My neighbors had a huge party yesterday. Probably two dozen people there. It’s a shame; I used to think they were nice folks, but apparently they have brain worms. I dunno. I’m a broke brained computer toucher so staying at home (more or less) for indeterminate lengths of time just doesn’t bother me. I can’t empathize with a need to socialize that’s so pressing that you engage in self destructive behavior.

I saw a goat IRL once; does this confer immunity against the virus?

Bronze Fonz posted:I've been growing my hair since I was about 16 and I only have to grab the end of my pony tail, grab scissors and chop off the part that's too long every now and then. For me, the whole "want a haircut" thing is more "my bangs are in my eyes, it's growing over my ears, and goddamn it I actually have to COMB this poo poo before I go outside rather than it being a fraction of an inch long like God intended." But, y'know, I just deal with it. Looking like a hobo has never been more socially acceptable. I think.

Sir Not Appearing posted:I love an ice cold Mt Dew as much as anyone else, but it's going to be a long time before I touch a fountain drink again. Good luck. Yeah, same. I feel like this pandemic is going to induce a bunch of hypochondriac behavior for years to come. Sort of like how survivors of the Great Depression had hoarding instincts that lasted for much longer than the actual depression lasted.

Saw a big line outside a barber shop when I was driving around yesterday. No masks. In close proximity. Never been more thankful for having a 100% remote computer toucher job.

Bleusilences posted:Why a line? Can't they get appointment? Eh, if I've got nothing else to do I'll just wait at the barber shop for my turn. But, y'know, that's when there's NOT a global pandemic.

Big Beef City posted:are you aware that whether you like it or not states are opening up and people are going to be going to utilize services they haven't been able to for a long rear end time, leading to lines, such as this? It's one thing for a state to "open up," but another for people to actually do the dumb things. I guess some of us held out hope that people had at least some degree of rationality and sense. I'm not sure what we were expecting.

Big Beef City posted:What possible reason or thought process drove you to think "nope, THIS time these people here in my area will act in their own best interest without guidance"? Because I've got bad news for you about drat near literally every single possible choice given to any group of people ever. Misguided faith in the long-term survival of mankind, I guess. I really want to believe we can make it. This is despite all evidence to the contrary. I am not a smart man, but I figure if I can do stuff, everyone else can too. It baffles me when everyone else just can't. By all metrics they should be more capable than I am.

Remember to hanitize your mitts after putting your PIN number into an ATM machine. Those things are filthy, and for all intensive purposes you could catch the rona.

AreWeDrunkYet posted:See, this is the kind of thing that's hard to understand. Most large companies with remote-capable office workers are taking a wait and see approach because there's no good reason not to be risk averse here. By delaying the best case scenario is they don't get a bunch of sick people (or people with sick families, which is going to distract them and will often cost the employer in healthcare costs). Worst case scenario, the employees are a bit less productive at home for a few more months. The psychology at play here is a mix of "if I can't see my employees doing work, they aren't doing work" and "my personal fiefdom is depopulated; I need to get them back here so I can personally oversee their yoke."
