like $20 off $50. Plus free items (almost) every saturday.

The key, I've found, is to make sure you have enough cheese, bacon, onions, etc to go along with it.

Or leave the broccoli out and just have all those other ingredients.

All
brassica
anyway since 2018. Cabbage and broccoli since always, but you don't let a genome that flexible just rest.

TIL - I would tap that.
I like Boston cremes, those filled with chocolate or vanilla filling, glazed, and chocolate glazed.

Now that Zecc had to ruin everything by bringing up the original topic:
Vaccine hesitancy is on a sliding scale. Of the people who aren't vaccinated yet (and who can safely vaccinate), you have people like this:
- Would get vaccinated, but, like, they have too much career/kids/meth going on to find time for it. Or transportation is a problem.
- Hears different things from different people/media, and just puts off the decision until later. (This is pretty common; when you're not sure, you look for more info. Sometimes, you never get around to looking.)
- Icked out by the side effects.
- Likes vaccines in general, but has standards for vaccines, and thinks this one isn't good enough. (Like GuyWhoKilledBear.)
- Thinks that 4G is good enough, thank you, and did you hear that Bill Gates is injecting nano-chemtrails?
For some of those groups, a donut, or a pizza, or whatever, is the difference between "mañana" (in the Mexican sense: "eh, maybe later, maybe never") and "today". Some people are horrifically icked out by the side effects; some would just rather avoid it, but free donuts for a year is clearly a bigger gain than the side effects are a loss.
Good list. I fall into several categories. I did get it, but I wasn't in a rush and the location was 5 blocks from me.
Another category, young people who have extremely low risk of covid.
Wrote much more, but this is not the .

I actually like cauliflower, cabbage, and leeks. Broccoli really depends how it is cooked and I don't mind small raw pieces in salad.

I have some really good recipes for it.

Properly, that's people who are at extremely low risk of the most serious outcomes of covid. Actual evidence is that they catch it at about the rate of everyone else, given differences in vaccination status and behaviour profile. That is an unsurprising result.

I don't generally eat fruit so I stay away from anything like that, though Boston Cremes are good.
Since everyone else on the forum is teeing off on this, Boston Cream donuts are good, but I don't eat them because I hate everything to do with Boston.

Tf? That'd be like not watching tentacle porn because of the treatment of the Ainu. All Irish people may be racist drunks, but that doesn't stop me from putting Irish cream in my cereal in the morning.
Corporations, I even have enough trouble staying mad at.

Fair, at her age I'm far more concerned of a serious outcome with the flu and we get a flu shot every year.
