Who here still wears a mask?

I still wear a mask but its the fact that others don't think logically about this stuff still that has me most up in arms. Dad has been sick since weekend, mom says I'm going to come over to your house to see her grandkids. Mom comes over and 4 hours later they call me to tell me they both have covid and tested positive. Mom tells me that dad had been sick since weekend....in my head im fuming.

fingers crossed. Just hoping since she wasn't sick, that our 1 hour visit will spare my fam somehow.

YSK: how to painlessly migrate you and us from reddit

Thank you for this, one part I'm still struggling with and would appreciate help...

How do I subscribe to a community that is on another instance and have it show up on my account? Example - I have an account here at lemmy.world, but there's https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/piracy community and I'd love to see their posts in one place on my lemmy.world account. How do I do this? If I navigate to that link, it asks me to create a lemmy.dbzer0 account to subscribe so i dont think i'm following the correct pathway

eta - nevermind i figured it out. going to leave my comment here for others though

so what you have to do is search for that community on your own instance and then select it and subscribe that way. Can't follow the link directly to the instance, but rather have to search using lemmy.world's search and follow the link from there. So for instance: https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]

(if there's a more straightforward way, i'd still appreciate tips)

[Woj] ESPN Sources: The Washington Wizards are finalizing a deal to send Chris Paul to the Golden State Warriors for a package that includes Jordan Poole and future draft assets.

hahaha so many fans of every fanbase have

on a diff note - how do you see the lineups panning out? I just dont think he compliments Curry defensively at all, and offensively, dont know that him & dray both out there together trying to both be mid-range merchants is worth it. Is CP3 exclusively a 2nd unit player then? Basketball wise i dont really like this move

Mike Lindell Selling Off MyPillow Equipment: They ‘Did Cancel Culture On Us’

Reply in thread

Man, I wish I could say the same about medical device professionals. I left this job but I was a sr engineer under a manager who has been working in med devices for 30+ years.

Back when the whole hydroxychloroquine thing was being spouted by Trump, manager who has TONS of experience about why the FDA does testing and safety testing in medicine, would regularly tell us that we should demand our doctors give us hydroxychloroquine and we should take it along with multiple vitamin D pills a day, etc. he would tell us how he’d NEVER been sick despite us all knowing he was the type who came in constantly with a cough/sneeze fit.

He also had a bunch of idiotic takes on the 2016 election (I escaped before getting to hear his 2020 versions).

He was a shitty manager but the FDA thing was the one area where I was like “damn you’re even idiotic in our area of expertise”. He wasn’t the only one there who was a MAGA dope either unfortunately

Napoli have put a whopping €180m valuation on Victor Osimhen, eyed by Chelsea, Man Utd, Bayern and PSG. [Ekrem Konur]

maybe they dont want to sell him at all and he himself hasn't expressed a desire to move on

Think from their perspective - Osimhen led the club to their first Serie A title since 1990 and led them further in the Champions League than ever before. What's the price tag for that type of club success? Selling him for 100m gets you like 2, maybe 3 solid players but you're still likely short of his goal production.

As an example- Jack Grealish and Villa. They bought Ings, Bailey, and Buendia with the 100mil and none of those 3 have been worth a damn really and Ings was already sold off at a loss. Recruitment is hard and when you have a bonafide star and he's not actively asking to be transferred, put whatever damn price he's actually worth to you on his head versus what all the big clubs want to actually pay. There's zero obligation that you HAVE to sell to bigger clubs.

fwiw though - i saw their new contract they're offering him has a 160mil release clause, not 180
