Great, more politics. Some just can't help themselves...

I thought it was more humorous than political, my bad I guess. That said I'm about the only one on this board that hasn't engaged in political rhetoric and really have a distain for both sides of the aisle.

Some people just sit around waiting/wanting to be triggered, IMO.

That's okay.

Someone will just drop in about a month from now, make an arbitrary decision on what is and isn't acceptable at that specific time after indexing everything anyway, and just run it off without giving any details, regardless of any effort that's been put into discussion. It'll be the "guess the rules" game again.

Cheers,

I frequent a baseball forum also. There's a thread there with a lot of opposing posts. It's enough is enough, open things back up vs people might die, keep it closed forever if need be. The "people might die" side seems to be equal dems and repups. It seems everyone has lost all sight that people die from a wide verity of reasons. If I'm old, it's not a concern that I fall in the bathtub and die, but I'll be dammed if I die of COVID. It's looking now, with some of the testing, that this just isn't "THE END". Hence the pic from me.

It's not one side or another, in the end. It's humans being humans.

Some obey their orders and have found ways to entertain themselves. Some attend gatherings like the other I've photographed and then run around town doing as they please. It doesn't really matter what we think. Reality is, in fact, irrelevant in this circumstance. The concept is simple:

You've received orders. Obey them.

People just refuse to understand how the system is designed to adapt to things like this. We have that drop of a different government in our national DNA to get stuff done quickly when required. It works. It's not particularly fun, but on the same token...

I mean, aside from some financial hiccups which will be alleviated eventually one way or another, I rather like the changes that have happened. I think I mentioned that someone was down at Best Buy getting a phone, and they set it up outdoors on either end of a picnic table.

If you ask me, that's an improvement. :ROFLMAO:

Hopefully we'll get more outdoor markets and better respect of personal space out of all this. There can be silver linings if you really look around. I'll be glad to go a while without some half-dead nightmare hacking up a lung in a restaurant with nobody telling them to go home, anyway. Maybe people will get some better habits out of this.

Cheers,

You are living in a fucking bubble. We are fucking the future to take care of the now.


I don't worry about me, but I am very concerned for my kids, and their kid.

The way I see it, the future was set to suck already. The manner in which it ends up sucking is almost immaterial.

If someone is about to hit me with a baseball bat, I'm not overly concerned with which end they're using.

Everyone just needs to brighten the fuck up and stop blaming politics or your neighbor or whoever the fuck you want to blame the corona virus on. The sooner everyone stops pointing fingers the better off we'll all be. So no, it's not humorous, it's petty.

That's your opinion, and you're welcome to it. That doesn't make it right.
