COVID Commercial - SNL

Yeah. Men are so stupid. And clueless. Like in every commercial for the past 6 years. Very original. And so true.

[@MP-in4or]

Yes, because fathers are complete idiots when it comes to raising our kids. We are so dependent on mom to do everything for us. News to the not so wise, just because she is a women does not mean she is automatically a good mother. And just because he is a father, does not mean he is an idiot and depends on her.

Covid was so stressful, staying home, getting paid more than normal without working, and doing what I wanted. Total hell.

[@MisssKayy]

@Jeff Lebowski I had covid too. This guy is trying to be funny because he obviously doesn’t realize how covid affected most of the world. People lost their lives. I’m sorry that you have to deal with this.

[@fivehourdelay]

How is it hilarious now when we're heading into the worst winter of covid yet with rsv, flu, and covid variants running rampant, thousands dying each week? Is that what makes it funny now? Not to mention hospitals already overflowing with sick children, acute and long covid patients, staff stretched thin after three years of this. But sure, go off on how excellent and hilarious it is to downplay and minimize a deadly, infectious airborne disease that doesn't just attack the immune system but every system in your body

[@canaisyoung3601]

Now I understand what you were trying to tell me: these Catecholamine neurons are responsible for our most basic bodily functions that control sleep/wake cycles, breathing, blood pressure, stimuli modulation, among other unconscious activities. Damn! You are definitely on to something that has not crossed my awareness yet-and this concept is terrifying. Not just the heart and arteries, or even the possibility of Prion Disease since the lipid nano particles can cross the blood/brain barrier-but the very CENTER of our being-the Brainstem ITSELF could be being attacked by the spike proteins. This is so fantastical, yet appears to make perfect sense. This is utterly terrifying.
