    AstraZeneca side effects

    I never took the vaccine. Frankly I found the argument "we need people to take the vaccine even if you have had the virus because we don't know how long the natural immunity lasts" to be laughably weak, given we didn't know how long vaccine immunity lasted either. So I held off on it, figuring...

    Which music genres are you not a fan of?

    Metal vocals are often raspy and shouted, particularly with the more extreme styles. I'd be interested to know what you think about the tunes when the distortion is removed, like here

    The False White Gospel

    Yes, because if a Muslim blows up a building we're endlessly reminded that not all Muslims blow up buildings, but if a Christian pickets a funeral waving a sign saying nasty things we're endlessly reminded that all Christians are bigots.

    Seafood Pizza

    I haven't but a Jewish friend of mine has often ordered pizza with mushrooms and anchovies when I've met with him.

    Skipping Church

    Some of them are valid enough, and some of them seem to be little more than "I heard some guy at the pub say that churches are (whatever) and so I won't go to church". If you have to work on Sundays you can't go to church on Sundays. Whatever people say about going to church, if you don't work...

    Signing the back of your credit card

    I always sign them. It takes a moment and lasts for years. If you don't sign the card and someone steals it they can sign it themselves and make it easier for themselves to pass off as you. Most places don't ask for signatures and even if they do ask they don't check. I just don't see why you...

    The False White Gospel

    Seems like a great way to turn a spiritual message into a secular message backed by some kind of appeal to authority. Scripture does tell us to look after the poor and the immigrant. It also recognises private property rights and talks of individual charity rather than central welfare systems...

    Would you keep a snake as a pet?

    I had a pet snake for nearly 20 years. I got her as a hatchling and kept her until she developed a heart condition common to snakes and the vet said the best thing to do was to put her out of her misery. Because of the way snake anatomy is laid out in a long line an enlarged heart prevents a...

    Removing the bedding

    I'll either leave the room presentable or strip the bed. I ask the host what they would prefer, there's no sense stripping the bed and leaving a pile of sheets if they're not planning house guests for a while and weren't planning on washing the sheets until they've cleared a backlog of other...

    USA Those RADICAL, EXTREMIST Republicans!!!

    "Dad, can I have a beer?" "No son, you're only 8 and you're not old enough to drink alcohol" "Dad, can I have a cigarette?" "No son, you're only 8 and you're not old enough to smoke" "Dad, can I drive the car?" "No son, you're not old enough to drive" "Dad, can I get married?" "No son...

    USA Those RADICAL, EXTREMIST Republicans!!!

    Curiously that well known hotbed of hardcore conservative philosophy, Sweden, has been moving to restrict if not outright ban gender medicine for minors. The recent Cass report in the UK (currently under a Conservative government but still generally further to the left politically then the US)...

    USA Title IX

    Sooner or later it was inevitable. When we had the idea of "sanctuary cities" where blue cities refused to enforce Republican-backed immigration laws it was clear it was only a matter of time before red cities or red states would refuse to enforce Democrat-backed laws of some other nature. My...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    It's been a long time since I used German in any meaningful sense. If I recall correctly the verb shifts to the end when it's a secondary verb - in your example the swimming is the primary verb - "going" is almost redundant because "would you like to swim with me today" and "would you like to go...

    Forgotten where you parked your car

    Only once, many years ago, when I drove to a motor racing event where parking was little more than a collection of fields. I parked next to a hedge and went to enjoy the event. When I came out I couldn't find my car. As time went on it became progressively easier to find my car, because there...

    Must Haves on a Church's Website?

    I'm curious to know what it is you find unacceptable about the clown, and whether it's a universal "clown bad" belief or something more nuanced. To be clear, it's about looking to understand where you are coming from rather than trying to say you are wrong - as you said further up it's something...

    Small town diners

    Depending on what counts as a diner, most times we eat out. I don't go to chains, and honestly couldn't tell you the last time I went to a fast food chain. I think I had Burger King sometime around 2021 to break up a long journey. I haven't had Arby's since before the pandemic and honestly...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    Today's suggested workout was 65 minutes and today I decided to just run the time rather than stop and walk when my pulse went a little high. So aside from a "comfort stop" as I passed by my church I ran the entire time. It was the first time I'd run consistently rather than pausing when my...
