My city closed all the hiking trails because people couldn't stay far enough away from each other

mine closed the ones my gf and i use to frequent a lot as well

now we drive about 45 minutes outside of the city to a remote trail for our day hikes and will probably keep that trail in our rotation since it's also at a much higher altitude and change of scenery

South Asia is in pretty bad shape and workers are going unpaid as 1st world retailers cancel manufacturing orders. Things will probably become more apparent in time.

Carnival Cruise Line announced plans Monday to resume service beginning Aug. 1, despite concerns from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that cruise ship travel “exacerbates the global spread of Covid-19.”
Carnival Cruise Line, which is owned by Carnival Corp., said it advised travel agents on Monday that eight of its ships will return to service on Aug. 1. Three of its ships will set sail from Galveston, Texas, the company said, and three others will sail from Miami. The company said two of its ships will sail from Port Canaveral, Florida.

“We are committed to supporting all public health efforts to manage the Covid-19 situation,” the company said in a statement. “We are taking a measured approach, focusing our return to service on a select number of homeports where we have more significant operations that are easily accessible by car for the majority of our guests.”

yeah i know but you can make more than most workers will in a lifetime in that short period.

Minimum salary sticker price looks great, but after top-bracket taxes (which can include a mid-to-high single digit percentage bump in some states for entertainer taxes), manager/agent fees (low-to-mid double digits), union dues, and big-city living expenses, it’s not great even if you make it to four years ( pension starts at 10 iirc). Add that to the fact that any pro player was told by his college athletic program to take the easiest major possible with no-show credits or better yet, going into the draft after junior year and boom, you have a (likely) physically and mentally disabled (about a 10% chance every year in addition to seven/eight years of accumulating injuries in hs and college) high school grad with no work experience but a few hundred k in the bank. that’s if he makes it to four years (an average with its upper bound drug pretty high by 18-year kickers and qbs who won’t die) and doesn’t get a career-ending concussion in his first preseason game AND holds on to all of his money without an accountant skimming or fourth cousin getting him to invest in their “sure thing” crypto company and doesn’t spend like he’s a 22yo who’s never had a comma in his bank account in his entire life

The average career is even worse than you mentioned, it's 2.5 years and most of those dudes are making league minimum ($495K as of 2019). Professional athletes tend to form the center of a web of financial support for family and friends, so that money goes quick.

Mike Webster was one of the best defensive players in NFL history. He lived in his truck and at rest stops after his NFL career ended and died of a heart attack at age 50.

I don’t think location makes a difference.

like, if Karen said “I’m gonna go to the moon and make fun of all the people there,” it’s still the same thing. even if nobody is on the moon, because you’re still self owning.

It isn't, but okay.

Riding on a trail isn't like sitting on the Public Mall in DC and spitting in other patriots' mouths, there's nothing unusual about commenting on people ignoring social distancing measures while trying to maintain them yourselves.

I'm actually down all of my usual riding spots and I'm stuck throwing my bike on my wagon and driving 40 minutes south and it's still a loving mess.

what’s your point though

you’re still going out to trails, where other people are, and then complaining about the people on the trails, where you also are.

if they were having this same convo and said you were an idiot for being on the trail, they’d be right.

you're being deliberately loving obtuse, it's possible to go on a trail ride safely and with consideration for your safety and the safety of others and it's possible to go on a trail ride and ignore rules, clump together, not wear PPE, etc, just like it's possible to safety pick up takeout versus sitting at Denny's for three hours breathing on the waitress. These things are not equivalent

I am going to continue scouting out remote trail locations to get my riding in on the weekends because the alternative is sitting on the internet and spreading brainworms with other crazy people.

nice. i've been thinking of driving out to one of the national forests in the hopes of it being somewhat empty but i dunno how realistic that is. worst thing would be to get there and there be 50 other yokels like me crowding round the trailhead.
