I think it might be important to go on and live your life and enjoy yourself, no matter WTF everyone else is thinking and doing. No matter what else is going on with the world.

To get all wound up about something on which you likely can/will have ZERO impact, serves no purpose at all except to virtue signal and to pump yourself up.

Get on with life. If you don't want to, at least try to enjoy the BS you are bathing in.

Bullwinkle and I will be flying to Baku this weekend. True or BS? Up to you to decide... Just as you have to decide is all the other rubbish the media puts out is True or BS.

And one wonders why the infection rate and body count keeps increasing?
What me worry?
It’s like smoking, we always think it won’t happen to us!
Roll the dice on covid, might as well take up smoking too!




Woke!

Look at the animosity and vitriol here. Is disgusting, and serves no purpose other than to further divide us.

Let's all try to be nice to somebody today, even if they aren't on your same political identity team.

You have a good point.

I have been biting my tongue lately but it is difficult to not react (never mind respond civilly) to some posters' idiotic positions.

I am offended by the suggestion that folks respecting the suggested behavioural guidelines presented by informed professionals are "basement dwellers living in fear" (what a John Wayneish BS heroic stance)....being promoted by individuals who somehow think their amateur views are to be respected.

Selfish immediate gratification for a desire to do whatever/whenever they want is NOT an exercise of personal "freedoms"....but rather is a myopic view of a greater good. And any conspiracy theorist just need a cat scan of their skull to see if it is hollow or just petrified gray matter.

It's difficult to maintain a non-reactive response to a clueless approach to risk management.

There is no zero on any risk management scale .

I am biting my tongue.....best as I can.

We just need to cutoff the internet to those stuck in their basements. Let them out in a few years once the coast is clear. It will save them a lot of hand wringing from being mad others are living life.

Just another chocolate in the candy box.

Offended? You rail against what you are Ged.
Go ahead and let loose or bite it, your choice. I'm not shaking in my boots.

And as for everyone 'just getting along'... College graduate of the Enlightenment? Peace, love and Tacos?
Better wear a steel collar because there's some who will cut your head off no matter how much you 'love'.

Even on this board. :spingrin:

Have been in the tech biz since leaving college. 50% of business has always been done in Europe and Asia.

They stopped adding additional pages to passports a while back. Visas from China, India, Brazil, etc. take full pages.

So, it's the exact same passport, just more pages due to technicality? Got it.

Maybe paranewter can show the same? He probably uses his Bible, many more pages available to stamp.

Rousing Rhetorical Recreational Rapport


Arguing with otra A-Hs is all good (mostly) clean FUN.

Costing (and affecting) NOTHING.

The limited time spent here would likely just be wasted elsewhere.
