    That's interesting, but it only explains Florida. What happened with Latinos in certain other states?

    only from my point of view with those that i know, but latinos are largely racist, some dont even realize it. many wish they were lighter skinned and straighter hair, they want to be part of the white community, they want to assimilate at whatever cost.

    Yeah, funny, hadn't gone on a date at all in about 3 years.  Sent a message on OK Cupid to this lady who likes a lot of the same stuff that spoke to that, but then mentioned because she liked pineapple on pizza that there's no way this would ever work.  Got food a few times and took it to the park and kept it going, it's been slow and weird with COVID, but I don't have anything else to do but log into work, watch streaming shit, and play video games so might as well stick with it.

    When my wife and I were both single, we were convinced by our friends to sign up on plenty of fish. I thought she was cute, messaged her, and we talked a few times on there, eventually decided to study together at the library. The rest is history, and it has been the single most genuine and loving relationship I have ever had. In these insane times, I am beyond grateful that I have her in my life. Anyway, your post just reminded me of how it started for us. Enjoy what you got now while it's there. :)

    I’ve realized that spotting is no longer a thing at the gym. I see someone about to fail on the benchpress putting up way too much weight, their arms are shaking, movement paused, slowly bending in reverse, their back arches to exorcist-levels just before their feet lift from the floor and flail about in the air: in March and prior I would have run over to help, but, now, I just watch thinking “better than the long term effects of COVID!”. Get stronger or die trying, baby!

    I finally set up a gym in the garage. when I bench, I don't put on the clips on my barbell in case of failure, lean to one side and let those plates slide off. Better that than dead.

    I guess you could say that is the right reaction, wrong way to express it?

     

    I would be lying if I said that a little version of that lady hasn't been screaming in my head for the past 4 days

    Initially my reaction was total cringe and anger for her doing so while driving, plus her super awkward shouting... but I'm with you there... internally I have a little version of that lady in my head, too. I've been going crazy at the sad and unfortunate timing and what could happen.
