mclumber1 Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 My daughter was good sport for her 10th birthday a few weeks ago. No friends. No relatives. We didn't even go out to eat. We did get her some presents she really wanted, and had breakfast, lunch and dinner delivered to the house, and she had a nice ice cream birthday cake as well. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLeon Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Birthday this year- dinner with my sister (pretty much what it would have been in a non-pandemic year) PC - going to try to modernize it this fall. I’ve decided that I’m going to put off buying a new console for as long as possible, which should be easy since it seems like nearly everything will come to PC eventually. Rising case numbers- we really suck as a country, huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Yup. Just look at the Instagram of the guy I linked to in this thread earlier, and it's nonstop saying how the lockdowns were a mistake, it's less deadly than the flu, Sweden didn't lockdown and doesn't have excess deaths this year, mandating masks is anti-freedom, etc., etc. I may not know the counter argument to all these points, but I'm more likely to believe the medical experts around the world (not just the US in case you don't like Fauci for whatever reason), than some fitness blowhard that just yells about fat people.

Ricofoley Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 I've always figured "open up everything but protect the vulenerable" has basically synonymous with, "I don't personally know anyone in a high-risk group" since the beginning.

National Healthcare maybe or Government mandated sick leave not just for themselves but for their kids as well. How about better education because in Sweden the public has tendency to do shit like listen to Scientists when they say wear masks and social distance because they arent morons.

"Open up and and protect the vulnerable" is like when they blame poor mental healthcare for school shootings and then try to dismantle mental healthcare even further. It's all a sop and a distraction from the fact that they couldn't care less about any of it. Anyway, here's a great quote from Meadows.... "We're not going to control the pandemic."
