I'm calling shenanigans on considering Tagaloa and Tangaloa two different gods. I admit the choices are probably pretty limited in those areas, but still.
You’re getting tested right?
If that's legal where you are, fair enough.
It'd be straight-up illegal in Belgium at the moment, so, err, don't come here :-P
Not to mix threads, but...You've got a doctor's appointment tomorrow and you intend to go and not get tested?!

To answer THIS one...I'm in republican-controlled Nebraska. Testing? What's that? Masks? Don't tell ME what to do! You think I'm joking? This is our governor.
Gov. Ricketts: Nebraska’s Return to Normal Won’t Be Interrupted by New CDC Guidance
For Immediate Release: 3:40PM CT on July 27, 2021 Media Contacts: Taylor Gage, 402-471-1970 Justin Pinkerman, 402-471-1967 Media Release: Gov. Ricketts: Nebraska’s Return to Normal Won’t Be Interrupted by New CDC Guidance LINCOLN – Today, Governor Pete Ricketts issued a statement following...
Please note that our hospitals are now packed again with Covid patients.
I'm glad I'm not over there.
Our numbers are creeping up again too, and it's very obvious that especially the vaccinated don't feel like going back to any sort of limitations the way they were, but....if people don't alter their behavior, we'll be there sooner than we'd like.
Can't wait for the Epsilon or Lambda or Omega or whatever strain to come along and target the vaccinated again, kill thousands, and have all the anti-vaxxers go "see? Told you it was useless! it's all just about control!" .

My stuff is all sinus stuff. No lung issues, no coughing. More than likely it's allergies or a sinus infection. I use this handy chart to show that it's REALLY unlikely to be Covid.

No fever, no cough, headache and nasal congestion. No loss of smell or taste. Things do taste, but they taste like mucus. So much mucus. I'm not stupid and I've been very safe with myself. Plus, I'll mask up tomorrow anyway so I don't spread anything.
But hey, thanks for the vote of confidence in my ethics/intelligence!
(/s, if you don't know. I'm not upset at all but sometimes when I use that sarcasm people think I'm being serious. Sorry, @PatrThom. He's the one I use it on more than anyone and I think sometimes he thinks I think poorly of him, which I absolutely do not.)
COVID-19 and Sinus Infection
Coronavirus and a sinus infection can have similar symptoms, such as nasal congestion, fever, and cough. Our Cooper experts have put together a guide to help you differentiate the two. If you have flu-like symptoms and think you may have been exposed to COVID-19, please review our instructions...

We both have the same problem, which is the uncanny ability to deliver sarcasm with an absolutely straight face. I don't believe you think poorly of me.

Over here after taking my daily temp, i told them i was spitting green pus, and they said it's probably just a cold, since i had no fever. And i work in a hospital.My stuff is all sinus stuff. No lung issues, no coughing. More than likely it's allergies or a sinus infection. I use this handy chart to show that it's REALLY unlikely to be Covid.

This one is a mixed bag so I'm putting it in random.
I just got done cleaning out my desk. Everything is gone. I've turned in all the things I need to turn in. So the job hunting continues.
One thing that happened was that I ran into my boss's boss, Matt. Now, there's something you need to know about Matt. Matt is a former Air Force guy. He wears it on his sleeve and is not shy about telling people. SUPER conservative, etc. Found out a few years ago that he only did 4 years and then got out. Still, he lords over everyone beneath him and is very loud & crass sometimes. Note that I think he's a very decent dude, but as a boss sometimes he's a bit irascible. He's the one who moved me to HR that started this hell train. He's the one that fired me. Excuse me, "Discontinued my position." Also note that I hold ZERO antipathy for him or anyone else in the organization. It is what it is and there's no reason feeling any ill will towards anyone.
Still, as I was loading my stuff into my truck I looked over and Matt was coming into the building. He did one of those steps where he sees me and hesitates for the briefest of moments, like if I hadn't seen him he'd have tried to duck away. I greeted him like usual, smile on my face. He wouldn't meet my eyes. Finally I told him thanks for the 12 years and I'd miss the place. Then we went our separate ways without so much as a handshake. But it was kind of gratifying watching him squirm.

That’s mostly a chicago thing. At a “true” chicago hot dog place, they will either not offer ketchup, or will only have it as a squeeze bottle for you to put on yourself, as opposed to the other toppings you can order on the hot dog.
I find it a bit silly, but ketchup is gross so I get it.
It's bad and you should feel bad
For hot dog sauces yes, for hot dog toppings I'd say onions is probably more common than at least one of those.
PC Loads of Ketchup is still top ten chip flavours in the world.
Check with some of the SCA folks? Though a lot of them are clergy, so maybe not...
Fries, cheese, pickles and a side of deep fried pickles. I need this in my life right damn now!!!
Fuck it's my ex. She could drink amounts that would kill most people and brush it off like it was nothing.
Yes!!!!!!
I get laughed at on work lunches when I get deep fried pickles. The menu at the pub near the old office was limited for non meat options. It was that or limp salad. I chose well.
