    - Plus, I doubt he has any back end deal so he already got paid what he got paid and that's not likely to change significantly going forward. -- nm - Dano Feb 7, 09:36
  - His part in the movie has been downplayed - and probably cut - considerably. -- nm - Mop Feb 7, 09:27

- OK, employee, what religion would that be exactly? No Googling. -- nm - CinnaBaron Feb 7, 08:10
- Wait I just realized you said testing. Are their religious exemptions from TESTING? - sycor Feb 7, 08:08 4
  - (The JWs have said their members should get vaccinated, fwiw) -- nm - Reagen Feb 7, 08:09 3
    - Hadn't heard that. Good for them! -- nm - sycor Feb 7, 08:12
    - Even the Christian Scientists do not oppose it -- nm - CinnaBaron Feb 7, 08:12 1

        Som brains do not want to be tickled, pip. -- nm - Spawn Feb 7, 08:47 2

        TBF, if someone's working from home, I can see how masks and vaccine mandates may be moot. Testing, though..? - Mop Feb 7, 09:38
        
        of course it is NJ -- nm - oblique Feb 7, 09:08
    - My employer has one but they have no time for nonsense. The policy was set back when they started requiring flu shots and it is very specific. -- nm - CinnaBaron Feb 7, 08:22 2
      - I've never heard of flu testing. our religious accommodation for vax is basically "if you apply, you're accommodated" but for testing, we have none. - amanda jeans Feb 7, 08:24 1
        
        Misread on my part. I don't think we have an exemption from testing if you're one of the few with an vaccine exemption. - CinnaBaron Feb 7, 08:33
    - 👍 🙏 -- nm - oblique Feb 7, 08:10
- Did Jesus say no sticking things up your nose? -- nm - Reagen Feb 7, 08:06 8
  - "coerce me into collecting my DNA weekly without my consent" and "experimentation on living creatures without consent." - amanda jeans Feb 7, 08:15 5
    - And two swings and a miss on the complaints themselves. -- nm - Reagen Feb 7, 08:16
    - if there is an ancient religion that had DNA guidelines, sign me up! - Andie Feb 7, 08:16 3
      - 2 shall be the cnumber of helices thou shalt count and the number of the counting shall be 2. - CinnaBaron Feb 7, 08:20 1

      - *straightens up posture* -- nm - Giorgio A. Tsoukalas Feb 7, 08:18
  - Every hole is sacred -- nm - oblique Feb 7, 08:11 1
    - In the old versions of the Bible, nose pickers got it the worst—Charlemagne had that stuff edited out (as he was a notorious nose picker) -- nm - Flavorize Feb 7, 08:18
- Excellent. Be sure to find out if she has religious exemptions from basically ALL medications because they all have the same issue -- nm - oblique Feb 7, 08:04
- j. fried chicken -- nm - prayformojo Feb 7, 08:03
- This is why the whole exemption thing is just dumb. -- nm - sycor Feb 7, 08:03 1
  - agreed. -- nm - St. Epiphany Feb 7, 08:04
- People are lame -- nm - budice Feb 7, 08:03
At this point, the occupiers are not after anything related to Covid, just to make Trudeau look bad - Reagen Feb 7, 07:57 11
- How's that working out for them? -- nm - Mop Feb 7, 08:11
- my brother and FIL who both HATE Trudeau would gladly run over every protestor if given the chance. Neither blame him at all from what i can tell -- nm - Beaker Feb 7, 08:02 5
  - also, considering how the provinces set these things trying to blame trudeau just makes them look even more moronic -- nm - Beaker Feb 7, 08:08 4
    - TBF, the objections arise from restrictions at the border. That's federal jurisdiction. -- nm - Mop Feb 7, 08:12 3
      - that was the starting point. The people are protesting everything - masks, vax passports, capacity limits, gas prices, guy in Ottawa had a Trump 2024 - Andie Feb 7, 08:14
      - But they're made they can't go to the US, which is under control of... the US. -- nm - Reagen Feb 7, 08:13 1
        
        *that* did occur to me. Not that applying logic to any of this is worthwhile but... c'mon, guys. You're just looking for an excuse to be dicks. -- nm - Mop Feb 7, 09:23
- Trudeau has like some form of Canadian Teflon -- nm - budice Feb 7, 07:58 3
  - He's not well liked but the alternative continues to be worse - Reagen Feb 7, 08:04 2
    - Pretty much this. -- nm - Shaun Feb 7, 08:33 1
      - heh -- nm - budice Feb 7, 10:21
"I'm Dead, Now What?" - I have this book.... - Andie Feb 7, 07:52 5
- "Stay still - you might scare the living if you move around." -- nm - Max Feb 7, 08:00 1
  - "this reads like stereo instructions" -- nm - Reagen Feb 7, 08:08
- thanks for this! I really should get a will. I have a document written that outlines most of my stuff though so it's better than nothing - sycor Feb 7, 07:58
- I did up a folder of stuff. Insurance documents, bank account info, investment locations, passwords and places to let know (ie: ST) -- nm - Beaker Feb 7, 07:57 1
  - nice -- nm - Andie Feb 7, 08:08
