    Change of subject.

    Covid scare today. My cousin tested positive and she had just hung out with my wife on Monday.

    Scary moment for me. I’m currently battling cancer and throwing COVID into the mix would have not been fun.

    Anyways, wife and I tested negative so crisis averted! I celebrated by trying shrooms for the first time. It was delightful.

    I also learned there’s an Indian show on Netflix narrated by John McEnroe.

    The bets that you have with him is your business. If he would come back as a black man, it would be too

    easy for him, last time that I checked, black people speak English.

    Maybe you are a little thick but I’ll try again, how do you impersonate a Vietnamese that is fluent in said

    language?

    People who question your credibility aren’t simply going to take your word for it that you are fluent. The person you’re alleged to be apparently has a Vietnamese wife, so pretending to be fluent online would not be difficult.

    Then again, that person could very well have been fluent if he has a Vietnamese wife.

    So, either way, not a strong argument that you’re a different person.

    Geez, I hope the cousin knows better now.

    Good luck and good spirits on kicking cancer's ass

    Glad you're playing with Psilocybin.
    You might enjoy a Netflix documentary called Fantastic Fungi. A lot of biology, and then a lot of history of research into their cog psych properties.

    My wife and I just watched it. We now want to become mushroom experts. Luckily my wife is actually a scientist…. I’m just good looks.

    My cousin has young kids, and one of them caught it at school. I wasn’t upset. My wife and I knew the risk before they hung out. She had fun that night, which she needed desperately between her 2 full time jobs (work + being my caretaker). Not fun when you’re only 30.

    the next step will be to outlaw air travel for the unvaccinated, so you can't even leave the country to escape it

    Lol. You haven’t the faintest idea how difficult Vietnamese is. That general guy is not the first nor the last guy that married to a

    Vietnamese. Go ask any guy that married to a Viet if they can converse with his spouse in Vietnamese?

    Vietnamese is not Spanish. One word can have multiple accent marks that changes the meaning of that

    word completely, and then there is a high level Vietnamese which borrowed heavily from Chinese which is

    called Han Viet.

    The pronunciation is almost impossible for foreign speakers to get it right because of the accent marks.

    Failed. Try again. Lol

    You could always leave via the southern border. I hear the wall is pretty easy to evade.

    Oh did you already demonstrate your fluency and flawless pronunciation on here? Didn’t realize.

    Plenty of times with the written words. As for the verbal part, I offered to meet bobrek in person since he’s in St Pete and I’m in Sarasota so he can tape me lecturing you guys here in Vietnamese, but of course he declined.

    The never ending vaccine train is upon us. Quick... give up your rights and dismiss all options that CNN doesn't push for big pharma.

    It's not a condition of employment. It's for employee safety (see Occupational Safety and Health Administration below). The employer can choose to ignore it and face fines of 14k per violation. Now, employers do have the right to fire employees who refuse to be vaccinated - that's up to each employer.

    The gov has always had the power to mandate vaccination for public safety. Do you want to be an American? You need to get at least 7 vaccines. You want to go to public school, a bunch of vaccines. You want to be part of the army, a bunch of vaccines. We have seen that our society, our legislators, the executive, and the judicial branch have historically put public health (vaccination mandates) above individual preference (with some exceptions) - this has been through the democratic process, not absurd and not tyranny.

    Correct... they still have the same rights... but they also have consequences for the free exercise of those rights.
