^ but how many cases are not reported? 🤔 theres this old customer who got the jj vacine about a month ago. shes like in her 70s and she has some health problems before but it was only recently that she was diagnosed with arthritis and is taking blood thinner medications due to her heart condition. she also needs her lungs checked out but her appointment is not until end of june and she said hospital is keep pushing back the date for some reason. i asked her today if she thinks its bc of jj, and she said she just doesnt know if its related or not. thats some serious coincidence if not.

idk it is said 26 countries have travel banned on india, i guess some countries have higher percentage of taking vaccinations than the US but it might be because there could be covid variants that they are afraid of. so even with vaccines, theres no guarantee that they are safe either. and one of customers tested positive for covid like a week after getting a vaccine. he was sick for two weeks..all the ppl he worked with got it, but he still worked and he still came into the store to buy stuff and his face was red and sweating like crazy. i had many customers who were like that showing similar symptoms, some didnt even wore a mask and telling me his or her family members are too young to shop so has no choice. i didnt care though, i had so many customers sneeze and cough at my direction even before texas mandatory mask order had been lifted like months ago so i just let them shop regardless.

some are excited johnson&johnson is releasing a one time shot vaccine but i remember they were being sued for their baby powder that was causing cancer. it was done quitely in the news but there was another person who died after taking the vaccine. 

i knew its going to have problems. recalled it, banned it, and now reissuing it..a couple years down the road, itll become just like that cancer causing baby powder..who knows O_o

it is my understanding that right now you cant get on an airplane without getting vaccinated. some countries still have that 2 weeks or whatever quaranteen rules they use to have intact. and the US has issued a travel ban on India but thats just pointless if vaccines suppose to work as it advertises. anyway since my brother moved to other state, i kinda thought about getting one so i can travel, or just get a fake vaccine receipt like everybody else lol..but if i wait several more years, this stupid virus or paranoia whatever you want to call it will probably pass and i dont want to get something thatll make me sick to begin with. if it drags on any longer than that, then idk what anyone else can do. 

oh man..such a shame. her beautiful face..  just age gracefully ppl. all my celeb favs like uma thurman and courteney cox, now they are hardly recognizable

my brother’s wife got a second vaccine today and its worse than first. she works at a medical company so i dont know if she had a choice. her arms are in pain and with high fever. her coworkers get different symtoms like tiredness, slept all day, or have really bad headache. some are excited johnson&johnson is releasing a one time shot vaccine but i remember they were being sued for their baby powder that was causing cancer. it was done quitely in the news but there was another person who died after taking the vaccine. i really hope it doesnt become mandatory, some countries are now considering travel ban on those who dont take the shot. and it seems like we’ll get $1400 before March. we have masks mandate for almost a year now and vaccines becoming more available but thats not good enough. im sure this covid flu will mutate and become immune to vaccine too and have more reason to control ppl

sad..dispute over snow shoveling leaves 3 ppl dead. dumbass couple provoked and dared their neighbor to shoot them. he shouldnt have committed suicide after killing them.. he might had a case that those assholes were harrassing and threatened to hurt him 

lol i only use two. main one 55" for pc use and ps4 games only, second one 43" for tv shows and movies. i unplugged samsung 32" due to conflicting remote controller issue but i had used it to play switch and ps2 games before since samsung 55" only have 2 hdmi ports. which model do you have btw? my 55" is series 6 and the reason i got it cheap was bestbuy employee told me that it was a last year's model (then) so it was on sale. havent noticed any sound issue and works great so far. only wierd thing is it wont play hd on my pc amazon prime due to hdcp error, but if i log in to tv amazon prime and it plays 4k movies no prob. my new 43” is series 8 and it gives me 4 hdmi ports, more than i need for its use. 

wanted to replace my decade+ old toshiba 43" tv so went to best buy last week and bought a new Samsung 43" for under $400 with my 2nd stimulus check. i was planning to get 50" LG but lot of them are out of stock due to holiday sales and left with size either 43" or over 60+" on all their brands. some even had under $300 but had bad reviews so picked a tv thats $100 more just to be on the safe side. so now i have 3 samsungs in my room (55" bought last year under $400 also bc it was on sale and 32" one that id had it for years) with conflicting remote controllers. i tried electrical tape and mirror to block ir sensor but didnt work. i figured out only way to work them individually is to point directly at the bottom of dead center at point blank range..its okay bc they are only like one or two arm length away from each other so i can reach it easily to change channels/volumes whatever. i would like to get a bigger tv for the living room someday but i would have to rent a truck bc my car could barely fit 55" last time and i had my head pushed forward while driving and that was kinda dangerous lol..the newer samsung offers better channels but i use apple tv so i normally have my tvs disconnected from internet. amazon prime started to offer uhd on some of my fav movies so i purchased Gladiator last night. to think i had owned it on dvd and hd version so it feels like a waste of money to buy another version but it does look really good in uhd. im sure buying 8k tvs will be useless and incredibly expensive now but maybe in 5 -10 years itll be norm for most households as something probably better comes out

 but jokes are on us bc i read that these streamers make tens of thousands a week on twitch and tiktok etc..X_x 

ill have to check it out. looks funny

i feel kinda ripped off though. i watched Greenland the other day and it was good, but rental costed $20..here Fatman is only half the price. oh well. 

are they deciding on $2000 stimulus now? this isnt kids play, wow. make up your mind already.

so far biden, aoc, even texas gov are getting live vaccine shots, what it seems to be like they are trying to encourage ppl to take one before making it mandatory. next year might be worse when vaccine becomes available to public

a couple more banks are temporary closed now in my area. i was about to open an account on one of them. now im not so sure. ill just find a working atm to deposit cash when my new debit card arrives. its nearly becoming impossible to get a service in person

^ that rudolph one wtf lol

this is a winter themed kdrama called winter sonata. not necessarily a christmas centered one, but a thoughtful and innocent christmas gift plays a major role in the storyline. i first watched it 20 years ago and i still watch it even today. it was so popular in asia that japan made anime 10 years after it aired. it also improved korea’s image and relations among asian countries and tourism/kdrama/kpop flourished (called korean wave). its still popular, ppl still visit sites and houses that were filmed on. i heard they even built a statue where they first met. O_o basically two highschoolers fall in love and they were going to meet on christmas eve for their first official date. on his way, he dies in an traffic accident and shes devastated. the main event takes place 10 years after when she sees a guy who looks exactly like him. 

kdrama opening:

anime version:

my guess is deepfake has been critisized for being used on political figures and porn sites so idk maybe disney wants to keep their squeaky clean image or something lol. or maybe they have a contract with some cg programming companies that they cant get out of. but yeah its their loss for not using it bc it looks really good and has a lot of potentials, especially now that star wars want to backpeddle from disaster movie sequels and throw fans back in timeline 

$600 stimulus is a joke. im not for giving ppl free money but it wasnt even ppls fault for losing their jobs to begin with. that puny amount doesnt even cover one month’s rent in most states. just let ppl get back to work. most ppl would rather work than recieve that kind of chump change. ever since chris benoits murder-suicide back in 2007, ive been reading any news articles that related to that. it was like average from one murder-suicide news every 3 months before lockdown to one murder-suicide news every 3 DAYS after lockdown. shitload amount of unnecessary pressure put on them from eviction, unemployment, restrictions, etc., and no wonder ppl are losing it. i read recent articles about young japanese and korean women committing suicide due to covid isolation, far exceeds the deaths from covid itself..i keep asking myself, for what? oh that 99.99996% something survival rate flu. i see.[/rant]  

amazing a random youtube person can do a better job than disney. so much difference even though its a short scene of luke

^ some random youtubers did deepfake on rogue one’s cg leia and she looked much better. if amatuer’s can do that, id hope movie/tv industries pick it up and improve it. like i mentioned earlier in other thread, a series on younger obi and ani would be really good imo

this is one of my concerns, what if someone follows around ups/fed ex trucks and take your packages? holiday seasons added with covid restrictions on retail stores, ppl are ordering more and more online, plus many package thieves wear masks now so thats no help. i always considered lucky that the front door to our house is hidden by garage and bushes so you cant see the door unless you go around the garage and walk up very close. but i did get a couple of security cameras just incase and installed around the house to make sure it actually arrives. i got two packages today since like 8am and they just sat there for 7 - 8 hours until i came home. been kinda staring at my phone at work to see if any strangers come near by lol. i seldom see packages in plain sight when i drive, passing by residents area and it seems so easy to just take one and not get caught. i wish there was a better way to protect ppls deliveries rather than just sit and wait. 
 

ive heard of epic before but never really bothered to look into its controversial  stuff. O_o like i wanted to get world war z from steam but i couldnt find it. later i learned that its only available on epic.i wasnt happy to hear that honestly and it seems a lot of ppl dislike epic for such a reason as well for monopolizing newly released games to their store platform only, plus ppl complained the site has been hacked multiple times before so theres that. idk, free sounds good but i trust negative views more now than good ones lol. but if you think its a good place for gaming, how do you compare with steam? 
 

^ LOL wtf

this games definetly broke. went to my brothers house yesterday and i was watching my brother play a mini mission and like every 20 seconds combat alerts were buzzing like crazy and he was really confused wth was going on. its a simple misson going from point A to point B looking for someone lol. graphic was okay, things were moving smoothly, but the big city is EMPTY..hardly any ppl around and cars rarely moving. and upgrade will be what like later next year so damn they really screwed up with this one

“As for the game play issues I doubt they'll be fixed (it's a fundamental problem with the combat system, gun play is clunky at best and not satisfying at all. Guns are extremely inaccurate (even pistols)”

i thought it was my bad aiming at first bc i suck at FPS games playing with a console controller but when i shot at a flying police bot at point blank range, i still missed, while it has some kinda seeker bullets that follow me and hits me no matter where i hide. and since there was no one to really fight, i shot at some civilians. some die “correctly” but not everyone. i put 8 bullets in a chest and 2 bullets in a head of this person and still manage to runs away from me lol

my checking account gives me 2 options to avoid a fee each month. one is to have a certain amount of daily balance in it or make a direct deposit of $500. one time i did a transfer from my emergency account to my current checking account bc i needed some funds to pay and it counted as a direct deposit. i could just transfer back and forth every month without paying a fee that way too lol. but this is a really old account, opened it when i was like 18. and with bad rep its getting from news in recent years, ill just use it as a backup account when i get a new one later.

thats really sad that ppl are losing their livelihood. if availability of vaccine somehow eases things down, thatll be great and we'll hopefully get back to normal, but i have a feeling this vaccine will cause more havoc than covid because its being rushed and pretend its suppose to work. most ppl i know says let others take it first and see what happens to them..i mean thats not a confident thing to say when someone says they found a cure for something that public desperately needs. i watched an old documentary long ass time ago about a morning sickness pill for pregnant women back in 60s. it took 2 years for them to alert that those who took the pills have babies born without limbs (affected 46 countries, w/ tens of thousands children born with deformities). who knows what long term effect this vaccine will have it on ppl in such a way or worse, scary thought.

^ that bank sounds great. too bad i cant find m&t in my area. ill keep looking but ill might wait it out for now and to see how vaccine release and 3rd wave of covid would do to banking services in the coming weeks. 

wow thats horrible. just saw the comparison video, even pc version is crap. i was a bit hesitant to buy and good thing i didnt order it bc my bro was telling me about how good it will be since early this year but wasnt sure if i want it or not. O_o i knew there was some kinda catch when they promoted the game with a celebrity up front like that. i like keeanu as an actor but not interested in the game where he has no connection to his movie roles at all. what a fail. 

^ one of my bank's ATMs is incoviniently placed in a drive thru lol. the one that got closed didnt even have a drive thru. anyway i read google review about this location and ppl complaining about how it never works and it eats money and no ones really there to assist them lol. theres a small local bank that allows entrance so im thinking about opening an account there bc i need to deposit some cash too. 

——————————————

there are 6 death reported from covid volunteers recently. my coworker showed me an article from spanish newspaper but it doesnt state exactly where, only that it was in the US. i dont know how accurate the source is but after getting a vaccine, they died within 3 to 60 days span of cardiac arrest, and they were in there 50s and 60s. pretty scary if its true, bc vaccines are suppose be ready and available to public soon

isnt that too many? O_o i would have hard time keeping up with just one or even two these days. after bad reception from last jedi, i thought obi wan show was cancelled. i was kinda hoping events would take place during clone wars though..yeah i get that actors are old but we have deepfakes that could work on those actors now. and i dont know how hayden christionsen(?) gonna pull darth vader..he hates sand so maybe thats where obi hid rotfl. rogue squadron sounds good too but if events take place after return of jedi then it would be dull imo.

i swear i think the company was trying to screw me over. maybe because of my foreign name they thought i woudnt fight back or something? easy pick? idk but i was really persistent and kept updating my progress on getting copy of police report (itll take minimum 2 weeks and im sure they know that too). and due to Covid, most police station offices were closed, so only phone call or online were available to make a report. they eventually sent a cop to my house so i got a case # at least. its nothing short of a miracle that they decided to reship my order. its funny how ppl start to notice one star rating reviews when things go south with the company you trusted, because when i started read their bad reviews, they were very accurate in their complaints of what i experienced during the claiming process. and good thing i used UPS air (extra $5) 3 day delivery guarantee, i think thats how they get their insured money back and then to customers, otherwise the company would have just ignored me and rejected my claim bc its a total loss for them.

“but once you start walking or driving around and the FPS drops to 15 and graphics look like PS1... damn.”

that bad? damn O_o

im so exahusted and relieved at the sametime. my trouble started last month, my package got overlapped with thanksgiving day and it never arrived. not that i was ignorant about holiday seasons but i used echeck and its approval took longer than expected. it was a big order from a precious metal company so i was all stressed out and a claiming process was a nightmare for the next 2 weeks. after long and agonizing days of phone calls, emails, praying to God, and some crying, my order finally got reshipped yesterday and arrived today. it only took ONE day, from nevada to texas so that was really fast. O_o but man, im so thankful to Jesus right now bc it would have taken at least 4 months to recover from that loss if my claim was denied. it was so shady bc the company demanded a copy of police report in 5 days like wth. they later recanted and agreed to reship, and didnt honor their refund policy. i feel like i have aged 10 years this past few weeks. never again ill do any business with that type of company or spend that much online. hard lesson learned..and my other order is from amazon and it only took two days so idk maybe i got lucky with delivery timing this week or UPS has started to push out deliveries so that they wont be too overwhelmed in coming holiday weeks before christmas. i dont think ill be ordering anything starting next week just to be on the safe side
