Here's what I've learned during an eight week seige in my basement: Minnesotan Illini is less crazy than I thought.

Old 97 is no less crazy than I thought.

Judy is exactly as stupid as, and more easily provoked than I thought.

You guys suck at quarantine.

I learned how to effectively dice onions. I learned how to stake tomatoes instead of caging them, and how to get better germination of lettuce and basil. I learned my closet would be a lot less annoying if I got rid of my 1989 Alpha Gam Barn Dance T-shirt and hundreds of other pieces of sentimental stuff I'll never need. I learned how to clear the downhill stairs on my local Mountain Bike run. I learned how to get the woodpeckers to stop trying to bust into my attic. I learned how to beat my kid at Magic the Gathering, and how to "do a carry in ROBLOX" at his behest. I learned I my father-in-law is a pretty good Euchre player once he figured out this whole online thing. I figured out how to cook at least a dozen really good dishes.

Instead of watching FOX or Colbert or Trevor Noah, find something useful. Youtube has a lot of really cool stuff on it.

I love Youtube but wish there was a way of filtering out viral nonsense and that their "recommended videos" algo wasn't a piece of hot shit.

Unfortunately lots of science misinformation and conspiracy theory videos on YouTube.

Good question

Because the Constitution is not a suicide pact?

I'm disappointed in you PAM!  Also disappointed that its come down to ruining the economy for decades or killing a few unhealthy boomers is now a political football

I fucking hate election years and this one has been far and away the worst!!!

'killing a few unhealthy boomers'

selfish as fuck.  pathetic.

Good question

It's incredible how proud people are on the Internet to display how fucking stupid they actually are.  Jesus Christ.

The Constitution doesn't protect from American citizens' abject stupidity.

Every single person advocating this kind of nonsense should be held directly accountable for the increased deaths that are absolutely coming as a result of this.  Selfish, shameless, small-dick motherfuckers.

deaths are coming (and going) no matter what you peckerhead... its a fucking virus, since we don't have a vaccine the only thing we can do to fight it is with our immune systems.  There is literally nothing you can do to stop the spread... not a god damn thing, especially with the half assed attempts here in the US

yeah close down everything but grocery stores, and oh yeah, everyone still go there and spread disease there, oh lets close down the lakefront so when people go outside they can only go a few places... fucking brilliant, oh but wear a mask even though Fauchi said not to, what a fucking clown show

and with governors in the hardest lockdown areas suppressing antibody data is it any surprise that common sense is not prevailing at this time?

I guarantee nearly everyone here has already been exposed to this virus and their immune system did their job and defeated it, or had mild symptoms...  someday, that data will come out but probably not until these economy ruining dipshits get re-elected

sure

and its easy to say 'who gaf' when its not you and your family dying

because you are a selfish human being

when its your family dying get back to me about how you don't care about a few unhealthy boomers itsa more important to get my fucking haircut

until then really, shut the fuck up.  or don't, keep posting ridiculous shit because the bad people who pull your strings tell you to - i'll keep pointing out that those views are selfish and bad.

i hope every single person in this thread who is arguing that the economy is more important than some old over the hill boomers has someone they love die from this.

that isn't in my character but unfortunately that seems to be the only way any of them will have compassion - they need it to be personal, they don't care if other people they don't know die.  that doesn't matter.

i had a close family member die from covid and it makes me fucking sick to see people acting this way, as if people over 70 don't matter and are gonna die soon anyway so who cares if we kill a few more so i can buy fertilizer for my lawn???

and if you're arguing those stances in this thread don't even fucking think about offering condolences.  you don't give a fuck and i don't want your fucking condolences.  if you gave a fuck about other people you would act and argue very very very differently.  you do not.

I don’t even have a television subscription, I’m usually outside until dark from spring until fall. I volunteered to help in the community with shut ins and peace meals and such. I live on a lake so I do a lot of kayaking and fishing as weather permits. I also have been continuing honing my cooking skills by sometimes making something entirely new to use up stuff in the fridge or freezer rather than going to the grocery. I also learned that I take haircuts for granted, I’m getting awfully close to having a full on Jeremiah Johnson look going on.

I love Youtube but wish there was a way of filtering out viral nonsense and that their "recommended videos" algo wasn't a piece of hot shit.

When I get a link to a recommended Hannity or Tucker clip, I'll open Incognito. Invariably, it's sponsored by the Epoch Times.

Thing I can't figure out is why they (Epoch Times) think anyone will be persuaded by a Russian guy, with an obvious Russian accent, who's pretending to be a regular American.

Worse is contemplating that Fox viewers might be.

If only there were a way to ignore sponsors similar to ignoring users.
