When working from [chat], it is helpful to take this into account:
  • Attempt to shovel a corner free of the piles of filth you wallow in.
  • Make sure this corner has no windows. This is good for morale on video calls so that your co-workers do not have to see the apocalyptic scenes in The Outside.
  • Nobody can see that you aren't wearing pants.
  • Oh god having internet access is seriously bad for my productivity while WFH.

    The COVID-19 virus is set to bring English cricket to a more emphatic standstill that even two World Wars, following the ECB's recommendation that all recreational cricket be suspended with immediate effect.

    @Bogart

    COVID-19 has now officially shut Cricket down harder than the two World Wars did.

    Quoted from an acquaintance.
    If the normal flu is a sword, then Covid-19 is the Rapier of Elder-slaying. Same base damage, a bit more range (infectiousness), a higher crit chance and bonus damage against the elderly

    I wasn't! We've all relaxed every now and then by jerking a few cocks off on to our smiling faces.

    my methadone clinic is increasing their take homes which is super risky for them but clearly safer than the risk of having hundreds of us huddle in there every day. I already have 5 a week but my wife only has two, and they bumped her to 6 and me to 13 so we only have to go once a week now.

    been honestly my biggest fear right now. it's been over a year and I've really had such an amazing time, if that plug got pulled on me it would be instant disaster, and my wife suffers from legit pain so for her it would be even worse. I hope this makes it easier for them to keep operating

    hope everyone is doing well. I'm on day 4 of janitorial work from home, which so far has consisted of clocking in, napping, and then clocking out. for full pay. really just can't say enough how lucky I am.
