Thank you.
Now keep the temperature below 75 the rest of the year or we know who to blame.

I also saw that the tennis court near my apartment was opened up, which makes me think that we'll start seeing the deck hockey courts, basketball courts and tennis courts in the rest of the city opening too. I'm really excited about that, the new place I'm moving into is right across from the Davis Playground in Squirrel Hill, which has a pretty nice deck hockey rink.

I don’t get why people think 80+ degree days are nice. The air around here tends to be stagnant and humid anyway. If it was 80 degrees at my work I’d be bitching and moaning.
55-75 is my Cool Zone.

I know we can talk about the angle of these people not wearing masks or social distancing, but the disgusting part to me is that people actually go into public pools. Downright disgusting.

Seems like all the necessary ingredients for a 2nd wave.
Might take more than a couple weeks to notice since almost everyone out and about be it protesting or shopping or enjoying the weather is low risk but eventually it’ll reach vulnerable groups again.

My wife is already back to work, and there's some interests happening for me. I'm actually torn because the trial is all it is, but the money is really good. If I make it through the trial period and this 2nd wave hits I may have to start all over again. Tough times to be trying to change jobs. My current work relies on retail businesses being open, (on unemployment) less money, and I don't know when that will pick up.
Just awkward.

Honestly not political. Just satisfying.
This moron broke the window of the wrong truck.
And in further breaking news, we can blame the monkeys if there is no vaccine in September.

I'm actually with Forbes management in one of the apartment complexes a little closer to Murray.

I move basically every year, that's kinda my thing
I've only renewed a lease once in the 5 years I've rented so far. Having to be locked up due to COVID and my commute made me dislike my current apartment.

Who is that person, why should I care, and how does a single 20 year old start a riot besides dying?

He was the guy who set the cop car on fire, which most accounts say began the "riot". I also believe he's the guy who spray painted the Lemieux statue.
The guy started a gofundme page to get a lawyer, and said "I'll turn myself in once I get $1500". Doesn't seem to be the brightest bulb out there.
I'm sure there’s a ton of lawyers in Pittsburgh who would take his case for free just for the notoriety....
on another topic, my 80+ year old parents decided it would be a great idea to invite a younger couple they are friends with over for dinner inside their home because it was cold outside....they both have had cancer...I’m absolutely furious with them rn...

Wow... Someone actually donated $500....
How's he going to collect it? I'm sure everything will be locked down and seized.

Seems really weird to be able to tie a riot specifically to one kid and not, say, decades of police-community distrust, but hey, I haven't lived in Pittsburgh since the cops f***ed up so bad the DOJ had to oversee the department for a while.
Speaking of riots, though, and keeping this away from politics per se, here's a really interesting historical tidbit from the Velvet Revolution-- the months long demonstration/riot that brought down the socialist government here. By most accounts, what really kicked the protests into high gear was the death of a student Martin Šmid (sort of like John Smith in English), who decades later, we all now know didn't actually exist. I've read some arguments by some of my colleagues that it was actually an attempt by the Secret Police to intimidate the students into obedience and to encourage them to break off the protest but it backfired wildly.
One respected historian even claims it was an attempt by certain elements within the Czechoslovak law-enforcement community to bring down the regime from the inside (since they knew first hand how untenable it was).Also, people always think the revolution was peaceful, but it really wasn't until the Slovak ironworkers unions started showing up to the rallies with pieces of rebar and sledgehammers. Can't imagine why things calmed down after that.

I agree with what the protests were about, but I genuinely think anyone who donates to a gofundme to bail these people out of jail are morons. Donating to that and donating to politicians seems to be 2 of the best ways to waste your money that I've seen, you get a justice boner for like 3 minutes and that's it.

A good grift knows no political boundary. If it works for people like the Bundys, it'll work for idiots on the left too.

Ehh, he doesn't have insurance? That's the excuse I see used to destroy random businesses.
