  • The experience varies every case between the person, the vaccines, the variant, underlying issues, etc. Two holidays in a row, my family got it. In Jan 2021, our first experience and before any of us had vaccines, whatever we got knocked me out for 7 days but gave my dad a cold for 3 days. Jan 2022, round 2 but after a mix of vaccines, I got a tickle in my throat for a few days but it knocked my dad on his ass for a week.

    What was last holiday season’s variant, razor throat? There’s multiple variables. We may be improving our immune responses over time as a whole, but logically, the reason we’re hearing about variants spreading fast is because they’ve varied into something more successful. That includes, typically, something that improves its rate of spread. Don’t rule out spread caused by trying to care for the immensely sick.




  • Have some alcohol, don’t look directly at the ceiling. But I think I was still stuck in this uncanny feeling where the sky was a bright blue (midday color) but the lighting level was sunset without the orange hue. So I guess it felt fake to me regardless as I begrudge the casino industry and their bullshittery aesthetic.


  • I’ve been there. I don’t gamble, yet it was fun. I don’t think I’d go again, but a vacation is a vacation and the price could be right.

    The big draw to me and, subconsciously, I’d bet most people, is that it’s walkable. You can arrive by plane, taxi to the hotel, and not need a car until you leave for the airport. I walked 7 miles on the day I went around the different casinos to see the “architecture”, including the one you’ve pictured, without ever really exiting an entertainment area. Other days were under 3 miles. One day, I saw a comedy show, a magic show, and an EDM set (concert?) and walked to each. Plenty of places to eat and drink, easy enough to find something between your hotel and destination to break the walk in half. Prices matched what I’ve seen in major cities.

    So why wouldn’t I go again? Because I live by a major city already. With a little extra walking to get through residential blocks, I can get about the same experience. Travel to the city is the hangup, as it likely means a car for 90% of the area. If everyone is getting inebriated, that’s obviously an issue for the return drive. So, sure, Vegas is cool in that everyone can imbibe and no one has to take the brunt of the responsibility. It certainly has a particular flavor to it’s shows in both style/genre and quality, being it’s a world-renowned city.

    But I would get baja blasted in the Taco Bell bar again.

    Do you have proof it’s not an established god? Do you have proof that any of the current representations are accurate or inaccurate to the original god being referenced? Saying it can’t be an established god is as much of a commitment of faith as saying it is a specific god.
