Influenza, as well as other common viruses like Epstein-Barr (which causes mononucleosis), have long been thought to trigger myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome, a post-infectious illness that shares many symptoms with Long COVID.\nNewer research also underscores the potential effects of even routine illnesses. In a study published in October, researchers tracked people who had gotten sick with one of a variety of respiratory diseases, including COVID-19, the flu, and the common cold, and found that lingering symptoms popped up in each group. Similarly, in one 2022 study of people with various respiratory diseases, most of whom were not hospitalized, about half of people sick with something other than COVID-19 reported ongoing issues three months later. A 2021 study looking at both hospitalized and non-hospitalized patients also found that about 40% of people with influenza experienced at least one symptom commonly associated with Long COVID in the six months after their illnesses.\nTaken together, Al-Aly says, these findings suggest that we need to start thinking of viruses differently. “Before the pandemic, I trivialized infections. [I thought] you get sick for a day or two or three, and then you bounce back, and it’s all over,” Al-Aly says. But as a growing number of studies show that’s not always the case, he has concluded that “infections deserve respect.”\nThat means doing whatever possible to avoid catching and spreading them, he says, including by wearing a mask during periods of heavy transmission, getting all recommended vaccines, and staying home when you feel unwell.\"\nFact is, Viruses mutate and evolve all the time, until the day scientists manage to create universal (insert the name of any known viral agents) vaccine,\nbooster vaccine is needed.\nThink of it as rehearsal for the body's immune system to familiarize and stay sharp, instead of gaining experience by going to full-scale war when the viruses invade the body and causing collateral damage (cytokine storm)." ], [ "I got Covid twice.

Stupid logic.\nAnd even if they don't build the HSR, the govt will never pay for \"free\" flights.\nIf they built the HSR (which will use private funding too obviously), we actually will have a low cost and highly efficient mode of transport to travel throughout peninsular Malaysia.", "low cost\nHsr =/= low cost", "This weekend tickets for Batik Airlines return flights to Singapore is >1000 RM. Malaysia airlines is 1500-2000 RM.\nHSR is going to pretty low cost compared to that.", "Yeah you're comparing XMAS tickets to regular priced tickets.\nAlso, RM50 that HSR's gonna have seasonal pricing too :P", "Not really.... Have you taken HSR in Taiwan/Japan. HSR should have pretty standard pricing. HSR supply can be a lot more elastic than flights, and can scale up to one train every 10 minutes. 1 train already has the capacity of at least 2 of the standard planes plying this route. High supply will guarantee to bring prices down, basic economics.\nIn Taiwan, after HSR came live, almost all the domestic flights in the country came to a halt because HSR was so efficient and low cost in getting people around. And Taiwan has even less population than Malaysia alone.", "Yes the taiwan hsr sith 57million ridership (10x our kl sg traffic) that needed taiwanese govt bailout", "Funny that you think Malaysia and Singapore won't hit that number easily when Malaysia + Singapore population is 39 million combined, while Taiwan only has 23 million people.\nYou're discounting all the interstates domestic travel within Malaysia and only counting existing flights. Clearly the demand is much higher given how much airlines can jack up the price for this route.\nInvestment in public infrastructure is always good for the economy in the long term.\nSure, you can save that little bit of money, which will go to politician crony companies or subsidize some shit. But 10 years later, nothing changes, economy still stagnant, things get more expensive and your subsidies can buy lesser goods.\nOr we can build the HSR, improve the economy, give more opportunities to our people to make more money instead of depending on government subsidies. Think long term.", "And hsr is the best opportunity for budget constrained msia when we have so many low lying fruits to solve like fixing our strugging traffic condition, our water infra, our rotting healthcare infrastructure, our shitting education system. Yes, totally monyet dihutan disusukan, bayi kat rumah mati kelaparan.\nHsr maybe a \"good\" project, but it is top shelf stuff. We have lower shelf shit to solve", "HSR is only part of the solution that a comprehensive transport roadmap should entail.\nTraffic planning, infrastructure improvement/expansion, last-mile integration, employee benefits, and telecommuting are all part of a master plan as to how we fix low-lying fruit.\nThat's why you have ministers in place to lead policy-creation to improve transport, health, infrastructure and education. I've mentioned before but governments provide essential services and public infrastructure that are not meant to be profit-making in and of themselves, the profit comes by enabling economic sectors, from taxation of business/sales as people travel (work/tourism/travel), the expansion of business and homes into under-developed towns/cities and revitalization of core city districts close to transport networks.\nIn that sense, P2P airlines only work to serve the points that airlines are willing to fly to. Sure, you could fly from Melaka to Seletar and vice-versa but it wouldn't be profitable but a HSR that goes KL-Tanjong Pagar within 1.2 hours with a 5min stop in Melaka would make so much more sense since the train is a fixed rail that would stop along the way anyway if it was planned as such.", "you talk like ETS didnt exist.\nETS replace the role of HSR. We dont need HSR when we are building ETS to south.", "Obviously he is biased", "Obviously he is dumb. If only HSR stop at KL and does not take into account further economical benefits including train to BKK.

The key thing is to avoid converting.\nIf you plan to live in malaysia for the rest of your life, you will have a tough time explaining to LHDN when they see you getting more money than your income from undisclosed sources, so even if you do well offshore and do the stupid thing of buying a merc, they will start to question where your money come from.\nAlso at times other currencies can go crazy too so your foreign investments arent as secure as you think. Its not about investing in US because many currencies move in opposite direction to the dollar. Today RM is weaker than dollar, tomorrow when world peace happens it can end up being the opposite. When the world is doing better, the dollar drops and suddenly your $ isnt worth as much and you may have just lost a few % of your investment. This is the danger with currency.

I'll just have to reduce it to a TL;DR and spare the gory details. Funny thing is I never had any inside scoop at all. It happened because I was at the right place at the right time, or rather, the wrong place at the wrong time.\nVery basically, I was supposed to meet up with my sister and another girl for a couple drinks. I couldn't make it due to work so they went on their own. My sister's involvement pretty much ends here. They met a very sus rich af old European man (lots of details here that make him sus af). Basically he got the girl (not my sister but he did try, my sister just had better judgement) blackout drunk and tried to send her home. I insisted I send her back instead because I don't know him, and I did. She was so out of it that she tried to be very sexual with me in the car on the journey back home, but I was so uncomfortable with the added fact that the creepy old fuck was gonna send her home instead and he would've 100% taken advantage of her.\nI told the girl not to keep in touch with the man but she went against my advice. He bought all kinds of things for her and even an expensive condo she could stay at, and she fell for jt. She ignored all the red flags I told her and even got a job with him and convinced herself that it was to be a normal job, and for a while she gaslighted me into believing it too. A couple months in, she had to quit because she couldn't take it anymore. She finally told me that she had witnessed acts that were sexual in nature on local girls her age or younger ordered by older rich foreign men who were business associates of the guy she chose to work with.\nTo this day she refutes that the man himself had anything to do with what his business associates were doing, and refutes that anything was done to her personally. I'm convinced she still hasn't told me the entire truth about what happened and the gory details of what she saw or possibly went through herself, because in some ways she knows I'd be very fucking pissed and go out of my way just to raise hell for this man, even if it'd be futile since he's in a powerful position.\nThe man in question is an old, darker-skinned European dude in his 50s who has done business in Malaysia for a long time, and has an Italian name. He's worth hundreds of millions or possibly billions and has the title of Datuk (most likely honorary). He's low-profile.

He got a haircut in my absence. After lunch in the mall, the first thing he did when we got back was to lie flat on his belly, spread his arms on the bed, and tell me to do the same, but on top of him. We were stacked on the bed like two blood bags in a blood bank. \"This is the closest you can physically get with anybody,\" he stated.\nIt was a new position to me, but I liked it all enough that we stayed like that for a long time, talking. I let my weight sink into his body, sharing our warmth in the cold bedroom. \"It was a long day,\" I said and sighed, blowing air to the rosy back of his neck. \"I needed this.\"\nDid you know there's a loneliness epidemic among gay/bisexual men? The older we get, the further we drift apart from people we know. They start getting married, having children, etc. He confessed to me that this time of the year– Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's– is hard on him. He's a digital nomad. He hasn't been home in New York since 2018.\nHe's beautiful. He's Italian-Irish, so he has these pale blue eyes framed by striking dark lashes and eyebrows. One look was all it took to stun me... He's messy. He scatters his things around the tiny apartment. He doesn't care about laundry. He reminded me a lot of myself. We had too many things in common. He grew up with a father who wasn't kind enough. He didn't have friends at school. He's left-handed. He's drifting from country to country without a final destination. We read and write.\nI think I've asked him more times than what was appropriate whether he was okay. We'd sit on the couch and he'd rest his head on my shoulder and I'd run my fingers through that head of salt-and-pepper hair. I thought and worried for him the same way I worry for myself-- Honey, will we make it in this life? Honey, don't kill yourself.\nHe knows I have a long-term boyfriend. And I never ask him about his other encounters. He even let me go on his phone but I rejected it. I didn't need that. But we toyed with the idea of a future together. We both agreed that neither of us was in a position to care for a serious partner. But I was reminded by what a fellow countryman of his said, Steven. Steven said that I should try dating short-distance instead of only meeting men when I travel overseas. So this was it. I was doing what he told me to do. And it felt good.\nI said to the American, I think I could do this tomorrow, next week, and for the rest fifteen years. I'd get a job and we both would try to fend for ourselves and build a home together. New York's expensive, I said. How about North Carolina? He joked once, saying we could get married in Vegas. I asked him what his ring size was. He said, \"Fuck if I know.\" I am a size 11, and we compared our hands and I said probably 15.\nI revealed to him that when I turned 25, it finally hit me, and I understood and slowly accepted that I am not immortal. One day everyone I love will be gone, and then I'll be gone. We don't have forever. At first, this concept was depressing, and then it was humbling. It's true what they say about men-- one day they wake up and everything's different. They finally realize how silly they've been. But I feel like I keep waking up, you know?\nBeing with him felt like home. We both agreed that I was going through infatuation and that the strong feelings would tarnish and fade, but he also said it was okay to be infatuated. Everything was okay. But I think I know now what I want in life. A domestic life. I'm ready to sacrifice and give up all the sugar daddies, the wanderlust, the alcohol and drugs... To make a trade, trading excitement for familiarity. Yes, there are no guarantees. I asked him if there was ever a thing in this life that didn't have an ending, and he said no. But we can try. Can't we? He said I'd make a good husband.\nWe were in bed later that night watching American talk shows, it was funny and playful. Part of his culture. Then I read the news and he went on Duolingo to keep his streak and I must have dozed off because I woke up with him wrapped around me so tight, our limbs entangled in a mess, clothes strewn across the bedroom floor, and I was glad, I was so glad to be alive and not be alone, and to have him, this beautiful man, this kind man, this friend. I immediately went to class and took my walk of shame, his apartment was nearby. We kissed goodbye and I said I'll be back.\n\"What we have is the opposite of a nine-to-five,\" he said.\n\"You're my other nine-to-five,\" I said and chuckled." ], [ "What are some malaysian food/kuih that's easy to make?

So I bet where you fill is a scam because most of air is nitrogen.\nSure mine aren't performance tyres but not everyone can afford a lot of money for high performance tyres.

Since banks and financial institutions are the ones giving out and approving all the credits options (be it credit card or instalment or whatever), they should be the trusted middleman in all transactions. Credit card companies for example should vet their customers before giving them the cards (Stable income + good credit score) and also giving them the appropriate amount of credit (eg. RM1,500 salary don’t need a RM10,000 limit)\nAnd then using their apps the banks can do something like quizzes or tasks to educate the customers. After completing certain tasks, they get rewards like points or cash back. (Insurance companies can do the same thing, if you walk 5km everyday for a week then you get some points)\nThis way customers can get educated and use their cards wisely.

However, I plan to spend the entire weekend focusing on jewelry shopping, dedicating both Saturday and Sunday to it instead of clothing. I appreciate how the jewelry shops at Pavilion are all on one level, making things more convenient. In KLCC, there are some jewelry stores in the center of the mall, like a booth, which means they have limited space to display their products. I might just focus on Pavilion KL Mall.\nAlso, I don't particularly like Pandora either, to be honest. It seems more geared towards teens or middle to low-income young adults, I guess.", "Habib is good.

If you're looking for the best of the best, of course, it's Tiffany, but there are also other options like Cartier or Van Cleef & Arpels. You're mostly paying for the brand and craftmanship with these brand, as the price of gold is much lower and so are diamonds and other jewels.\nI really don't know your tax bracket but the fine quality of Tiffany's can only be appreciated by a very trained eye.\nIf you're looking for something to last a long time, actually go for a lower carat gold (18k) as they're more durable, and avoid fancy gemstones, as they are softer. The design has to be simple, not trendy, because trends come and go. Also, avoid white gold, as white gold is often rhodium-plated and need touch-ups.", "Ah, I see. Thanks for clarifying that. Here in AUS, we usually consider the price range for Habib jewelry as low quality and the price range for Tiffany & Co as high quality, so apologies for any confusion and misunderstanding. I'm not an expert in jewelry, which is why I always purchase from top brands within my price range for reliability. Can't go wrong with that rule xD.\nI'll definitely keep your info on the 'lower carat gold (18k)' in mind since I am buying from Malaysia, not Australia, and I don't want anyone taking advantage of my lack of knowledge, haha. Long-lasting and top-notch quality are what I'm after.

That is what I dislike the most. The idea that a country is able to enforce religion on someone. It is not right. Countries only have jurisdiction on the earthly realm, and not the spiritual one. They are in no position to make someone follow religions, its up to the person to do it, and whatever consequences of it, if any, is all on the person.\nI believe the idea that a person is thrown in jail or even handed punishment by other humans because of religion is not only a waste of time, its also quite arrogant to believe that someone has the authority to enforce god's will on other humans, despite being a human themself. Who is to say the person is just or is just using the religious texts to punish someone?\nMalaysia can still be an Islamic country without morality police, There is a difference between an Islamic country where most of the people there follow Islam, and an Islamic country where Islamic law is subject to some or even all people. If you think I am biased against Muslims countries only, youre wrong, I rag on christian nationalists and theocracies like Vatican city, as well as the Hindu nationalists in India using Hinduism to persecute the minority Muslims in India.\nTL:DR - secular pls religious enforcement kinda cringe", "I'm not sure why practices from other religions seem to concern you. When you mentioned Islamic law, were you implying it affects you directly? My understanding is that Sharia law applies primarily to Muslims. It's best if each religion handles its own matters, and the same principle should apply to all religions. This approach promotes harmonious coexistence.", "While Malaysia is up there in terms of religious freedoms if we are measuring by only Muslims countries, its not the best it can be. For example, did you know that religious freedom does not extend to Judaism? Having the Torah or being identified as practicing Judaism will get you arrested? it is not a recognized religion. This is due to Malaysia conflating Jews with Zionists. Even Indonesia did not do this mistake. Malaysia makes it close to impossible to convert from Islam, mandating that all malays must be muslim or they wont be legally be recognized as one. Freedom of religion also means the freedom to leave a religion too.\nThe biggie is when it comes to social stuff, as it affects non malays too. Due to the laws of Malaysia now, im essentially not allowed to marry a malay unless I want to destroy EVERYTHING i know and have a institution breathing down my neck on spiritual matters. This basically killed the nyona people group as nobody in hell is gonna date a malay person now due to the laws.\nI also find it odd that a country must baby the muslim population by following the faith for them (telling them what to do under threats of fines and or jail if they fail islamic duties). Some people are born into a Muslim family. They never had a choice of religion. And if they just dont feel a connection to the faith, they are fucked, they are forced by the government to conform to the religious rules.\nThis is also a second reason why there is lesser intermarriage with malays with other races groups, its because while one may geuninely feel a connection to islam and wish to convert, thier kids wont have the choice they did, they are robbed of it. At least in Indonesia, the kid can choose its faith when it comes to parents of differing faiths.\nTheres so many \"muslim on paper\" people out there, some born into it or converted and realized \"shit this isnt for me\" and realized they are trapped.\nAll this can be solved without government interfering with religion, religion should not be given governmental power, only being allowed to manage thier own matters under associations such as a mosque commitee or a church commitee or a temple commitee.\nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_religion_in_Malaysia", "I think you’re missing some key points. First off, the issue with Judaism in Malaysia isn’t as simple as you make it sound. Yes, there are tensions, but it’s more about politics than religion. It’s not fair to say that practicing Judaism will get you arrested, that’s an oversimplification. Regarding the conversion from Islam, yes, it’s challenging, but it’s not unique to Malaysia. Many countries with a state religion have similar restrictions. It’s not ideal, but it’s also part of a larger cultural and historical context that you can’t just ignore. As for your point about marriage and the Nyonya community, I think you’re exaggerating the situation. Yes, there are legal and social pressures, but it’s not like nobody’s marrying Malays anymore. People make it work, and cultural dynamics are slowly shifting.\nAnd this idea that the government is ‘babysitting’ Muslims - come on, it’s more about maintaining cultural norms than controlling every aspect of religious life. Sure, there are aspects that could be more liberal, but it’s not as oppressive as you’re painting it.\nLastly, about secularism - sure, it sounds good in theory, but you can’t just apply a one-size-fits-all solution to every country. Malaysia’s identity is closely linked with Islam, and any changes to that need to be gradual and respectful of the existing culture. From your wiki source , almost 70% of the country population is Muslim, personally do you think other religions having hard time in Malaysia???\nSo, while I get your concerns, I think you’re overlooking the complexities of the situation. It’s not black and white, and comparing Malaysia to Indonesia or any other country doesn’t give the full picture." ], [ "Christmas just ask people who celebrate it to sing , don't ask us Muslim to join the choir or something like it .

Then that means at some point in time, God changed his mind. But how can a changeless entity change? That would be a contradiction.\nThe conclusion to that, then, is that the universe is eternal and uncreated. You will need to either discard your idea that all things need to have been created, or revise your conception of the Creator.", "I believe your argument hinges on the notion that 'to create' implies intentionality or sentience. If we remove this implication, leading to a conclusion that centers on the existence of a First Cause, what would your response be?", "If we remove the implication of intentionality and say that the Creator unintentionally created the universe, then that begs the question: what was the Creator doing that led to the creation of the universe as a side effect?\nFurthermore, if you say that the Creator unintentionally created the universe, wouldn't that mean you're saying that the Creator made a mistake? Wouldn't that mean He is not perfect?\nIf so, then it's simple enough to argue: the universe was created by an imperfect Divine Creator, who at some point of time changed His mind and decided it'll be neat to have a universe. Of course, the notion of an imperfect Creator would not be kindly accepted by Abrahamic theologians 😅", "back up.\nHow do you reconcile the two premises that I have if your conclusion doesn't suggest the existence of a First Cause?", "As I understand it, your argument is:\nlike all things, the universe needs to be caused (created) by something. And if it is created, then it has a finite age.\ntherefore, the universe is created by a First Cause, which is the Divine Creator\nSo when you say \"the universe is created by a Divine Creator\", first I want to know if He is perfect - like the Abrahamic God, or not (like the Greek pantheon). We are at this stage. Depending on your response, I would give different arguments:\nif you say \"the Divine Creator is perfect\", then I have already argued how a perfect Creator couldn't create the universe without compromising His perfectness.

Also, what is your position on the concept of free will?\nNot trying to be a debating partner btw, but more of suggesting things could also be examined.", "Good question.\nI personally believe that there is no such thing as 'random'. What we perceive as 'random' is simply due to our lack of understanding of the why and how of certain events.\nFor example, when you throw a die, the number it shows is influenced by several factors: how you held the die, the force exerted upon its release, the flatness of the surface it contacts, and possibly some airflow factors. These causes are not random by themselves, but their complexity makes predicting the results difficult, thus creating the illusion of 'randomness'.\nI think free will might be off topic when it comes to discussing creation.

Its one thing to demand a counterargumen that disproves your premises (especially as, at the end of the day, you’ll be the author of the book) but I’d imagine its significantly more challenging to prove them yourself.\nOn Free Will - I think free will would be a natural extension of your premises - if everything that exist is the result of a cause, and the root cause is the Creator, then if a couple wish to concieve/concieves a child, then should the decisiom to comcieve be attributed to the influence of the Creator? And if so, then does that mean that the said couple had no agency?", "well my book is not gonna be about either of those though - I'm not gonna delve on those as I'm not making the case for the existence of God or even a Creator per se.\nIt is making a case for the existence of the First Cause.

Why bullying is so prevalent though.about SKM Pengkalan Chepa 2\n\"A typical day at one of these boarding schools reads like a page from 1984, where every aspect of living is rigidly controlled and people are treated like numbers.
