Beside,it's still a mandate here to wear masks while in public. Should be most places, but a few whiny, entitled jerks are pissing in the pool with their out-sized political voices. I worry for folks like my dad who catches every respiratory illness that goes around. He doesn't go out very often at all, but when he has no choice he's putting himself in greater danger all because some folks want the freedom to put him in the grave.

Should be most places, but a few whiny, entitled jerks are pissing in the pool with their out-sized political voices. I wonder if folks that refuse to wear masks (to play devils advocate, I've been in situations when I forgot or didn't think I'd be going into a store and had no mask) just feel "weird" or awkward so their gut tells them to dig in and make a stink about it, touting freedom and rights. We all know Asian countries have no such disdain for keeping themselves and others safe and healthy! (of course, that is just so productivity does not go down ) Personally I keep my outings to a minimum and wear a mask when I do, more out of respect for the employees and other shoppers. When I read of click-bait of customers that raise holy hell about not being able to goto Costco, I just think...who put a gun to their head and force them to goto Costco? (I only hit Costco for propane anyhow, and that is mostly taken care of outside near the tire dept) ...if "whiny, entitled jerks" didn't have masks to bitch about, they'd be complaining about rising cost of retro games OR the fact that no one will sell them a CIB stupidentendo rarez to complete thier 100% set.

Yeah you got some people that are not taking this pandemic seriously.Sadly enough,then again i've gotten use to wearing one so i don't have a problem with it.I haven't gone out much and i try to keep it to a minim at least,i haven't seen anyone yet without a mask.Crazy enough our governor here is now being sued over this lock down.

Yeah, this virus totally stressing out. At first I thought it was a common seasonal flu, but now I am sure it is not. Some people got sick with complications, some were much less fortunate. The worst thing is the effect this shit will have on the economy. But we are going to have to live with that anyway. And just so you know, now you have the opportunity to take your anger out on this goddamn coronavirus, take revenge on it, stomp it into the ground. Just try this ROM for the NES. I scored 279 points, but this is probably not the limit. I hope everything turns out all right and I do wish you all health. MultiDefender2020.nes (64.01 KB)

Man, that looks like a spam post. Ahhh, you're always such a tough critic, Zeta! Multidefender2020 is worthy of promotion (unless it has micro-transactions, ha!)

I don’t mean that promoting the game, whatever it is, qualifies as spam. I just meant that the post reads like a bot wrote it.

BACK ON TOPIC: Things have gotten worse in NYC/NJ in a very "tangible" way... ANECDOTE: So, a few days ago, the school district and county health department here in NJ (Morris County) basically scolded a (hopefully) small group of selfish parents for not following rudimentary rules, hanging up on contact-tracers, lying to the school nurses, etc. etc. As a result, schools have gone all-remote, again... now, I want my kids 100% remote, so this does not affect me, but I do feel bad for the parents/kids who were sending their kids to school. And, of course, I feel bad for the teachers/school staff who have to deal with this (parents lying to keep their kids in classroom). ANYWAY, the reason I shared this story is because I loved reading a letter that was basically scolding parents the way a Dean might scold a child for misbehaving. Ha!

Yeah, fuck those people.
Learning at our school has been remote so far all year. When surveyed some people want in-person but not many. Some will want to go in-person for second semester but I’m pretty sure/hopeful that’s going to be shut down.
Yesterday in class I heard a 5 year old tell me that her mother is staying in a room by herself 24/7 with a mask on because she’s positive. I have zero patience for people not taking this seriously.
My girlfriend is cardiac nurse who’s wing has been turned into a COVID unit. It’s basically filled to the rafters will people too stupid to wear masks so all these nurses now have to wear PAPR devices and nearly shrink wrap themselves to not get sick. And these idiots don’t want to answer a few questions on the phone? Yeah, fuck them.
