Churches shouldn't have been closed at all; if anything, they should have been encouraging people to head to Mass every single day☕

and women too ☕

As someone who enjoys watching this display of pure verbal swordplay among our resident forum heroes, I have to say that the opponents of Amanda Evans2 have retreated quite gracefully from his final lunges, so I suppose I’ll just offer my congratulations here. :klap:

But based on your references, it's pretty obvious to me that when it comes to food, you always go for the cheapest, most mass-produced option.
"Opium for the masses"—that should be your middle name.

Noah Perez2 said:I don't see why you're apologizing; you're absolutely right that it's pure idiocy to be given $23 for a sandwich. I fail to see anything wrong with what you said. 🤷

They're forcing their food opinions on us. 🙂

only an idiot wouldn't see ☕

I guess burgers, like pretty much everything else, can be either absolute perfection or total garbage, with all those messy shades of gray in between.

Amanda Evans2 said:They went on absolute shopping sprees. It got to the point where major retailers had to start rationing certain goods just to keep the shelves from going bare.
It’s a perfect reflection of our national character.

I mean, honestly, are we really at a point where someone has to tell you to wash your hands, eat decent food, or stop breathing down everyone's neck during flu season?

You see people walking around in those flimsy N95 masks that don't protect anyone, wearing rubber gloves, and trying to maintain a ten-foot radius from one another.
We’ve turned into a society that demonizes its own neighbors while living in these twisted, delusional bubbles.

Look, I get it—war and economic crises tend to drag the absolute worst out of humanity, but you’d think every ten years we might actually remember how selfish and hypocritical we all truly are.

I guess I'm joining the 'contrarian' camp on this one. ☕

ps. #hangintherepapa

I finally let my hair grow out after ten years of being buzzed down to the scalp, but now my hairdresser isn't taking appointments 🤦

I guess I agree that the penalty for breaking self-isolation is just laughable. It really should be way more severe than it currently is.☕

Alright, let’s move on from all this mindless bickering where everyone is just obsessed with their own little stats and numbers
Let's go playing hacks
Let's get more frequent with the grind

it's not even normal, it’s just whatever anyone wants to do

Until recently, I was pretty much handling things without a second thought, thinking the danger from the Coronavirus was negligible compared to the absolute avalanche of hysteria sweeping through everything. Then, I went out for a drink with a lifelong friend of mine—someone I’ve known forever who happens to be a doctor and a top-tier specialist, and honestly, one of the smartest, most rational people I’ve ever met. His take alone was enough to make me rethink my stance; he made it clear this isn't some joke, and that the situation is genuinely serious and dangerous, not just for the elderly. Now, I'm not saying he's 100% right, or that it won't turn out to be all unnecessary once this blows over—which is what I'm hoping for, obviously—but since I don't exactly have the expertise to make an informed assessment myself, I think I'll just defer to the opinion of someone I actually trust.

What do you mean by "we will be"?

If anyone's actually into rocker girls, they should probably take a look (though I guess Mjuza isn't exactly something you'd want to pass up either).

urbanhawk17 said:Still, seeing such a high percentage of people recovering or improving is encouraging, even if the sample size is pretty small.

edit:

Roughly what percentage of Americans get vaccinated before flu season starts? And how many of those are over 60?

Are those numbers even available somewhere?

They exist, ☕

But jokes aside, my summer cutting plan is totally trashed; instead of sticking to lean protein and fasting, I’m just sitting here drinking beer and eating a burger, so there goes any chance of fitting into those small S-sized shirts. 🤦

I mean, whatever, maybe they just can't wait until July and decided to rush their summer vacations early ☕

I suppose I tend to lean toward the skeptical side of things most of the time, but from what I've gathered, the real issue is that the virus remains largely unpredictable and unstable; the more people it circulates among over a longer period, the higher the chance we see new mutations, and if things take a turn for the worse there, it could get pretty ugly.

'we don't have fighter jets
no tanks and no trucks either
oh Carmelo Anthony
we're running out of ammo
a cold wind sweeps across the field
oh Carmelo Anthony
neither bombs can stop us
nor storms or heavy rain
where does this song echo
oh Carmelo Anthony
oh Carmelo Anthony
that's where the heart wins its fight'

☕

If you don't enjoy a little trolling, I guess you just don't actually like people ☕

Is this supposed to be my Easter gift? I guess the motto here is basically—if you don't agree with me, you're a communist.☕

Look, you guys have really gotten into it with this debate, but I guess without a cloud of cigarette smoke, some heavy alcohol fumes, and a crying baby in the background, we aren't ever going to reach a truly satisfying conclusion here ☕

I suppose I agree with restlesssurfer97 that the bigger issue is probably just the total lack of consensus regarding the actual definitions of the terms we're all throwing around.

In my view, the government ought to be social—maybe leaning toward a Nordic-style model rather than the way things are currently run here in the States

But then again, I also feel like the role of a social state shouldn't involve endlessly propping up massive state-run corporations that are unprofitable and unsustainable—you know, essentially saving jobs that simply can't survive in a free market environment just because politicians are terrified of losing votes in the next election. The same logic probably applies to maintaining that bloated, inefficient bureaucratic machine, too.

brightpilot6 said:Yes, trust. That’s really the crux of it. Social capital in America has been systematically eroded for our generation, and I fear the next one—and the one after that—won't even realize something like this ever existed. You can see the decay everywhere, from voter apathy at the polls to the way we conduct our day-to-day business interactions.

The dismantling of the concept of community in favor of forced individualism is also a fascinating phenomenon, regardless of the reality we live in. Or perhaps it would be more accurate to call it an agenda.

What does a kid like me know, really? But I guess, honestly, a guy who spends all his time on

grooming—you know, fixing up hairstyles, beards, eyebrows, shaving—it just doesn't strike me as particularly masculine. It kind of makes me nauseous when I

remember that I'm even talking about men while bringing up hair removal in the first place. 🤦

Well, I definitely didn't see that one coming...

That moment when aesthetic vibes basically take over as the ultimate symbol of masculinity, I guess.🤦

The way things are headed, maybe I’ll just be happy if urinals even still exist by the time I'm grown up.☕

When you lack actual guts, masculinity just becomes about whatever tools you happen to have on hand, I guess, in a purely technical sense. ☕
