You can give yourself those same self critical messages in a self compassionate way.

I have achieved my goals in life and always thought it was because I was being maniacally self critical. Almost to the point of self loathing. It will get you there, but you will not be happy longterm.

I underestimated how important it is to keep the positive and uplifting internal tone when delivering these messages to yourself. Recognize the changes you need to make; but know when to give yourself a break too.

COVID causes a dysregulated immune and inflammatory response during the infection but to my knowledge does not leave the immune system impaired like say, HIV. Do you have sources I could read?

That’s the real question. Id wager they are stil ongoing, as it’s still too soon to get a broad scope of it, especially with the different variants and weather change.

This article has absolutely nothing to do whether you contracted the disease and it’s effect on transmission.

You mean "Stop crying and get over it, it was only a dog. It's not like a person died.", isn't the right frame of reference?

When I was a child, "pets" were something you owned. NOW, they're more like a (lesser but true) "member of the family".

Something tells me when men were hunting buffalo and sabretooth tigers were hunting men . . . pets were "members of the family" then too, and we've come full circle.

As it should be.

If you only listen to a couple hundred songs you are missing out / need a better method for finding music. I have a similar process to your for finding music except i rely on my Discover Weekly to bring me the songs in a way that makes sense (e.g. it gives me dark folk one week and then bubblegum punk the next). It used to have about a 33%-66% match rate, but now it is closer to 100% so providing almost 1500 great songs a year, pre sorted by genre/mood/feel.

No matter how quick you are at scanning through new music it isn't going to be as efficient as Discover Weekly.

Here is the paragraph on how to: “For example, if one accepts their pet will eventually die and is able to develop a sense of perspective, the stronger the bond with the pet, and the better the opportunity for growth after their death.”

I know tons of cognitively impaired young people. Old news.

I was wondering this, too. Are you aware of studies quantifying vaccination vs long Covid?

Interesting. I've read information pointing in this direction, but hadn't heard it stated as a conclusion.

Too right. I'd have danced on my mother's grave except it was pretty deep and not filled in - and my siblings and cousins would have gladly buried me with her if I'd done them the favour of humping down onto her overpriced corpse-container. They were trying to work out how to do me out of my share of the inheritance before she was pronounced dead.

But my heart still hurts when I remember my big strong half-wild Tomcat, shark teeth and razor claws, so fast and sharp you didn't know he'd slashed you until the blood stated dripping.

He grew to trust me, and when he was on his back, slashing in chaotic anger, I could ignore his claws, talk gently to him and kiss his nose, and he'd hug me, paws around my neck. He lived a reasonable number of cat years, but not in my eyes. He was still fast and playful as a kitten until his last year, when a strange disease ate away his face and his paws.

He lay beside my computer for a year, on a cushioned bench we fixed up for him, so he was always being cuddled or stroked, and was carried everywhere he wanted/needed to go. One night he started running in his sleep and I stroked him until he quieted, and next time I stroked him he was cold, and gone.

Pets love us and give us all they have. They deserve our grief.

Can you correct an assumption I have if I am wrong.

Int self criticism how we improve as people? Reflect, criticise, change.

The criticism isn't necessarily negative, and not useless in that context. But maybe there is something more specific I am missing or am just generally out of touch?

In 30 years or so, after x number of infections from a constantly mutating virus, our children may never forgive us this small moment in history.

That they found a rare case doesn't dispute that it's a rare occurrence

I’m in the field. 8% is probably a generous estimate. I’d guess 5% is closer, but it’s easy to fudge numbers by including tangential business fields. One of my friend’s wife describes herself as “being in AI” because she’s on the sales team for the AI group. You could probably get close to 25-40% depending on how much you want to fudge.

Anecdotally, the past 2 weeks my fiancee and I have had covid. She had 3 doses of the original vax, while I had 3 doses of original plus a bivalent booster. Her symptoms were much worse, chills, coughing fits, fever, and sneezing compared with mine, where I had an occasional cough, some sneezing and some tiredness, causing me to only miss an hour of work compared to the day off that she had to take(we both work from home). We've both recuperated, but she has a lingering cough.

It does. It actually is considered an immune system virus.
