I was just in station square since we were out cycling and a car full of boomer ladies stopped to ask me how to use the gate card thing at the lot because they went to “the restaurant” and the card validation wasn’t working. Who the gently caress is dumb enough to eat out right now, today?

I told her it wasn’t my gate, I didn’t know, and she got all mad lol

I drove by both the ikea, and the mall when I was out grocery shopping today. Both parking lots were absolutely packed. :psyduck:

is it petty and cruel to wish that others who want to harm you fail and do it to themselves instead?

liquor wasnt on sale yet so thats the next trip. gonna stock our rye and add gin, tequila, rum, and i dunno maybe a premade mixed old fashioned from watershed distillery since we want to get ohio stuff to support places

so far weve started to try all the classic cocktail mixes and have a nice home bar going. its not like we want to go back to a real one and the money not spent is enough that we can buy good stuff and still be saving money even with our modest drinking

How widespread is trauma from Covid?

When we ran the pilot data in April, we found that nearly 90 percent of respondents had one or more traumatic stress symptoms. We’re seeing that 27 percent of respondents are meeting the Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder diagnosis. To put this in perspective: The national estimate is normally 5.3 percent. It’s 7.6 percent for servicemen who were deployed in Afghanistan and Iraq.
