Re: your sore throat. I get a small (travel size) bottle of Listerine and have it standing by when I feel one coming on. If I do nothing, the sore throat turns into a cold. However, if I gargle that stuff once or twice when I feel it coming on it almost always kills the sore throat and I dodge the "cold bullet." Even after the onset of the throat problem, it helps ameliorate the discomfort. It stings a bit and takes some getting used to, but the momentary discomfort is worth it if it kills the sore throat...Listerine kills germs and viruses and that's what's happening in your throat. Again, it first you'll be cursing my name but after awhile, the relief is worth the initial "YUK!" reaction.
It is starting to feel like we're reaching some kind of resolution or tipping point. The next few days should be interesting.
As for TikTok, Psychos are going to psycho, so maybe them self-identifying online can be a good thing. At least we're learning that there are every bit as many female psychos as male, if not more.
Ignorance in action. Poison oak only grows on the west coast. The urushiol that causes the rash in poison ivy and oak is an oil, and therefore not soluble in water. But I recommend leftists everywhere interact at close range with both plants. Remember, to activate it you must rub it all over your skin before you assault anyone else with it!
1) My grandfather wanted to clear out some brush on a lot that he owned in Oakland, CA. He decided burning would be the fastest and easiest method. He learned the hard way that the oils from poison oak are volatile and enter the smoke from a brush fire. He spent weeks in the hospital recovering from the lung inflammation.
2) My sister is very headstrong. When we were teenagers, my parents bought a piece of land in Mendocino Country and wanted to plant redwood seedlings on a hillside. They sent my sister and me up the hill with seedlings and a bar: one of us pries a slot in the soil, the other places a seedling, repeat until all seedlings gone. I noticed the hill was covered in poison oak, and while I was wearing jeans and a long-sleeved shirt, my sister was in shorts and a tank top. I pointed this out to my Dad, who told her to put on some better clothes. Before she did, she told me she never gets poison oak, and she would prove it: she plucked a sprig and rubbed it into her arm. Then she plucked another sprig "for good measure." She had some itching there that evening, but hardly enough to notice.
Then she went on a river rafting trip with her high school class. They got off the fiver the first day after dark and set up their commode among some bushes for privacy. My sister learned the next morning that these were poison oak bushes, and she also learned that exposure to poison oak sensitizes one's immune system so that a subsequent exposure causes a violent immune raction. She was bedridden for several days with a rash in the worst place.

Again, using the irritant from poison oak or ivy is biological-agent terrorism.
Sux is one of the three drugs in the Three Drug Lethal Injection protocol. First is a sedative like pentobarbital to put the condemned to sleep, then sux to prevent convulsions, then potassium chloride to stop the heart. Most states that use lethal injection now just use a lethal dose of pentobarbital. A large dose of sux will paralyze the diaphragm and cause a person to suffocate, but since they'll be awake the entire time, it's considered torture. Randomly injecting people with sux is a biological-weapon terrorist attack.

Agree. I heard that rubbing it all over your skin will aid in building up an immunity!

Also a virtue escalation ladder: to prove you are as virtuous as the last of your comrades who posted, you need to outdo them with your actions.
