If the flu vaccine was so good, I don't think they would be handing them out for free.


But for w/e reason, you see places all over the place offering it for free.

Pretty sure it's just some kind of kickback scheme. If it happens to keep you from getting a flu that year it's just an unexpected bonus.


One of the reasons given for free or very low cost flu shots as per the internet:

Workplace Health Reduced absenteeism: Many employers sponsor on-site or free flu vaccination clinics to keep their workforce healthy and prevent widespread sick leave during peak flu season.

You know what else prevents getting the flu? Working remote from home. But you don't really see any jobs pushing to expand that do we? I'm talking about jobs that are obviously and easily done remote, not jobs where some physical on-site work is needed.

I read TD forums daily but haven't posted in a long time.

This show is just so odd that I had to log back in.

My wife and I are really confused as to why Hal Jordan would go to Federal Prison.

For what?

I mean yes there was collateral damage but he exposed and helped eliminate an Alien threat.

I understand why the town that prospered under the Man Hunter would be upset, but Federal Prison for 10 years?

There's been several instances where characters reflect on something Hal Jordan did and say to the effect of "Yea what a piece of shite he is" or "He's out of control". And I'm left wondering, was there a scene I missed?

Sure things get messy but he's still acting in the best interest of Earth overall. Maybe he has some personal feelings mixed in too but he's basically doing the job he was hired to do.

But people act like he's being a rogue GL?? Just really odd.

If the show had bothered to say Hal Jordan went to jail for other shite done off screen in the past that pissed off the Federal Government like intervening in U.S. Foreign Affairs or something, it would at least make a bit more sense.

But instead the show implied that the Man Hunter incident is what got him sent there.

It's definitely better than Supergirl, Creature Commandos, and Peacemaker season 2.

I tried to watch Supergirl streaming. I'm usually the type that if I start a show or movie and I'm not digging it, I still finish it to see how it ends.

But I just couldn't with Supergirl, the main character was just too off puttting.

Also the reason that one family getting wiped out in the start is because the brother did a jump scare.... it's so dumb.

The two cops not identifying themselves was pretty dumb as well. I can allow this if they intentionally were trying to hide they were cops due to their dirty dealings, but so far that has not been established.

You only watched the first episode or also the 2nd episode? Because from just that scene, my take away was they're either crooked cops or it was a sting and they were reluctant to declare themselves cops.

By end of episode 2 though it should leave no doubt they're crooked.

Though now that begs the question why didn't the crooked cop just shoot the guy instead of arresting him. I get that there are probably subway cameras but I feel like if he shot immediately after the other cop got hit by the train, he could try to justify "heat of the moment".

Really cringy, I couldn't even sit through the entire skit.

It's a start but I was witness to 2 stabbings in the subway over the past 3 months.

The fact that they specified shootings makes me think stabbings haven't stopped.

I remember someone the other day on here made a joke about getting the old man smell out of the White House.

With how rare Biden was actually at the White House, there probably wasn't much to clean up.

I saw this clip elsewhere earlier this morning without sound or context. (someone linked it to me)

At first I thought the joke was that the subtitles weren't catching the words correctly.

I then re-watched it with sound to my amazement....

'I don't think they should be rounded up in the middle of the night.'

I mean... isn't that the best time to do it to keep collateral damage to a minimum?

Also easier to grab if you know where they stay at night.

Thank you for the link, it was a pretty good interview for Trump I think.

I ended up looking up the full interview and was pleasantly surprised how often he seemed to get the crowd on his side.

I'm assuming the crowd was also invited and curated by the host so I would have assumed a hostile crowd.

The interviewer certainly wasn't hiding his bias.

They keep acting like the push back that they don't like is in the minority.

Paraphrasing: "The vocal minority etc etc"

But if that were true, the show would succeed anyway despite the backlash online.

I'm also late to the party.

I heard there were rumors and rumblings of Biden dropping out but I didn't think he'd actually go through with it, let alone on a Sunday and not a weekday.

I typically tune out political news on the weekends to give myself a break and then we get two weekends in a row of crazy news.

Both times my wife ended up telling me and I thought she was BSing me.

Aren't they already past certain states deadlines for changing the nominee or something?
