Cooking for 1 makes this about impractical for me to cook but damn it looks good!
My takeaway from why cody8789 became disenchanted with the voting process was due to the BADGERING that accompanied his vote. Some member(s) chose to badger, brow beat, intimidate others because "your" vote didn't seem to suit "them" or their spin. Oh well, too bad, my vote is my voice.
Take for instance admin's stance on internet pics...we all know that some folks post them. Some use them in a deceptive manner and sometimes those pictures can be seen on the Popular page and in photo contests. IF and I stress IF, IF admin doesn't mind an occasional internet pic as long as it's not used to deceive the members, WHO AM I TO SAY OTHERWISE!? BOOM! End of story yet you still have the same folks reporting members.
It seems to me like no member, no profile is off limits. Like they were hand chosen by the higher power to clean up the site!
I surely understand Jamie's frustration with being blacklisted because it happened to me, too, and just recently with member Reon26. He was worthy of saving being a longtime member, Tushy, NOT if indeed the picture she was reported to have posted was actually posted. And that might be wherein how the discrepancy took place. Perhaps leopoldij didn't fabricate the "abuse". Perhaps the picture was there and Jamie came along, reached out to the member, she understood the consequences of Jamie's contact, blacklisted Jamie, removed the picture and that's why I didn't see it. BOOM!
Basically, the scenario rolled out like what I described above. I do not recall that picture being attached to leo's report but I do remember that that was the ONLY picture featured in the member's gallery. The links leo included in his report reflected an entire torso, breaststroke and cooter, too. There were no links for the cooler only shot.
Surely OZZY45100 is not trying to deceive the membership by using that picture that he borrowed from the internet.
I understand admin's leniency toward internet pics however members should be required to upload their favorite internet pictures in a "miscellaneous" category as they should not be competing with/against the "common man".
Auntie will make her report
The other elders gave Auntie Lix a boot to her head for playing their didjeridu. She was recently spotted back in her village in Aurukun.
No matter how big the pool is.

Hamas isn't the only anti-Israel terror group that actively recruits child soldiers. Hezbollah has been doing this for years.
Hezbollah openly started recruiting children in 2014 when helping the Syrian army.
A 2016 interview with Al Monitor of a soldier recruited as a child shows that brainwashing them with religious justifications for wanting to be martyred is a large part of the training:
Al-Monitor: How old are you and how long have you been with Hezbollah?
Karbal: I am 18. I joined Hezbollah a year and a half ago.
Al-Monitor: Why did you want to join the organization?
Karbal: To wage jihad in Syria. It is my religious duty to fight there. It is the duty of every Muslim. It will also ensure my salvation after my death.
Al-Monitor: Why do you want to wage jihad?
Karbal: I have always been religious. As a child, I used to attend religious majlis [religion classes at the mosque], where they explained to us the duties of a good Muslim. I think I have been ready to die for a long time, and when the war in Syria broke out, it was clear to me it was a war of good against evil. The takfiris in Syria were attacking our holy sites, our Mouqadassat, which are our most sacred places, such as the Sayyida Zeinab pilgrimage site. We could not let that happen.
Al-Monitor: What type of training did you receive from Hezbollah?
Karbal: We are submitted to three trainings. The first is a religious training. We are taught about jihad and about the goal of the war in Syria, which is the protection of our holy sites.
Houthis also recruit child soldiers, so every group that Iran supports also recruits children for war.
Human rights groups seem remarkably unconcerned over this.
Would anyone care to elaborate?

A man has to get home late at night across the forest. And it’s dark and it’s raining and he can’t see 10 inches in front of his own face. And he’s lost in the hail and he’s lost in the rain, he doesn’t even know where he is anymore. And he can’t find his home, he’s walking around in circles, and he doesn’t know what to do and it’s just raining and raining and raining.
Finally, he sees a small mountain. And he says to himself “If I climb up that mountain, maybe I’ll see where my home is,”. So he begins to climb, but there’s so much mud that he keeps sliding down. But he climbs and climbs and pushes himself to the top. Finally, nearing exhaustion, he stands up straight on the top of the mountain and he looks into the distance and what does he see? Nothing at all. Total darkness and hail, and thick fog. He can’t see anything at all. Finally broken and overcome with despair he turns up to Hashem and he cries “Hashem! I’m lost! I’m blind! I can’t find my way home! Help me! Help me, Tatte! Help me…”
And suddenly, bang! Lightning strikes.
And in that moment suddenly the whole forest is illuminated and filled with light and his whole world is filled with clarity. And it’s in that moment, in that second, in that flash, everything he searched for is known. “There is my home, that’s where I live. There is my path and future and destiny.”
Now I’ve got clarity. Now I’ve got vision. Now it all makes sense! I’ll never be lost again!
But then all of a sudden - boom - the lightning stopped and the lights went out. And now he’s back alone in the forest, in the dark, in the rain, with no clear path home…
But…it’s not like the darkness before. Even though it’s just as dark, and he’s just as blind… now he has the answer within him. And all he has to do is be true in the darkness to what he saw in the light, and he can and he will be able to find his way home.
In the light look for the truth, in the dark stay true to the light.
And that my friends, is the definition of emunah.

Driving to the grocery store today?
You’ll have to pay more for gas to get there.
And when you get there, everything from milk to eggs to beer will be more expensive.

So there is a 6% chance you may catch Covid even after both jabs. In a US population of 320 million plus, 6% is around 19 million. The other key factor is that the vaccine reduces the severity of the virus and the likely hood of death.
If you have a person such as in your story link that is to be expected, it is not an argument against the vaccine.
