Just wondering … did all of those people who say they want to do their own research on the COVID-19 vaccines *also* do their own research on ibuprofen when it hit the market in 1974? How about statin drugs (1987)? Truvia sweetener (2008)? They’re all approved as safe for humans by the FDA. So if you DIDN’T do research into any of these, why not … and why treat this vaccine any differently?

The vaccines are not sterilizing. They are not perfect. We may have to take boosters. But they are the difference between 700,000 dead and millions dead. If people do not want to take them, don’t. It’s obvious that many people in the US are stridently against them. Maybe they will become opposed to measles, mumps and polio shots and refamiliarize themselves with those diseases. I don’t get it, but apparently many Americans do.

Thanks very much everyone. This post has been enlightening. I can totally see why a unicorn would be so rare. I will surely check out the resources. Thanks.

Stag and Vixen... I stumbled across this phrase the other day while surfing the steamier parts of the 'net. The definitions I found suggest that, while similar to the cuckold/hotwife dynamic, the "stag" is different from the "cuckold" in that cuckold implies a submissive aspect while stag does not. The stag is a dominant or equal partner who enjoys sharing his wife/partner with other men without being diminished by the act. One posting referenced the ancient custom of cuckolded men being forced to wear antlers as a sign of their shame, and described the stag as "reclaiming the horns" which I though was interesting. As the term rather better describes my own personal kink (and also touches on an interesting pagan religious dimension), I was rather excited to find this. I wondered if anyone else had come across this terminology or knew anything more about it?

And saw this on Facebook … couldn’t resist! 😉 People take their kids on a metal tube that goes 500 miles per hour at 36,000 feet without doing their “own research" about who made the plane, who last serviced it, or even reading about the physics of air travel. They just trust that "Big Airline" knows what it’s doing.

“nowhere” …

Swiss Policy Research is a conspiracy theory site that has stated that Qanon is a psyops project of the FBI. Please don’t promote Facebook-level disinformation as factual. It totally undermines what you say. I do not believe one word in that article. The NPR article that you quoted is very supportive of vaccines.

Apparently, this country is unable to unite in a crisis. If we don’t hang together, we’ll hang separately. But apparently, everyone without any medical training has done their own research and it differs from the conclusions of the world’s greatest experts. I prefer to hang out with vaccinated people. I live in a state with a high vaccination rate and a low covid rate. Not a coincidence.

I was at that concert. It was in San Francisco at the Warriors stadium (Chase). Your buddy was correct, for all of San Francisco's restrictions, no one is following them, at least for large venues. Many restaurants are quite strict about masks so you just have to hold a drink to leave it off (or "feel the spirit" I guess). I always laugh when people are standing at the bar ordering a drink...mask required. Sit down at a table and order a drink...no mask required. I missed the study that showed Covid floats 6+ feet off the ground so you're safe sitting without a mask. We're both half vaccinated (was planning a trip to Hawaii and they required it...then the trip was canceled so we didn't bother with the second shot). We both had Covid. So per some studies we're good (one shot with a recovery). Per the politicians we're a danger. Who knows. We won't be asking for vaccine cards as we meet other couples. To each their own.

This statement is somewhat misleading. I live in a state where we are maskless. I haven't worn a mask in months. Yes, there are people who catch Delta but nobody is living in fear of the virus, except the politicians who fear losing the unbelievable power they have grabbed because of it. I have a buddy in California (Sacramento). He went to an Eagles concert last night. 30-40,000 people (?) There were mask requirements and you had to show your "vax card" to get in. The videos my buddy sent from various areas in the venue showed 25% max wearing masks. The "vax card" requirement was a joke as they were handing out fake ones outside the concert. Only the politicians care at this point and they keep the fear campaign going. People are sick of the endless nonsense. In California you had San Francisco Mayor London Breed demanding everyone wear a mask indoors regardless of vaccination status. Listen or get arrested (I know many San Francisco PD, they were given the directive). Yet she got filmed dancing indoors at a club without a mask. Her statement was that "I got up and started dancing because I was feeling the spirit and I wasn’t thinking about a mask. I was thinking about having a good time" (seriously, google it). Ramifications? She quickly changed her indoor mandate for the vaccinated. It is this hypocrisy that people are sick and tired of. As others have said, when you look at the stats, those who are dying have other issues and/or are senior citizens. Children rarely get the virus and basically never die from it yet you have to vaccine them. Why? To protect the vaccinated teacher?? The endless pushing of the vaccine will create an even more divided America. With data showing the vaccine effectiveness wanes over time, will there be a mandate for boosters in perpetuity? At what point do people conclude that we're going to be living with Covid forever?

Small note, but a single woman is a unicorn. A single bi-sexual woman is known as a golden unicorn...much more rare than a mere unicorn. Too bad that there aren't as many unicorns in the L/S as men...or even half as many...on even 1 out of every 100. 😁

I thought I was the only one that does this. Wife gets a kick out of it. I say things like: "honey, did you see this couple, look at all the unfolded laundry on the sofa..."

Male pictures are important for us, we need to confirm his age and see if he is reasonably fit, we are not after dick pictures, we do understand men are proud of their dicks, but we all have genitals and for us, it is more important a full body picture of the couple together than XXX pictures.

I would personally be less then impressed to find out my partner went behind my back to talk to a friend about a possible threesome! That is something we should figure out on or own without outside influence. Put it us in the camp of not playing with friends! Too many things could go sideways and it isn’t as easy to just walk away if it is a friend. Millions of people in the world, it shouldn’t be that hard to find someone else.

Lovefest04, I get the feeling that you are a young and healthy person. Your anti-Western medicine approach works for your age and health condition. Unfortunately, many people are older than you, have pre-existing conditions, are immunocompromised, etc. For those people, the covid vaccine is a life saver. So is monoclonal antibody treatment. If people with an advanced age and or pre-existing conditions followed your lead, there would be millions more dead Americans.
