Elizabeth Mendoza said:Honestly, Rogue One is actually pretty decent.

Yeah, but "alright" is a bit of an understatement—it wasn't anything special, really. Honestly, I was expecting a much higher level of quality from that movie given the potential.

What I'm actually curious about is how the new Batman is going to turn out—especially with Andy Serkis stepping in as Alfred. 🤣🙏

brightpilot6 said:There is a spectrum, certainly.

In our case, we didn't even implement a complete lockdown, so I truly believe we didn't go to any extremes. Most of you seem generally dissatisfied with the measures taken, yet you don't have—and especially didn't have back in early March—a clear vision of what specifically you would have done differently. I am talking about the entire system, the entire country. Let's be honest, probably nobody actually has that kind of blueprint.

Furthermore, it is an issue—and something I have witnessed firsthand within certain sectors of the public service I deal with—that people have interpreted safety guidelines very selectively, often interpreting them in whatever way allowed them to do the least amount of work. I wouldn't be surprised if that's been happening in parts of the non-COVID healthcare sector too. But then again, that is simply a flaw in a decaying system, and that decay has merely become more visible due to this stressful situation.

And perhaps that’s for the best; maybe more people will finally see things for what they are. Because once the virus passes, the rot will still be there.

I already mentioned my specific blueprint to you. Hint: Taiwan, Korea, Japan, Singapore.

Like, just how much everyone was freaking out about Italy—well, they could have been mentioning Taiwan a hundred times a day in the news and on ESPN, masks and everything else, not that I want to keep repeating myself.
You take it step by step, and if things aren't getting better, you tighten the screws. Like I said before.

And there's an added issue, which I've personally witnessed in parts of the public sector I deal with, where teams were being incredibly loose with safety guidelines—I mean, really stretching them to do as little as possible. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if it's the same story in parts of the non-COVID healthcare sectors too. But that's just a symptom of a rotten system, and all that rot just became way more obvious because of this high-stress situation.

Well, that's an even deeper layer to this that people aren't even bringing up, and I gotta wonder, how much money do you think is going to get pocketed?
Everything is just going to be labeled as "economic stimulus."
The whole virus thing is going to become a convenient excuse for everything.
We're seeing even more extreme cases over in Mexico and Canada.
So it's kind of weird to me how you're defending these measures so unconditionally when you know exactly how much room they create for people to abuse the system.

I'm not one of those people advocating for doing absolutely nothing, but yeah, we were definitely cutting corners on the rules.

Speaking of Alfred, is anyone else actually watching Pennyworth?

Elizabeth Mendoza said:Anyway, did you finally score that hairdresser's number?

What kind of luck do I have? By the time I actually make a move, they'll probably have lifted all the restrictions anyway.

Be happy while you still have a reason to be. In my house, we're using less shampoo and way more bar soap lately.

My hairline is receding fast, JB. It’s already halfway up my head.

Just buy some earplugs and you'll finally get some peace...

Try scrubbing your scalp with some Clorox and shining a high-powered flashlight on it. That’s what the top experts recommend.

I called my barber today and he told me he can squeeze me in two weeks, but apparently, I have to book a facial treatment too.
I am not letting anyone touch my hair with those cheap clippers, just like I never have before!

My wife will handle it. She already gave me a haircut back during the lockdown, and honestly, I’ve noticed women look at me a lot more often now. It turns out pity is the new magnet. Kenek, get in touch to set up an appointment...

If you were some kind of player like Branko, you’d be busy hooking up with a hairstylist in a private salon image

Honestly, I don't even care. Right now, my hair situation is basically 2002 Jason Statham—just waiting to shave it all off down to the skin.

Show some Respect. The man is married. What kind of person do you think he is?

JB. Honestly, everyone should just wear masks this fall, they aren't going to let anyone in without one.

Branko isn't even married. He’s just out here living his best life with a cat. Honestly, you should probably just take a page out of Branko's book.

Don't forget the other fan favorite: just covering the cell with beard hair.😉

My bad, I thought you were replying to Sportivo. Total brain fart on my part.

B, what’s the deal with all this talk about them getting government bailouts, and is it actually true that Rika is headed straight for bankruptcy? 😂
