The whole deal with the mRNA vaccines was that it wouldn't inject the virus itself. That being said, there are also vaccines that do just that.
Tbf most vaccines have additives with a weakened state of the virus.

I'd prefer the whole enchilada, and would pay out of pocket. I have a vacation coming up.

Yep, it really seems to vary a lot depending on the person. First shot I got hit me like a truck and I had aches/troubles breathing properly for about 3 weeks. Second one didn't really affect me much at all.

I'm not intending to take any more shots though as the risk/reward doesn't seem worth it for me personally.
I think I will fill up now after this... As it was I were 2 times close to the ER if the fever didn't go down. But it did.

You are coming off as the kind of person who is just going to blame anything on it.

well im sorry you have that impression, you are coming off as the type of person who isnt listen to what anyone says about it if you dont morally agree with it.

That was stated due to the reply I recieved being them showing a moral high ground. I don't really care what peoples opinions are. I just don't care for people who constantly say that one opinion is wrong.

My parents who got vaxxed as soon as it was available now regret taking it because it made them sick and weak, but I remember my dad tried hard to convince me to get the shot by saying "If you don't get it then you won't be allowed to enter stores or fly." that was pretty creepy and disgusting.

Despite that, I hope they recover their health, obviously.

They tried to segregate and divide people based on a medical injection and that didn't turn out well.

no one in my immediate family including me has been vaccinated, not even my grandma, except for a few aunts and uncles. however, the topic was not discussed much and we had no disputes about it, everyone just accepted the decisions made. all my friends have been vaccinated, this did not lead to any arguments either. alsmost nobody of us had covid, the one who did, did not have hard symptoms no matter if vaccinated or not. also vaccinated ones did not suffer any side effects. so win win situation for everyone?

The vaccine turned me into a newt :mellow:



Wait, I already did that joke :unsure:

Wow, you people have been bickering about this for almost three years.

Agreed. Let's get off this crummy subject. :)

I wonder how many people stop taking medicine altogether, because they have or might get side effects.
The entire antivax movement has had a pretty large boost from this COVID19 vaccine media/political circus, so more and mord people will be fighting against any kind of innoculation.

I doubt all that many people will stop taking pills, though. There is medication out there that list "death" as a known side effect, and it hasn't stopped anyone yet.

easy to just "let it go" instead of admitting ignorance if you pushed extremely experimental and now known harmful injections on people.

Had pretty much the same experience. People telling me I'm going to kill my nan If I don't get it lmao. Saying I can't fly and shit like that, pretty much everywhere has reopened. Novak was discriminated against ridiculously and he's just set the all-time grandslam record, glad he didn't cave over a disease with a 0.06% death rate.

    @AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
