i tried calculating how much wealth bezos would have by the time you could catch up to how much he has now (about 2.8 million years time)

assuming he makes around 78 billion a year vs an average us wage, it spat out 2.198E17 which i assume means he will be god emperor of mankind and will have a value best expressed via fractal

I have just opened some junkmail that contained a belvita soft bake w choc chips

It was good, but how likely am I likely to die now. It sat on my doormat for 2 days.

I don't want to die just yet. Today is my birthday, am going round parents this arvo to have a bbq.

I hope I make it until after that atleast.

if youd bought it you might not eat it for like over a week so a couple of days seems fine? the storage recommendations for this product say a cool, dry place, so by doormat do you mean inside or out? and if out would it be in full sun?

to be honest I think this is unlikely to be the cause of your death

happy birthday

With sunglasses, it's not that pronounced and kinda just looks like they've been nudged maybe, but wearing a mask you can clearly see that my ears (and I guess whole head) is lopsided, it's like a big uneven spirit level across my face.

Also, what are we to do about Adolf Trumps meteoric rise to fascist dictatorship from here in the uk?

Oh hay lock-life-crisis buddy, I'm turning 38 in a couple weeks and also in the middle of a big life laundry list. In a way lockdown has helped me make some big decisions (or at least work out the actions i need to take towards working out exactly what decisions i need to make), now i just need to start *taking* those actions.

Just done the big shop in Tesco, I would estimate that at least 80% of shoppers weren't wearing a mask.

Went to M&S afterwards for a few bits and bobs and it was the same in there.

People being stubborn right up until the last day? Or is this going to be how it is as of tomorrow? Because whether people in this thread like it or not, I'm not going to keep my mouth shut if I see someone walking towards me without a mask on when shopping.

My last two shops (lidl and co op in Edinburgh) were 100% masked as far as I could see. I'd be interested to see how it varies by location, size of store etc

I suspect the voluntary takeup and enforcement of masks in shops around here will be the same as on public transport. Basically zero. Do whatever you want. Nothing is real.

the government/media have basically been building up the idea that you don't really have to wear a mask for ages now. everytime it's mentioned they always say it's not going to be enforced and that you shouldn't question or do anything about non-mask wearers because of disabilities.

So I was working in aisle 7 of Tescos and no one was wearing masks so I went up to everyone and farted in their childrens faces, absolute blasters too - smelt like a rotting whale carcass on a beach, and then I went on the PA system and did a speech about how everyone should wear masks because its the right thing to do and everyone broke into applause and Gina the sexy bakery girl made out with me and let me gently caress her in the butt and then Einstein said congrats

NO MERCY, ONLY PAIN :black101:
My company is trying to say that we all had a week of holiday during furlough so they're paying us 20% of 5 days of holiday ha ha ha my boss is a liar a thief and a oval office

I am aware that this is most likely illegal what they're trying to do so hopefully we get it all sorted

complaining at people won't help to be honest. the best thing to do is just to make it clear that you're avoiding them and are uncomfortable with their lack of masks but in a polite way.

i think the best thing everyone can do is just wear a mask themselves. people who don't are gonna feel very silly when everyone else is.

I really hope a load of Tory voting small business owning gently caress heads who do poo poo like this get thoroughly shafted by HMRC

Today I had a training seminar so I put up a roller blind in my room while in mute. Managed to cut the blind wonkey like always, but passable. Soon my gooncave will be complete and I will have no need for the outside world

I've seen a lot of Facebook comments on my local news pages from people who are going to refuse to wear a mask on the grounds that the government have told them they have to.

Now I think the Tories have really hosed the dealing of the pandemic and it's probably a case of "too little, too late" but I'm still going to wear a mask while shopping because I'm not a oval office, not because it's the rules.

I can't blame you for that, I'd been WFH for a week or so before lockdown. I'm now nearing the end of week 20 and am considering feeding myself to the dog.
