Expired tests can produce false positives. Discovered this through some testing on a quiet day at work. Worth re-testing!The first person in my family to come down with it took an old expired home Covid test and it was positive.

I've been in this situation many times. They'll keep doing it as long as they think they can keep doing it. It's best to just speak up or put your foot down and tell them no. It isn't wrong to stand up for yourself when you're not even at fault. Just stay in control of your emotions. People who take advantage of you and treat you that way aren't even worth it, even family.snip
That doesn’t sound nice of your mother. Your online friends still count. You still have this apple you can talk to.My mom told me about a week ago that I have no friends, and her words cut deep because I honestly don’t. She was asking me to name one friend that I have aside from the one that she introduced me to, and I couldn’t.
My lack of friends never really bothered me until she commented on it. It made me realize that I haven’t really formed any meaningful connections. I’m friendly with people on the forums, of course, but I don’t actually speak to anyone on the forums, outside of the forum.
She felt the need to add that ‘online friends don’t count.’
I know it’s always nice to have one or two people to talk to, but I haven’t found that person yet, so it would be great to not have to feel bad about it because of comments made by my mother.
That, and some of these “freedoms” aren’t even freedom. They can’t claim that they’re fighting for freedom of speech when they’re fighting for the right to use hate speech and misinformation without getting in trouble. They can’t claim that they’re fighting for free market economics when they’re fighting for no regulations or restrictions on businesses and economics. They can’t claim that they’re fighting against abuse of federal power when they’re defending terrorists like Kyle Rittenhouse, Mark Houck, and the Jan 6 Rioters. Even a world of true freedom has rules outside the bare minimum of “don’t hurt anyone”.I can’t believe that republicans are all about freedom but they only care about rights for themselves.
