Coronavirus and General O/T Thread #2

No one takes drunk driving seriously. Find a better example.

I could give you countless examples.

Does a pulmonologist smoking cigarettes mean cigarettes don't cause cancer?

 

[Lil Sebastian Cossa]

Stooooooooooop. Take your anger and conspiracy theories to Parler, not HFBoards.

My Thanksgiving will consist of the same thing it has for the past 15 years. Get drunk, watch the Lions lose, and stuff my face full of food until I hate life.

Way ahead of you.

Know the Lions will lose.
Hate life already.

The other things are just a normal Thursday, eh?

E (None of this below is directed at your post, Konnan. Just didn't want to doublepost if I could help it)

I mean, can't we all move past this?

Elected officials are hypocrites. HOLY SHIT MY WORLDVIEW IS SHATTERED. A DISHONEST POLITICIAN?

Please, for the love of all that is holy, can we just go back to how much we hate Dan Cleary and Justin Abdelkader's contracts and focus on how doughy Jimmy Howard's tummy gets over the offseason? Can we shoot the shit about funny things? I'm sick and f***ing tired of bantering back and forth in areas where you f***ing know the person on the other side isn't going to change their mind... and you refuse to change yours. You don't have to. You're dug in. You're an American.

Rock, Flag, Eagle, right Charlie?

Nobody cares about cancer.

Try again, nerd.

What about if you saw Macho Man Randy Savage before he passed and he was eating a celery stalk instead of a Slim Jim. Would that mean he was a vegetarian?

Finally someone posting the real questions the rest of us are too afraid to ask.

I, for one, am ready for some excite-MINT.

Speaking of that Macho Man, you guys think that rumor of him and Steph are true???

 

[jkutswings]

I agree with what you're saying but when public figures send the wrong message like this, it can only make things worse. They didn't need to have that gathering. You and I individually can look at that and just think, "I don't agree with what he did and I'm not doing that." But if you're a small business owner (especially in the California area) being forced to shut down and layoff a bunch of employees and you see something like that, you'd be really confused and angry. Moreso angry.

I personally think we should take the virus seriously. But I also think it's only fair to expect others to take it as seriously to the extent in which their basic economic livelihoods are stable.

I completely agree that the hypocrisy is wrong, and I think politicians should be taken to task for it. I was just making the point that it's not a good reason for the mitigation practices that they're being hypocritical about to be abandoned.

So in the spirit of trying to plow ahead:

Question (shoutout to Internet's Weirdest Questions) - If you had access to all the stats of your life, which one(s) would you want to see the most and which one(s) would you want to see the least?

The most for me is How many eggs I've consumed (favorite basic food)? Or daily average hours of sleep achieved within a normal bedtime-frame such as 11PM-8AM after the age of 16 (It's probably around 4.5).

The least for me is probably the amount of money spent that I consider as money wasted. That one probably hurts too much.

 

[Lil Sebastian Cossa]

Oh, he pounded it out, no doubt.



He's the cream of the crop and he rises to the top.
He's the tower of power, too sweet to be sour. He's funky like a monkey. Sky's the limit and space is the place!

With the fact that McMahon ran him out of there so quickly, there was something that happened. Macho Man was absolutely a freaking stud. He could draw a house like nobody's business.

Dude, I do NOT want those stats. No.

When World of Warcraft was at its peak and I was hopelessly addicted, I used the in game command to tell me my total hours played.

I remember it was in the months range. As in, 24/7 literally doing nothing else for months.

Still shakes me to this day.

Hmmm.. probably equal most/least would be times I was oblivious to something. Like an interview going well/badly, quantified of missed chances for romantic relationships that I look past for whatever reason.

Outside of that, most? How many slices of pizza I've eaten.
Least? Probably the combined total of all my goalie stats, advanced and otherwise. Man, I rag on Jimmy Howard or Bob Essensa for being in the mid-high 80s.... Hoo boy, my numbers would look like a f***ing nightmare of a "career" of beer league hockey. My great games are like 10 saves on 10 shots.

 

[Ricelund]

Nicholas Christakis went on Joe Rogan's show recently to discuss COVID. I thought it was a great interview:

 

[Lil Sebastian Cossa]

How about this question too...

How much would you pay to get like a video game "progress bar". Like you get a quest of "find a job" and you cna see it progress as you do things to better yourself. A little heart or like smiley face/star whatever to indicate what your relationships are actually like. That like the Step Brothers scouting team here would have like 3 or 4 stars completed. It would be a vital tool. A world HUD would be kinda cool.

No way you haven't seen that Big Bang Theory episode where Penny gets addicted to an MMORPG.

Oof, slices of Pizza... My heart aches just thinking of it while my brain lights up like a Christmas Tree.

And hey 1.00% is still 1.00%.

In some situations, yes. The quest for a job like you said. Or like at work when dealing with a project/client that just keeps resurrecting itself with issues and scope creep. Or, like right now I'm trying to somewhat rehab my lower body and the waves in pain level are beyond frustrating.

For other things a progress bar sounds nice but sometimes the unpredictability is necessary.

Holy shit, willfully ignorant doesn't even begin to describe this.

"Find me a worse example so I can make a better attempt at shooting it down." Is how I read that.

Think of all the good times and the friends you made along the way.

So they made that South Park epi about you?

Have you ever seen "The Guild"? I watched it and thought it was funny as hell. My best friend had a friend and their S.O. who were literally addicted to it and he's like, yeah, that wasn't a funny show. There were definitely people who were that way.
