All Purpose Coronavirus Discussion Part IX: [READ SITE RULE IN OP] Monorail Business Is A Boomin

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Fascist. I agree. But fascist.

Without the censorship on, "fascist" almost sounds like "fast shit." Great post.

Yeah, I have a buddy who works at the federal courthouse in their IT department, he said it was an absolute nightmare when they switched to work from home. They had no policies, no procedures, and honestly, not even enough equipment to give everyone the tools they needed to appropriately work from home. They were giving people tablets to use as laptops, because they had no choice. Meanwhile, he regularly gets calls from judges saying "my printer wont print" and it turns out they dont even have the printer turned on.

Yeah, the forecasting model im using is a roughly 30% rate of people never actually coming 'back' to work. I imagine that does wonders for the IT (in general) world, as you have companies forcing people to work from home who arent really used to that idea, and can't troubleshoot basic things. I dont fault you at all for taking advantage of whats going on. People can bitch and moan about how serious this is or isn't, but theres no denying that its going to have a lasting effect on the way we go about our lives. Whatever 'normal' was wont exist again for a long time, if ever.

I have been wondering how many people are going to be found to be "non-essential" by companies who have to operate with a smaller staff while this is going on, because some of them will be able to function with "less bloat" staff-wise than they realized. The environment is going to be one beneficiary of increased work from home, which is nice, because if someone doesn't do something soon to protect my worldwide salmon, it's ****ing Rampage Time.

This is a simulation.

My dad loved Christmas and Christmas music so it was a much needed boost with how the day has gone.

Excuse me, could someone tell me where to find the exploding kittens thread?

I just witnessed some bitch pull up to a coned off parking lot of a park that has signs all over that it’s closed.

She parked right there in the street got out of her car and is now walking the track.

Parking lot. Cones. Car. Street.

Wtf.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Wolf from Wall Street made some big time stock money and he can already hear Christmas music.. lol

People hopping on social media talking about cryptocurrency like they’re Bernie Madoff is one my biggest annoyances.

I may not know cryptocurrency but if there’s one thing I do know it’s monorails.

This is going to be @JojoTheWhale

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

The site will be going down briefly for maintenance, wtf.

 

[Starat327]

@Starat327 just bought $70 worth of beer from Levante. Added a $5 tip.

My kane order was about 110 or so (I bought some for my brother as well), and I gave 10. This whole thing is going to make me spoiled. In a few weeks its gonna be like "what do you mean you cant deliver?!"

My favorite question when someone is evangelizing Bitcoin to me is "OK, so how do you readily turn that back into cash?"

Two different people told me there is a mythical Bitcoin ATM in Colorado that gives you cash. Neither could answer who maintains this ATM. One of them lives in Hawaii and put every drop of his money into Bitcoin.

 

[Asnito]

WTF is that. Like who the hell wakes up and decides it's a good idea to wear that to the store

He and his a cappella group, The Holy Forks, opened a food truck that serves ice cream laced with Ritalin 24 hours a day, and they sing as they fulfill orders. This is what I am talking about with the hats. Just look at this ****ing sphincter.
