Coronavirus

Anyways now to get back to the topic that 'rona tho.

Here we currently have had the highest spike in 4 months. Bars and restaurants are unfortunately closing down. So I'm ordering pizza tonight.

It's an excuse that flies once, but falls apart when it goes from 1 instance to a pattern.

If you knew of my history with Whirly, you'd see it wasn't a pattern. At all.

I hate a lot of the things most of you say on this section of the board, but in the interest of fairness and Backfire being the default mod, I try not to get involved.

Rob, Whirly, Adam, Bash, you, DDM, TLR, Broly, you've all said shit I honestly find truly repugnant. But again, what offends me isn't what offends everyone else.

But you're the one being a hypocrite about it. Maybe if you actually reported shit more, that would help people see the offences you're talking about. So yes, "I didn't see it" is a valid answer no matter how much you try to hand-wave it away.

A dismissive cop-out answer doesn't work, and you're not fooling anyone.

The sad thing is Surt should be better than this, he is a truly likable guy when not pulling this shit imo.

Thanks.

Okay, I accept your cop out answer. I can only conclude it was such because you weren't reacting to someone reporting me earlier in the thread because there wasn't even some rule broken it was just me pointing out Rob shit stirring and you felt the need to make some silly comment about stones and glass houses. Good talk, moving on.

You won't move on though.

As long as the subject is dropped henceforth, I will 👆

If they feel the need to keep replying of course that will change.

But it's you that keeps bringing it up.

Nope responded to his post 👆

Now on to the topic, this virus is wreaking havoc and causing chaos. I went to the barber on Thursday. Now I've been going to this same guy for years. For that entire time he has charged $15, so I'd always just toss him a 20 and say keep the change.

Well Thursday I get a haircut. Afterwards I toss him a 20 and say keep the change. He goes "Well I can't, there is no change. I have to charge $20 per cut now due to covid losses". Well I only had a $20 on me lol. I was heading to a store afterwards and planned to get more money, he also only takes cash.

I felt bad being unable to leave him the customary tip, though he kept saying not to worry. I contemplated saying I would bring the tip by after I finished shopping, but I felt like he might get offended.

*smh*

He did say the prices were hopefully temporary.

lol, ok then.

Here, the anti-mask, anti-lockdown people are out in force. I wouldn't mind a peaceful protest if they were the kind of people that sanitised and socially distanced, but they're not.

And there's a weird undercurrent of racism in their protests too. And if it isn't that, it's about 5G.

Yeah, I can't think of a single protest in this country recently where they were social distancing.

Heck Washington DC has a limit on the number of people that can be at an outdoor gathering: 50

Yet last week the mayor allowed thousands to attend the women's march to protest Amy Coney Barrett.

So people see that and get pissed off cuz it seems they are selective in what is or isn't okay.

As much as I think people should oppose her being... promoted? Whatever the word is, there is a right way and a wrong way to do things.

Politicians holding rallies and needlessly exposing their staff and their supporters to shit doesn't help either.

They really could strike the right cord with this virus by saying no mass gatherings no matter what.

If a guy running his own business needs to close down his livelihood then surely people can abstain from a protest.

My cough has gotten worse, and I haven't smoked in a few days and I'm in a high risk area. Should I be worried?

Haha, so true and yes, I have said and done some very unpleasent things for lulzs in the past PR, no doubt and no excuses. I have for the most part stopped going that far and have apologised.

Hey, you still post things I don't agree with, but the joy of being a fully formed, rounded human being is that i don't have to agree with everything a person says to get along with them even a little.

Yes, but fingers crossed it's just a cough.

It was revealed today that here in Ireland, people coming in to the country (because flying during a pandemic is a great idea) aren't being tested upon arrival. WTF.

Hate how older people still come really close when talking to you. Keep your distance people.
