I really hoped I wouldn't have to make another [Quarantimes] thread

Well!! Folks!! We're still here!! How are you all hanging in there? Glad to see more and more forumers have been able to access shots worldwide, at least.
Today I was walking my dog and found someone papered our route with extremely shitty antivax stickers and signs. After trying to peel the first off a pole and settling for just removing the half with the words "virus" and a website, and realizing there were a ton more around, I gave our City services line a call. Turns out they count as graffiti, so I spent 20 minutes listing off all the ones I saw - they should hopefully be gone by the end of next week, thankfully! Or else I'll have to make counter-signs saying VACCINES ARE GOOD ACTUALLY I guess

Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better

Also I'm totally horrifyingly depressed and it's a nightmare.
Because when a child is asked to go into quarantine due to possible exposure to Covid, of course the proper response is to threaten citizen-arresting the principal of the school with zip-ties with a couple of pals.

I am very thankful I get to bank vacation leave because I'm rocking a solid 30 unused days in that account at the moment and I guess we'll see how long it takes for them to tell me I have to use *any*
My workload is still low at home and I'm not gonna burn leave that I'm not using to actually vacation, so

Very true. It's still pretty nuts. And it seems par on course for that school and the guy who brought said zip-ties. Someone that doesn't even has his kids enrolled there no less.
Speaking of stupidity over schools and masks...sigh...
But Rob, aren't YOU the government?

exactly. would you trust a government run by ron desantis?

Look, we threw tea off a ship to prove we meant serious business about becoming our own country. The rest of the world has had over 200 years by now to come to terms over what they were getting.

Largely, it doesn't. But all the other significant western powers got blown to hell in the first half of the 20th century and here we are.....

The US makes a lot more sense if you think of it as fully balkanized with each state being its own country.
Because that's pretty much where we're at right now.
With a hostile force trying to take over each state not already their own through skullduggery
That said, given that I don't really end up around people who aren't or can't get vaccinated, I'm not as worried for my sake so I'll probably end up using it nonetheless

I did a few things yesterday to try to keep occupied actually it's just as soon as I'm alone again I get bummed out again.
I'll be ok

It's not good, man. I have all the exposure of working forty hours a week with patrons who don't wear masks because I can't make them and none of the relief of seeing any of my friends because we're all responsible adults who have a depressingly high likelihood of being asymptomatic spreaders. Or maybe symptomatic spreaders, it's hard to tell with the ragweed and the wildfire smoke.
One or two times a day I see someone walk into the library not even trying to check their pockets for a mask and I get deep-down acid-burning hatred towards folks who just want to use the computers or check out a book and have been lied to by assholes for two years. It's no way to live, but there's no end in sight, so what the fuck I guess.

She also got into powerlifting over the lockdown and showed us her biceps through her sweater, and gave us her personal records (including a fuckin' 3 minute plank holy shit)

desantis instituted a fine of $5000 for any business that requires proof of vaccination, starting in a few weeks
party of small government, btw
Is there any way for you to hold book club outside, maybe? Masked up, etc?
If you're all vaccinated and able to hang out in a backyard with spaced out seats, it might be a feasible way to hold it safely

How do you get your DS delivered, and if so, how do you avoid mail theft

Yeah, you're absolutely right. We had some good outdoor book clubs last spring, and we're getting into the season where we can do it again. Patio dining is an absolute nightmare for Oklahoma's hot season, but as long as it's not actively ice storming we should be able to get through the winter with those big mushroom heaters.
I had a haircut for the first time in 599 days.
Would have liked to make it an even 600, but the timing just didn’t work out.
I suppose ai have yet to find out as I have a tracking number but no delivery date yet. Have you tried marking the box like “biohazard” or “human feces” or “live bees”?

This happened to me with the Picross in Murder By Numbers.

But it seems fun! Seems like a fun little hobby. Create some C O N T E N T. Go to heaven on an HDD. Live forever on the web, where everybody knows your name.
I have thought about trying to stream a few times. Then I remember I'd have to do commentary and I think about what kind of stuff I would say and I bore myself too much to progress with the idea.
