To my Republican friends - higher testing didn’t lead to more covid cases and counting legitimate mail in votes is not fraud

Agreed. As a ~Republican~ it’s frustrating to think this has now become how the rest of the world groups us.

I’m a Republican because of views on trade / fiscal principles, and foreign policy. Not because of trumps rhetoric and how he’s radicalized the Republican Party.

Let’s get rid of trump so the Republican Party can reset and not be known for ridiculous takes.

There is no resetting from MAGA. Trump legacy will live on.

Let’s see how many acknowledge that here. I fear we have lost a lot of folks to MAGA and QAnon.

Actually more testing does lead to more identified cases. For example, the city I’m in had more cases yesterday, but a lower percentage of positive cases than the previous day because there were more tests. Unfortunately, percentage of positive cases is not being reported by the media unless you dig for it. The percentage of positive cases should be the number everyone cares about. Not cases. This will shift if Biden wins and the media will start praising the lower percentage of positive test rates once he is in office.

Also, fraud and/or errors are going to occur. Regardless of political party... that’s why there are procedures in place to recount and examine the vote in close elections.

Let it all play out.

There are millions more unidentified cases that will never be a part of the number of cases as 80% of the cases are asymptomatic, so the key statistic is actually still the percentage of positive cases... not total cases. This is because presumably the people getting tested have symptoms or have a reason to think they were exposed.

No matter who ends up winning, the other half will say “not my president.”

Funny thing is Trump made a lot of inroads with minorities. Put forward a normal candidate in 2024 against Kamala and I think it goes back to red.

It will be nice to get him out, mainly to have people view issues logically now instead of just through orange man bad.

Is anyone on a low dose of Adderall or a similar stimulant, and do you find it helpful/effective?

When I was diagnosed (at 20 yo) I started on Adderall XR and my psychiatrist essentially took a “keep upping the dose until you feel side effects” approach, even though I still saw some benefits at a lower dose. I’m currently unmedicated and am somewhat hesitant to restart, but feel I could see some benefit and better stability with the help of medication.

NYC Freelancers! My Medicaid is ending soon and I need to start making health insurance decisions (lame). My current agency is offering me FT and I’m pretty terrified as I feel like I’m going to sell away my freedom. Their health insurance is pretty good and allows me to put my partner on it. I’m trying to also rationalize paying for my own in NYC but it’s so expensive ($500+/mo). I go to the doctor fairly often. Single NYC freelancers (no kids), what do you pay monthly or yearly? Worth it?

I quit drinking at the first of the year because I was drinking too much as a way to cope with Covid. 99.9% of the time, I’m glad I quit drinking. And then there are those nights when I just want a glass of something to take the edge off, which makes me think alcohol was more of a coping mechanism than I thought and it’s probably a good thing I’m not drinking. I don’t even like wine very much, but I miss that low level buzz that makes everything a little less loud.
