One big difference between out there in the world vs online: if you're talking to a neighbour in the Centra and they tell you "there's a bad dose going around", it's considered extremely weird if you reply "no there isn't, I haven't heard that" or "source?" - ThreadSky

When I was in college some fella tried to contradict a story I was telling by saying "well that's just anecdotal" and I got to go "yes it's an anecdote"

I don't think he really grasped what the word meant now that I think about it

Bumped into a neighbour in Centra not long back and told them our old cat had died. Was most surprised when they replied "photo or it didn't happen"...

I prefer to pull out my excess deaths chart

Currently stricken with it, the youngest brought it from school.

yeah but no one at centra laughs at my extremely niche topical jokes, so swings and roundabouts

“Which bad dose? Because I had a vomiting big last week and I feel your statement isn’t covering vomiting bugs.”

darach.bsky.social•79 days ago

Yep, and I failed to consider that some people choose to be sick rather than rushing the healing process artificially at their own expense to return to work for their employer's profit. #cancelled

And also that some people get vomiting bugs. And that’s okay.

I feel like Norovirus is a bad un-dosing, in fact if you have any body fluids left at all at the end you're doing well.

Back in the twitter wars of around 2021. People got turned into global main characters for comments that would barely elicit a response in real life. The person who tweeted that they thought it was bad to read books in bars for instance. Most people would silently disagree, or say "oh really ya?"

Chili lady was the real low point.

Having student union election campaigns go global probably didn't help anyone either!

There's a bad dose going around in Swords at the moment. Nobody is suspicious about the information, they just nod vigorously when it's mentioned.

IRL "There's a bad dose going around"
Online "There's a bad dose going around"
