ugh, i really hate the "if x during world war two, we/you would be speaking german" trope.
Right, how does anyone know we wouldn't be speaking Japanese?

Every time I see one of these Presidential events where Trump glorifies himself and then a whole parade of people follow, prostrating themselves at his feet in a horribly embarrassing way, I think about how unlike many of us, Americans never lived through the communism of 1945-onward, whether it be in Eastern Europe, China, etc.
Those of us who have know that this is exactly the sort of thing we were forced to watch, the "you are just tremendous, comrade!" bullshit. The difference is, if I think back to the 80s, we all knew it was bullshit and all rolled our eyes fully aware of the absolute incompetence and corruption at the top. We knew that it wasn't normal to have bread lines, we knew that our dilapidated infrastructure was 50 years inferior to that found in the West (at least), we knew that our economy was total shit and that we were being lied to at every turn.
But in the US, you have like 30-40% of the population not even recognizing that much. It's just beyond comprehension given that there isn't a media blackout, there is plenty of information that is not state-owned or directed. Only bad things can come of this and I have grave concerns about where we as a species go from here. If Biden wins, you think these men with their bazookas are going to congratulate him and move on with their lives?
.Yeah. Not all sides are "equal".I blame the media's relentless "both-siderism" for a lot of this. We show you both sides, YOU decide!
How about we fucking not and just listen to experts, recognizing that we don't know the knowledge or experience to "decide" what is true or real?
Oh, I hear you!I really want to punch him every time he throws that bullshit around. Operate warp speed and disappear Donnie. Disappear tremendously.
He can throw anything against the wall and his followers will believe it. They probably believe he'll create a vaccine too.
...well, there goes my appetite for the night, thanks.
The only group who is “missing out” on building immunity is comprised of young kids who go to daycare/preschool/kindergarten. My kids have never been this healthy for this long lol.
The rest of us aren’t building material immunity at age 40.
The FaceTime date didn’t go on much after that segment. She also didn’t understand why we were locked down when the hospitals weren’t stressed.
I've been wondering how/if people are dating these days.
I have an acquaintance who e-mailed me last week asking me to do her a favour (review the "voluntary separation" package her company is offering to her and let her know what I thought from a legal POV). I don't know her well enough to know much about her personal life except that she split up from her partner of 3 years late last year. Anyway, she tells me that she's carrying on with two affairs (both with married men) and that they are telling their wives that they're going out to get groceries/supplies for their parents when they come see her.
I'm sure she's not the only one. And then people wonder how this spreads.
“The way to keep your job is to out-loyal everyone else, which means you have to tolerate quackery,” says Anthony Scaramucci, an estranged former Trump adviser, who was briefly his White House head of communications. “You have to flatter him in public and flatter him in private. Above all, you must never make him feel ignorant.”
It's clear that quarantine fatigue is going to be a major issue, especially as the weather gets better... it's time to close down streets and relax open container laws so the inevitable is done safer.
Don’t spit, shower at home: Here are the new rules in MLB’s proposed plan for 2020 season
god this sounds so robotic and boring (insert "lol yah its baseball" joke here). i don't know if i'll be able to watch more than one game of this.
they might as well just simulate the season day-by-day on Out Of The Park Baseball and go over the results on sportscentre every night.
i hate pretty much everything about these bastardized plans for the leagues to hastily come back under different rules without fans in the stands.
nobody who wins anything in 2020 under these rules is ever going to be seen as a legitimate champion.
just shut it all the fuck down until 2021 and come back like normal.
Can anyone explain why scoreboard video would be prohibited? The games will be televised, so I just don't get that one.
It must be an obvious answer that I'm just blanking on because the rest of the rules are so exhaustive(ing).
Should be interesting. So no pick offs and runners get huge leads to steal bases?Fielders are “encouraged to retreat several steps away from the baserunner” between pitches.
My guess would be to prevent fans from gathering outside the stadiums... as many ballparks have screens that are visible from the outside at certain angles.Can anyone explain why scoreboard video would be prohibited? The games will be televised, so I just don't get that one.
