My parents don’t understand why I believe this actually, they’re pretty smart and went to selective institutions. I, on the other hand, am an example of generational decline with n…

I generally think advice from .001% fringe elites is less than useless, it’s actively harmful. People like you are completely detached from reality and most of you have nothing but…

Yes, because I’ve gotten vaccinated and I shouldn’t be continued to be punished with restrictions.

I’m referring to masks. Mandating vaccines is fine and good.

It’s perfectly fine for that to be ones risk tolerance and to take mitigation steps. It’s not to mandate them by government fiat.

It’s probably because they’re our people. It’s normal to most acknowledge our own victims.

Fair, 2001 was a pivot point for Apple's history too.

> I was at work at Apple in IL2 (Building 2 of the Infinite Loop campus.) You were at work at 6-7AM?

Masks help prevent the flu as well, for the record. Given quarantine policies for exposures the easiest way to keep kids in schools is to make sure the adults around them are vacci…

Yeah, we're already seeing what does make the difference - vaccines . Thank god we have a President with the balls to mandate them now.

They've experienced greater psychological harm by having their parents and grandparents get COVID. Basically the only place masks are a good idea is where the captive audience can'…

I feel like Reddit drama is a few pegs less important than actual abortion bounties being ostensibly legal by a 5-4 SCOTUS decision in Texas?

There are a surprising number of nurses that are unvaccinated (much more than Doctors, of which very few are unvaccinated).

I worked hard, did well in high school, did everything right. Yet I had no shot at getting into any top schools or achieving anything close to what even the least accomplished top …

Bringing up top schools is implicitly describing people like me, Amazon employees that went to state schools, as failures. It's completely divorced from reality.

> normal people aren't often given the opportunity to go to these schools even if they deserve it" I personally believe, as a peon, that nobody deserves to go to a top school becau…

Man, if only they were willing to pay for a masters for me... but I guess I don't matter.

This is correct, people from middle and upper middle class families can't get in that did well in high school and college. What sort of bubble is made up of only people that went t…

You know Harvard admits like 2k students per year right? Of which most are children of professors, upper middle class dream hoarders and maybe a handful of foreign and domestic not…

Nobody who's working as a front line employee at Amazon will get into Harvard tier schools so this is an irrelevant point anyway.

> Are you suggesting that vaccination alone is sufficient and that normal people should ignore additional simple steps they can take to reduce their risk Yes
