Vancouver Off-Topic / Current EventsThe off-topic forum for Vancouver, funnies, non-auto centered discussions, WORK SAFE. While the rules are more relaxed here, there are still rules. Please refer to sticky thread in this forum.
Interestingly enough, they only took the 2 mandated shots so they could travel to their many properties around the world. Even in their 70's now, they still do not take any flu shots or the COVID shots. They do, however, take vitamin D, vitamin b12, and get plenty of exercise.
At the beginning of COVID, mass panic took over and many people lost their minds. Remember the fucking toilet paper hoarding? I literally saw people fighting over the last rolls of TP at the Thrifty Foods in Maple Ridge.
So they did get the covid vaxx.

I don't consider myself a conspiracy person, all you need to do is look at the facts and the truth quickly becomes stranger than fiction. Just follow the money, usually, and you can see the official story about anything is total bullshit.
S2000 is gone a looooooooooong time ago, I've probably had 20 other vehicles since then!

The only person I know that died from Covid was unvaccinated. 50, average build, didn't drink. No one tells him what to do though, so I guess he had the last laugh.

i knew or knew of 2 ppl who died from covid. my employees mother, and my gfs elderly friend. she was also skeptical of vaccines. she was sending my gf some vids of doctors who were desperately warning ppl not to take the vaccine.
seems kinda worse than construction workers taking a few days off cause they are dizzy
No need to drag him thru the mud, never talked about you ever, just figured it out from your posts saying the system favours women and… well… nobody with a kid to take care of has time for all this nonsense.
Philosophical question: Is there ever a time where vaccines should be mandatory?
I feel like the problem with COVID is that it just wasn't grotesque or lethal enough. It had a pretty high survivability rate.
If a disease was spreading like wildfire that killed 25% of people who contracted it, and/or if you did survive you had a good chance you would be horribly disfigured, or disabled or something like that do you think you'd see as much resistance to vaccination for it?
I think if it was truly a death sentence without the vaccine a lot more people would have gotten it. You'll still get the people who won't but when your friends and family start croaking left and right you'll probably start changing your mind pretty quick.
Better yet, something like leprosy permanently fucking up what you look like would probably get more people on board because people care about not looking like a freakshow.
i'm convinced that COVID either made a lot of people crazy or made a lot of people who were suppressed crazy, openly crazy. My prev boss sounds a lot like Jason00S2000...

Wartime maybe? There's a reason militaries vaccinate against absolutely everything.
Polio can hit 15-30% fatality rate in adults and 25-50% of those who got it as a kid can have problems as an adult so that's probably one of the nastiest ones people are trying to get rid of the vaccine for.

I watched the B.C. health dashboard like a hawk, you had much more likely of a chance to die in a car accident than from COVID if you were under 70 years old.
The life expectancy of B.C.'ers is 82... the average age of death from COVID in B.C.? 83.
With or from?
The COVID "vaccine" in one year has more reports on VAERs, the vaccine-injury reporting system, then all years of all other vaccines combined.

Damn. I remember reading your posts here when I was about to go to UBC ( ended up at UofT instead). what ever happened to your porn empire?
Memory lane eh? That road’s got potholes the size of graves, and they're filled with tears, whiskey, and jizz. But fuck it. Buckle up.
The first time I held my daughter in that hospital, this fragile little being with eyes too wise and blue for a newborn, it was like the whole universe grabbed me by the throat and yanked me into place. My blood. My legacy. My responsibility. Shit I never thought I'd have. I’d spent years outrunning consequence, life one big never-ending Indiana Jones moment with the boulder always growling at my back. But in that instant, everything stopped. For the first time, I wasn’t running. I was home. Safe. I belonged. And just like that, selling porn felt like the most empty fucking thing in the world.
A few days later, I sat back down at my computer, the same routine, the same easy money, 10k a month for maybe a few hours of work. But something chewed at me. A deep, stalking-in-the-shadows feeling that the cash itself carried a kind of rot, like it came from a world that fed on something dark. I looked at that kid, my own blood, and the two energies didn’t mix. It was like a warning. Call it intuition, call it some psychic bullshit, or fuck it, maybe it was just guilt, but I knew if I kept living the easy life pushing smut while raising a family, there’d be a price, and I wouldn’t like the bill.
I hung on until her first birthday. Life was fucking incredible. The deepest, most rewarding thing. My mother had chugged antifreeze on the way out when I was 19, and whatever was left of "family" burned with her corpse. But suddenly, I had one. And it was better than any line of coke, any warm spot between some woman's thighs, or any whiskey buzz. I was reborn. But there was still that ulcer in my gut. Porn. The baby’s mother wanted me to crank it up to 20k a month. I didn’t have it in me anymore. I couldn’t. The vibe check clashed like gospel music in a crack house. There was no graceful exit, no clean way out, so one day I just deleted everything.
Yep. Wiped it. Burned the bridges. Then I pulled a full Michael Scott on Facebook and posted: “I declare poverty.” And that was that.
Her family was fucking furious. But I was done with staring at tits, dicks, assholes, and pussies all day. Naturally, this played out about as well as pouring sand into a 2JZ’s oil filler. I got the boot. Ended up at the Island Hotel in Ladysmith. A right proper shithole where I had a half dozen neighbors and not a dozen teeth between all of them together.
Suddenly, I was 17 again. Filling out minimum wage job applications. Driving a teal green automatic Integra. And my soul? My fucking soul loved it. There’s something pure about breaking your back at a shit job for the people you love instead of making soulless cash off strangers and drifting through life on easy mode. Anytime you had a problem, money or a substance could solve it.
And dawg, I worked some absolute SHIT jobs. Ended up managing a pallet yard for a criminal that looked like Super Mario if he overdosed on mushrooms and had pimped out Princess Peach. Learned just how brutal the 9-to-5 grind really is. My coworkers were hardened, beaten down, and treated like disposable garbage. One guy had previously died from an overdose on the job site. I had no clue how bad it was at the bottom for regular people until I was there myself.
The baby’s mom still loved me, even after all the chaos. We broke up. Got back together. Fatherhood stayed amazing, even with me bouncing between Vancouver and the Island. Around this time, I picked up a second gig, caring for disabled seniors. Imagine that. Two years earlier, I was some soulless city asshole peddling fuck videos, and now I was wiping asses and making sure old folks didn’t die alone and without a smile. Drove the fuck out of that old Integra. Then picked up another, this time, a blacktop first-gen 5-speed. An oil leak ate fifth gear, but I loved that four-speed fucker to death. Fell in love with those little four-cylinder bastards. Drove them hard. Totally wanted to put fart cans on them both until some drunk in a Dodge Ram crushed the first gen like Bigfoot outside my shitty apartment.
Then, through sheer luck, my resume found its way to the right people, and I landed back in Vancouver. Got a job at a "prestigious" construction company, where I learned that corporate life was just high school with more pettiness and bigger tits. A zoo of horny women hen-pecking each other while shitting on the workers. Life was office politics and friendly backstabs. I saw things that could fill a book on how witches are real. Workers tossed aside like safety cones that lost their glow.
But on the road leading up to that shitshow, right before I started that job, right before I stepped into that next chapter of my life, I had a moment. A real fucking moment.
I was on my way to pick up my daughter, driving through the middle of nowhere in Maple Ridge. Her mom’s family lived in a castle of a mansion, the kind of place that dripped with original Erté paintings and sculptures, the place thrown together with marble and gold everywhere. The kind of money that warps people. My thoughts and the B18's hum were my only companions.
The roads were empty. Just me, the dark, the trees, and a buzzing growing louder in my head.
And suddenly, the anxiety hit.
Like a ton of fucking bricks. My hands shook on the wheel. My throat closed up. The doubt, the fear, the can I even fucking do this? Who the fuck was I to think I could manage a team of people, some former cokehead? Me, a professional?
And in that moment, in the dead silence of that drive, I did something I hadn’t done in years. I prayed. Out loud. Tears burning down my face.
"Please, God. Give me the strength to do this job well and right. Please, I need this for my kid. I don't believe in myself God, please carry me through this."
And then, no less than thirty seconds later, I turned a corner. There was a car ahead of me.
Just some random fucking car on a country road.
And as I followed it to a stop sign, I saw the license plate.
B LEEVE.
I took a picture. My hands were shaking. My heart hammering against my ribs.
Coincidence? Sure. But I don’t believe in coincidences anymore, maybe you can tell. Not after that. That shit sent a fucking rush through me, like some divine current had just plugged into my chest and flipped a switch, frying my reality like a cattle prod to the balls. That prayer was real. And I got a real fucking answer.
I started that job, and shit was going great. Not perfect, life never is. The baby momma was happy. My kid was a bundle of joy. I loved my shitty Integra, and shit was on the up and up. I had some nice cash flow again too.
And then fucking COVID hit.
But that’s another story...

Any thoughts on Duterte getting arrested on ICC charges for crimes against humanity? I have some idea on the grounds of why he is getting charged, but I wouldn't consider myself to know enough to say I come up with an informed opinion on the issue.
The only thing I can think of is -- Netanyahu has an ICC charge on him as well, and has done far worst than what Duterte has been alleged to have done. Obviously, he is still sitting nice and comfy in his office and flying back and forth between US and Israel.

LA Chicken ... please tell me it's still good stuff ...
Going to be in Richmond tomorrow, am planning to pick up a large order of chicken for dinner (spicy, for the win) ... i've heard some recent rumblings that the owner/proprietor have had some health issues and it's affected their product to some degree.
Say it ain't so ... anyone been there recently?
Thanks for the heads up.
Additionally, has anyone tried Shawn's Fried Chicken yet? I've seen some reviews and i'm thinking of trying it out

If his opposition gets power, he'll have his day
Does he have opposition?
I'm not super educated on Duterte, but from what I hear, he was very, very bad. Up to 6000 people killed.
I expect Trump to join the group as well, eventually. He is just getting started.
