Working from home and feeling couped up.

That all makes sense to me but it doesn't always seem to work out that way...though that is only anecdotal evidence with granted is not very reliable.

Is it ok to smoke weed during the stress of a pandemic??

......You're asking strangers on the internet for permission? lol. If you can do it without their being any serious detrimental effects on yourself, go for it.

Just be careful if you have a job where they do drug testing cus you might get called into work sooner than you expect.

humanity is a disgusting plague and can't hold a candle to covid-19.

Closing thing is really purely pragmatic. If you're goal is to prevent people from dying.


Let's say 1000 people die of the flu every year (I don't know if that's true, just saying for the sake of argument). It's bad, but we don't close down the economy for it.

Now let's say you're the governor and I came up to you said "Hey, guess want, I'm gonna go "boop" and now ANOTHER thousand people are gonna die."

Now are you gonna make the cold blood decision and say "Oh well, we can't shut down the economy for a 1000 people."

I think the shocking thing about all this is the actual humane concern most politicians are showing here. It would have been easy for them to push things the other way and say "Eh, 1000 people dead, but what about that stock market chaps?" And have a poop eating grin.

The other cynical stuff about "humans being the real virus" is a sentiment I am sympathetic to, but I would point out that it shouldn't stop us from not wanting to die....

No matter what I say on facebook, it never gets responses.

Thanks lano.
I do Want responses so I dont feel so invisable.
Also I love conversation.
Maybe if I change my name and start over.

That strikes me as a drastic step. You don't necessarily need to completely break with the past like that to start anew but if you're not liking what your page is looking like for some reason i don't blame you

I think that is true. But would say the fact that you care (forgive me if I'm wrong) would suggest that you are not above these popularity games. We all, whether we admit it or not, have a desire to be liked by people and it hurts when people intentionally (or seem to intentionally) to not like us. It goes back to the animals. If we were all in the same primate community group, we'd not show eachother such disrespect...or if we did it is because we were in a tangilble pecking order in said group where the lack of respect would seem merited.

All that aside: You should not make posts hoping to get likes, of course, as you probably already know. What I suggest is that you make posts according to this metric: If I looked back on this post a year from now, how would I feel? If you wouldn't feel dumb for making the post, then there isn't much to regret.

I try to make posts that, not only am I not embarrassed by, but that would give me a positive feeling when looking back. I'm specifically talking about facebook here.

For me, that's really nice quotes from books I was reading at the time, or PSAs reguarding an issue that was relevant at the time.

Posts of me drinking an oversized beer have probably gotten me more likes than those, but those meant something to me, and I smile if I go back and read them.

For you, that might be a joke you posted. It may have not gotten you likes but if you smirk a year from now from reading it, who cares.

I have two bosses.

For example - he is giving me the silent treatment right now. Today, when I was talking to him about work he 1. Cut me off and walked away and 2. When I was answering a question he asked another employee who wouldn’t know the answer, he literally refused to look at me. He stared at my coworker the entire time, directed all follow up questions to her which I had to answer to the back of his head, and then thanked her at the end. He hasn’t told me why he’s upset, though.

That is a level of immaturity that might be best to speak with HR about. Assuming you work for a company with it's own hr department.

You should try and be direct him first, but if this does not solve the problem, i think this is the kind of thing that you can tell an hr person, who then probably tells your boss' boss, and hopefully that leads to a behavior change.

Help me figure this out.

Looking at it closer, Trump was was specifically talking about the pharmaceutical version of the drug, and not the version of it that is used in fish tanks.

But in any case there was no real evidence that the drug would work when Trump said that statement about chloroquine, as his advisor, Dr. Fauci, had to say almost immediately afterward. That was Trump just saying a bunch of doo dee that he heard someone he likes say and just took it as wholesale truth or that he knows isn't true and just says it because he thinks optimism is more politically convenient for himself.

What the President says, for better or worse, carries weight, with all of us, even those of us who know he's corrupt and a liar. He's the President - we have to listen when he speaks.

It's no surprise that some foolish old couple got it into their heads that they were doing something smart and creative by taking some fish tank cleaner - it doesn't kill tiny fish, how could it kill me?

But even if the article isn't true...why is the President lying about this? What the actual eff?
