in that case, since you want to duck the actual substantive discussion around your position where you from how did you find us etc
Make an intro thread All of us, when we were new users to the site, were required to make an intro thread It's a rite of passage
My wife’s sister lives in OC / Newport Beach. Said this weekend was fully back to open and she was looked at funny wearing a mask. Said most weren’t.
I live in Manhattan Beach. It’s 100 percent in lines and in stores, I’d say 50/50 on the beach and the Strand (basically a boardwalk). Was relatively impressed by the social distancing on the beach — there were lot of people but most were in small groups (6 at most) and spread out.
I am happy to discuss it. But recognize I am a new visitor and this seems to be a sensitive topic. So happy to let it go.
Newport and Manhattan are different vibes. You also get a lot of OC dude-bros and 909ers (inland empire) folks there.
I have step family that thinks this way. Still do, even after my cousin tragically committed suicide after years of obvious cries for help and family response being “go to church, seek God”. I don’t really associate with that side of my family at all and little I could have done thousands of miles away sadly. Never had a real relationship with him or them.
When you believe the next life is the tits, you don’t give a fuck what happens on this life, and therefore don’t try and change it for the better.
psa: OneBlood and many other blood donation centers have started offering antibody testing on any donation. Go donate blood, get a t-shirt and find out if you had coronavirus.
Wait a second pperc, I hope to sweet jesus himself you are not seriously giving President Trump any credit for doing a good job.
Funny story - went to go get gas and went inside to grab something to drink. Typical Austin drifter walks out of convenience store to grab something on his bike. I go to pay and pull down my mask for a split second to scratch my nose. Drifter walks back in, sees this, and about has a heart attack and refuses to come back in the store. This is the world we live in now folks
A person is more likely to catch Covid without wearing a mask than they are to stop a mass shooting by having a gun but yet only one of those is seen as an infringement on their “rights”.
Pretty long but good thread on virus’ in general. Explains things in a way that normal people can understand and gives a real reason why a vaccine can end this when it comes.
Can someone repost the contract tracing video that I think was posted here within the last couple days?
Airlines stopped travel from China, governors did everything else. Please tell us what Trump did, always curious to get the far right’s perspective.
This is true and one of the weirdest subplots about this timeline is old white dudes thinking they can say or do whatever they want to POC because their hero "tells it like it is". I can't wait for these dudes to catch that one delivery dude fed up with his shitty job and deciding he's going to feed these idiots their asses.
Interesting, doubt I ever had it but I was going to donate blood again soon but it would be through the Red Cross. Don't think they're doing this though but that is a good incentive.
