Got Covid (again) from a holiday party this past weekend…. Many other people at the party also tested positive, and 3 got booster. Be careful out there folks!

Testing positive is not a death sentence, for crying out loud. Stay home for a couple of days and drink plenty of fluids.
What does "be careful" even mean?

Ton of people I know have it right now, we’re all fully vaccinated. It’s just a normal part of life at this point, just stay home and rest.

:( yeah cra cra

The vitriol in opposition to this very low-key recommendation to be careful is incredible. The guy was at a party when he caught it, so he's clearly not recommending that you never leave your house again. He's saying "there's lots of COVID out there -- if you would like to try to avoid COVID, take precautions."

Chill.

The point of being boosted is to kick it’s a$$ rather than roll the dice it might kick yours. It doesnt prevent you from getting it, unfortunately.

I always pay my balance in full each month and have never missed a payment, how is 8% credit utilization determined to be that big of a risk that my score got immediately wrecked, I don’t understand

Hey friends! I hope everybody has had a productive week and had an awesome weekend for those who enjoyed their holiday! This question is specifically for Amazon Web Services in sales.

So I am currently a potential candidate as an AAE. I was told that I would in the future have to prepare a mock deck and deal with objections.

Has anybody had to prepare them and what was the scenario?

Thanks everyone!

So, this is a little awkward, but I recently moved to SD for a fresh start, and honestly, I love this city.

I am overweight and this city is full of active, and attractive people. I guess I am wondering what my experience would be if I got out more? I feel like people look at me when I'm in public because I stand out due to my size.
