Some positives may come from you sharing your experience. It may help someone going down a similar path to recognize it in themselves earlier and help them out. Wishing you the best!

They don't know what it means. I have a friend who would boast about how free America is (they are 2nd generation). It's taken over half a decade of me providing information that states otherwise. I think it's finally starting to settle in with them. Sadly, the propaganda runs deep and it can take a long time for someone to break free of thought control.

Not OP but I run a business and handle the majority of interviews and hiring. I set up the beginning of my interviews just like OP does. If someone doesn't have social media, I honestly think it is a bonus. I barely touch my own LinkedIn... I'd also much rather an application come through our website than an ad. I feel like those who apply directly have a better understanding already of what the job will entail. If a candidate makes it through the first few interviews, we invite them out to observe and then participate in the role (to see what they think and how they like it). I can usually tell by then if they will be a good fit. It's been nice because occasionally a candidate will decide right then it's not for them and save us both a lot of time.

While I agree eating healthy and cutting down inflammation is extremely beneficial, your statement seems to be undermining and not contributing in a meaningful manner. I don't think you are doing so in bad faith. I'm guessing you are trying to help but the way it comes off is not being well received because it's general advice that isn't pertinent to the observation OP is making. Again, I think your advice is solid in the general sense but the way it was stated may come off as condescending.

For example, when I was a college athlete I was extremely fit and eating healthy (and yeah, I felt great) but I had an allergic reaction on my epidermis and had to go on a steroid treatment.

Holy moly I felt like a god (just like OP is stating). I would regularly lift and exercise but when I was on the steroid treatment, it was another level of energy and strength. I can understand the OPs surprise and can relate to his observation that he is sharing as it is an interesting experience (especially the first time).

This.

It infuriates me when people just stop on a side road or in a parking lot lane with no indicators.

On a side street (barely two lanes but street parking is allowed) I frequent, people will just slow down and come to a stop without any indicators. I stay behind them and eventually they will roll their window down and wave me by, but they could have just indicated they are pulling off but staying on the road with a blinker...

Just today I was waiting to reverse out of a parking spot and a person just stopped in the lane 10 ft away. I waited for a minute because I wasn't sure what they were doing. They eventually got out and opened the boot of their vehicle and after another minute of that I eventually reversed and pulled away. They should have put on their hazards from the beginning... Very frustrating.

Maybe it's a combination effort? I run pihole but I tell my friends (who aren't 'techy') when best buy has a good deal. Having the 2 forms of suggestion (ads and word of mouth) may give them a boost.

One of those good deals is a 2-year controller coverage (+$10). If a controller gets stick drift (or any other damage including user-inflicted), you can exchange it at no cost if you paid the extra $10. I know stick drift and defects are typically covered under the manufacturer's warranty but that can be a pain. I sent an elite series 2 controller in 5 times and it was never truly fixed.

With best buys paid extended coverage, I've turned in dualsense controller twice now (I'm on my third currently) for a total of $75 USD.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'personal agenda.' I'm legitimately trying to have a productive conversation so please don't take anything said as a personal affront. We're just trying to express the importance of herd immunity as it stands from expert consensus on the subject.

If you have any studies on herd immunity not being as important, I would love to read through them.

I understand why you trust your advisor. I'm lucky enough to be friends with someone who was a professor of infectious disease, has a PhD in virology and created a vaccine. They are my go to for anything on the subject matter. Again, anything you can share on the topic is greatly appreciated.

They shouldn't have made a personal attack like that, but they're not wrong. Herd immunity is needed. Individual vaccination, while helpful, isn't fool proof. Especially for highly infectious diseases like measles.

I try to even clip mine into a bit of a V (but very subtle; ~10°). Had a friend teach me that in college. It feels weird for a day or two but I haven't had ingrown nails since.

As someone who built up a business working 80+ hrs; fuck that guy. 5 years ago I was paying part timers$26/hr and my only full time (salary) - told him 30 hrs/week max. It was my risk/investment, not theirs. I didn't want them to get burned out. Happier employees perform better.

Almost the exact same situation here. I tested it on myself and it's like a TENS unit. It's been a few years and now we really only use the tone button. It was a lifesaver for training though.

Thank you. I took half the time just go straight spoonful of peanut butters. I'm going to check out that cinnamon sugar peanut butter!
