Reply to New evidence suggests little deterioration in mental health linked to the COVID-19 pandemic by ashenserena

r/publicfreakout says "nope".

6,817,431 people have died from COVID-19. The amount of grieving relatives and loved ones may far exceed that number. Depression brings on many other emotional and psychological states - then there are the survivors with long COVID-19 symptoms, so this study is far too weak in their results.

Reply to PA!! What is your creepiest and most unexplainable experience? by marvelousmim

Early 1970s I think 1973. I had just gotten a pair of new binoculars for my 13th birthday. I called my friend up and we went up the hill in my neighborhood (Plymouth Meeting) where they were building new homes there. From that vantage point one could view all of Plymouth Township and further south. It was a clear day and hardly any clouds in the sky, so perfect to view around the area and sometimes a small plane heading into or from Wings Field, an airport nearby. Then I saw something heading towards us about a mile away and a few hundred feet up. I realized it wasn't a plane, wasn't moving and wasn't making any sound either. The object was I say about 30 feet in diameter, a chrome silver disc, no windows. This object just hovered there in the air for five minutes. My friend saw it too. After that period of time it started slowly ascending and then in seconds silently shot upwards and vanished. Of course nobody believed us, nothing in the news of course, but whenever we get in contact over the years, my friend and I always reassure ourselves that we indeed saw an unidentified flying object.

Reply to PA Unemployment is depressing and should be reworked by DigitalDash18

How can it be 'outdated' when it was just "upgraded"?/s

I understand your pain, I as with many had to file when lock downs started and that was actually easy since I had gone through the old system before... then they "upgraded" to a new web site, had to start all over again and almost every step was a glitch in the new set up. Passwords didn't work, claims were not being processed. Spent days (WEEKS) on the phone to get $3,000 of claims stuck in the system.

Everyone who says 'this is how it is supposed to work because they want you to work' is correct. But "upgrading" during a pandemic was not a brilliant idea.

Reply to A warmer world is making storms transform rapidly into powerful hurricanes or typhoons in a single day, posing a huge challenge to weather forecasters. Stronger storms disproportionately risk lives and devastate homes and businesses, as Hurricane Ian did in Florida in September 2022. by Wagamaga

This recent snowstorm is another indication that even winter can become deadly and unusual, and some forecasters are predicting another massive one on the way this week. If you are traveling within the Northeast US, keep track of the weather.
