Doctor called, said I have acute covid symptoms. Right now it's my stomach and ass hurting more. No appetite, stomach constantly churning. Explosive diarrhoea.

I wish you all the best and a speedy recovery.  Also, please don't cough into the microphone of your tablet/phone/laptop/whatever it is you use to peruse this site.  There's still a lot we don't know about the virus and I'd rather be safe than sorry.

Oh man that really sucks. Hopefully it can get taken care of now and wishing you a speedy recovery.

It's as simple as that, no one is forcing you to share stuff, if you have stupid opinions keep them to yourself! I have zero sympathy for her. She was also a bad actress so not much was lost.

So how would one know if ones opinion is stupid or not?

Plenty of ways to find out outside of social media.

That being said, sacking people for their opinions on social media is inherently stupider than the stupid opinions people post on social media that result in their sacking.

This matters not because of actors being fired (it's great PR for them!), but because people who aren't in a position to make a career out of "censorship" grifting also get fired for opinions on social media.

Pedro Pascal has been cast as Joel in the last of us series for HBO. This guy is freaking killing it. Game of Thrones, Narcos, The Mandalorian and now this? God damn. Kind of cool to see a guy whose career doesn't start flourishing until he's in his 40s.

Depends on what you mean by social media.

By many definitions, you and I are currently engaging in an interaction outside of social media. Here is an opinion I am sharing with you outside of the social media, and you can let me know if it's stupid or not (if you are so inclined): Aristotle was an idiot.

Did you know that people even interact outside of the internet, and can share opinions and feedback on said opinions with one another irl in a variety of different ways?

Now, social feedback of course isn't necessarily a good test of the stupidity of one's opinion. How to judge what is and what is not stupid has troubled humanity for millenia, and there are a variety of methods to which people have turned, but these days the scientific method is pretty popular; as is Greek logic, but see above.

Bowser's Fury is a lot of fun. I'm glad I stayed away from the reviews and videos of it.

Heart rate is better, down from 100 at rest to 80ish. Oxygen levels good. Chest not as tight. Coughing still bad feels like I'm choking. Now cant poo and up all night as stomach ravaged by medication. Can have nauseous, dizzy spells where I can't walk straight. Don't know what to do. The new antibiotics are probably responsible for alleviating some symptoms while making others worse.

Yeah antibiotics can have really bad side effects. Like being super nauseous constantly and throwing up. It seams that Covid combined with the anti biotics is doing a number on you! Hang in there GG, your immune system will prevail!

How as in, how to determine if one's opinion is stupid, not how to communicate outside of social media.

Even with the scientific method you have peer reviews. And you would want strangers to do that, because your friends may have biases.

But even scientific method will not save you from the internet mob. Simple saying that obesity is not healthy will somehow be controversial on the internetz. It seems completely arbitrary what is stupid or not.

Well in Gina case I would tweak Vader's advice and say keep all your opinions to yourself. Or better yet get rid of social media. Opinions are bad for business.

But for society at large keep speaking up. Be critical of everything and say stupid shit. At the very least I would provide some entertainment

I can't 😭 the hospital called and told me to keep with the new antibiotics. But I took another one and I'm in tears, stomach cramps and vomiting into a bag. Fuck it I'd rather die.
