Now we get to order Chinese takeout and watch movies together. Can’t fucking wait! Best….xmas….yet!

There's too much pressure to go see family during the Holidays that... frankly, you don't give a SHIT about.

I'm sorry she got it, but my sincerest hope is that you both can ride it out at home w/o needing medical care!! Thanks for vax&boosting!

It’s a festivus miracle! Know the feeling of relief missing multiple stops on eve and day. I hope you get by mild symptoms too.

Couldn't be more envious. Of the alone time, not the covid.

Same here, kids dropped one by one (not vaxxed) - still standing strong after 8 days - and same feeling about not having to xmas with others

My whole house including me has covid right now. We’re not actually that sick as we’re all 2xvax, but it’s good to have some rest this year

Vax status should make the symptoms milder at least.

Family exposed us last weekend, we tested negative for now but out of an abundance of caution we're cancelling both sides. I'm ecstatic.

Everyone I know cancelled Christmas visits even though none have COVID. It's just the sensible and compassionate thing to do.

Brother in law was close of someone who has it and came into his cafe and a gig he was at. We are postponing till new year.

? all I can do is hope it's a minor case with no lasting effects. Good luck!

With the new more contagious variant, not sure travelling is a good idea anyway.

If my parents hadn't already gotten covid, then vaccinated and boosted, and I was more than a straight shot drive away, I wouldn't go.

A whole lot more people I know are catching this one. And this is before the family gatherings

In the same boat except missus is a close contact. Both tested negative but she can’t go anywhere til 28th. I cancelled the 9kg turkey.

The good news is they were tested in time to keep you safe. Enjoy a makeup Christmas when everyone is healthy!

The angry trump fans who are upset over vaccine mandates. They want to "personal responsibility" the nation out of the pandemic.

4 years ago | Likes 43 Dislikes 8

It has clearly worked so well so far....

4 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 3

the party of "personal responsibility" means "I believe what my slave masters tell me and I will kill you for it"

4 years ago | Likes 17 Dislikes 2

The party of no empathy, basically. "I judge myself by my circumstances and intentions, but you by how it looks on the outside."

I think my favorite are the ones who get abortions and then yell at the doctors and nurses on their way out.

They """"personal responsibility""""-ied the nation this far INTO the pandemic. How they think it'll reverse?! (Ik ik, they don't think.)

I suspect it’s more benign. Typically it’s those who don’t want to see anything else on Imgur other than silly jokes or new memes.

Ah yes, the morons who devote all of their time to being angry but can devote 30 seconds to turning on a content filter

Lol and you continue with the presumptive hyperbole. Last I checked it was no more than a finger twitch of effort to DV something.

Especially as a quick skim doesn’t show “those people” in comments….which means you put more effort in “being angry” typing that.

"Swimming Rama" is a good one if you can do peanuts. But I like any good quality red or yellow curry. Depends on cooking influence.
