Ms. Spam Posted April 25, 2020 Author Share Posted April 25, 2020 Dude. I just know that back in the day when we drug tested at Taco Bell I used to tell my employees that if they drank hand sanitizer solution they would pass the drug test. I would stop them before they drank it but stilllllllll.... people are dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 I used to joke about filling hand sanitizer bottles with vodka. Now you don't even have to hide alcohol to drink at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Krawlie Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Before all this happened my boss was talking about us doing a happy hour together. She even suggested, before the drinks (specifically before), that she'd take us all ax throwing. I was so excited. Now her idea is for us to play ****ing scattergories during one of our daily zoom meetings. Even if it's at 8 in the morning I might have to drink to get through that.

Destiny Skywalker Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Politics aside, the guy has got to stop thinking out loud during speeches. This consistently gets him picked on, just knock it off already. I'm a think out loud type but I know better than to speak up during a big formal meeting. That logic should apply to press conferences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceheart Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 The Week is now reporting that the Miracle Bleach Cure guy contacted Trump right before the press conference, and is calling Trumps bleach injection suggestion a major win for his cause. No one else is reporting on it that I can see... but I would not be surprised. Someone, I think it was John Oliver, pointed out that the chloroquine thing started just after a personality on One America News started touting the stuff as a miracle cure, so.

monkeygirl Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Jake Tapper's show this morning-he said he's running out of words to describe how dangerous the Trump administration is. He ended the show admonishing Trump's enablers that history will remember them as villains. The rhetoric from these shows can't get much more fantastic without venturing into MAGA territory.

Destiny Skywalker Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 They are re-opening state parks for day use only here on May 4th. I really don't think we are ready, but people are getting annoyed. I like the idea because the outdoors but they had to close the parks in the first place anyway because the trailheads were so crowded and people were not taking social distancing seriously. I'm predicting a small spike in cases, but hopefully nothing ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms. Spam Posted April 28, 2020 Author Share Posted April 28, 2020 I've been hiking more in the early morning hours around parks near my city. As long as I stay 6 feet away or more from people and walk it's fine. I'm not touching anything but the ground with the bottom of my shoes. I have been doing laundry every day though because my second job is an essential work job and I've been going in regularly in the evening and there's a lot of random stuff I can touch even though I have a specific desk only I can sit at. I wash my hands so much now too. It's good to get out and walk. But I think we're asking for more trouble if we reopen now. They finally expanded hours for my grocery store from 8 to 8 to 7 to 10 but they're limiting people and you have to absolutely wear a face mask. I don't know what's going to happen with schools. We're talking about staggered schedules and I could teach in the evening! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceheart Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 So far, we're still planning on the music festival I go to in September... but cautiously. Michigan just reopened garden centers and landscape services, so my dad went back to work on Monday, and I went to a garden center yesterday. There was a guard at the door making sure that every person in the store was wearing a face covering. And that's when I learned that I really need to keep multiple bandanas in my purse from now on.

Zathras Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 I have a friend who lives in the Detroit area. Is it true people will get arrested if they are caught by the police walking around in public? My friend says this is happening, and he is a cool guy, but he is also a conspiracy nut, in all honesty, so I am not sure what to believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeygirl Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 NO. Nobody has been arrested anywhere for just being in public. Not individuals, anyway. Some cities are issuing fines to gatherings. I take that back-I Googled it and found this. It seems like most of these types of laws, police are using it for offenders who may be doing a bit more than just being out in public: https://fox8.com/news/man-arrested-after-police-say-he-violated-governors-stay-at-home-order/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destiny Skywalker Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 I'm getting close to the point of losing friends over the dumb **** they post on Facebook about their freedom and how its about personal responsibility.Now today with that stupid Plandemic YouTube video.

Ms. Spam Posted May 7, 2020 Author Share Posted May 7, 2020 I have a lot of things in my feed where people are smearing Dr. Faucci. I haven't unfriended anyone but I wrote and deleted a lot of super snarky replies I ended up deleting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destiny Skywalker Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 I've had to bite my tongue with my husband's cousin. Their family is already touchy with each other so I decided to just unfollow instead of getting into anti-vaxxer arguments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerina Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 I would quit FB yesterday, but I really, honestly do get a lot of value from the groups that I'm in. I'm in a lot of parenting groups for other non-punitive and progressive Christian parenting (a very small subset of the parenting world on both fronts) and homeschool groups for the different philosophies and curricula that we use (tons of great ideas and advice and new resources). There just isn't much out there outside of FB that could replace either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms. Spam Posted May 8, 2020 Author Share Posted May 8, 2020 If I'm waiting on a class to start or a kid to provide a question I will troll facebook pages comments for NPR and some other sites.

Destiny Skywalker Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Yeah, I get too much benefit out of Facebook to quit, so I'm just muting people with consistently stupid opinions. I get tons of resources for Girl Scouts, Buy Nothing, community info, etc from Facebook. Its mostly a positive thing but occasionally the dumb sneaks in.
