You guys rlly don't realise how much knowledge is still not committed to the internet. I find books all the time with stuff that is impossible to find through a search engine- most people do not put their magnum opus research online for free and the more niche a skill is the less likely you are to have people who will leak those books online. (Nevermind all the books written prior to the internet that have knowledge that is not considered "relevant" enough to digitise).
Whenever people say that we r growing up with all the world's knowledge at our fingertips...it's not necessarily true. Is the amount of knowledge online potentially infinite? Yes. Is it all knowledge? No. You will be surprised at the niche things you can discover at a local archive or library.

ever since COVID I was in hiding;
Strange Boy: Since when are you in hiding?
The Blogger: Ever since the COVID days, I don't involve myself in large crowded events... except for when I go to church with my mother.
Strange Boy: What's the one large crowded event you would actually consider going to?
The Blogger: Seeing my Cubbies play a ball game at Wrigley Field, with Shōta Imanaga as the starting pitcher for the day.
Strange Boy: You and the Cubs.... what else is new?
The Blogger: Still being pursued by the troll -_-
Strange Boy: All because a little bird tells you what they're saying?
The Blogger: YEAH!
Strange Boy: *sighs*

I have nothing but bad news for y'all
We were supposed to have until April to leave comments, but the cdc has officially ended the 5 day isolation period as of today, March 1st, 2024.
They're saying as long as it's been 24hrs and your symptoms are improving, you're good.
Nothing about covid has changed. Medical professionals are obviously slamming this decision. All this does is make it even more difficult to avoid long covid, because now workers will have to fight for sick days and time off they already barely have just to fucking heal from an organ damaging virus.
Idk what to say for this one.

If you have covid symptoms and are testing negative for everything, do not be so confident that what you have is just a cold. Unless you have multiple negative PCR results or confirmation it is something else theres still a pretty good chance its covid, considering the false negative rate on those (their accuracy peaks at 80% and is as low as 0% first day of infection).
If you are sick with anything cold symptom-y at all right now, stay home if you can and please mask up with a well-fitting n95 if you absolutely need to go out. Consider wearing a mask again right now even if you aren't having covid symptoms, to protect yourself and to protect others from asymptomatic transmission, considering we are in the second biggest surge of the pandemic.

wilson saying “I need to do this. for you.” is fucking insane actually. in the same episode where house is deciding whether or not he should commit suicide as a result of wilson’s dying. They are each other’s lines between life and death. humans have a biological instinct to preserve their survival at all costs; house has an addiction that governs his life. but they were willing to forgo all of it for one another, because they couldn’t fathom it being any other way. IM SICK
