In the social sciences this is known as the reagan bowtie

You do! 🔥 And also, a good outfit is great to wear inside and out. 💁‍♀️

Health NZ changes advice on Covid-19 vaccinations People between the ages of 30 and 64 no longer needed regular boosters, it said.

"Heath NZ...saying most healthy people aged 30-64 no longer need regular boosters.

But there were exceptions and anyone who wanted or needed a booster could still have a free one every six months."

A terribly misinformed recommendation, but you are still eligible.

You have to scroll, but it's here:

Pharmac sets the legally binding schedule for immunisations, which is still 6 monthly and they will not be making a change without consultation.

There have been news articles clarifying this as well.

The confusion comes from Te Whatu Ora's new recommendations, but that's all they are.

Delicious 😈 even better

Any meaning is entirely in the user's head, even when it very much feels like it's not.

This is why these tools are dangerous, imo. Mostly being benign does not mean there isn't danger, much like anything else requiring regulation.

The mystique really vanished as soon as I understood it is a very very sophisticated "next best word" prediction tool based on complex statistics.

It will always produce errors and be inconsistent with answers because it's not able to output meaning, just language.

I can't believe we're at this point, but for real, the Pope should excom him like he's some medieval landowner who wants to appoint his own bishops 😅

Like postal parcels YES, couriered items??

Is there a way to return to sender couriered items?

They can't even divorce themselves from the Vatican because the US isn't a Catholic country, in fact, historically very anti-Catholic.

They have no Catholic political power whatsoever and even the bishops who'd like to break from the Catholic church won't b/c...well they'd lose all their influence

Last night, this friend asked me to drive and escort her home, and my hubby and I helped her check her closets for this man. We weren't really worried, but THIS GUY I MEAN COME OOOON. This is the level we are at

I think this is a sticker if that matters!

I have one of those people muted perpetually, and it really is great.

This is why Craig Little, useless old git mayor of Wairoa, needs to go. His bullshit comments about the recent state of emergency put in place for coastal HB EXCEPT FOR Wairoa, pisses on people like these.

I think personally I will still have a job, but I suspect I will have to "fight" for it with my teammates and others, which will be hell.

Frustratingly, I wouldn't mind redundancy IF my husband was employed right now. I have all these personal projects I want to do.

Very soon I will be finding out the future of my job (or if I will even have one). I keep going between "gawd, I'm going to be jobless, aren't I?" and "Naaah I'm too valuable."

Just got given a presentation, and in the vaguest terms possible, today I'm feeling the latter of the 2 feelings. 😅

Sorry I meant the discount on adult fares that you get if you use a snapper card for that

It's not Motu Move, but I think it's the same concept, contactless at the snapper terminal. It's a pre-national ticketing service thing

*so yes it does come with the snapper discount!

Not anymore, you use the paywave on the snapper terminal as if it's a snapper card. It was just implemented on Sunday, and it's the same fare as using a snapper card (plus a surcharge I think).

Same 😔 I miss how on top of the world I felt then

Hot tip for anyone reading this, you can now pay for bus & train fares in Welly with paywave on cards or on your phone if you have that option and you don't want to buy a snapper card for one trip. Not sure how it would work for multiple people

Where should I go on vacay, Gemini? I can't decide. 🤔

🎶 Mama, we all go to hell 🎶

What's my love language, Gemini? 🥰

🎶 OH MOTHER, WHAT THE WAR DID TO MY LEGS AND TO MY TONGUE 🎶

Now it's your turn. Ask anything about your listening Guess my love language based on my listening > What was my listening aura like lately? > Where should I go on vacay based on my listening? > Ask about your listening

Google music suggested I ask Gemini these questions after giving me my quarterly music recap.

Dear reader, the recap was playing "Mama" by MCR.

I could have sworn they used to do this? Or you could select that you wanted a copy of your submission? 🤔

I have never gotten esims to work properly, maybe it's my phones but they just simply do not function for me 🤷‍♀️ i assume once they are set up, it's a breeze until it has to change again

Not dunking on Zack or this post, I’m just always struck by how easily American journalists will admit that the media shapes public polling and political outcomes when they’re not talking about America.

an image of a rat called neil. he looks like he's playing on a small rainbow toy piano. the photo has a caption in the image that reads "Neil banging out the tunes April 13, 2006"

happy 20th anniversary of neil bangin out the tunes to all those who celebrate
