But we have to look at the math here. Running these makeup exams costs a fortune—we're talking millions when you factor in everything from drafting new test versions to shipping them out and paying security firms. Where is that money supposed to come from? And honestly, 🐔—why isn't that cash being funneled toward helping all the other patients in need? How is that even fair?
What does security have to do with anything, and why on earth would you even bring that up? And what "millions" are we actually talking about here?
Look, let’s just be honest—Meta shouldn't be trying to act like they're launching rockets to Mars. It would be much more decent if they just admitted they don't actually care and have zero intention of doing it. That might be a bit more transparent, I guess.
urbantinker8 said:People in isolation are potentially sick and contagious, I suppose. And honestly, if you don't grasp that, you might not be the sharpest tool in the shed.
But then again, there's also a massive level of discrimination in knowingly exposing everyone who comes in contact with a student—who just absolutely has to test on that specific day or never again—to a potential infection. What if that student actually is infected and passes it to the teachers proctoring them, and suddenly those teachers end up in a COVID ward at a local hospital? I guess nobody cares about that, right? As long as they get into their chosen major.🤦 Would you think it was okay if teachers, who are also supposed to be isolating, had to spend hours proctoring students during finals? Like, just "well, if someone gets sick, they get sick"? Because apparently, it's too much trouble to take sick leave and risk a pay cut from the district.🕺 Let's not talk nonsense; just look out for yourselves and your kids in the weeks leading up to graduation. It shouldn't be that difficult to manage.
👍
Let me say it one more time: nobody is being told to undergo self-isolation because they aren't at any risk of getting infected or falling ill. I mean, would you honestly feel okay with people just going about their business and hanging out with children while they are supposed to be in isolation? (Since you work in healthcare, I find it hard to believe you’d actually advocate for people in isolation having "normal movement."😲)
Exactly. I suppose an "absolute emergency" probably doesn't include wandering out three or four times a day to attend a graduation ceremony.
urbantinker8, let's settle this once and for all. Tomorrow—though God forbid, of course—you might be operated on by a surgeon, while being monitored by an anesthesiologist who, according to protocol, stepped out of quarantine and is under heightened surveillance. And you wouldn't even know. So, sleep soundly.
urbantinker8 said:it’s called S-E-L-F-I-S-H-N-E-S-S. enough common sense for most people. who’s right, who’s wrong... it's subjective, I suppose. anyone who actually gives a damn should probably just stay away from risky situations.
There is an actual protocol in place regarding when people from neighboring states can leave, work, or move around normally—it’s just a matter of staying under heightened supervision. I mean, I doubt Meta would be bothering to post updates if we were talking about kids with 102-degree fevers and hacking coughs; we’re talking about healthy children here.
I don't buy for a second that you're reacting to Seroquel. It’s more likely some kind of allergy—food, maybe? Or feathers, pet dander, laundry detergent, fabric softener... even just a specific soap you've started using. I guess you could try keeping a little log of what you encounter to see if you can eliminate things one by one...
My mom actually dealt with the same thing after her oncology surgery—luckily it was only temporary, lasting about six months or so—she had a nephrostomy tube too. It’s possible the placement just wasn't quite right from the jump; I suppose the best move might be to head straight to an urgent care urology clinic to have them look at it.

You should probably file an application with the Department of Social Services. If you don't qualify for full disability, maybe you could at least get some sort of caregiver assistance or supplemental aid.
Drew Gonzalez75 said:Actually, neither the mom nor the dad should have been ordered into isolation. Since the child hasn't even tested positive yet and is just considered a contact, they should be staying home too.
It's more likely the father just got sick leave rather than actual isolation orders.
Regarding what you’re looking for—if I were in your shoes—I’d probably suggest finding a Gestalt psychotherapist. Everything stays strictly confidential with them. If the cost doesn't break the bank, you might want to check the directory on the official Gestalt Association website; they usually have a full list of practitioners. Or, you could always just ask around in those forums dedicated to therapist recommendations and patient experiences.
Based on what you’ve shared here—and I mean this in the most helpful way possible—it might actually be worth looking into some professional support. Whether it’s psychotherapy, just having someone to talk to, or getting some actual strategies for managing stress... it could make a difference. Personally speaking, seeing a psychiatrist was a huge turning point for me. Between the sessions and the medication, things finally started to stabilize. I'd suggest reaching out to your primary care physician first; they can put in a referral through your insurance provider to get you seen at the earliest available opening.
It’s actually quite normal for your autonomic nervous system to kick in when things get tense. You might notice your blood pressure creeping up a bit, your heart racing—it's just that fight-or-flight response—and maybe your senses feel sharper than usual. If those reactions end up being too intense, though, that's when you run into anxiety. And honestly, that just makes dealing with stress even harder to manage. Could you tell us a little more about your situation? You mentioned something about a neurological condition earlier... and I guess, what exactly counts as a stressful situation for you?

What kind of movies are we even talking about here? I mean, RE is alright in my book—some are better than others, sure, but generally, they hold up okay. But then you get into this mindless nonsense like Monster Hunter... I actually sat through Future World once, too. Honestly, I was watching it and just sitting there thinking, "What am I even looking at right now?" It’s just total garbage.
Raymond Booth40 said:Vec would only fall in love if he actually went looking for it. As far as I can tell, he’s never going to find anyone...
Well, you're clearly missing the bigger picture here—not that it matters much, I suppose. If you actually bothered to look at the thread above, things might make more sense.
Raymond Booth40 How can you even be sure he isn't seeing someone else behind your back? And besides—there's always the risk that he might just fall head over heels for someone else tomorrow, and at that point, he probably won't even remember your name... I haven't read every single word here, but based on what I have gathered, I suspect you aren't actually a priority in his life. I really don't think you should waste your prime years on a guy like that. It is honestly better to be alone than to settle for bad company.
Capak acts like they just landed from Mars. Healthcare workers were basically handed a swab to the nose and told if the result comes back negative, get right back to work.
I mean, I honestly feel like they just ran out of passion—it’s all about the money now—so they’re churning out this absolute garbage. This is basically a straight-to-streaming flop, but even the actors have lost their way; they're just burning through cash and, I guess, they've really lowered their standards regarding which projects they actually sign onto. I mean, you guys have to have seen that jiu jitsu movie with Cage. Ha ha ah
