Awwww, that sounds almost magical to have watched, really glad for all of you.

I live to apologize to her.

I’ll see if I can make it work sometime.

Glad it made you smile! Also glad I’m not the only one who gets reprimanded for laying out an arm incorrectly!

Are there data to support this argument though?

The markets went down early on as everything everywhere shut down, then I don’t think had another sustained run of losses? And while trump didn’t do great at the response, his ineptitude didn’t really shine through until after the initial closures etc.

That’s not to say the market is all that matters and I think his lack of response killed many people, it doesn’t seem to have moved markets. (Darkly ironic, as most of the deaths were among senior citizens who have a low propensity to spend, you might perversely argue more seniors deaths led to a redistribution of wealth towards those with a higher marginal propensity to spend thus helping the markets. Obviously super immoral/evil but again, in terms of the markets…)

Ooooh, good answer.

I’m going for accuracy.

You could argue trump’s response maybe made the markets slightly worse but blaming the covid market crash on American stupidity seems pretty far fetched.

He was a synonym for rich guy for awhile. And was even on WWE. So, depends how you define cool.

His whole plan was to avoid jail, I don’t think he gives a damn what happens next beyond his own enrichment.

Did you folks not have Red Shoe Diaries?

That’s damn fine work!

There’s been a significant, internationally tested drop in functional literacy skills in the last decade or so.

I agreed to sub for a friend’s soccer team despite having not played for a decade or so.

Fast forward a decade: I captain a team, play on two others, have made a boatload of awesome friends and am in better shape than I’ve ever been (which is a weird thing to say as an almost 40 year old.)

Christ, this sounds like an onion article.

Related story, basically the hardest I laughed during covid.

Being a good Vancouverite, when those convoy fucks wanted to parade around and honk at hospitals, hundreds or thousands of us with bikes got in their way and kept them away from the hospitals.

Okay, so we’re blocking an arterial and some convoy fuck is screaming at us about how, in his words, “we’ve got to protest smarter.” He then finally realizes we have been politely letting non convoy cars through the lane next to him, so floors the accelerator and aims for that lane. But, he didn’t shoulder check and slammed right into a car in that lane in front of a cop. So for the next however long we got to point and laugh while advising him about the merits of shoulder checking and how he needed to drive smarter.

Gotta love when an asshole causes a 100% fault car crash with no injuries.

I wonder if one of you is switching the words around from dead hang?

A dead hang is when you hold yourself from a chinup bar.

Cheese grater.

I can’t speak for OP but personally, I want to help as many small lil communities as I can as I think that’s the best way to expand.

Oh, I think you’re completely correct in a world where time is infinite. I just… I’d love to take up linux as a hobby and all the hours that entails but I have a lot of hobbies already. There are so mamy things I want to read before I die and fighting through Linux technical manuals to get my weird triple monitor/tv/receiver set up correctly, well, that isn’t really up there in my top 50 life priorities.

Thank you! I will hopefully not have to take you up on this offer but I have it saved and already appreciate it!
