This is excellent. Really got the vibe of my prompt better than I could imagine. Didn’t really mail the style of beat I wanted but didn’t matter.

Not the same but subtitles are available of course…

That wild Ask a Manager story 4 years ago
“There are four reasons why the Cynics are so named.
First because of the indifference of their way of life, for they make a cult of indifference and, like dogs, eat and make love in public, go barefoot, and sleep in tubs and at crossroads.
The second reason is that the dog is a shameless animal, and they make a cult of shamelessness, not as being beneath modesty, but as superior to it.
The third reason is that the dog is a good guard, and they guard the tenets of their philosophy.
The fourth reason is that the dog is a discriminating animal which can distinguish between its friends and enemies. So do they recognize as friends those who are suited to philosophy, and receive them kindly, while those unfitted they drive away, like dogs, by barking at them.”
Very much enjoyed this, very prescient

"Better a horrifying ending than a horror without end"
I was surprised and have no way of knowing either way. The first shot had zero effect on me, not even shoulder ache.
Pfizer
Completely anecdotally but I had covid in late Feb 2020…no antibodies, brain fog and some chest pain and to my great surprise after the second vaccine two months ago I feel better than I’ve ever felt. I did sleep for 36 hours over that weekend, could be something to do with it.
