And some of them do succumb to the grifter lifestyle because it's easy money. She's still a total idiot though. You don't just get to decide "I'm not paying taxes this year". Who does she think she is, Wesley Snipes? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago Also, as the old saying goes, do you know what they call the person who comes last in medical school?

The only similarity is that both of them are viruses that can cause respiratory symptoms. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ClockworkOtter@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago Okay, my original comment clearly came across as a weasel for COVID denial so sorry for that. Fuck denialism. What I meant was that - like flu - it is an endemic respiratory virus which will be nasty but not fatal to most people. In certain contexts masks are less useful (not useless I suppose), and this is particularly in areas where mask use is minimal and strict (e.g. under the nose or constantly being touched without proper hand hygiene). So what your cardiologist said could have been a realistic assessment of the current state of COVID, or denialism in which case they're a dick. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago You need to be much richer than her to not to pay taxes in the US. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 child) You never know what kind of doctor she is.
