My local Chinese & amazing chip shop has had utter poo poo business since all the outbreak news and it makes me mad. Its run by a single ancient Chinese dude who's always sneaking me extra chips and random amazing fried things or asking if I want to try a new dish. I've been there 4x this last week and I've been the only person in every time. Meanwhile I'm asthmatic, the wife is diabetic with a mother in the USA with no health insurance. Still can't get the nerds at work to wash their drat hands after the toilet though. People were laughing that I have a giant thing of alcohol sanitiser on my desk today.

ThomasPaine posted:I'm genuinely worried for the sizable number of Chinese (and Asian in general, because yes racism) students in Britain, and in particular the significant number who don't speak particularly great English and can't effectively communicate particularly under duress. They don't deserve the inevitable poo poo that's going to be flung at them as a result of the coronavirus stuff. Even outside of that, the reception we give them as a nation is loving embarrassing when compared to how westerners are treated over there in general. Yeah my friend's Chinese dad has had a big decline in customers at the restaurant he works at, and has had people moving away from him on buses and the like.

Not because the Prime Minister yesterday published a “battle plan”, but because the French have banned kissing. That doesn’t mean giving up snogging their mistresses, obviously. There are limits to the sacrifices anyone can reasonably be expected to make. But those two-cheek pecks for acquaintances have been suspended, as is the Anglo-Saxon handshake, while governments and virologists figure out whether we’ll all be dead in six weeks, or should press pause on that holiday. The telegraph is a bad website because you can bypass the paywall by halting the page load half way through.

I've read rather more of that article than I would have liked and I'm still not quite sure who the gently caress she thinks is "generation me" like, my assumption was it was going to be a boomer slagging off young people because it's the telegraph and the last paragraph or so pretty much confirms it quote:It’s up to the younger and the stronger now to repay the sacrifices of the older generation with sacrifices of their own. To prove that, when it really matters, the “Me” generation can become “Us”. Too many lives are in their sanitised hands. this bit also seems like it's going in that direction, as the irony appears unintentional quote:Can the “Me” generation, who have never been denied anything in their privileged lives, be relied upon to self-isolate or will they start whingeing how “stressy” it all is when the authorities try to curtail their freedom to even a minor degree? the only thing that doesn't quite fit with it being millennials or generation z is the bit about mid-90s antivaxxers and the consequences is it Gen X? that's generation me? but then why the bit about stressiness which seems like a snowflake thing?? also quote:The touching sight of a line of women at the basins in the John Lewis loos, all silently mouthing the first verse of God Save the Queen as they soaped fingers and thumbs, was proof that I was not alone. We were all doing our bit.

Josef bugman posted:it feels like people who are older and more comfortable just don't want to hear about anything which makes them feel bad/ asks them to change I think this is pretty accurate. Like Biden got smashed by the under thirties or whatever the demographic is but the last thing people want is a bunch of snot nosed kids telling them they've been doing it all wrong all this time. If Bernie was less popular with young voters it might actually serve him better overall, as it is Biden seems to have provided an easy out for people.

I know 'IT nerds don't know how to wash' is a cliche but gently caress me the ones at my work are appalling. I've seen one of them sneeze on his monitor and leave the snot to dry on the screen, seen one put his hand down inside the back of his trousers for a good rummage then use that same hand to touch everything in the communal kitchen while making tea, and several who open-mouth crunch and chew crisps while shout-talking at the same time and spray wet crumbs around everywhere. The worst one carried a Greggs pasty in the paper bag into the bathroom, put it on the floor, then emerged and went straight out without flushing or washing their hands all in the time that I was washing my own. jackhunter64 fucked around with this message at 13:52 on Mar 6, 2020 |

The two are intimately linked. To keep down the number of fatalities, those of us who are stronger are going to have to put the interests of the weakest first.
