I told you a million times you suck at humor. The whole edgy thing doesn’t work with adults. Try it on an incel forum.

One of my friends Dad passed away early April from it. One of my mom’s good friends was in the hospital with it and complications for a few weeks but is now doing ok for the most part.
Other than that I know some people who have had it with zero issues and some with issues but nothing really significant other than those two.

doesn’t take simple steps during an emergency
complains about reactions to emergency
I have a big problem with your quote and I don’t like it either. What I don’t have a problem with is being careful during a pandemic and taking steps to limit the spread of a virus. But sadly you work against the very thing you claim to have a problem with.

The amount of emergency power local, state and federal government will enact is inversely proportional to the amount of self responsible actions the citizens of this country demonstrate. The irony is that those who complain loudest about the nanny state are the ones acting like children.

That’s a legit problem to have IMO. I have some of that same problem. But this leads us to 3 things:
1st, they ALREADY have the power, so it is legal for them to use. That is lawful and while annoying is legit.
2nd, we should be on the lookout for further expansions, BUT this shouldn’t come at the expense of legitimate purposes and uses of said authority. And it means we have to respect the current powers that are already legally granted.
3rd, this means we should do our damn civic duties on our own, so the government doesn’t feel like it has to step in. And, this means we shouldn’t raise hell about obviously legal (if annoying) policies enacted by state or fed govt. Like masks.

This, I feel, would be easier if elected officials weren’t ignoring their own orders.
Newson, Pelosi, Lightfoot etc. Rather hard not to go ballistic with that type of consequence free double standard.
The U.K. is talking about freezing public sector pay while MP’s get a pay raise. We’re all in it together, or we aren’t.

Absolutely no question. That’s bullshit. You don’t get separate rules and preferential treatment unless you’re the head of state or something with legit duties.

Gov. Wolf must have forgotten about the whiskey rebellion! 
An old friend was complaining on Facebook about it along the lines of “How does that help slow the spread?”.
My response was “Well, places won’t be packed with people ripping rails of booger sugar off the toilet tanks and sharing their tooters, for one.” which got a few laughs and is hard to deny when I’d done lines with all of the people in that discussion, off the toilet tank in the bathroom of one of the dingiest, piss soaked dive bars in the whole damn area.
Occasionally It just amazes me how ignorant of their own behaviors some people are sometimes, and how easily they forget how much blood, boogers, spit, semen and mucous they trade on a relatively regular basis.

Sounds like a helluva party.
The government isn’t some monolithic, omnipotent entity. Government workers are bound by the same rules. In Australia we’ve had multiple ministers investigated for breaching lockdown restrictions, with at least 1 state and 1 federal minister forced to resign and both were also fined by police. The premier of NSW is currently under fire for not self-isolating while waiting on the results of a test. This isn’t some secret plot for the government to grab power. Literally no one wants to be going through this shit.
I don’t know if this is sarcasm or not but I’m gonna assume it’s not so here’s the thing:
If people were to just educate themselves on this, WHY IN THE HOLIEST OF FUCKS ARE YOU GIVING THEM A REASON TO EXERCISE THEM?
Especially when everyone knows politicians are ALL SCUM WHO WILL USE ANY EXCUSE TO DO THIS?
Jesus Christ, red crayons aren’t even enough for some morons. Need to start carving stick figures on the walls for some people.

It’d be fun to see half of a “well armed militia” start pissing their pants when they see what really happens when actual trained soldiers start fucking shit up.
Actually, they were pretty tame. I mean hookers and blow was a big thing but they all yearned for getting hammered with other dudes, like in their youth before they became rich.
Saudis and Gulf Arabs in general are the worst pieces of shit imaginable. Despicable assholes.
But a special mention goes out to the Japanese. My biggest culture shock came when a bunch of stereotypical middle aged, mild-mannered businessmen asked where are the one hundred Chinese prostitutes they were expecting as part of a regular business evening out.
After meeting our blank, uncomprehending stares (I was a nobody but part of a large international corporation) they threw a tantrum and threatened to break off negotiations.
As the most junior of the group, my bosses’ boss sent me out into the streets of an Asian capital that I’ve just arrived into to find one hundred Chinese prostitutes with very vague instructions that the “taxi drivers must know something”.
But that’s another story.

I don’t know. People love feeling safe, and they believe politicians will provide that safety.
I’m out of crayons, dude.
I hope you weren’t in a Muslim.coutry and ended up getting Muslim cab drivers. Would have been a wild chicken chase.

And most people think getting the boss coffee is humiliating. Were the receipts put in under ‘miscellaneous hospitality?’
Also, 100 is oddly specific. Even in my most testosterone riddled teen years, my brain would have stopped somewhere in the single digits
