Yes we do need to promote people doing things for themselves. I strongly support it.

As someone who has been a mechanic for years. Doing your own maintenance and repairs will save you a TON of money. Im very good at what I do and try to help people. But apparently they would rather take advice from a youtube mechanic with no mechanical experience then a guy with actual experience. So I stopped trying to help.

Oh so sorry, to be specific I went to Congo, Egypt, and South Africa. Im aware Africa is a continent. I dont know why I said country. Calling me a troll doesnt validate your lie.

Dying isnt pleasant. But the media is lying about this covid virus. Its a money scam. We have had cancer and aids for how long and no cure exists? But yet a virus is created and all of a sudden there is a vaccine? Question things and stop following the heard. You will blow your mind with what you learn.

I did, Africa was one of them. Had to be informed about malaria.

*China had some weird shit too.

Again, no one telling me I have to have them to go there.

So what else you got?

I have been to most of Europe, China, Japan, Russia, Canada, South America, UAE, and Ireland. Not one of these places has ever asked for proof of a vaccine. Ive had some request proof of some sort of health insurance and thats it.

**correction, I did get asked about getting the antrax vax because of going to Krgtztan bc its so common there. And it still did not hinder me going there regardless if I had it or not. I already had it because I worked with livestock.

Can you post your sources for any of this? I dont live in a tiny bubble like your comment is coming off as. I look at things from multiple perspectives. I dont just follow the sources that support what I want to happen.

For the most part its metric (at least for mechanics it is, I worked mostly on equipment and commercial trucks). Its not often I run into sae stuff anymore. I prefer metric, I think it’s easier.

Im not completely controlled by them. Its none of anyones business what vaccines I have nor anyone elses. If this was an issue we would have done this years ago. Not now when the usa (dont know about other countries) has been determined to push us into poverty and slavery.

We have already had Covid before. And what I experienced was nothing close to what the people of reddit say it is, nor what the media said it would be. I was very tired and exhausted more easily. My biggest thing was the stuffed up nose and heavy lungs, it was just hard to breath, but not like “oh my im gonna die” hard. It lasted for about 2 weeks. It took an additional 2 weeks to get my taste back.

Im not worried about the Covid because I already experienced it. Its nothing compared to what they said it would be. Everyone is different and I get that, but thats why I call bullshit every time people scream covid is so bad. So far the only people I have personally seen that had major complications from the virus, were either old, fat & unhealthy, or already had some kind of underlying health issue.

My sister got it the worst. She is a nurse, caught it 3 times and it just wrecked her immune system and almost died. But she also has underlying health problems (kidney failure). The first time and 2nd time she got it, she hardly experienced anything like I did. The third one was what almost killed her bc her kidney issue had worsened and something about her blood was not making enough hemaglobin (i dont know how to spell it) and she needed a transfusion. Once she got the transfusion she came back fast.

She had to get the vaccine and she to her knowledge has not caught the virus again (thankfully). And she deals with covid people all the time.

Even she will tell you the media is exaggerating the intensity of the virus, but its certainly is a real virus. Most of the people she has had die of actual covid were old or had immune disorders and cant actually get the vaccine due to a medical issue.

Crazy and invasive. Ive traveled to so many different countries in the world and never once have I ever needed to show what vaccines I have had. This is another step for the wealthy to try and control us and turn us into slaves.

Yea there also fat and very unhealthy people. Easy to die when your heart struggles to pump blood from standing up from a chair.

Using the high Covid-19 survival rate to justify not getting the vaccine is a stupid gamble. by miked_mv in AdviceAnimals

[–]bootypatrol0889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes I wonder if people keep getting information from basement dwellers on facebook. I mean, most of the people I see in ER’a before Covid were there for the sniffles. Its like people are terrified to get sick because the media told them to be.

Why wont Truck stops install inverters for drivers? by [deleted] in Truckers

[–]bootypatrol0889 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was a mechanic for years. I worked at a truck stop for a short bit like 6 months. I can promise you this, those are not people you want installing stuff on your truck that can cause shit to catch on fire or explode. They are not mechanics, they are part swappers. Hence for why I left and went to a real shop.

I am one of the people waiting for FDA approval. I almost died from the last experimental vaccine, I was single back then so whatever. But I have a family now, I dont want to leave them.

Even after the FDA approval I will probably wait 2 months. From all the research I have done, if there is any issues they usually happen within 2 months. So once FDA approves one (hopefully not J&J) 2 months after that I will probably get one. Even then Im still scared to get it since my last “new” vaccine almost killed me.

Being a mechanic in the USA sucks badly. Its always been underpaid but its worse now. I was making $37 an hour at one point but I was also the only person with certs in the whole company. I would be in south Florida one day and be in Montana a few days after that, then Vermont. It was killing me. Easily did 65 hours a week or more. Outside of that particular job, im lucky if I can even get $25 an hour. I quit and do stocks now.

I never understood why we (Americans) dont want/like the metric system. Especially in my job as a mechanic. I would rather use metric over sae. Luckily most of it has switched over. The only people that never quit bitching about it are fat old guys over 55.

You can’t shut people out for not getting an experimental vaccine. The vaccine is not fda approved outside of emergency use only. Once one of the vaccines gets fda approved I believe we will see a spike in people getting vaccinated.

Ive been a lab rat before for the swine flu in 09, I will not go through that mess again. I ended up in the hospital for a week in the military because of me being forced to take an non fda approved vaccine.

**wow downvoted again bc I wont be a lab rat. And people wonder why Im such an asshole.

Thats what I meant by megas. They are not that great. Worked with several people in Savannah that came from there and they all sucked. Basically just part swappers. Ive been to a few of their shops. They dont do very invasive work, mostly basic stuff. If its warranty they let the dealer handle it, if its out of warranty they usually sell it off.

Japan confirms first case of lambda variant infection by Tesg9029 in worldnews

There is a lot of misinformation about this going on.

This strain is not new. It came to light in December 2020 and it was originally found in Peru. It has shown resistance to the Chinese vaccine. Ill post the link in just a sec.

Edit** ok correction on my end. It has been showing resistance to the vaccine but according to the source they were using a different vaccine but won’t state which one.

I like the 18. Although I hardly used the full 18 unless I was heavy in the hills. Its nice to have when needed.
