Your pointless thoughts & observations

i heard a toilet flush from one of the neighbouring apartments, and the water level of my toilet immediately sank 2 inches while I was peeing into it. Only time I've ever had that particular experience.  also flol.

even crazier when you're watching a CRT tv set and it fucking degausses itself in front of you because theirs is behind the wall, and they've switched it on.

happier times.

A person from our apartment building most probably jumped from their third floor balcony today. I was sitting here on the couch and saw a shadow drop past our window and heard a thud. Went to check from our balcony and saw them crumpled on the ground. Called 112 (911 in the EU) and checked on them: unconscious, unresponsive, severely hurt, but still breathing. EMS arrived within  minutes and took over, I gave them all the info I could give and was let back home. This was not the first time I've seen and responded to this exact situation.

My covid rapid test was negative.  The result I mean.  The experience was positive.  Well, positive may be overselling it.  Fuk u.

Reason I got it was because I was hanging out with someone who was cutting the hair of a woman who tested positive the following day.  It was a total fluke the woman got tested, because she was asymptomatic, with no reason to believe she'd caught it.  But she also happened to be a nurse, and knew she was going to be boarding a plane in a few days.  I imagine it was quite the shock for her.

Are false positives a thing?

Although I’ve tagged the occasional train and defaced the odd streetbench I’ve mostly been more or less indifferent when it comes to graffiti in the public space. But tonight I felt a profound and unexpected appreciation for people willing to go out and practice their art, makes a lot of places seem a bit more human.

Isn't this basically rape? 🤔

BTW, I've been put into what they're calling 'soft quarantine' here on the ship cause I was close contact, besides the fact that I already had it and I'm getting negative swab tests every day... Most fucked up thing about this is that I need to stay locked in my cabin (not a passenger guest cabin with balcony/porthole like previously) and only report to work... 🤦‍♂️ 

Even more stupid is the fact that I need to do this for 10 days and whoever tested positive only need to spend like 5 days, and with access to free internet and passenger cabin... 🤦‍♂️ 

Anyway I'm so edgy that I don't give damn about it and I'm still doing whatever the fuck I want...😎

the hell, this is totally backwards!  What's the reasoning here?

I just tested negative a second time.  My symptoms were: mild congestion day one, sore throat day 2, sore throat plus very brief and mild cough day 3, and now back to sore throat which has subsided for the time being.  While this is all very mild, it is the most persistent cold I've had since masking up became a thing.

Re: the reasoning, incubation time, I guess?

[Zephyr_Nova]

It's like you're being punished for not having symptoms.  I guess I do see the logic though.  Lame.

I had a sore throat throughout all of 2021 and it still comes back every now and then. So it could be other things. Just saying.

Oh yeah, I never actually thought it was Covid.  But I was hanging with someone who'd been hanging with someone who tested positive, so well within the realm of possibility.  I too had a weird recurring throat thing for parts or 20/21.  Very odd.  This one seemed different.

so yesterday Google honoured The Great Gama with a little drawing of him on the logo (the big strong guy).

never heard of him until now, but he is in fact one of the strongest men who ever lived! he was an undefeated wrestling champion, who fought and won over 5000 matches during his career. he is known to have lifted a stone weighing 1,200lb by himself. even his training routine holds a legendary status amongst athletes such as Bruce Lee - a routine involving 5,000 squats and 3,000 pushups, all done as slowly as possible over many hours, and also while holding a 100kg ring.

seriously, this stuff is mind-boggling. i can't find a decent youtube video about Gama but here's a brief documentary from BBC Radio which is worth listening to:

today I was driving in a walmart parking lot (I know, I know). I turn off of the main lane to the row of cars to park, and there's a giant SUV sitting in the lane blocking anyone from driving down it. spots are angled so it's a one way only lane. I get that this person is waiting for another vehicle to exit out, so the SUV can then pull into that spot. but there are like a ton of open spots 4-5 parking spots down. then I see 2 more cars starting to reverse out of their spots closer to me, but the SUV is blocking them in. so now I'm sitting here for more than 30 seconds (everyone knows this is an unacceptable delay) waiting on this SUV to get that one spot, when more are now opening up behind it, and I can't go anywhere until this SUV moves, and the one spot they are waiting on has some lady loading a stroller taking forever, so we're all now doomed to wait on this one person so like a bunch more people can move.

this all makes me start thinking about all the inefficiencies a person has to deal with in their daily life, and why can't things all run smoothly, yadda yadda. then I start thinking about communism (noooo!), and the trains coming on time and all that. there's just no way to make the majority of humans more efficient. that ship has sailed.
